I wasn't aware of this game until AFTER I saw the movie. Made a lot more sense after that. Watching a guy solve the same puzzle over and over felt like an odd narrative choice. A l…

If you just want to clone a typical garage door remote, you're way better off buying a generic $5 fob. Almost all the 433MHz garage fobs I've seen are designed to easily clone each…

Since you cannot imagine how they'd perform, isn't this the perfect opportunity to test your assumption?

Who said that?

What do you mean by proportion? They are different data sources, and their usage is determined by system design. eg A driving decision system needs to know object distances AND tra…

> To the extent that "ban cars" even exists as a real political archetype rather than a meme, this is just patently not true. At least one of the two co-hosts of The War on Cars (a…

Sure they may become mercenaries. Maybe "Hyundai factory worker" is akin to "remote oil rig worker". Or they could just be regular people with regular, stable jobs because they hav…

But China banning foreign apps also plays into their stranglehold on their domestic media and economy, so it's not a purely adversarial move against the US. Or to put it another wa…

So basically a stream deck. Those things are pretty tempting, I must admit. When similar functions are shrunk down and integrated into regular keyboards, my wallet will be in troub…

So, paying for a night shift will increase the cost to customers, but higher salaries negotiated by on-call employees won't? Or did you leave out the part where those employees dis…

But, but, if the employer doesn't steal wages from employees, where will they get the money to pay them higher salaries?

I recently had a slack message on my Friday evening from my delayed-timezone manager starting his Friday. There was no expectation to answer out of hours, but it was some small det…

I had one of these and quite liked it. Then one day I plugged my phone in before bed as a million times before and the cable display popped and started emitting smoke.

I've been getting this a lot. Especially with Rust, where it will use functions that don't exist. It's maddening

What’s the story there?

Or the free Spacedesk, does the same.

> It really isn't a trick question. If your needs are 100% satisfied through wireless, why would you ever care? THIS is a trick question.

Doesn't Android allow sandboxed MDMs to be added to the phone? I've seen this when using Island, which basically creates a fake work profile on the phone which is completely separa…

I've used this to get to a browser that almost does full screen videos in a borrowed Tesla, from the YouTube app. Then navigated to some dodgy adware infested streaming site and it…

iOS happily kills backswipes with inconsistent alternatives. eg View details in Photos, and swiping back doesn't work. But there are also no back buttons or visual cues. But there …

Even native iOS apps have some terribly inconsistent back behaviour, particularly when handling overriding swipe functions. Eg Photos seems to change Back on almost every view. Swi…

And in Australia they dominate the list of highest paid professions, so I immediately wonder how many other wealthy countries were skipped before settling on Cuba as a comparison.

Cancer survival rates are gameable anyway. They depend highly on early screening. As a statistic I mean. You can have pretty solid 5 year stats without treatment, if it takes 10 ye…

Funny that you'd call out the subjectivity of some measures, then bring immediately introduce another, breast cancer survival, that has also been called misleading, and only an ind…
