The real disappointment is none of the sources are linked in the text. Instead, it's just random underlined words, the classic chatgpt over formatting with lots of extra underlining and bolding. I appreciate that a 10-15 minute long ar

That does not sound enjoyable and seems like HDR abuse. The "normal" video should aim to be moderately bright on average, the extra peak brightness is good for contrast in dark scenes. Other comments comparing it to the loudness

It's good if you have black text on white background, since your app can have good contrast without searing your eyes. People started switching to dark themes to avoid having their eyeballs seared monitors with the brightness high. For

This is a much better introduction to the hardware.

Definitely reeks of someone who doesn't know what makes a readable blogpost and hoped the LLM did. I was not familiar with the hardware, so I was disappointed there wasn't a picture of the device. Tried to skim the article and it&

Even the Pentium M systems from a decade prior have <10W idle. Honestly embarrassing to mention when AI chips are dumping kilowatts.

Outside of keeping a SPARC blade system running 24/7, most old systems use similar power to a light fixture. This argument misses the forest for the trees for non-commercial users.

Phones default tonusing Through the Lens autofocus. This is closed-loop and pretty fastthese days. Only when it's too dark work effectively do they switch to lidar/tof open loop autofocus systems.

Why do you think you need to clarify that?

Many of them do. My Android 9 phone has it. The feature only turns on when your calling an actual phone number though, voice calls like Discord don't trigger it. It's not analog, but it's a feature built into the audio chip s

Your ears are a complex system. Just like when your eyes think it's darker, your pupils dilate, your ears have a similar method of controlling how much sound gets to the sensitive bits. It's possible that ANC convinces your ear to

That program is excellent! I purchased an AtmotubePro for PM2.5 measuring, and their testing and confirming it uses and SP30 makes me much more confident in it's readings.

The on package DRAM for the current macs isn't anything special. It's just normal LPDDR running at normal LPDDDR speeds, same thing you find in your phone. On package has many advantages, but it's not a hard requirement. The

I've noticed similar. I've woken up early, taken my pulse and notice it was a bit high and used that to decide to go back to sleep.

They changed all the user facing docs to "server" a while back. Internally the code might still say "guild", but officially they've embraced calling them servers.

They have USB-C ports. You can always just plug them in and use them as wired controllers.

Presumably that's when you hit the minimum voltage the CPU is allowed to run at. There's still a few other gotchas though. As CPU frequency goes down, it waits less cycles for RAM. Practically it's a bit of a copout since kee

1W is one joule per second. With unlimited time, you also have unlimited joules trickling out.

The steam one also makes multiplayer much more convenient. Just click on your buddy and join their game. The open source release is a bit trickier and has you hosting and typing in IP addresses.

What about making the power button recessed like on Sony Xperias? If you're really worried about camera ergonomics, you can even add a dedicated shutter button. The "focus on half press" feature might be overkill for the iPho

Sometimes they aren't essentially the same, but instead different in invisible ways. DeWalt grinders at Canadian Tire used to use plastic parts where metal was typically used. Outside of the different SKU it was difficult to tell the d

Since the only thing consumers use full size PCIe slots for now is for a single GPU, extra M.2 slots isn't that big of an ask. One M.2 keyed for an interchangeable wifi card, one for NVMe storage, and then an extra one if you want to u

Other applications can do it too. I recall the Gnome file browser having a big red warning banner if you decided to launch it with gksudo.

Wii is pretty simple. If you pay attention, when you launch a game, tge He controller lights flash. This is because it's reinitializing Bluetooth iirc.
