No, you can't pay your ISP to get "faster internet", only to get more bandwidth between your wall and whatever backhaul provider owns the physical fiber lines. There is no way to make the internet "faster" other tha

Them competing to be the safest means that none of them are as safe as they could be working together, though. If every company has their own secret suite of test cases then different companies can specialize in different aspects of safety,

I mean it isn't like any of these makers are sharing their tax returns or anything, but for example eat_the_food is the designer and manufacturer behind "Nightcaps" [0]. He ran an event called "Poisoned summer" wher

Probably not particularly well as the Myo band only detects a handful of super basic gestures, and unless they have changed their stance in the past year or two they refuse to expose the raw data to developers. This makes it impossible to d

I get this in dense areas now. I will still get "in a half mile turn left on X street", but when it actually gives me "turn left" I will instead get "take the next left" or "take the second left" if t

Out of curiosity, did you see it in 3D? Most of my friends that saw it in 3D were complaining about how bad the renderd Leia and Tarkin were, but very few of my friends who saw it in 2D had any complaints about it.

Not sure about low latency (especially since this article seems to have failed to test that at all...), but for low-profile cherry-style switches you could look into the new low-profile Kailh switches, which are sort of based on the old Che

False. You can bend the leaf of a cherry MX switch into all sorts of wild shapes to move the tactile event up and down the press, but the actuation will stay in largely the same place. If you browse the force curves from the link I posted a

For long enough key travel times that could actually show a negative latency, which might be super weird.

As mentioned in my other comment, that is a symptom of ghosting, not of being limited to the standard 6-key rollover set by the usb spec.

ghosting can also cause issues with holding multiple keys at once and is more likely what they are referring to. Details here: https://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplai...

>In tacticale switches the bump and the making of the contact are mechanically connected. Nope! This is rarely (if ever?) the case. In alps switches, for example, there are two totally separate leafs, one of which handles the tactile fee

I drove from Indiana to Seattle two years ago while on Tmobile. I really only had issues in the mountains, in National Parks (yellowstone really, the badlands were fine for the most part, and had full LTE at Mt. Rushmore), and chunks of Sou

Unless you have an add on that isn't compatible, like the one that ubuntu for some reason bundles with the browser out of the box.

You're not wrong. I use smart lock and fingerprint on my 5x. I actually would prefer it to require fingerprint when near my watch with password fallback, and require fingerprint+password when away from my watch, but that isn't cur

You can check out the other databases he has tested here: http://jepsen.io/analyses That being said, none of the big players in sql are there, so you can't size it up against postgres or mysql.

The A line is APUs, so CPU + GPU on chip. I wouldn't call those mobile chips, though. They drain waaayyyy too much power for that. The tegra line is arm + nvidia gpu on the same SOC, which has way lower power draw (and is already used

Separated halves is the easiest of your requirements. That is a pretty well solved problem in the keyboard community (see ergodox, etc.). Having the halves communicate wirelessly is a bigger challenge, but still potentially solvable. The ea
