Relativistic effects are observed with many other 6th and 7th period elements. For example, the yellow colour of gold and caesium comes from altered electron energy levels due to r…

It seems like they are doing a port based block similar to how residential lines often have their SMTP ports shut off. That said in this day and age, servers on the public network …

A lot of earlier digital timepieces come with arbitrary date range limits and I have always wondered what is the reason behind such limitations. For example, a lot of camera date b…

This paper you linked does not even involve aspartame. The only sweetener they experimented with is saccharin. You can check out the main figures from the link below: https://www.r…

Scenario C is more likely the culprit. I have seen multiple examples of prebuilt PCs and laptops defaulting to software RAID mode for reasons unknown, and they did not always have …

IMO this is still a passive type of security through obfuscation. Active defence would be more like returning zip bombs to known intruders in order to crash the process.

> everyone I knew either donated theirs and/or moved CRTs into smaller rooms when they replaced a working one. That might have happened for a while but by 2008-ish CRTs were being …

Yes, I am aware of those arguments and I am inclined to agree with you. Compared to cultural artifacts which are mostly neutral in terms of externalities, relics of the industrial …

The other parties you mentioned would probably have less motivation to preserve it, let alone restore it to a fully functional state. I find it rather bizarre that many posters her…

> I love gaming, and I destress by playing games, but it's not worth the now much higher opportunity cost to play the newer (usually worse) stuff. This appears to be the reason wit…

There is a system wide setting that changes all non-Unicode text encoding to another code page e.g CP932 for Shift-JIS. Third party tools are available to do the same conversion on…

Not surprising because only the edges of the back glass are glued for iPhone 15 so most of the surface is just floating there without support. On prior generations the entire panel…

Hi, OP here. I did not respond since another poster had beaten me to it but here we go. The reply above yours is mostly correct though I have to admit that “data center IP” could b…

I had to read the article twice to be sure that it was a utilitarian move (however questionable it might be) rather than a grand ideological stand that the article seems to spend m…

Cyber- is pretty much a code prefix for anything targeted at the public sector. I too see it as a kind of dirty word TBH.

> P67 chipset was trivially electrically compatible with LGA1156 CPUs Well it’s possible to shoehorn in support for the determined but iGPU support is definitely out of reach and I…

Intel actually intended for LGA1151 to remain unchanged for Coffee Lake but found out late in the testing process that many existing motherboards did not have enough power delivery…

I am not too worried about anything pre-2000 as emulation has got really good over the last few years, just in time as the surviving legacy hardware became prohibitively expensive …

Bruce Schneier wrote a similar post back in 2016, and he was ridiculed pretty badly by everybody. Interesting to see how the opinion has shifted to the other extreme in less than 1…

Support for PCI-E bifurcation on consumer motherboards was really good for a while when PCI-E 4.0 first came out, however it has since regressed again. Not many motherboards in the…

There is no need to make every port fully featured. Even MacBooks doesn't have that for the kind of price they demand

It might be worth pointing out that reviewers are only on board to offer their opinion with the material given at face value. After all they are probably not in a position to exper…

Nikon started off as a defense contractor making rifle scopes and artillery sights for the military. Camera lens was a side business that took over after the war. While no longer o…
