    Mozilla seems to have forgotten that they survived Chrome by being overtly, explicitly privacy-focused. They've since stopped being that. Even if they are still tacitly privacy-foc…

    A lot of people are so brainwashed by U.S. propaganda they cannot comprehend that American billionaires are independently evil. Add to that the fanboyism where his sycophants can't…

    They can't grasp that miscarriages, which occur for many reasons even in healthy people, have exactly the same emergent medical care needs as abortions. Laws banning abortions usua…

    My main concern is the same as with electronic gear levers/selectors, electric parking brakes, steer by wire, and throttle by wire: What happens when the car has a failure that kil…

    Also worth noting that such sites technically are piracy. I am not making any moral or ethical assertions about it, but people need to know that so they can make an informed decisi…

    The real cost will play out over years after Trump's term. When funding cuts like this hit, researchers and programs decide to find homes elsewhere with better funding. Cuts like t…

    With the added complication that the controller should be kept cool, but the flash should run warm. The NVMe drives in my servers have these little aluminium cases on them as part …

    IME heat is a significant factor with spindle drives. People will buy enterprise-class drives, then stick them in enclosures and computer cases that don't flow much air over it, le…

    The thing I find most worrisome is that Musk, as part of SpaceX, was denied security clearance because of his extensive foreign ties. Now he has effectively-unsupervised access to …

    The first guitar has one of the strings end at the sound hole, and six tuning knobs for five strings. The second has similar problems: it has tuning knobs with missing winding post…
