    Your EDIT. The first thing it suggested is actually very similar to ensembles in meteorology. I actually find myself doing that often if it's something extremely important. Just fe…

    Business account though. Everyone else is just a waste of time to provide support to. I'm a regular consumer who bought a Dell Precision laptop (which still kicks ass btw, to their…

    I can also attest to horrific lagspikes on an Optimus laptop even if Intel is driving the desktop. Memory pressure is definitely the problem here. Lagspikes actually lessened when …

    Meanwhile my home ISP (Charter) will gladly give me a /60 if I set my router to ask for one.

    BSP is a technique for optimizing visibility calculations on convex level geometry. You're still making a 3D model and that's exactly what's stored as part of a .bsp file. So the p…

    More accurately a giant lightbulb, but emitting at 102.7 MHz (my favorite local radio station) rather than ~450 THz (my favorite color). Put visible light over a really long wavegu…

    You can kinda do that with Pixels and Sony Xperias only, because last I recall, they implement Android Verified Boot correctly (or non-draconianly), specifically avb_custom_key. Fr…

    I don't usually suspect AI unless I see in a closing paragraph "However, it is important to note..."

    I think I see an underlying point though. What other Internet protocol or service requires the user client to supply endless additional arbitrary metadata to even gain access to a …

    At that point, nonacquiescence is the only remedy, for the FAA to simply ignore the ruling. The executive branch also has more guns than the judicial branch. I would love to think …

    Personal anecdote: that actually saved an important doctor appointment. "URGENT MESSAGE WHEN FLASHING". Well, lights were flashing, guess we could tune to it and hear what it has t…

    I THINK it is FM, narrow FM. My SDR receives some attenuated incomplete-sounding signal when switched to AM on 162.55 MHz even if I widen the bandwidth, and switching to narrow FM …

    Makes me think that TikTok and YT pranksters are accidentally producing psychological data on what makes people tick under scenarios of extreme deliberate annoyance. Although the q…

    As another layperson, I understand it as the physics equivalent of solving for x, but far less trivial. We figure it must exist because it's a missing puzzle piece in the mathemati…

    That's the case for cable Internet, which I wager is a large plurality of Internet connections in the US. At least Charter for the past few years has been rolling out equipment alo…

    Would be interesting to see how minimal they could make the overhead, since that's one of their goals. I wonder what the lower limit might be. That would have broad implications fo…

    Funny enough, a KVM might be needed for KVM if you give the VM control of a USB hub and a discrete GPU using IOMMU and you only have one monitor and set of peripherals, but two hub…

    I kinda wish the address bar in any browser had an "advanced" popout menu that's basically a curl frontend with all of its bells and whistles. Basically move that functionality fro…

    I can vouch for this. In my experience, both the printer and original ink have lasted 7 years (and counting) with very infrequent prints. Just a few head cleanings from the mainten…
