Aren’t vendors moving to a browser-based control model, where the hardware runs on a local web server that exposes various settings? It sounds terrible for security.

TFW does say there is an opportunity for reduced noise. However, conventional turboprops are very loud compared to their jet counterparts. Each revolution of a prop blade sends out a shockwave of air against the airframe. The strength of th

Just an opportunity to sell premium quiet seats at the back, and pleb seats at the front. With all seriousness, I am thinking whether there are parallels between this proposed plane and the Q400.

I meant other plane models that could be rebuilt for the same purpose.

While the panels and inverters will wear out over the course of a couple of decades, the wiring will not. This is a similar bootstrap-type of situation when urban and rural electrification first took place. Arguments were (likely) made that

Science has shifted, depending on the discipline, from a colonial universalism perspective to one that accepts that “the truth” varies and can be a local phenomenon. I have a hard time buying into a prescriptive tea-making procedure. For ex

There’s a voice mode station that mixes time signals and voice messages together during broadcast. This station also includes GPS errata from time to time, which in my head canon, are received by solo sailors crossing the Atlantic. I though

I live just beyond the fringe zone for reception of WWVB on my Casio Waveceptor. Depending on solar conditions, and how I leave the watch overnight (south-east facing window with space to a metal window frame for a coupling effect), I can g

Does the Cricut operate as an IoT device, or does it interface directly with a PC? My understanding is that Wine doesn’t do any drivers or interface with any hardware.

It will quickly distill down to clients using the service just for sex and sex-adjacent activities. No kink-shaming, but this sort of thing enables self-destructive hard-to-return-from anti-social behaviour.

One of the referenced articles is a wilder read, just even from the title: “Decapitation in Rats: Latency to Unconsciousness and the ‘Wave of Death’” (1). This research is more than deserving of the Ig Nobel. (1) https://pmc.ncbi
