I, for one, welcome our equivalently valued rat overlords.

Nah, they already tried that. It proved unsustainable.

Sure, reversible connectors are nice and all, but it's being overrated IMO. I really honestly never understood why people have a problem trying to blindly insert the connector. What I've always done is feel the sides of the connector to find out where the little barbs are. All devices I have owned so far require the barbs to face down when inserting the micro C connector.

I did basically the same thing in the good ol' mini B days, except I would feel the short sides to find out its orientation.

Wait, what?

I didn't RTFA, but judging from the title, wasn't this about SSDs and not about GPUs? Or do SSDs also have active cooling and large drivers now?

Which grants the people of Gaza little consolation for their civilian casualties, who for various reasons, are either unable to leave/a> or are deliberately targeted despite trying to flee. Not to mention that the survivors will have lost all of their belongings. Those warnings are essentially of zero use to the Palestinians, they are only useful for the apologists of Israel's PR machine.

There is actually plenty of evidence of deliberate targeting of civilians by the IDF. Take a look at this video for example, which shows a civilian being deliberately taken out by a sniper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Especially in corporate environments it's rather common to buy devices in bulk. They are often maintained by IT staff, ensuring the software stack installed on it is identical as well. Not to mention the external IP addresses.

I can see the privacy implications this has, but how in the world would such a method successfully discern between 2 identical devices?

I guess I'm not the only one who was a bit confused about that.

I just recently had one of my first LED bulbs fail (the most expensive one at that). It was an 8W dimmable bulb and it still flickers so I suspect the controller is broken and not the LED itself.

Got 2 new 12W bulbs this week for only €10 a pop, sent from China. And I love them. Just need to wait and see now how long they'll last.

I still have an SVGA CRT lying around that's from between 1990-1994 and it also doesn't suffer from burn-in. It does suffer from temporary image persistence, though. Resolution goes up to 960*600 (for some odd reason it's not 960*640), so it's still kinda usable.

I've never ever had burn-in issues with my 19" Philips CRT bought in 2005. OTOH, I've had a pretty severe case of burn-in on a SGS2 AMOLED display, but the tech is much younger so it's not entirely unexpected.

Do you also see a huge bar at the bottom of the screen in Gnome 3? Or do you just not use Windows all that much

Judging by their spelling, I'm absolutely positive they have a Slashdot account.

To be fair, the Nexus wireless charging pads suck. Samsung's are better, as they tend to be phone-sized, which makes for much easier alignment. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobi...

That's interesting. Coding as a kid, I more or less came up with the same principle for my little programs. I also later figured that it was misguided to leave robustness up to the implementation, instead of the specification (or in my case the function definition).

API functions that have any reasonable expectations for default values should just define those defaults, not silently default to something seemly random and completely undocumented.
