PSA: many desktop machines without a TPM still have a header for one. You can plug in a TPM module compatible with your motherboard, which costs about $20 from Amazon.

Poor analogy. Tires are safety-critical equipment with a minimum bar of performance and externally imposed regulations on them that they function at an acceptable level. This makes them a mostly fungible commodity. Search engines are not, a

It’s not the lower/upper deck that is at different heights, it is the station platforms and doors. West coast has track-level platforms so the doors are on the lower deck, east coast has high-level platforms so the doors are above the

Strangely no mention at all of EMUs, DMUs or single self-propelled rail cars. “Every train has a locomotive” is quite US-centric.

Not a myth. The stinging cells work not by mechanical touch but in reaction to chemicals on skin. Pantyhose apparently prevent the contact with skin which would trigger the stinging cells.

I only had to do it for several minutes, long enough to have it boot up successfully and copy off the most important data over wifi. I do remember getting a bit dizzy during the procedure. The laptop was a pretty light PowerBook G4 from 200

I had this happen once but the force that would cause the drive to work seemed to be gyroscopic rather that pressure on the casing. So I had to hold the laptop at an angle and turn myself around on the spot while I copied the data off. If I

You are intentionally endangering others to give yourself the "feeling" of protecting your family. That is selfish and immoral.

Over time it does not. A related concept in finance/trading is “drawdown”. A single trade can have a positive expected value. But over time, if you take a loss you have to get a bigger win to end up back where you started, because you

“current bankroll” is the issue here. 1 * 1.5 * 0.6 = 0.9 < 1.

No idea. Bellevue is pretty suburban. Most people drive, it’s too spread out to walk many places.

The city of Bellevue WA adopted SCATS a few years ago and driving there seems much more pleasant now. I can drive from downtown Bellevue to the Microsoft campus and often face only two red lights (if you know the area: crossing 20th St&#x2F

I have been using Fastmail for close to 20 years and this is the first time I’ve noticed any downtime. It’s one of the few services I’m happy to pay for year after year.

It’s not though. Your bank and/or credit card issuer may be that bad but there are plenty of others that operate faster. I pay my Amex card from Fidelity and the balance updates on the Amex immediately and the money comes out of Fi

Those one wheel things are very dangerous, if the motor cuts out or overloads it pitches the nose forward and slams you into the ground. A 4 wheel electric board is safer, it turns into a regular board if the electrics die or you can just j

Dye would be as incompressible as seawater. I think a dye container on the outside of the sub could literally be a plastic bag and it would survive.

It makes the capitals stand out more and I imagine it could be helpful for visitors who may have trouble remembering long sequences of Latin characters and may pictorially memorize the capital letters instead.

This is very annoying. In Safari, clicking icons in that style of nav bar instead brings up the browser’s back/forward buttons, and requires a 2nd click in a new location now that the nav bar has been offset by the height of the back&#

They might not drink tea much for having dumped all their kettles into the Boston Harbor back in 1773 or something.

I don’t drink much tea at home but I still use it all the time for pasta, eggs, instant noodles etc. literally any cooking that needs boiled water.

You are probably right. I have almost no experience boiling water on a gas stove (except for tiny camp stoves) because I use a kettle for that!

by throwaheyy 3y ago
I do the same, a small amount of water starts heating on the gas stove but I completely fill the kettle. Way faster, and in areas with hydro, better for the environment.

The trick with same color socks is to introduce new pairs to the rotation over time instead of all at once.

I’m Australian, it is mildly surprising. America is the land of convenience, and I’ve found an electric kettle even at 120v is still faster than boiling water on an electric stove, and much faster than boiling on a gas stove.

I don’t think that’s a good analogy. Mercedes and Hondas have tangible differences in performance and amenities. On the other hand, Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. are built to operate to the same standard and work identically on approximately

99% of users don’t care that it’s the same engine. They probably don’t even know. Looks the same, works the same, what does it matter? They just want to pick the browser name they trust, log in to its account and have all their favorites&#x

There’s tactile feedback for that too. You learn how many “clicks” of the knob you need.

How many buttons does your car have that you actually have to look?! Mine has lots and I can find the one I want by feel.
