It's incredibly unlikely, but not entirely unforseeable that enough sensors would fail at the same time for the same reason. All four engines on the 747 BA9 failed at the same time due to volcanic ash [0]. If you just take the median

Meanwhile the hinge in my £600 Lenovo ideapad broke after 4 years of carrying it to university pretty much everyday. After a quick phone call they agreed to fix it free of charge (including return postage to Germany). This was because Lenov

If you are not using or planning to use sub-domains, the only issue is that you cannot use CNAMEs. This is nearly a non-issue as many DNS providers offer ALIAS/ANAME/ACNAME records that essentially provide CNAMEs on apex-domains.

What a load of hyperbolic rubish. To suggest that Youtube is cheating the music industry out of at least 60% of its potential revenue, a figure a couple of billion less than Googles net revenue in 2015 is crazy talk. It is this type of logi

Deciding who can see what content based upon User Agent is nothing new, it's why User Agents are such a mess in the first place.

It looks sleek but the lack of physical buttons seems pretty bad from an accessibility perspective. And it is another always on screen that will inevitably always be a little too bright for comfort. As boring as the traditional terminals yo

Had a little play with it and it's looking really promising. I'm probably going to stick to the terminal for simpler stuff, but this tool will definitely help pry me away from Gitlab, and the merge conflict resolution feature look

This is pretty much exactly what I have been looking for. I recently ditched Google Analytics and all other possible third party resources (except for YouTube which I implemented a click to play system) on my blog (consto.uk). I just have a

I wonder if a fake phone mast, similar to a stingray, would be useful for locating people lost in the wilderness. If the person had a powered on phone, and the area was located quickly enough, the device could at minimum tell you if you are

Maybe people are over critical but the service and experience of a meal is not to be ignored. I'm sure you would agree that if they literally threw the food at you it wouldn't deserve a rating regardless of the food.

Not surprised fewer went away this year. I was travelling around for nearly four weeks and it rained once, at 8pm. The weather and temperature were beautiful, in the high 20s to low 30s even in Stockholm!

I was in Stockholm a few weeks ago and among other things, went to visit this subway station. Granted I didn't visit during rush hour, but it was quiet, clean and rather nice. The station itself may be the deepest, but it isn't th

I'm not convinced. Your problem was not that your CSS was 340 KBytes, but the simple fact you were using 5 CSS frameworks. And if you start removing unused styles at random, any time you want to work on the site and add features you ma

Even if encryption isn't worth it, the access controls it gives you are to most access point owners. By limiting who can connect an owner can reduce bandwidth usage, improve latency, and increase the quality of their connection. Not to

While the article may seem alarmist, considering how little the government has achieved in the 762 days since the referendum, I too have little hope of any meaningful progress being made. We have 240 days left, little idea what the governme

Universality is key. Everything reads it, everything writes it, everyone can read or edit it by virtually any piece of software. Compare that with SQLite.
