GDPR Article 17 expressly requires the removal _of your personal data_ from the internet _upon your request_, which is very different from a US state trying to remove a website hos…

Really? Where I live a patient is always able to refuse any medical procedure or treatment, unless they’re unconscious or otherwise mentally unable and the procedure is considered …

I have a Polestar 2, 2022 model even so it's not fresh off the lot. CarPlay navigation shows on the instrument cluster. The speed, state of charge, etc all move to the side so the …

A lack of wear components. A permanent magnet motor uses permanent magnets on the rotor, but an electrically excited synchronous motor has an electromagnet on the rotor. This requi…

Structural colour works by destructive interference of reflected light. It requires the light to be scattered for this effect, so light travelling through at 90° won't be affected.…

Higher quality video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdoLjsp5hkM , you can see the landing gear just after 8 seconds for one frame.

The notification contents are sent over secure channels but are not end-to-end encrypted. You can add additional data to the payload and have a helper app decrypt on the device whe…

When it was developed it was assumed that the cost of cellular equipment and, in some countries, the regulatory hurdles required to get authorisation to purchase radio transmitters…

That’s not how it works. Not on iOS anyway. For a standard notification the content of that notification is sent through the push notification servers. This includes the title, tex…

With medicine both can be true, the response depends on so many factors in your body. Same way that for some people, particularly those with ADHD, taking stimulants can make them s…

It’ll depend on how well grounded you are compared to how well grounded the laptop is, where it’s touching your body, and your sensitivity to electricity which varies.

They can’t, it’s caused by the capacitors required to suppress electromagnetic interference caused by the switch-mode power supply. These allow a very very tiny amount of current t…

Interesting, those are problems I don't have, I guess due to my work and workflow. Command-` works for window switching as I expect, probably simply due to being used to it so I kn…

What do you find missing from macOS keyboard navigation? I've been using macs since the 90s so I'm quite used to it, so I'd love to know what I've been missing out on.

often we're told to add Google XSS-as-a-serv.. I mean Tag Manager, then the non-tech people in Marketing go ham without a care in the world beyond their metrics. Can't blame them, …

1.1ng is a very small amount, but the effect is really not that well understood. It’s definitely something we should minimise. However it’s not a dangerous dose, it’s just the dose…

It's hard to define what 'safe' is. The research is kind of hazy. Bisphenol-A has been shown to be a very very weak estrogen when measuring receptor binding affinity (about 37,000 …

If I recall my lectures, which were 20odd years ago now. CISC ISAs were historically designed for humans writing assembly so they have single instructions with complex behaviour an…

The main distinction now is RISC-descended designs use a load-modify-store instruction set with all ALU functions being register-register, and consequently have a lot more (visible…

A bit more reading shows there's a three instruction general case version for 32-bit additions on the 64-bit RISC-V ISA. I'm not familiar with RISC-V assembly and they didn't provi…

Because the other commenter wasn’t posting the actual answer, I went to find the documentation about checking for integer overflow and it’s right here https://docs.riscv.org/refere…
