Hooking a new development up to new utilities is not paid for by the municipal government. The developer pays those costs. The utility companies will pay for maintenance using the income they receive from it's customers up to the prope

You'd just set a low point and a high point far enough away from each other that the thermostat wouldn't cycle back and forth between heat and AC. You could also add a timeout so that the heat cannot turn on for at least two hours

I've done it a few times but my favorite hack for Windows is to use a bootdisk to swap the accessibility app with command prompt so you can wipe the local admin password.

I'll buy a new one whenever I'm at Microcenter because they are so cheap. I don't keep any important data on them, they are really just for making boot disks or transferring data between non-networked machines. I've got

I've still got a brand new box of floppies in my desk as we've still got test equipment that has floppy drives. The equipment is still top notch and modifying it to swap in a USB floppy emulator will ruin the calibration so I just

Seems like a quick solution to this problem would be to force any dropouts that didn't already have a rate to send them back to school or to just drop the policy of allowing fresh recruits to attend BUD/S. This seems analogous to

There are both selective laser sintering and selective laser melting that do not require a kiln step and therefore the final size is the final size. Both processes can produce some amazing metal designs that would not otherwise be possible

It's a great way to weed out the junior devs that cheated their way through school (or are too dumb to figure it out via stackoverflow) and the senior devs that haven't actually done any real programming in a long time. An enginee

Legacy doesn't always mean bad. It may have an older architecture or have some constraints that aren't always a problem. I work a few different product designs but they almost all come from a legacy product. It's not a bad le

There's a lot of money in the space industry. You can't just drop a commercial core into an FPGA that's destined for space and not expect any issues. Even if ARM offered a free perpetual license, there would still need to be

You can get really high precision for a resistor at the silicon level but as for a regular resistor, the most you can do is buy the best TCR value you can and laser trim it to the exact spec. You can also buy hermetically sealed that have e

There were some burner flip phones that didn't have 4G up until around 2015, LG making a few of them. This guy was buying used pieces of crap and complaining how they weren't going to support a waste of spectrum.

Government jobs in the US are very hard to get fired from. You have to actually commit a crime, have a history of gross negligence, or just make a big enough mistake during a probationary period to get fired. Appointed positions are probabl

The original sidekick is the earliest pivot phone I can think of. The Samsung Juke came out several years later but I don't think it sold that well because of how tiny it was. I don't expect any pivot phones to sell that well. For

My friend has purchased several pairs from Zenni but the frames kept cracking around the lens even though she only wears them for a couple of hours each day. They'd send her a new frame and it would do the same after a month or two. Sh

They were not around for very long but there was a soda machine that had a conveyor belt that drinks would drop down onto and then be pushed out of a flap door into the bucket. The machine could detect when a drink was actually vended but d

Up to the minute sensor data for something so remote that it needs a satellite uplink is either going to be for something incredibly critical or totally overkill and a waste of money. With Swarm, you could be waiting up to 2 hours between p

Verizon prevented two of my unlocked phones (Nexus 6P and Moto G6 Power) from using WiFi calling, likely because I didn't buy them through them. The phones were perfectly capable of it but it was just some carrier config that prevented

Anecdotally, I've never had a type C connector permanently fail on me. Nearly all of my micro-USB phones have been so damaged they refuse to charge without putting a bunch of stress on the connector in a specific direction. Even other

The price of an SDR is usually much more than a basic WiFi card so that's kind of the justification for why an SDR doesn't require an FCC license since it's for experimental purposes and that you probably have a good reason t

If there is a way to make a backup of a game you own while still preserving whatever DRM exists, it would be legal. Like if you had some device that could dump the contents of the Switch cartridge without cracking any DRM, then your backups
