    My friend has the opposite problem. The ISP's map claims to offer fiber service on his whole block, and if you type in your address they'll even offer service at that specific addr…

    I've actually bought/planned to buy a few things that I was introduced to via YouTube sponsorships, but it's never been any of the generic YouTube sponsor merchandise. It's always …

    It's no longer functional, but in the past if you appended the parameter t=wadsworth to a YouTube URL it would skip the first 30% of a video.

    Yeah, I hear people repeat that a lot, but it doesn't entirely align with my experience. A lot of the grocery stores I shop at (mostly Kroger and other national chains,) have a coo…

    A bunch of stuff you will absolutely not care about. Unreleased music, rough cuts, behind the scenes footage, promo materials, etc. . . Nothing about the content itself that would …

    IIRC, Emby has also had some GPL compliance issues. Jellyfin is a fork with of Emby with all the crap removed.

    They're storing information about the app's current state, as well as tracking/analytic info. If you don't care about linking to an identical view and just want to link to a specif…

    Rokid and Xreal have products that are more up your alley.

    Don't forget about birth defects. I went to school with a kid that was born without pinkies, but otherwise completely normal looking hands. You could still tell something was off w…

    Look under the heatsink. You're probably going to find 6x 2GB chips in parallel. The individual chips have a power of 2 capacity.

    Now that you bring it up, I can't recall ever (knowingly) using a piece of Korean software that wasn't a game or baked into a phone's firmware. Does seem kind of odd considering ho…

    My family had one about the same size as well, and it was setup in the basement. When my parents sold the house the contract stated that the TV in the basement would not be removed…

    I honestly can't remember if it showed up in the strobe or not, this was a few years ago. This procedure wouldn't be listed in the regular manual. It involves opening it up to adju…

    A single 18650 can do much more than 30W. My Emisar D4v2 can pull ~17A from a single 18650 on turbo mode, and it's not much bigger than the battery itself. I carry it on my belt ev…

    My MK2 was off by about 3% when the pitch adjust was in the detent. To be fair, it had a rough life before it ended up in my hands. If you have a frequency counter they're pretty e…

    IIRC they used a variation of this a second time on a newer model of iPod. They found a way to trigger the click speaker, wrote a program to dump the ROM via the clicker Morse code…
