LaserDisc ran at up to 1800 RPM also in a 30cm form factor
In the Tech Connections video on them, they sound like they're taking off when they spool up.
Memory unlocked that's been a hot minute ago
Didn't apple used to make their own IR remote for that? Is the hardware onboard the Mini preset to use their hardware or is it more generic once Linux is installed?
I didn't even know ETC existed until now, I thought that was a typo
The first few screens look like a combination reverse job board and Coinbase. But your description says "post stuff and create tokens", which doesn't quite seem to line up
Why?
I don't think Web3 contracts have tested case law yet, so who knows if it's enforceable in court, at most it may only be as strong as a gentleman's agreement. And the token part looks like an easy way to create rug pull coins, just on the ETH database instead of an independent database.
I hear it's also bad to get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian - especially when death is on the line.
Who am I to judge if the card has sufficient performance, security, cost, and physical form factor for my needs.
That makes sense
I was thinking it was referring to something like a SAS or BIOS firmware update. Which would be impressive if that also ran BSD
I'd like to politely disagree
Finding alternatives to large software packages is great, don't think I'm not saying that - but any time you have competitor X and competitor Y, be they both commercial, both F/OSS, or some combination thereof, the competitors must be cognizant of each other when setting up features.
Burying your head in the sand and ignoring Microsoft, Apple, and Google is a very solidly Microsoft-Apple-Google-style play. It's the play of someone who believes the other side offers no competition. That's how you get unwieldy features these tech giants implement because they know they can make a 70% effort and people won't be annoyed enough to leave.
Every tool they make has a reason someone made it. Many tools are very important - for one example, the Microsoft Office document format is considered to be almost a universal format in presentations, spreadsheets, and plain documents for message passing between businesses.
But as we as a society design alternatives to those various monopolies (as we should), we need users to want to use the new thing. We have to take what people like and keeps them on their old platform, and best preserve the intent of what they want on the new platform. Doing so requires discussing the features those big tech companies
And as users, when we select the platforms we use, we need to weigh the cost of going with an alternative vs going with a giant. No solution is a perfect solution for everyone, and the chooser needs to weigh the maintenance cost (in hours or money) they will incur, how their users will like/dislike it, and maybe even look at a piece of software and decide "nah the vibes are off".
I'd love a world where those three tech giants had proper competition in all fields, and I think their business practices are scummy and need improvement. But the real alternatives to each need some polish before they're ready to be used by [arbitrary tech illiterate grandmother].
Why would that be illegal? Shouldn't there be some way to plug an older flash drive or console cable into a laptop that doesn't have a type A port? (Ahem, Mac)
A to B made more sense in a world where devices cannot serve as both roles via negotiation. My android phone when I got it utilized a data transfer method of plugging my iPhone charge port into my Android charge port, then the Android initiated the connection as a host device.
The true crime is not that the cable is bidirectional, the true crime is that there is little to no proper distinction and error checking between USB, Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort modes and are simply carried on the same connector. I have no issues with the port supporting tunneled connections - that is in fact how docking stations work - just the minimal labeling we get in modern devices.
I'd be fine with a type-A to type-A cable if both devices had a reasonable chance at operating as both the initiator and target - but that type of behavior starts with USB-OTG and continues in type-C.
Others have some good information here - all I'd like to add to the root is that Windows and Mac have a built-in DNS cache and it's pretty straightforward to add a DNS cache to systemd distros (if it's not already installed or in use) using systemd-resolved or dnsmasq if you really dislike systemd. Some distros enable this from install time.
Systems that utilize a DNS cache will keep copies of DNS query results for a period of time, making the application-level name lookup speed essentially 0ms for a cached result. Cold results obviously incur the latency of the DNS server itself.
HLS is a bidirectional protocol though - the system's total network latency affects how quickly it can change to a new bitrate stream as conditions improve or degrade. And despite the name, it's not just limited to live content. You can use this to deliver fixed-length content
As much as I dislike how Intel works sometimes, this market does not need fewer competitors.
I'd put the deflate algorithm over the LZMA algorithm just because deflate is used by both windows (zip) and Unix (gzip). Windows I don't think has added LZMA/xz support until recently if at all.
If a big MMO closes that'd be rough, but those types of games tend to form communities anyways like Minecraft. You don't have to pay Microsoft a monthly rate to host a Java server for you and a few friends, you just have to have a little bit of IT knowledge and maybe a helper package to get you and your friends going. It's still a single binary, even if it doesn't run on a laptop well for larger settings.
With a big MMO, there will form support groups and turnkey scripts to get stuff working as well as it can be, and forums online for finding existing open community servers by people who have the hardware and knowledge to host a few dozen to a few hundred of their closest friends online.
Life finds a way.
If it's a complicated multi-node package where you need stuff to be split up better as gateway/world/area/instance, the community servers that will form may tend towards larger player groups, since the knowledge and resource to do that is more specific.
Far-UVC has a lot of potential once it's scaled up. Right now, we're still learning about best practices.
Institutions should be adopting this tech at scale.
If we're still learning about best practices why are we talking about deploying this at scale? Self contradictory article.....
It should be the other way around. Figure out if it works academically, then test small scale, then scale up with proven and reproducible results. That's how science works. Best practices can be formulated and adjusted at each stage as more knowledge is gained. That's how we don't make a massive health mistake and give an entire convention center indoor sunburns. Especially for people who might be more sensitive to sunburns.
Figured I was going to see one of those here :P
Is that the 16 version?
Not on a flash based motherboard (so basically almost everything recent). On modern systems usually the only thing the battery powers is the clock, which is why they have a separate reset to defaults header/button/switch.
(The CMOS memory of old is replaced with flash memory, al la SD Card or flash drive)
Yup. My background is computer science transitioned to IT Infra.
My sister sent me a screenshot of a Spotify one-liner error, white text on black background, captioned "they wrote a lazy error". I immediately recognized that the actual problem was the load balancer in the front end trying and failing to connect to the backend/middleware in the first error, then in the second it recognized a failed health check and reporting that no back ends were available. Root cause is probably networking issue or actual server crash.
I also have a bonus that in high school I had watched a ton of videos on VFX/SFX and knew a rough way around After Effects and compositing (before I jumped into CS I had considered this as a career path), so now when I watch TV and movies I can also see some of the "layers" they use to compile the on screen effect.
