Countries with sane laws include a tolerance limit to take into account flaws in speedometers and radars. Here in Brazil, the tolerance is 10%, so tickets clearly state "driving at speed 10% above limit".

I don't know enough of the 8086 so I don't know if this works the same, but on the Z80 (which means it was probably true for the 8080 too), XOR A would also clear pretty much all bits on the flag register, meaning the flags would

It's much easier to smuggle a USB drive with Windows updates than it is a few tonnes of metal. Then China will switch a billion desktops to Linux and the US will still need rare earths.

That is assuming the objects will be at the same place relative to us, which is not true. Like reaching Andromeda. Voyager I will reach oyr neighbouring galaxy in roughly 4.5 billion years, not 45, that's because Androneda is moving in

Many banks and Fintechs here offer this, the trick is that you need to open a local office, so you have a Brazilian subsidiary with a CNPJ number in order to open a bank account and receive the money.

There are plenty of companies in Brazil that offer PIX payments to foreign e-shops. Valve has been accepting PIX for some time now, for example.

Pix is free for natural persons and individual entrepreneurs. For businesses, receiving is free, but they pay a fee to send money[0], this can vary from one institution to another. [0] https://www.contabilizei.com.br/contabi

Some languages do it way more frequently. Take my native Portuguese. Brazil had 3 ortographic reforms in the 20th century, while Portugal had 5 in the same period, all before the "Ortographic Accord" of 1990, that unified ortograp

That's good for small rewinds, but with a Bic pen, you can rewind the whole tape as fast (maybe even faster than some) ad a tape deck. Just slide the pen in the spool and start spinning the cassete. Like this: https://m.yout

It's such a versatile product. I bet everyone here who's older than 45/50 have at least once used a Bic pen to rewind a cassete tape. I also used the plastic clip as a stapler remover. There were many other uses for it, for s

That's because WSL2 implements an X11 client and sets the DISPLAY variable. X11 network transparency does the rest. You can do the same on Linux, as long as you're to learn how X11 arcane permission system works.

A large enough telescope in space, with a coronagraph could, in teory, find such planets by direct imaging. Right now, I believe only JWST fits the bill, but using it for this purpose would interfere with other types of research, so the cor

So does fission reactors. Modern French nuclear subs are powered by 48 MW reactors. They're still expensive to build and maintain.

Interesting fact, Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Sivuca[0], was from the same region of the country, played the same instruments in the same styles as Hermeto and was Albino too. They were frequently mistaken for each other. [
