I completely agree. No browser should be made to do that to itself.

I had a tablet with hot swappable batteries. It had two of them. When one was done, it seamlessly switched to the next one, allowing you to hot swap the discharged battery without any interruption. Just for fun, the phone manufacturer could build an external battery bank using a larger collection of the same small hot swap batteries. That way, they're able to be useful even when the phone is doing ok.

For people with the funds for $3M toys, this could be a nice alternative to the usual bling. I think, making one 10 meters tall and calling it an "interactive sculpture" might find a market as well.

All those little handheld translators are consumer grade hardware. It's going to depend on how this software compares.

While I'm sure fuel efficiency falls off sharply with speed, I wonder whether the tech that makes it quiet also makes it more fuel efficient than other aircraft that travel at the same speed.

Do an internet search asking whether "American" Cisco routers are manufactured in China.

Does it run on phones with radios for band 71? Last I checked, they were only mentioning it running on EU specific Sonys.

I hadn't thought about NFTs for a while. But, if there's no actual copyright on that cool, unique image you convinced an AI to draw with a special choice of words, there you go... blockchain can make everyone (who has the technical ability to determine NFT provenance) aware that "yours" is the original, or at least, the first of its kind made into an NFT.

Now, when I ignore management, and they object, my first response can be "Sorry, I didn't have the correct take on what you were trying to get across when you said [insert euphemism]. I try to keep up with the new terminology, but, knowing it's new terminology, I expect that there are nuances only time and experience will help me pick up. Thanks for taking the time to help clarify what you had tried to communicate."

Thanks for heads up. I'm prepaid a few years with them, so I'll be careful to move before it runs out. Where did you land?

Try Gandi. Until they sell themselves (and I pray that they don't) their "no bullshit" guarantee is pretty nice.

I've always liked their 20+ kw industrial electric motors. Their variable frequency drives aren't the most robust ever built, but the prices for the small ones have often been good.

Why copy the faces and bodies of living extras when they can train from the extras in films of long ago? They could train from the faces and bodies from crowds in newsreels from the 1930s.

The big variance in mechanical keyboard keys is in the force curve and in the clickyness. Invent keys where you can control these things on the fly, and you can defeat this attack and have the holy grail of customizable mechanical keyboards at the same time.

Every source I've seen for this article has been from a financial publication. I haven't seen it anywhere from the usual science news places.
