Attaching eyeballs to your hands sounds really fun actually, but we are already walking a pretty thin line just trying to not make people sick. Not sure experiments like this would be comfortable for most people, so this is why i think ever

Isn't it what black magic is all about? Unorthodox technique, that you can explain if you try hard enough (in a sense, everything that reliably work could be explained and someone has to came up with in the first place), used by people

You don't have to constantly change the liquid if you don't go for the looks and use the good coolant, instead of shampooie colored one. If you have build custom loops, you should really understand the difference. AIO are much clo

Really expected more when i read the title. It's a stretch to call this a "water-cooled machine", when it's just one all-in-one CPU cooler. Water-cooled machine should be a custom loop. It's a lot more hassle, but t

Following that logic, every single species on Earth should go extinct. As bad as we are, we are still the best. Simply because we have the most advanced brain.

It's a common sense to me, but if you want, we can do the math. Should be pretty easy to calculate humidity and rice desiccant properties to end this joke once and for all. Logically, it should be better to let phone dry in open even,

by ss248 9y ago
You think "rice usage" is not a controversial claim in the first place? You are trying to create "negative humidity" with rice. Are you serious right now? EDIT: Watch this rant from a guy who works in the repair shop. No

by ss248 9y ago
"dry in a bag of uncooked rice" Don't actually do this. It's a myth. You can only get rice dust inside your phone that way. That's the only thing you can possibly accomplish.

Can someone explain this "Purism" thing? I understand that they are trying to build laptops with secure components. But they are using Intel processors. What about Intel ME? There is some workaround or they just let it be?

You are right, but i don't think that's actually possible. It's not easy to educate general population. How would you teach critical thinking, if most people just don't want to? Current solution is to just babysit genera

What kind of "2FA"? SMS 2FA is not secure. Stand-alone device for every single service? Secure, but acquiring one is not so simple and not every service provides them. And do you really need to bother with multiple passmanagers a

So 1 bit per Hz? What about amplitude modulation? And shouldn't higher frequencies give you proportionally higher bandwidth then? Yeah, I guess article would be better than trying to explain everything in comments.

Exactly. Anonymity doesn't promote negative behavior, it promotes honesty.
