Your Roku had to "boot" for 10s - why? Would resume from standby in a couple of seconds, so you've chosen to slow yourself down. My TCL TV runs Android/Google TV, wakes from standby in 2s while also waking the surround i

Excellent (and shocking) research! Rather a shame that page with the abstract has excessively large & linespaced body text which makes it hard to actually read on mobile... that the chat feature assumes you must be a student not anyone

Kind of, using it became known as "AJAX" and it took many many years (and the addition of promises to JS) before the more sophisticated "Fetch API" became available. Even then usage of AJAX declined rather slowly as it w

You're mostly spot on but your last sentence is flawed, as it's chloramines that are the problem with pools, not chlorine, and urine is all-too-often the root cause https://www.chemicalsafetyfacts.org/health-and-sa

Does it lie? Or just get things wrong sometimes? Lying requires knowledge that what you are saying is not the truth, and usually there's a motive for doing so. I don't think ChatGPT is there yet... or is it?

The 3com card with the minimal pop out Ethernet socket [1] was super cool but it was rather fragile, especially if someone tripped over the cable! [1] https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0597/9131/1011

It already exists, see http://www.quakejs.com/ I don't have an Apple Watch but it would be interesting to know what happens when you fire it up on one.

I have two Chromecast Audio devices which similarly provide both analogue and optical digital outputs, but they seem to be much more expensive second hand than the Airplay alternative.

Details are scarce so I'm speculating, but it's likely configurable so you can set it to unlock only if actually pressed/clicked rather than just touched, which should solve the problem. While the phone is on, the power/

Within Europe, Germany and Italy eclipsed the spending of the USA in terms of %GDP, and globally, Japan eclipsed them - see https://www.statista.com/statistics/1107572/covid-19-value-g...

Wow, then presumably those merchants will likely fail, or they will spot the negative impact of Klarna in time (before failure) and switch to something else, or Klarna will change their checkout process to address this issue.

I've always thought it ludicrous that a smartwatch (like the Apple watch) should have to be charged daily - makes it pretty much useless to me, especially if it can't even tell the time! I realise that the latest Apple watches las

I recommend running Universal Android Debloater [1] on all Samsung devices (I have 2 of them) plus other manufacturers are even worse (e.g. Xiaomi) and the same accept works wonders on them too. [1] https://www.xda-developers.com

In addition to the above advice about copper/ADSL, if any of your sockets are still live after unplugging whatever you can and/or you actually want to use a phone, you should also plug filters into ALL of your live sockets (whethe

Yeah, seeing huge marketing spend by an organisation that's not a massive brand with deep pockets always makes me wonder where the money is coming from

If true then surely that's better, not worse, as it means that Facebook simply needs to be suitably (financially) incentivised to change its behaviour - perhaps achievable via tighter regulation, penalties & rewards, etc etc.

FWIW the plasma demo runs at something like 50fps in Chrome on my 3yr old Samsung Galaxy S9, and only a bit worse in Firefox (perhaps 40fps) - so they are not buttery smooth experiences, but neither are they terrible.

NVDA is the primary screen reader for 40.6% of them (swiftly followed by JAWS at 40.1%) so why aren't you testing with it? https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey8/#primary

It's so sad that micropayments are still not a thing after all these years, still think they would solve a huge range of problems including eliminating the need for many sites to be dependent upon ads

That works for standalone/installable software but not for hosted/cloud-based services as keeping every version running alongside each other forever would be a nightmare!

Is there a port or equivalent for Android? Can't see one mentioned, would love to be able to trim video and audio super quickly like this on my phone rather than having to transfer it all to my laptop first.
