My main objection to the newer EV sounds is that they are tonal enough to be recognized as a musical chord, but not a pleasant one. It’s either vaguely minor like a horror movie score, or a downright dissonant mash of pure sines.

Personally, I use KeePass and a self-managed password database. I look at it as the "something I have" factor being the database file itself, and the "something I know" being the master password that decrypts it. Then it

Noticed this on my bill this morning. The billing tier I'm currently using should include 4 TB/month outbound for free (I barely used 100 GB in June) yet I was billed at the $0.005/GB "overage" rate. Luckily I'

Here's something I just thought to try (although I can't do it myself; don't/won't own a smart speaker) -- If a person were to play something like "The Downeaster Alexa"[1] in the room, would that wake it

Broadly it could be called “a breach of driving etiquette.” If you are traveling straight in your lane at a steady speed, and somebody enters your right-of-way and forces you to brake or steer away from your intended path, that person is sa

> The file, supposedly a corrupted XZ file, is actually a valid XZ stream with some bytes swapped — for example, 0x20 is swapped with occurrences of 0x09 and vice versa. My under-caffeinated brain can't unsee that as a silly referen

Anecdotally, yes, it happened to me. An older extension spring setup where each end of the spring had a J-shape hook. The hook itself sheared off of the body of the spring and shot a ~2 inch steel boomerang across the garage. Fortunately my

That's true; with a cap of 250 Mbps for the DCP stream, and a 4K frame size of 4096 × 2160, that's ~28 bits per pixel (if the soundtrack is disregarded). There might be a small amount of subsampling or run length encoding going on

For straight-timed pop music, think about it like the markings on a ruler. Everything is based on a doubling or halving of something else. Pick some reference event, like how your foot would want to tap along with the song. If you listen, s

There was at least one called "Barcodes and More" offered by HP. I distinctly remember it being plugged into the LaserJet IIIP at my parents' house when I was much younger, but I don't remember anything about how/if

Dang, you're right! Check out this video[1] around 1:35. (Mute it though, seriously.) There's software that pulls the same metadata that I did. Definitely need to do some digging now. EDIT: It's probably a UTi120P given the a

I can respect that. I think a lot of preference might boil down to the specific tool in question, along with when it was manufactured. Personally, I prefer Wiha screwdrivers far above any other brand, while Klein makes the best crimper tool

I'm curious which model you're referring to. I scanned pages and pages of options without considering Seek. One of my requirements, I probably should've mentioned, is that the unit had to run standalone -- no smartphone app.

Those lineman's pliers are ubiquitous to the point where an electrician on a jobsite can say "hand me those Kleins" and everyone knows they mean the pliers.
