Yeah what about secondary or periphery voices from those around you? How many times have you dictated a text message on the phone when someone elses voice nearby makes unwanted words injected into your message? Imagine that in a busy office of everyone talking to their computer. A worker would say "Send the crate of materials to customer XY" From a nearby worker it also picks up the word "drug" when you are talking. So now the computer gets "Send the crate of drug materials to customer XY" :)

In 1987 and 1988, in my high school in western new york state area at the time, they had about six (6) Apple IIe computers, most with the floppy disk drives. I think one had an audio tape drive. And two had a dot-matrix printer. I also remember they had a 300 baud acoustic phone modem, the kind where you set the handset of an existing phone on the modem. I remember that because the baud rate was so low, and the modem sound was so loud, that you could yell into the microphone part during a modem transmission and it would not mess it up. And for some reason I remember the name of this disk copying program called disk muncher that we would copy games that had disk protection on them. The lady who ran it was super cool, we would skip out of gym and she'd let us go there and say it was legitimate. ok thanks.

Well it may not be just "displayed times", possible scheduled tasks and processes could still get affected if the system "falls back" to normal (non-DST) time, of course assuming the bill passes and the system has not been updated. Thanks.

I'm surprised there hasn't been much talk about the possible technical ramifications of permanent DST. I realize that most modern devices and systems (i.e. PCs, Windows, Linux, smartphones, etc.) will be able to have software updates to apply the permanent DST. But what about many other devices that may need more difficult and manual software/firmware updates? If they can be updated at all? I wonder how much of a nuisance this will cause if passed?

The cooling on one of the CPU's fails, the CPU smokes, the AI glitches out and BOOM! Nuclear fusion to nuclear explosion!

Actually a 220v charger will not charge in a couple of hours.

Most people do not realize the immense amount of power required to charge electric vehicles, or at least charge them faster.

Home 240v chargers are typically 7kw. They have a 22kw charger for homes, but you have to have 3-phase electrical which nearly no household has. So if we consider a 7kw charger, and a Tesla model S with 100kw battery, barring all the minute details, that works out to approximately 14.28hrs to fully charge it! And that's just one car. If you need multiple cars to be charged, you need multiple chargers, which is difficult due to the electricity needs.

Those Tesla super charging stations have 72kw, 150kw and 250kw connections. Those stations are connected to the grid via high power, commercial lines. Just ONE 72kw connection is DOUBLE the average entire household power (i.e. 240v x 150amp entrance = ~36kw).

So, electric cars being common are far off primarily just because infrastructure is not ready.

How can you compete with the current pull up to a gas station and basically equivalent to a full charge in 5 minutes?

The more humans that are involved, the more problems there are. And I don't mean only from the 'development' standpoint, I mean including 'users' as well.

Hi, sorry I think you have it backwards. Over the ear headphones with good drivers are MUCH MUCH better than any earbud. Bass is basically movement of air. Bigger drivers in over the ear headphones move air. Those little drivers in earbuds hardly move any air. Plus over the ear has better spatial characteristics and so forth.

We'll see. AMD's GPU cards for servers and virtualization have been really gaining ground on Nvidia. And there's also a big difference: Nvidia not only charges for the card but also requires annual per-user licenses. AMD only charges for the card and has no per-user licensing. That will be attractive to enterprise and big-business clients.

Yes, sometimes wired headphones, sometimes my nice Sony MDR-XB950B1 bluetooth headphones (sound real nice, good bass). But its always convenient to grab a pair of traditional wired headphones or earbuds and use them if needed.

Yes. We have 4 PCs in the house of various Windows OSs, some for the kids, we always shut down at end of day. Ensures cleaner operation, helps avoid issues from memory buildup/bloat from sleeping the PC all of the time.

I have some Hikvision and Amcrest cams (I know there are security concerns), but what you can do is disconnect the internet when you first setup the camera as it will get DHCP IP address info. THEN, connect to the camera, change it to STATIC IP, and change the gateway and DNS settings to something non-existing like 1.2.3.4, 1.2.3.5, whatever. Or blank if it let's you. Now it should be a good LAN only camera without any internet connectivity. Also browse around the rest of the settings, many Cams have 'cloud' or other 'service' features enabled by default, disable them. Ok thanks.

There are 86,400 seconds in one day. So 350,000,000 / 86,400 = approx 4,050 trees planted EVERY SECOND. Given general knowledge of planting plants, even with hi-tech automated machinery, can this actually get accomplished in one day? And think of the area/acreage needed, etc. Just questioning the amount. What do you guys think? thanks.

I agree. What about the jerks that DID the attack? What they are absolved? No way! "The door to the bank vault is left open. I go and steal some stuff. It's not my fault, it's the bank's fault for leaving the door open." - REDICULOUS.
