I carefully charged a Motorola G Power 2020 to a 60% SoC (which should be very safe) and left it in the car, unplugged, as a spare. It puffed up in about 6 months. An ignored Galaxy S7 puffed up while sitting on a shelf, unplugged, in a cl

I don't miss it. I got a pair of 9800GTs back in '08 to play with SLI. It only helped with some games, and despite having all those video output jacks the rig only supported two monitors. By 2015, the essentially-free iGPU part o

That's an excellent and terrific point. In this way, the dichotomy between Windows and Linux can be as if they're just two sides of the same "vetted" coin.

Eh? No. It's just a device attached to a computer. But in a Plug-and-Play world, its addition is noticed by the operating system -- as has been normal for decades. Microsoft's Windows operating system sees this new hardware ID an

Me, too. For me, it was easier without the DarkReader plugin enabled than with it (which is kind of common), but it wasn't great to see either way.

I don't know about "most smartphones," but the FM bits were commonly a built-in with Qualcomm and some other chipsets for a coon's age. Even the OG Motorola Droid, of 2009, had the parts inside for an FM radio. They jus

That only applies to the subset of TVs that use Google TV/Android TV. Not so much for the rest of them that have operating systems with names like Roku TV OS, Tizen, WebOS, and Fire TV OS. They do their own things.

Some of that may be because the common vernacular uses the word "Loctite" to describe any manner of threadlocker. It is this way even though Loctite also produces a vast array of products that have nothing to do with theadlocker,

My first PC had an ST-225, and I'd like to confirm that it is indeed MFM. (I miss the gronky startup sounds from that thing.) If you want to modernize the storage for that old PC, then Lo-tech is probably a good choice. They've

It keeps getting cheaper and better -- for me. I get a lot more use (read: cheaper per interaction) and much better quality results from the $20 that I spend on this stuff every month than I did several years ago. (And several years befor

At home, my solution to that is to use lighting fixtures have Edison sockets inside for a bulb to screw into, just like they always used to. The fixtures last forever, and may have already been there for half a century. It doesn't nee

Right, sure. I can burn through some tokens with Codex. (But I can burn through some tokens with ChatGPT, too, and some people spend a lot of time there. Non-programmers use the bot for all kinds of things.) What's the ratio of re

I do that, too. The recycling is in inexpensive stacking totes that have lids; the same kind of totes I sometimes pack in tight for cross-country jaunts. They stay stacked and they don't leak. Food waste gets composted outside ("

The price of a new Yamaha GX-1 in 1975 was around $60,000, or about $385,000 in today's money.

Yeah, it's inconvenient when the [effectively] black-box router device that only the bot understands goes out to lunch, and takes access to the bot along with it. But the degree of inconvenience is up to the beholder. One way is using

Perhaps. But that hasn't happened, and it may or may not ever happen; we don't know the future. All we know is the past and the present. And that today, we have tokens to burn.
