   Always-on screen, 7 days of battery life, notifications on wrist, optional custom watchfaces and apps, $149. We had it in 2013 and we want it back.

   As long as I can turn it off. Simplicity and battery life is what appeals to me with the Pebble.

   You don't have to answer that question.

   No no no, even absent a pardon, because those charges were dismissed with prejudice . That means they cannot be brought again.

   I strongly disagree that this is in any way defensible, despite that both Google and AWS do it. You should be able to set a limit, and even if they can't cut off exactly at the limit, they should be able to cut off when you hit (say) 2

    Do you have a repo with your demos you'd like to share? I'm a Tek terminal obsessive, although my 17-year search for a real one has so far been fruitless, so it's emulators only for me.

    My theory was that assuming these are some kind of adversary drone, they seem to have read and understood the law and are making some effort to remain within its bounds so that 4th Amendment and other relevant protections apply to them. T

    I did find it odd when this news reporter said of the craft "it's really difficult to show you with our camera, so we have to show you with our phones." You'd think a broadcast-grade camera rig would be better than a sma

    I'm doing it out of historical interest. I was doing it for that reason when I was 12, as well, and I'm the same age as the C64. It does not change the perception of my own age in any way; rather, I have the feeling of operating a

    I've always wondered why the Romanized transliteration of Mandarin doesn't map normally to conventions used in the Latin letter-using world. For whom was it designed, then? This makes no more sense than Sinofying English by using

    First video I got was some happy people (families, by the sound of it) popping off a few rounds at the range with AR-15s. My day has been improved!

    Back in 2021 some guys in China claimed to have been able to upgrade the PoP RAM on a base M1 to 16GB: https://www.macrumors.com/2021/04/06/m1-mac-ram-and-ssd-upgr... I remember when this came out, but more r

    With respect, OLED wearout from 16x365 use is a 'you problem'. The manufacturers will be delighted to sell you a new €1200 monitor every 4-5 years, and I'm sure their shareholders would support the improved revenue stream.

    Back in the late 90s there was some tool that ran an actual Windows 3.1 which displayed in a browser window. I had a demo, and I remember it clearly, but for the life of me I can't tell you what it was or how it worked. I think it wa

    So if we're moving the goalposts from hundreds of successful booster landings and reuses back to a simple technology demonstrator executing a hop in the 1990s, then I propose we go all the way back to propulsively landing a manned caps
