Very much. This text is about fundamentals, not implementations.

No, as far as I can tell, it does not reduce latency for reads. The latency for writes is worse for both the average and worst case conditions as writes have to be sent to two dimms. The purpose is high reliability. I believe it's most

Agreed! I spent a few years getting flown out around the world to service gear at different datacenters. I learned to pack an IEC 60320 C14 to NEMA 5-15R adapter cable and a dumb, un-protected* NEMA 5-15R power strip. While on-site at the d

While some people do get away with this, it carries some risk. Without using an LLC, most every state requires you to register your vehicle where you live within 30-90 days with some exceptions (ie college students). Even with the LLC, if y

That, or, establish a trust to own the vehicle and grant yourself permission to use it. It's not exactly trivial to do and costs some money, but it's doable. You can do similar with an LLC, but that gets more complicated with the

This is intentionally not PII. You accept this burden when you decide to register a vehicle. Keep in mind you don't need to have a license plate or to register a vehicle to drive it only on private property. Your license plate is requi

No, because while the leasing company may own the vehicle (known as the title holder) the vehicle will be registered in the lesser's name (known as the registered owner.) In the case of a car purchased with financing like a loan, I bel

Pardon, but do you have a link for this RePair compressor? Unfortunately, different searches for this RePair you mentioned have only revealed links to resources for repairing broken air compressors, damaged compressed files, spinal injuries

Yes, I believe your understanding is lacking. Ambulances are dispatched for other medical emergencies as well. Compared to many other parts of Australia and even the world, the response time statistics claimed are very good. Sadly, A heart

That's a feature, not a bug. If the user can't load the redirection, they can't get phished! Problem solved. If anyone complains, refer them to the security department to be audited. It's really rather suspicious when so

I agree they may want to reuse the spectrum, but I doubt it would be for a new satellite. At least not the stuff in the lower VHF band, around 137 MHz which is awfully close to the airband reservation used for VDL Mode 2 - around 135-137 MH

The receiving IR remotes with an SDR by connecting an IR photodiode across the antenna input sounded like nonsense to me. I googled and could it be you meant people using the IR receiver feature of the RTLSDR's? It may still require co

I remember those. Absolute monsters. They used a DB13W3 with proper mini coax lines for the RGB signals instead of the VGA HD15. They weighed a ton, were painful to move and basically consumed the entirety of any desk they were set on.

A late 90s Trinitron would have been 4:3, so 1280x1024. I found it more important to run a trinitron at the native resolution for the shadow mask. Otherwise things got blurry and gross. A bit like using an LCD at its non-native resolution w

I, too, have the full name email address and I, too, have received mail for others with the same name. I've long since stopped acting on any emails except for extraordinary situations. I don't understand why people react so negati

The landing gear lever is rather prominently featured in the 787 in a panel central to the cockpit layout so that either pilot can easily reach it. For decades and across many manufacturers, the landing gear lever has traditionally featured

For what it's worth, the second letter of the d-sub naming convention indicates the width of the shell. A DB15 would be excessively wide for the number of pins. The correct name for the classic three row VGA port is DE-15 and it uses t

Specifically, it is the AU/NZ SouthPAN SBAS that's delivered via Inmarsat. They use PRN 122 for the corrections. https://www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/positioning-navigati... For details: https:/&#x2F

Most modern cellphones use AGPS, assisted GPS, to reduce the time to get their first fix. Basically, AGPS primes the GPS receiver with an accurate time of day and the GPS almanac (satellite ephemeris data). That's rather different from
