They've been making that tech for years, every office and school classroom I've been to in the last 10 years has that now. This is just another stupid shot in the dark. Maybe someday someone will actually find a useful purpose. We

There's a bunch of little scripts I've had to write for my workflow. Time is short so I've taken parts and pieces from experiments, treated them as black boxes, and wrote interfaces to make them handle way more than I ever an

If they had the foresight to spend the money on the bigger display, they are probably just fine. It's not Rentina quality but it's good enough for something to use at home for non-work.

I specced my T420 freshman year of college but had a budget from my parents so I skipped out on getting the upgraded LCD panel in exchange for the i7 CPU. That laptop lasted me a couple years until I grabbed a tablet X61 and then a X200 for

No need to relicense and release it again. Space Cadet is part of Full Tilt! Pinball which is hosted online at a certain abandonware website. Until Maxis (or EA) decides to release it again, just download a free copy of it. There are even i

You'd turn the beef into totally unrecognizable meat paste that could come from any number of species. Pulverize the meat, wash it with solvents, and cook until there is nothing left of the original protein structures or flavor (i.e ch

I've got a Canon MX920 series printer. I only use third party cartridges (EZ Ink or something). Carts are cheap and I've got no issue only replacing them one at a time. Sometimes the wireless printing gets a little wonky but this

I'm sure the vast majority of the criticism of the project should have just been directed to the manager. Taking too long on a single part can definitely be directed towards a junior dev but there should be some guidance attached to th

I remember the old way of ripping original Xbox games was to use a modded Xbox that would serve the game disc over FTP. You'd connect to the Xbox and copy the disc contents off of it. You could then burn them to a blank DVD and your mo

Occasionally, I'll use an old piece of test equipment at work that has GPIB. I'll pull up the manual for commands and there will be BASIC code examples. The newest boxes from Keysight (formerly Agilent formerly HP) that run Window

Where I went to college, moonshine is a big thing and is relatively easy to get once you know some locals. I've tried it multiple times and it was always absolutely vile. It would usually come in a reused plastic milk jug. There was no

There's always an overlap of skills. Cobblers may have been tailoring on the side but wouldn't be counted as such. I've been to many dry cleaners that will do alterations or repairs on clothes but also will do some light shoe

If the majority of your sales are intended for businesses that plan to constantly buy new laptops, it makes perfect engineering sense to just solder the ram to reduce costs. You also have to balance MTBF, the costs of rework, and the length

Because they only give you the design if you plan to buy a bunch of chips and pay them for support. It's a way to make money. Additionally, keeping the reference design under NDA reduces the risk of someone building an chip that is dro

Depending on how records were kept, it could have been incredibly easy to falsify the records even with an auditor checking them over. The fraud went back to the 80s so I'm sure many of those records were paper-only and continued to be
