Most credit cards in the UK at least (same cap) have no standard account fee. Those that do come with other perks / beyond the 'world elite' etc side Mastercard/visa aren't seeing …

A fork can be many things. I've maintained in house forks of major code bases with a handful of minor code changes while we've tried to convince upstream to accept them.

I'm not saying otherwise - my comment reaffirms this. There are two separate things going on here - - You can buy a reasonable wheelchair for moving people relatively short distanc…

Difference being it doesn't fail and if it does you know exactly how it was made and under which process. There will be an investigation to see what went wrong - was it the screws …

Except the wheelchairs used in hospitals are to push patients short distances across hard flat floors.

You just need to ask Chat GPT then ask Gemini and CoPilot if the answer is right.

We've gone over a month without burning any coal, but then the Ukraine war happened and we were at risks of blackouts. That 1.1% is likely heavily concentrated as a much higher per…

It's not a case of can they be. It's a case of can they cheaply be. The camera app on your smartphone likely searches for them by default. That means feeding at least 1-2 frames a …

Even just crashing the device has significant impact. A bank robber, terrorist or totalitarian state could benefit significantly from bringing down all cell phones in the area for …

We're talking something the size of a cell phone that can be powered for days on a battery. Hide it near the cell tower and leave. It takes specialist equipment to locate it so by …

The only thing I can think of is if it was widespread it would be a security risk. Not exactly difficult to broadcast a stronger signal with the wrong time. Similar problem with GP…

"We recommended you went for X and listed SMS security problems as the reasons - here is the email chain" You need to cover your ass, but you don't want to actively push back and r…

There are a huge number of app based solutions. Enterprises are against them because they can't expect their employees to install 20 different apps for 20 different vendors + the c…

Yes, which is what I said. But now you have a released lock and a client that thinks they have the lock.

As the other guy says the lock is released by the server. If you don't have a mechanism to release it after a timeout, what happens if a node fails?

The customer upset staff so they were cut off to protect staff welfare is a valid business reason.

Or even the older setups where you had a relatively small battery in the device and a bigger wedge shaped battery that could clip on the bottom. Or there were a couple of devices w…

Not at all. You get web apps, services for providing them etc. As far as I'm aware ICANN/Google (owners) put no restrictions on use case. There is a restriction requiring TLS.

I'd view it more similarly to the whole Reddit fiasco. There is a valid problem. The business has tried to solve that immediate problem without worrying about the knock on. In this…

From my comment. > HTTP/2 reduces the problem with multiplexing but it still doesn't go away Even multiplexed you hit initial TCP window limits + all the response header overhead. …

Multiplexing isn't a golden bullet. You still hit limits. The initial TCP window is usually around 4KB so you have the handshake SYN RT (+ another two for TLS) followed by at most …

You dropped the API calls bit. As it stands your site has to go through a TCP handshake then send the request and get the start of the response - at minimum that's 2 round trips. I…

Size isn't even the worst of it. It's number of requests. You need to go through a TCP handshake for every connection you open. You can reuse the connection but that means queuing …

So release a handful of budget models and support them well instead of 60+ per year.

I'm on a pixel 6A. It cost me under £200 factoring in the trade in deal that let me trade in a 10 year old phone (if you don't have one eBay one for £5). And there are plenty of re…
