I buy a lot of Keysight equipment for work. Most of the options and upgrades are one time purchases. Sometimes the option requires an actual hardware change, other times it just unlocks the full capability of that some subsystem. There&#x27

Before AI video was good enough, I'd always see collaboration videos where some nurse or doctor would be smiling and pointing to a video talking about some snake oil cure. While many were just a random person wearing scrubs, some were

While true, it's important to remember that not all ham radios that can transmit on GMRS bands are legal to do so. GMRS and FRS don't have the same "anything goes" allowances that ham operators have. Radios for these ban

Unless you're inside a place with special flight rules (like the Washington DC area), you can just fly your plane whenever you want and don't have to file a flight plan or tell anyone. Small airports often don't have ATC so a

I have a bug catcher that kind of looks like a Dyson bladeless fan but runs in reverse. Inside the ring, there's UV (?) LEDs to attract bugs. Once they fly in, the fan sucks them down into the base where there's a sticky paper. Th

With that example, why not just remove the battery entirely? As for a UPS, I have a Synology NAS that can monitor an APC UPS over its serial USB port. When the UPS loses power or is told to gracefully shutdown, the NAS also gracefully shuts

Why is there so much added pixelation in photos where part of the bezel is shown? Is the author trying to hide fingerprints?

It's basically a small Army base adjacent to most of the beach so that's why you can't park there. There's some public parking at the public access area at the south end. If you owned a house that was up against a privat

Sure but that doesn't apply to the whole machine. What HP is proposing is SMART data for much more than just the storage device. The only thing that would make this better is if the data can be stored in NV flash on the motherboard rat

Mesh networks are somewhat inefficient but there are some ways to make it better. Nodes would hold onto a short routing table of their neighbors. Depending on the activity of the network, you need to limit the number of hops a message is al

We already built LOX tanks into rockets. Just send up a tank of LN2. It doesn't need the strength of a bottle, you just need thermally insulating materials which can be very light.

Just hand them out as gifts to friends and family. Stick vacs for Christmas. Maybe keep a spare handy when the first one eventually breaks.

This is likely just something that corporate users would care about. Companies often lease PCs from IT service providers rather than own and maintain their own hardware. The owner of the hardware now has a metric they can point to for how &

CC gives me 30 days to pay it back interest free. BNPL gives me 2, 3, 6, or more months with very little or even no interest. If I know I'm not going to be able to pay it off in a month, I'd rather do a BNPL loan since it's s

Subprime borrowers use BNPL a lot and often don't pay it all back. Extending the terms would likely mean Klarna and Affirm will make back less money before the loan defaults.

On Android, I always enjoy how the dial pad in the phone app will let you start typing in numbers and it tries to match into a name or number. My favorite one, 666, brings up "Mom" as the first result.

My grandfather had a skillcraft stick pen (the cheapest one they make) from his last job before retiring. I'm pretty sure that same pen sat in a cup in his kitchen for like 30 years and was used daily. Never ran out.

It could just be that using Ethernet allows for more flexibility in what is connected to that board-to-board connector. In this instance, it's a wifi router but a customer may instead want a bare port to connect to their existing infra

I'm not that familiar with Starlink but it looks like the normal process is to use an app that can read off error and diagnostic codes from the terminal. If you are bypassing the built-in router and just using the terminal as a modem c

For that driver, it's effectively an OTP although probably not very pseudorandom.

Unless you work with lead or eat off of leads plates all day, the risk of exposure is low. Even lead pipes are not as scary once they have been mineralized. Same with asbestos, it's the workers that handle it that are at the most risk.

It all depends on the environment. If windows is already running on every PC in the building, it may make more sense to have these signs run windows too. You can put copies of the security software you're already paying for and allow f

As demand for high speed rail increases, so will the price until it's on some sort of parity with air travel. What will likely happen is that air travel will become comparatively cheaper since it's more of a pain in the ass. Alter
