Yep the SPU you end up spending so much time managing memory. No cache they are just dumb processors. I find it funny they thought they can take ps2 vu0/vu1 and make it a processor.

The solution I use and many others is to only charge a usb battery in public, and you use that battery to charge your devices. That works well to solve all the issues with public power ports.

Static analysis will not stop most of the exploits that have happened on iOS/OSX in the recent years. Often it is a situation where multiple processes are working together and there is a way to trick a privileged process into modifying

Two games by the same studio who are praised for their ability to tell a story. To be honest there are only a few games I played during the ps3 era (bought it for the cell chip+linux and left it unpatched when they removed it from the firmw

One thing their example doesn't handle is browser location history on clicking elements in their UI. Maybe it was due to how simple the example was, but having to click back many times based on how many times a user used the interface

The alarm app on iOS can run into an issue where it will not play sound regardless of any other setting. It has existed in many versions of iOS. It has happened in iOS 10 and iOS 11, I don't know about the previous versions. They fix i

Hackintosh systems are easy as long as you're not looking to update them after everything is working correctly. They are fragile systems that one doesn't really want to risk production environments on in my opinion.

The image gallery doesn't tell us if they were using a dell recovery cd or something else.

I haven't had to recover from an OEM vendor install in awhile, but if I remember right there are many situations where the user does not need to input the serial number for activation.

If you are interested in this, people tried the long/short strategy in currencies (forex) and called it a grid trade. The system would be both long and short the same contract and take profit at a given interval on both sides. When the

I don't know why others downvoted you, but buying a post-IPO stock is not directly funding the company the majority of the time.

The view count itself isn't why they are buying views, it is the ranking in search and related videos. I find youtube/twitch have the same problems as the CPM industry. If you punish the provider of content for negative viewer act

Again when it comes to the USA copyright law, it is about distribution. A person who copies a specific work and does not distribute it is not breaking the law as far as I am aware. That is why I'd be interested in seeing what laws have

The blockchain itself would be too expensive to store a large amount of data, so they would only be storing magnet links much like most tracker sites currently do.

If that is illegal, then I am breaking the law when I modify a computer program for personal use. As far as I am aware, if they are not distributing their changes, there is no copyright violation. I'd be interested to see what laws the

Reading a patent will make you not infringe in the short term, but will you remember you got the idea from that patent in ten years? For people who are writing novel software it can be better to always avoid reading patents, that way they c

The main thing headless chrome saves is having to spawn and manage xvfb per instance. If more sites adopt serving fake data to headless chrome, people will just return to the old xvfb workflow for those sites, and use headless for everythin

Yes initial margin on a stock purchase for reg-t will be 50% and then reduce later to around 25%. The broker will be on the hook to their counter party, but you are now required to pay your broker. So a worse case situation is normally 4 to

The futures contracts trade less than 1% of the global spot btc volume on any given day. The products so far have been a failure.

And yet anyone can buy 3x leveraged ETF/ETNs and not understand how the products are structured. Some of those products, due to the structure, will always lose value over time as the futures used to replicate them are normally in cont

Funny enough, I tend to avoid these type of discussions because surprise surprise, I got downvoted and they didn't even answer the core question. Why should a customer pay to add value to comcast? They aren't getting a discount if

Except comcast has datacaps for total transfer per month. I don't use comcast so I do not personally know if they charge for excessive data usage, but I know cox does. Besides the point of potential cost, why should a user who is payin
