I can't even do the splits in street clothes. Doing the splits in a space suit: literally a weird flex, but OK.

That reminds me of my boss ~10 years ago who wanted to know how we could add HTML5 to our product. Our 100% locally-installed WinForms/WIN32 product.

That seem counter-productive to me. To me, hearing a car will have "limited" production means it will be harder to maintain in the long run as there will be fewer spare parts and less institutional knowledge at all levels compared to a mass-market vehicle. This makes me less likely to consider...

As someone who has worn hearing aids since 1984, I don't see how this lasts a year on a "hearing aid battery". That usually means zinc air, and those don't have a great shelf life once unsealed and exposed to air. Also, I guarantee less than 10% of people send them back for recycling without a...

Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time" and "Children of Ruin" are also great studies of alien-ness. I didn't much care for the third book in the series, though.

The sad thing is, IMO we have actually hit the point where Linux is a perfectly fine Windows replacement, but the well is kinda poisoned. Linux advocates have been claiming it's just as usable as Windows for decades when that really wasn't true. I've tried Linux on occasion since the early...

As the article notes, it doesn't matter how good your physical security is when the government shows up with a warrant.

2016? No, that can't be right. That feels like it happened no more than two years ago.

I needed to replace a dead TV so I decided to go the commercial display route. It was frustrating just trying to decide what to buy because they don't give you many specs on the commercial models. And reviews are all but non-existent. I got a Samsung LH55BEDHLGFXGO, and it's not great. It wants...

They had dynamic speed limits on I-270 in Saint Louis for a while, and you're absolutely correct. No one pays attention to the posted speed limit. Everyone is just driving at whatever speed they're comfortable with.

St. Louis lost a similar store, Gateway Electorics, several years back. Being able to walk right in and buy a single transistor or resistor was great for hobby electronics. Now I need to spend five times the price of the component in shipping if I order from Digikey or Mouser, which means I wind...

Looks like they went with J1772 and CCS. That's certainly a choice in 2025.

A deluxe? In this economy‽

They exist already. Search for "USB data blocker" / "USB condom" / "USB anti juice jacking"

When they announced they were bringing back Recall, it finally pushed my into installing Linux. Linux Mint is pretty great, y'all. (y)(y)

What? You don't recognize Meekus from Zoolander?!? D: Seriously, though, Alexander Skarsgård is a pretty fantastic actor. He's also very good at dry humor so I think he's a really good fit for the role.

Looks like the right-hand port is AC only, though.

If I'm reading the article correctly, this is about ALLOWING tracking with one click.

TVs have been "good enough" for the vast majority of customers for a long time now. They're a commodity product now. Since they pretty much all look great in stores, the brands are desperately resorting to marketing bullshit to pull in buyers. That should mean it's a great time to buy a TV...

I'm not really sure what "tactical" communication is, but I'm pretty sure I don't want it.
