The raw materials are cheap: It's mostly just quartz, which is the most abundant mineral on earth. The problem is actually making chips. The machines use to make modern integrated circuits are some of the most precise equipment in the

Most people want to avoid looking like AI, ut what if you want to blend in with the robot uprising. I present ⸻ the U+2E3B dash.

Very predictable: If Facebook (or any other social media site) showed you what you wanted to see --- stuff from your friends --- you would be satisfied and leave. ... but Facebook makes money off ads. They don't want you leaving. They

This. A physical safe provides something that you can't do digitally: It's hard, but not impossible to get in without credentials. On the internet, it's either: Public for anyone in the whole world, or impossible to recover

I doubt that's going to be much of a problem: As long as the average power is within rated limits. It takes time for coils to heat up and cool down: The worst thing you can do for speakers is to play loud music on a hot day. (Music als

It's often one IP (v4!) per one request. It's insane how many resources are being burned on this stupidity. Part of the reason I did this is to get good numbers on how bad the problem is: A link maze is a great way to make otherwi

Sorry about that, stupid mistake on my side. I've fix the version on the server, an you can just edit the line to "pthread_detach(thread);" The snprintf() is only part of a status page, so you can remove it if you want. As fo
