I'm happy to hear he is finally realizing the error of his previous decision, but this should not be an epiphany. So many of us that followed the project told him exactly that when he decided to throw out the MMX and start over. I stil

My first thought was about this title was how the mall near where I grew up had a centerpiece water clock that chimed and ran a special cycle every 15 minutes or so. Unfortunately they removed it when they renovated a number of years ago.

The company I work for has a service that sends phishing test emails to everyone that you are supposed to report. I take great joy in reporting every legitimate email that is at all sketchy just for the inevitable email back from the securi

If you look into other Android E-ink devices they all run Android 11. I can't find where I saw it now, but I looked into it when I bought a Onyx Boox device and it apparently had something to do with the driver blobs for the screen not

They do pile up though even if you use them. I've never purposely purchased one of these bags, but have acquired way too many of them just from getting deliveries or picking up things I order in advance. I've disposed of so many o

I've been telling people this for awhile, the biggest issue I have with the available VR headsets is the limited FoV. It causes unneccesary neck strain having to move your head as much as you do to look at things.

I think you are greatly over-estimating how many people would be willing to pay the cost of a North American made toaster. This would require an absolute ton of capital to do it on anything above a craft scale. The challenges of design, tes

Capitalism assumes a company will always be growing. If you are stagnant or shrinking your company is "failing". If your company is growing, you either need to hire more people to produce more product (lest your competitor jump in

I like the comparison of content over process. In my experience a small team full of highly skilled engineers that are motivated to get stuff done don't need much process because they will do the right thing. But once the team gets to

I struggled with the cheaply built printer that requires a lot of upkeep the first time like many (Tevo Tarantula in my case), and in the end I realized that between the upgrades to just make it work safely, and the time wasted just fiddlin

The idea of having to put anything on your bed and fiddling with adjustment knobs seems so wrong when there are plenty of printers out there that are good enough now where I can send a print to them and maybe check on them in 10 minutes to

>I wondered why many of those cost 3 to 4 times the electronic parts: This is the markup you need if you don't want to sell at a loss. Only in an indirect way. They cost 3-4 times the electronic parts because that is what customers

The statement of a storage device is part of a larger claim that decribes a different embodiment of the invention that they also want to protect. If it was an independent claim it would almost certainly be invalid, but as part of a specific

I just upgraded my networking and wifi and had the intention of going with unifi equipment rather than the consumer grade stuff. I was shocked to see that they don't have 2.5GbE or Wifi 6E options for their equipment.

Vertical tabs aren't a good reason to stick with Edge. Vivaldi is better and supports vertical tabs, but is still Chromium. If you want a Firefox based browser with vertical tabs there is Floorp. I tried to switch to switch to Floorp a

This is exactly the answer. Especially with Li-Ion cells everything is a compromise. You can extend the life of the cell by a fair amount, but then it won't last as long before you have to re-charge. Similarly, if you charge it quicker

Teflon heated above around 300C releases toxic gases as it breaks down. That is what this article is referring to.

Polishing likely isn't required, but there are cast iron pans out there with a milled surface that seem to be a good compromise. That said, food sticking is mostly due to proteins bonding to the surface, so I'm not sure how import

This adds to the confusion since Project Management Professional is a certification for a Project Manager that specifically uses that acronym and not all project managers have the certification.

Last time I saw one of these types of articles on here it quickly became apparent that a lot of companies don't know the difference and call their project managers by the wrong name.

I just about got one of those about a year ago until I ran into a ton of complaints about the door latches breaking and them refusing to provide replacement parts to fix them.

I have another version of the same model (NNSC669S) and while I think it was one of the best options available today, I hate it compared to the old Sharp microwave (with a MFR date of 1994!) I had before. I just hate interacting with it, th

But there are plenty of applications where you only only need a few seconds (e.g. softening butter). I've seen a good application of this with a Panasonic microwave where it has a knob that starts by adding single seconds, and progress

This just means I can do real work with my camera off while half listening to the status meeting instead of sitting in a meeting bored while someone blathers on too long.

I don't see this as a high risk. Rather adding log just increases the choices for different types of filmmaking and adding it to the professional workflow. The iPhone hasn't killed the professional stills camera market, instead ma

Agreed, this is all just the basics on how an injection molding project goes. There is tons more involved in learning how to work specifically with Chinese manufacturers so you get the product that you require. Things like how building a re
