The MTA that runs the subway system isn't run by the city... the MTA is state-level. I could see this change if this crap keeps

Oops, meant TRR(targeted row refresh), not TTR. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

Yes and no, the LPDDR4 JEDEC(rather than vanilla DDR4) has TTR to mitigate Rowhammer... but support in memory modules is optional.

This is LPDDR; Intel and AMD don’t support it. Intel announced support in CannonLake that was supposed to ship in 2016... and still isn’t available to consumers.

LPDDR4 has been standard on ARM devices(phones/tablets) for quite a few years.

4266 is the highest rated LPDDR4 chips in the LPDDR4 spec. Even the Galaxy S9 only uses LPDDR4-3732 (1866MHz). https://www.qualcomm.com/produ...

Maybe Apple’s new iPads use LPDDR-4266.

The MS Surface is a “detachable tablet” and is included in the declining tablet sales numbers in the article.

Microsoft has only really sold the surface in the US and hasn’t shipped enough devices to get near the top of any global sales charts(either as a tablet or PC).

Personally I hate the detachable tablet form factor; it is a clumsy laptop and a heavy tablet.

Crystal oscillators running at low kHz have ~1ppm, but MHz crystals are closer to 50ppm. Crystals that a CPU would use deviate from their designed frequency quite a bit based on temperature. CPUs are generally designed so that variations in frequency expected from normal quartz crystals under normal temperatures don't effect them by giving extra headroom to everything.

You can add protection against this deviation by cutting the crystal into crazy shapes(e.g. a tuning fork pattern), but it makes the crystal more fragile, larger, more expensive, and the crystal can't oscillate as fast.

Extremetech's article seems to be mostly mistaken. Intel's Sunny Peak project that Apple isn't using isn't a 5G modem, it's a WiFi/Bluetooth chipset.

The last straw for me was when I realized how many pages were breaking BECAUSE Google was silently redirecting to AMP versions of pages. Google forces all users that it thinks are on iOS or Android to their AMP variants even though there are TONs of bugs on iOS that Google is not fixing.

The nonAMP version of the AMP website works better than the AMP version... Check out how AMP breaks scroll-to-top taps on iOS by stuffing everything in extra iframes. Try scrolling around while zoomed in on iOS ... Googleâ(TM)s JavaScript that tries to progressively load content will inevitably screw up and stop you from scrolling far. https://www.google.com/amp/s/w...

Google has that pretty well covered. https://cloud.google.com/about...

This is pretty much how all broadcast TV is tracked. Neilson gives families trackers that listen for signals and then collects them. These psychoacoustic encodings are broadcast every 2.5 seconds. Facebook seems to have patented using a smartphone to do this rather than a dedicated device.

Thatâ(TM)s 4 billion tons of yellowcake, I think there is 11 billion billion tons of water.

Was it?

I had a WindowsPhone7 and the live tiles were interesting; but ultimately made the phone harder to use. Either I couldn't get the tile to display something useful or it was hard to find apps because the tile looked too different when it updated.

I also remember getting copy/paste in an update(WindowsPhone 7.2?).

The browser not being WebKit based meant you had completely different issues from Android and iPhone on the web... Technically it was fairly standards compliant; but was a pain in the ass to use.

Slashdot has had some doozies lately. The one about Apple killing âoeDisplayLinkâ was fairly galling. https://m.slashdot.org/story/3... No mention that âoeDisplayLinkâ has nothing to do with âoeDisplayPortâ and basically hasnâ(TM)t worked on MacOS in the last 5 years. DisplayLinkâs hardware has similar Linux support(e.g. support seems to have stopped). Window still has some issues, but is fairly usable. https://support.displaylink.co... https://support.displaylink.co...

That could be worked around by letting day/time be specified in multiple formats that overlap.

• Oct 3rd -10:00 = Oct 2nd 14:00
• Feb 2nd 28:00 = Feb 3rd 4:00

Detecting something and reliably tracking something are two different things. The US is responsible for tracking all satellites mainly because they are the only ones doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

The loss of US grants to this company will be devastating. I also wonder what will happen with this companyâ(TM)s space insurance premiums. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
