You can also defend it against tarnishment. They can argue that IKEA appearing in a violent video game has negative associations with their trademarks.

No reasonable person would have been confused into thinking it was an official IKEA game; IANAL, but it seems unlikely to me that IKEA would have ultimately prevailed in court, though a simple change to the color of the logo would probably

Technically, no. However there are metamaterials in which certain wavelengths exhibit a negative index of refraction, which cause light to behave in some ways similarly to if it were moving faster. https://en.wikipedia.org/

You don't need to be merging multiple source pins into fewer output pins; it's very normal for multiple ground pins to appear on an output connector, and for the 12V GPU and motherboard pins you see multiple output pins at 12V as

Couldn't you still fry a PSU if the cable assumed multiple common pins to the PSU, but the PSU had different voltages across those connectors?

double-sided velcro holds less well and is more likely to stick to things. Just toss a pair of diags in your box if you are worried about getting the zip ties off.

I seriously doubt that I'll ever need the 3 floppy-drive cables or 10 IDE cables that I have.

E-mail is far worse; my wife asked me if an e-mail was a scam and it took me several minutes to figure out how to show the e-mail of the sender in her e-mail client. It was clearly a hacked hotmail account after doing so, but her e-mail

I'll have to rewatch Princess Mononoke; I haven't seen it since it was in the theater in the US. I remember not liking it as much as the other Miyazaki I've seen, but I'm a different person today.

That's funny because (living in the US) I've noticed that many printers default to A4. Maybe 20 years ago, one printer at work would think A4 paper was loaded in it after every power-failure and we'd have to go through the m

Good to know; I missed that when looking for players. Probably because if you search the App Store for "jellyfin" on TvOS, it doesn't find SenPlayer

None of this affects the cell current though. If your motors draw W Watts at peak, and you have N cells at V volts then the peak per-cell current will be (approximately -- there are internal losses) W/(NV) regardless of the geometry of

That's nice; my first impressions of D2 were much worse than they should have been since the default layout engine is pretty terrible for some types of graphs; ELK is a big improvement, and when I tried TALA it was sometimes a big impr

FWIW, Moonfin and Infuse both work flawlessly on an AppleTV. I also remember Google TV working fine, but it seemed like ads got added to another part of the UI every month so I got sick of it. Roku only supports text subtitles, so if you ha

If you are consuming X watts per cell, then each cell will drain by the same amount of current regardless of whether the cells are in series or parallel (or more likely a combination of the two). This is supposed to be able to handle "

Strike Commander , a.k.a. the game that required QEMM386 to actually work. I do think it was the last game I got that came with a really nice manual though.

I'm terrible at estimating aspect ratios, but the plane in the video doesn't seem to be particularly high aspect ratio. Since they will be presumably holding less fuel, they could certainly be thinner though. While poking around

Noise at takeoff depends on the propeller geometry a lot. A necessary (but not sufficient) requirement for a quieter takeoff would be lower propeller tip-speed. One of the ways to achieve high thrust at low tip speed is to have larger tota

The 737-Max is only not a clean-sheet only because the selling point is pilots don't need to retrain, which is a competitive advantage when selling to airlines.

That's max discharge current per cell though. You are going to have a lot of cells in a plane like this.

I'm surprised by the struts supporting the wing; that saves weight (probably important here), but at the cost of drag. Wikipedia suggests a rule of thumb of 200mph being the break-even point for struts vs cantilever, and I would guess

You can brute-force jam the entire 80MHz range. However, it would require roughly 13dB more power compared to jamming a narrow-band signal. In theory, you could try to exploit the adaptive frequency hopping that bluetooth does, nudging it
