It seems pretty clear to me that neighborhood level power grids are the way to go here. Large grids, long distance transmission and massive infrastructures are all a waste. Imagine if you could cut up a coal plant into small pieces and di

They are already connected to the IRS. I forgot to add in an Economic Impact Payment when I filed with TurboTax last year. 5 minutes later, the corrected 1040 came back to me. They already know everything, I don't know why they make

AMD also has chipsets that are making their way onto motherboards. Video, PCI, USB, etc. We had a problem with an HID device of ours that would work fine with the ubiquitous Intel USB chipsets for the last 10 years, but didn't work p

Lots of companies laying off though. The numbers lag. And the fed will continue hitting the brakes until it gets what it wants. A recession isn't even called until it is over.

Yes, but each app is approved by Apple before being put on the App store. Direct BLE and NFC control have lots of spoofing "dangers" and privacy issues.

I meant digitally. I assumed they did some kind of 3D MRI type scan. If you do that, you can easily pull off upper AND lower layers. I'm not sure how an x-ray can make paint #1 appear but paint #2 invisible - so I guess I'm miss

Well, in case you were wondering what a communist was, here is a perfect example. As an engineer, I'm not falling for his sad attempt to drive a wedge between tech workers, engineers and management. I have more in common with tech com

Our HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 (2020) stopped printing in January because we had generic ink cartridges installed. It updated itself even though I had firmware updates turned off. Real HP cartridges are about $80 - the cost of a new printer. S

The word Lungy grosses me out. Something visceral. I imagine viewing a human organ or the chest being opened. Sorry, but I thought it might help you. If people agree, say something below. If not, I am an oddity and can be ignored.

The bag snaps closed internally. I had to watch it at 25% speed over and over. The cool thing about slowing it down is you can see its feet wobbling side-to-side at about 10X per second to keep its balance.

All cell networks can contain memories, not just neurons. Plant and animal body shapes (morphology) are determined from memories stored as voltage gradients) inside cells, not from the DNA. Just like neurons are good at allowing the body t

A blood clot creating a small stroke could also do similar damage to specific parts of your brain. I suspect they happen a lot and never get diagnosed. Like your peripheral vision going, it's hard to notice what just is no longer ther
