Looking at the photo of the circuit board I can't see any sign this is opto isolated from the RPI's power source. What safety precautions are being taken?

Parts of the Linux stack equivalent to colors and faker are carefully audited and reviewed by multiple people? That sounds to me like elevating them to important bits in a false equivalence.

I think this is an example of the 3rd party crapware that is more frequent a reason for a user to needlessly replace hardware that would have functioned correctly, quickly and more securely with a vanilla install, but a vendor accepted paym

I think you could make a similar criticism about construction and architects.. Why would an architect care about burning their limited years to establish themselves on renovations of the vast quantities of older and uninteresting house stoc

Yes, to me "completely solves 1)" would mean using mono/etc for the other platforms and having a .net compatible system working seamlessly for all of them. (Then you could get the same critiques as java web start.)

That sounds like a calculation by poetic metaphors. There's always been a concern that mutations that cause greater virulence could shift death to younger people via a metabolism paradox like swine flu seemed to have. Death sounding dr

If it is a group accumulating passwords via extensions it would make a lot of sense to me if they planned to sell them like credit card data on bulletin boards. I don't think individual financial accounts would sell that well without r

The FDA evaluates food packaging and optimistically dismisses chemicals entering the consumer. But let's assume they don't, you are saying that given a new chemical added to your bloodstream you want to assume it is safe based on

If it is showing up in bloodstreams it needed FDA approval. That we can do these studies is an unacceptable regulatory gap. Given enough substances it is only a matter of time until we will eventually be doomed by this incompetence if our i

If you don't exercisize in your commute you more likely use more energy to either burn energy or treat the results of too much stored energy.

I don't really get why the positive test rate is not supposed to have gone up significantly with availability of at home tests. Shortages of at home tests would naturally lower it again, but isn't this a useless number now that we

I have to admit the NFT is a positive here since you could prove ownership that a site like archive.org could prove they could verify.. So an independent third party could have more ways to navigate IP law and be able to replace failing ser

I think it would be far more frequent that crackers gain control of NFTs and transfer them to a new account. Are users going to rejoice in the existence of a smart receipt they didn't understand when they are locked out of their purcha

I don't really know much about that job market but I would just point out that becoming a deeper expert in something very iOS developer specific might be a strategic mistake compared to learning just enough about the non-native apps pe

Someone else already mentioned it but I also think it is a good idea to look for University IT/DevOps positions, or maybe scientific computing, etc. They are generally much more interested in reliability over risk and are much happier

Looking at that nature article I think the delusion is that influenza hasn't also been causing many more problems in young healthy people like the ones described and that makes it hard to have a real discussion about what to do if afte

How does your license prevent someone redistributing source code over GitHub? What does copilot claim as far as licensing rights beyond fair use? You may be practically limiting copilots use of your code but I don't see any licensing d

3% a month is not reasonable by past metrics. Utility companies like heating oil that didn't want to loan money used to charge 0.5-1.5% per month after the grace period back when normal mortgage rates were ~7% (APY) and car loans more

The study was done in the EU on older adults.. They are very unlikely to eat McDonalds and meat is not as subsidized as in the US. This study might return opposite results in the US, or even elsewhere within the EU like Germany, where obesi

It doesn't sound normal to me. I would recommend you contact your National Data Protection Authority and provide them the data you've received and cancel the contract.

Yes, this time it is digital so it's hopeless and since someone may get into a long dispute over product placements, every app should be equally likely to be bringing in protocols that are purely for ads. The only solution is to let th

Putting "no added sugar" on a product box isn't meaningless because there are legal reprucussions to fraud. If nothing is happening when games with "no ads" have ads then that is a criticism to bring to the regulato
