    Only downside I've encountered using W10 IoT LTSC is that I had the temporarily change the currentbuild key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion) in registry to 19045…

    I'd change mine so that the portrait and landscape button layout were separately configurable.

    Focal length wouldn't even be an issue if the photographer was taking the photos from the same position. The fish-eye effect is literally because the photographer is closer. Croppi…

    Neat. I usually just use 7zip to open .exe and .msi files.

    A game such as Turing Complete will give the same sort of understanding of the fundamentals of computing, although not a physical learning experience.

    Assuming that they're capable of changing the wing angle of attack, they seem to be doing the same motions that dragonfly wings make during flight, including take-off. Here is a sl…

    IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo has Protonmail. Proton has a mail bridge application which let's you use desktop mail clients.

    You'd be better off with an engine specifically designed to be efficient. Turbines are great at many things, but they are complex and don't scale down very well. They were primaril…

    Seems pretty self-explanatory: > site:youtube.com "00:00 / 16:18" Or you know you could just try to work it out for yourself.

    Whole thing screams scam or April Fools joke. There's one commit to the source code repository. Anyone want to try it on a VM and report back?

    The only thing that I could find was from 2017, where phonearena were apparently re-injecting ads using WebRTC to bypass adblocking. So perhaps you are using an old blocklist such …

    This article makes one assumption without justification and then follows it to a wrong conclusion. When bees sting other insects they can sting them multiple times, like a wasp. If…

    The article says that they're biconcave, which means that the thinnest part of the lens is in the centre (similar to a red blood cell). For high-myopia lenses, they often remove th…

    Inline whitespace summation at the same time as mathematical operations seems like a problem. I don't think that there's a standard order of operation for that sort of thing.

    Would it still be a bicycle if the pedals aren't connected to the drive? This configuration would make it more like a scooter with a pedal generator.

    If you want to store you passwords locally, then at least use something like Keepass or KeepassXC. It's far from a perfect solution as it's still vulnerable to targeted attacks whe…

    I just wish that they'd add a text or symbol in the top of the global and local dynamic filtering boxes. Every single time that I use it I have to look up which one's which, becaus…

    That reminds me of a quote about chlorine trifluoride: "...It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals—steel, copper, aluminum, etc.—because of the formation of a thin…

    Why is no-one commenting that nearly half their expenses are in salaries and wages. They have 354 staff. That's ~130 000 USD per person.

    No, the step that converts the aluminium hydroxide into aluminium metal is an extremely energy intensive step. You won't be saving energy unless you use solar thermal to heat the k…
