I appreciate the Good Place reference in the name.

depesz has a great tool that highlights the changes. Even going from latest 9.6 to latest 12 gives a huge number of fixes and changes and features. Can't recommend this tool enough…

It's 2019, for pete's sake and other empty management-type neologisms!

Hypothetically, When you buy an iPhone, do you expect to also get the latest model when it is released? That being said, Apple also releases iOS updates to previous phones, even af…

Presently? None of which I'm aware. I'm very much hoping that we could resolve the issue with SMSBackup+ for the time being, but that's mostly up to the project owner. I did hear o…

I see this as a double-edged sword. 1. It makes sense that Google wants to stop apps from abusing their storage platform. There are a lot of projects that abuse the data storage ca…

Current SMSBackup+ user here. I agree with your sentiment, but part of the key difference for me is that SMSBackup+ is open source. I've been building the app myself and using it f…

My 'blanket statement' specifically says 'a structure like this', meaning an old structure. But sure, go ahead and retroactively correct yourself.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The facts stand, as have been reiterated in the thread above: - Firefighting airplanes can effectively spray in a way that doesn't harm tr…

Water has a mass of ~8.3 lbs per gallon. A DC-10 Air Tanker carries 12,000 US gallons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-10_Air_Tanker All said, that's 45.4 metric tons. Go ahead, st…

Water is heavy. If you drop water on a structure like this, you end up having a collapsed building that is also on fire.

Given the leaps and bounds of development in this area recently, I wouldn't call HackRF a go-to device anymore (compared to the more recent devices) but yes- any of them totally wo…

>I sent him a link to Mouser, a catalog where you can buy a 0.006 x 0.003 inch coupler. Turns out that’s the exact coupler in all the images in the story. I did a super quick searc…

With my small touchpad on my laptop, I was unable to even get past the first entry. Closed the tab instantly after that. I'm sure the info was enlightening, but totally unreadable …

Honestly, I don't see this happening. Many packages use rolling versions from git commits, so while the PKGBUILDs don't get updated, any time a user re-runs makepkg on that PKGBUIL…

I have no idea on the implementation, but it seems that they resolved it with 'CPU loading' optimizations: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDet...

The new BIOS updates addressed the whine issues I had. Might have been worth checking out before just taking it back :) EDIT : To be clear, my issues were resolved after an update …

Not sure if you've checked out Sigrok, but it does work well for screenshots.

Agree, a Rigol 1054z is easy to come by inexpensively, and it can be software modded to unlock some extra features. The scope also works great on Linux with Sigrok.

Assuming that they have the info on the accounts to make that number estimate, are they going to contact those who were affected? I mean to say, if- for example- my mom was one of …

Or, it's more likely that they only pay workers a few dollars a day to crank this stuff out.

I think what's so attractive about the RTL-SDR devices is that they're so cheap and have such a huge variety of applications. With a $10 dongle, you can go from tracking airplanes,…

My previous job was in K-12 tech, and I still keep in contact with my old boss. When I started at that position, the school district (~5k students) was nearly 100% Apple. Nearly ev…

I mean, you still have issues like wildlife on the roadway. It's impossible to fully remove the issue. Vehicles still need to react to and reduce accidents, but they will absolutel…
