Can he also tell Google to NOT show both "names" for Gulf of Mexico in his country? This could spark a wave of international boycott of Trump's petty bullshit. Yes, it's a minor thing but could hurt Trump's ego more than the whole economy thing.

Where did you hear he is controversial now? He's always been open to working with both parties and complaining about NYC. The only recent things that come to mind are that he's been mentioning his support for the 2nd amendment, and the custom FUTO license.

Already exists.

Laser

"Hello, I have a bit of a problem with the printer I got from you... It's that model that can print CD labels as well as laser tattoos. Specifically, I'd like to know what to do when a medium gets stuck. And yes, I know it's all written in the manual."

Man, I should really take the time and translate all of them. They're basically budget XKCD.

If he only took a glance at the very straightforward privacy settings...

Lead acid is LITERALLY the oldest known rechargeable battery type so I am not surprised you can make them with ancient tools if you're also OK with 19th century "safety standards".

Do you know that LiFePO4 cells are the same price (in Europe), longer-lasting, lighter and safer than traction lead-acid ones? They pretty much have no disadvantages to lead-acid, and the need of a BMS (and heater if needing to charge below freezing or run below -4 °F/-20 °C) is no problem since those are a fraction of the cells' price. The only reason I see behind this move would be acute lithium shortage in China.

This is a list of paragraph titles from the original magazine article, which offers some nuance.

Update: New definition for the Linux trademark and related terms!

As Linux is enjoying wider adoption among less technically inclined individuals, we are making changes to what we call the project and key components to make referring to them more straightforward and avoid gatekeeping.

Major changes:

Please make sure to update corresponding API calls and documentation when upgrading to kernel 7.x. You will be able to use deprecated terms during support periods on kernel versions 6.x.

How did voicemail (or voice message) make it above skywriting?

The bottom right one should be tor-rent, not torr-ent. It's a peer-to-peer media rental service running over the illicit TOR network. TOR is yet another project the notorious criminal hacker Linuxos Torvaldos made and named after himself.

People always told Linuxos to keep his legal name and his illegal software separate but he wouldn't listen. He got caught in a San Francisco public library reading with his wife Stella Richman. What a git.

LiFePO4 is still superior to traction lead-acid in pretty much every way: energy density, safety, time and cycle life, internal resistance... Yes, they need a BMS but those are very cheap and lots of batteries have them built-in. In fact, I was unable to find 4-cell packs without a BMS inside so I could put two of them in series and balance the 8S cells with each other using an active BMS of my choice, and ended up ordering individual cells and screwing them together.

You wouldn't need nearly as much support if they made a decent job in the first place.

Picture translators add text boxes in another language on top of recognized text. They don't contain such artifacts and can be rendered at any resolution. These artifacts will only appear if output from a picture translator is processed further.

It's most likely upscaled. The pictures have the same artifacts.

The pictures have the same kind of artifacts though. This is AI upscaled at the very least.

For any harmonic, you first need to get a sound source of that frequency such as a tuning fork or speaker. It's best to place the source where you expect an antinode to be. You can try to just pluck the string at that point but that will probably also produce a lots of harmonics you don't want.

For the kth harmonic, there are k antinodes at (2i-1)/(2k) of the string length, where i≤k; i∈ℕ.

Fundamental (A1):

• ½ the string length (fret 12)

2nd harmonic (1 octave up, A2):

• ¾ the string length (fret 4.98)
• ¼ the string length

3rd harmonic (perfect fifth from A2 or approx. E3):

• ⅚ the string length (fret 3.15)
• ½ the string length (fret 12)
• ⅙ the string length

4th harmonic (2 octaves up, A3):

• ⅞ the string length (fret 2.32)
• ⅝ the string length (fret 8.14)
• ⅜ the string length
• ⅛ the string length

8th harmonic (4 octaves up, A4):

• 15/16 the string length (fret 1.12)
• 13/16 the string length (fret 3.59)
• 11/16 the string length (fret 6.49)
• 9/16 the string length (fret 9.96)
• 7/16 the string length
• 5/16 the string length
• 3/16 the string length
• 1/16 the string length

Using fractional frets is cumbersome because they are non-linear. You're probably better off with a tape measure or ruler.

the 12th fret is 1 octave up

Yup. 12 semitones is 1 octave so A2 on the bass guitar's A string. The frequency ratio to A1 is 2:1.

5th is 2 octaves

What? No. That's 5 semitones or 500 cents from A1, which is D2, close to a perfect fourth from A1 (frequency ratio 4:3 or 498 cents).

Two octaves would be 24 semitones or 24 frets (not available on most fretted instruments) for a frequency ratio of 4:1, or A3.

just past the second fret is 3 octaves

No! The 2nd fret is 2 semitones or 200 cents above A1, which is B1, close to a major second from A1 (frequency ratio 9:8 or 196 cents).

3 octaves would be 36 semitones or 3600 cents for a frequency ratio of 8:1, or A4.
