I think this study is quite good but it does come with one important caveat: From page 5, "This is before the introduction of Apple's new opt-in mechanism for tracking in 2021. Our dataset therefore reflects privacy in the app ec

That's an interesting corner case. Even if turnabout is fair play I wonder if it's even a good idea. If you have two devices, and you delete your Apple ID from one of them, do you brick the second device? I think there are drag

Hopefully you mistyped and meant "they guarantee a minimum throughput of 400Mbit at peak times." Otherwise 0Mbit is consistent with the terms of the contract, which is probably exactly what the ISP was going for.

You're not imagining it at all. This is an important consideration all electrical engineers should take seriously when designing products for people. It's a shame many don't. https://product.tdk.com/en/t

From the article we know they are not checksumming all hardware agains the original device as they were able to change some assemblies. Really what this means is the sensor assembly moved into the screen assembly [1] and the youtuber didn

Simpler in concept maybe. In practice, I am not so sure. Just one example: In SV we voted for a tax increase in 2000 for a Bart Extension to San Jose. If we're (really) lucky, we might get it in 2030 after spending ~$10B. The total

I agree with you in principle but I think writing this regulation, in a way that actually solves the problem and is not trivial to work-around, is much harder than you think. Here's an example: The other day I was using a lidar sensor

Doesn't quite work like that. If the die needs to interact with the world, it needs a pad ring. That's a lot larger. It will basically be like this die when students placed a small MIPS core. http://pages.hmc.edu&#x2

To be fair it was from a self reported survey and they were asked if they ever used FB. If it were me I would probably answer no, even though that is not strictly true. I did use it once in 2010, but I didn't inhale. :)

Why is it a trap? If someone wants to work twice as much for twice the pay, more power to them. And I am very sure there are people at my work who make more than me, regardless of how many hours I put in.
