For a minute there, I was picturing a connector with an odd number of pins (3), and was actually hoping that they were indeed non-polarized. This would allow for ground to be on the middle pin and for directional signals to radiate outward

No, not really. Dynamic loudspeakers and dynamic microphones are the same thing. They always have been the same. They've got the knobs for the design variables turned in different directions, but they're still the same. They even

For USB to a computer, specifically: Lots of folks just don't care. It's not on their radar. Historically, lots of relatively popular printers have had pretty iffy support for that -- with a USB B port that ties directly into th

Sure. I think I can explain the advantage of that. With an Internet connection to their clown, a Bambu Labs printer doesn't require a person to deal with computers in the traditional sense. Like, at all. The printer can be over there

You're right. 6GHz wasn't usable as a part of standardized wifi until 6e. I'd like to choose option C: I thought otherwise, and I was wrong in thinking that. I'd like to submit my previous comment, just above, as a ci

I keep BitChat running on my phone. Never had a peep from it. 0 connected peers, always -- in every environment. This leads me to believe that it either does not work, or that I am the only one using it (in which case it also does not work

In the sense that RF noise can be a source of entropy: Sorta*. But one doesn't need the whole thrift-store television set to do that; the visual aspect of a CRT displaying analog video snow just adds style points**. *: Sorta, becaus

In regulatory regions where it is usable, Wifi 6 (802.11ax) added some 6GHz channels. Wifi 6e extended that to roughly the entire 6GHz band, for ~1GHz of contiguous RF bandwidth in that area alone. The "old" cellular bands aren&#

In the mid-90s, I retired my 486 hardware and brought it over to a local ISP that we were friends with. It had a second life doing stuff like delivering mail, handling IRC, serving web pages, and whatever else a few of us wanted from it. T

Hah. I was joking around, but that's a truly excellent reply. :) The one I'm familiar with wants about $60 for a 3-gallon tub, which is positively cheap compared to $150. I should make a point to stop in there again soon and get

I usually buy ephemeral fruits and vegetables frequently, and in small quantities. So, no: I don't go to Costco for those things. That's in-and-out local grocery store stuff, not Costco trip stuff. When I'm at Costco for

That sounds pretty great. If we could just flip 1 switch to accomplish things in absolutes, then that'd be awesome. I'd like to flip the switches that absolutely end poverty globally, absolutely eliminate guns from the US, and ab

It did more to break bots that were fueled by righteousness than it did those that were fueled by money. That's antiproductive, in that it promotes survival of only the worst bots.

Man. The old-school ice cream place I grew up with is happy to sell bulk ice cream, in any quantity, in single-unit volumes ranging from a pint to up to 3 gallons. (The prices for this are on the website, and also on the wall behind the c

It is true that their packages don't shrink. There's one in a nearby city that I'm very familiar with. But at those kinds of quantities, their prices are 50% more than the higher-end store brand at the store that's near

I like PoE, too -- ethernet in general is something that I think is pretty swell. But most people are not like us. They're not interested in wires, and many have grown up in a very connected world where there aren't any wires. Sm

I see. So when the tub of ice cream decreases in size from 64 ounces to 60, 56, 52, and finally 48 ounces while the price stays the same (or even goes up), then: That's not necessarily shrinkflation; that might instead be a result of h
