Middle click still closes tabs which is my most frequent way to close tabs. As I mentioned Vivaldi is my Chromium based browser of choice, and it is far better in the handling of pinned tabs. They go up to a separate section at the start of

I've tried to switch from Vivaldi to Floorp and there is some things that Firefox does that drive me absolutely nuts. The main one is the behaviour of pinned tabs. Pinning in Firefox turns it into an icon that is harder to hit and does

Nah, this is E-mount so all the lenses are modern. It is just that modern mirrorless lenses rely heavily on image correction.

Exactly, the modern mirrorless camera should be providing options to use the latest technology as well as the full manual control for when you need it. Imagine what you could do with the stacking capabilities of modern smartphones with a st

You just reminded me that I had tried Catia once before and that it also completely flummoxed me in how unobvious its approach was. Now why would anyone choose that program as the one to base theirs off of, it isn't like Pro/E and

Solidworks perpetual licensing has always had an annual maintenance fee associated with it, but they changed it a couple years ago where if you let your maintenance subscription lapse they charge you for the years you missed plus an additio

How long does supercharging take? Even at 30 minutes, that is only a rate of 2C which is not that extreme for some cell chemistries as long as temperature is controlled.

Unless you actually work for a cell manufacturer you aren't getting completely fresh cells though. They are talking about the first charge after the jelly roll is sealed into the can. When I would build cells by hand the standard proce

From having worked a bit in the industry I'm a bit skeptical about this study, I've definitely seen studies and experiments that used different initial charging conditions that would have shown better fade performance if this was

We long ago got to the point where audio circuits in phones were perfectly fine for typical headphones. Especially considering the circuitry was mostly built into the SoCs. Good audio circuitry that is completely transparent is easy to desi

The author was already managing the team though. So it seems like there is an obvious recovery plan if the manager doesn't work out after a few months. Sure it sucks for the author to have all that work re-added, but the effect of a ba

Do you worry about the risks of using a Chinese OEM considering the rulings against Hik and Dahua for NDAA and the FCC? Seems like the smart move if you are using an OEM is to at least use one of the Taiwanese OEMs Consumer grade cameras ar

I mean, there isn't much the cameras have to do. They need an SoC that can process relatively low resolution video and output it over a network. Anything complex is intended to be done through a cloud service to sell a subscription. Co

If you listened to his response it was very much centered on his communication whether he intended it that way or not. I guess I should have elaborated more about the ICs. With experienced employees they should know how to provide feedback

I think this statement is really missing the point of 1-on-1's. They should be time set aside for the employee to talk about whatever is on their mind. It is ideally an opportunity for them to bring up any issues or concerns they might

Agreed, as someone with significant experience with SolidWorks, and varying experience in Creo and NX, Onshape is the only "free" CAD software that has equivalent user experience to any of those, just such a shame that Onshape&#x2

Even if that is the case, it is more of a commentary on how companies have overall failed to come up with anything creative for quite a few years. All of the products that are the "next big thing" currently are hampered by the cur

I didn't say anything about it being more useful than a phone, but the next big thing would have to solve problem(s) that a phone (and other existing devices) cannot solve to the same degree.

I saw this news and my reaction was, "Of course it is, doing anything else would be stupid." But that on its own doesn't mean it could just be a phone app if the hardware adds something useful to the way the user interacts wi

No it doesn't, there is maybe a few grams of copper between the wiring and PCBAs in the devices. Majority of the weight is going to be cast aluminum (nearly worthless), plastic, and glass.

Those aren't an equivalent solution at all. A NAS is for storage of lots of data, even the biggest options from the companies you mentioned wouldn't provide as much data as I have on my NAS. If I were to host the data in a real so

As I said, while that was the brand I had, brands like QNAP and Asustor have also had the exact same issues. These devices are all just examples of poorly supported hardware, where a solution where you control the hardware and software inst

I'd assume that every consumer NAS device is insecure these days. I had a Terramaster NAS and was hit with a ransomware attack because of the poor security of their OS through a feature I had turned off. It caused me to look into it mo
