Yeah, what are they thinking. Might as well try to trademark the name of a common fruit.

Curious, does Amazon also pay their employees as well as athletes?

"We believe this additional step will get more GeForce cards at better prices into the hands of gamers everywhere."

The problem with this is the nerfed hashrate on the 3060, and presumably the newer nerfed cards, is still higher than a 1660 Super/Ti and miners are more than willing to buy those at obscene prices. These new cards will have a better hashrate, better resale value AND have the potential that the nerf can be broken at some point in the future. There's no reason at all to think this will deter miners in the slightest.

Now we just need to get Minecraft running on that in-game virtual PC.

The funny thing about those solar panels is that it would take over 150 years of them operating to generate enough power to synthesize Jean-Luc's cup of earl grey, hot.

Am I the only one seeing that b is impossible to answer because a cable is going to have some sort of rigidity and would never hang exactly straight and therefore would be more than 10 meters above the ground?

I don't know about giving up Google but they're free to send me a $50 check every month for not using Facebook.

Well, to be fair the 802.11 spec did actually go through most of the letters in order until they got to y and then went with two letter affixes that started with "a." Most of the various revisions were never really used in consumer hardware though or the features were rolled into latter versions. So not really an engineer problem but more of a "what does the industry think is enough of an advance to get people to buy new equipment" problem.

I dunno, maybe the firm isn't actually in Japan at all and it's just in a small Japanese centric district of another country like Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.

In Colorado Springs Centurylink offers 1Gbps up/down fiber for $65 a month. The ONT rental fee is like $10 a month. I think you can buy your own but it's expensive enough that it would take more than a year before it paid for itself unlike a regular DSL modem which could pay for itself in a few months.

I don't think the use of pro audio gear is a compelling reason for leaving a headphone jack that's driven by a consumer grade chip set in an electrically noisy environment. Anyone that's actually really doing pro level audio work is probably using an external DAC or something, or at least should be.

and I still hate it. There's no organization and it takes longer to scroll through. Looks like a random mess of pictures someone puked onto a wall. It doesn't even give you customization options like "Show less of this" to curate what shows up anymore.

I imagine space cookies would also be a lot bigger because they don't have gravity keeping them mostly flat and the air pressure being lower than on Earth. I also imagine that you would have a higher danger of the cookies burning on the outside before the center was fully baked.

The FCC doesn't have authority over the internet unless the telecoms want Ajit Pai to do something for them.

I wouldn't.
