You also left out that the "ink" levels will slowly decrease over time if printer is not used.

And that if you are out of one "color" you still won't be able to print anything at all - even if you don't need to use that "color"

Man .. I want one of the drones use to test the software. The "Find My dDrone" screen says that it is 1300km from the users location!

I just checked his profile and gave up before I could find a submission that did not contain a Dice link

Yeah but that wasn't a dicevertisment!

Not knocking your choices, but see your deliberate abstaining from iOS made me want to know which platform is better for monetization of apps. That led me to this article: For Mobile Monetization, Choose Android for Ads and Apple For In-App Purchases and the stats of:

So to be cynical you need to consider how much money you can squeeze out of each user for each platform and use that to decide whether supporting the platform is a worthwhile ROI. However I also saw a stat that said there are more than 2x number of android users - so you need to factor that in as well.

Submission is as thin as saran wrap on a toilet seat, and just as desirable.

I clicked on the link (without looking at the source) expecting to find stories of all sorts of apps that were rejected for unexpected reasons. The tease was GPS to automatically control a real-world aircraft or automobile. The trouble was .. that was also the only paragraph in the story that mentioned something like that (well ok it also mentioned emergency services) and all that was buried at the end of the article. The rest of the content was a top list from Apple explaining where people go wrong.

Not news and known to anyone who develops iOS apps, and even if you don't develop iOS apps .. the top reasons are still obvious.

find .. when people find digital media

While I laughed at the joke, this is actually a serious problem.

If you don't explicitly transfer electronic data from one generation of media/format to the next then it becomes so much harder to recover it with each technical generation that you skip. Which means that in the future when people digital media hidden away in some shoebox that belonged to their great-grandpa, they are more likely to throw it away than to try and figure out what it is.

That's not going to help him. Apparently where he is at, the google is broken.

I'd still use past tense given that the experiment was 32 years ago

I'm complaining about the tense of the origins of the data, and how that doesn't match the data itself

I suppose that I've been around here long enough to not expect any better.

If you are getting boards built but not checking that they are to spec, then I'd suggest that you are not doing any quality control. Doing that would be the very first step in the process. And you don't have to test every board, just a random sample.

And FTDI has now done the heavy lifting for you by writing software that will test if their chips are genuine.

That's easy .. quality control on your part to verify that the chips in your product are genuine.

Remember the old saying:

Trust in God, but tie your camel
