My Pixel 4a had a similar audio handling bug - could not play a video or make a phone call without the sound being interrupted. I sent it in for warranty service and discovered that the frame had been cracked (likely when I dropped it). Why not send your Pixel 5s in for warranty service?

What standard is the Gmail dot feature ignoring? And what "competitive advantage" does it give them?

This report is no different than saying, "Scammer Groups are Using Multiple Email Accounts for Online Fraud!". The gmail dot feature makes it a tiny bit easier for them, but it's no different than using multiple fake email accounts. This is non-news.

Bingo! Patents don't protect anything without the ability to sue deep-pocketed infringers.

The Bowmar Brain (1971) was the first electronic calculator made in the USA and it was also the first inexpensive calculator sold in the USA. As a result, it was also the first widely used calculator in the USA. http://www.vintagecalculators....

From the article: "Do German consumers benefit from negative prices? Not directly. The wholesale costs of power make up only about a fifth of the average household electricity bill in Germany. The rest is a stew of taxes, fees to finance renewable-energy investments, and charges for use of the grid. That means their bills are lower than they otherwise would be, because power prices are sometimes negative, though household energy bills have been rising overall anyway. Basically, utilities are not depositing money in customer's bank accounts." https://www.nytimes.com/2017/1...

Conclusion: "If time is money for your work, and your work can take advantages of lots of threads, the i7-6950X is the fastest high-end desktop CPU we've ever tested, full stop. If you don't need all of its cores and threads, however, the Core i7-7700K arguably delivers the best gaming performance on the market for about a fifth of the price. Intel's Extreme Edition CPUs have never been good values, but the i7-6950X takes the definition of "halo product" to eye-watering new heights. If the return-on-investment calculations work out for you, though, the i7-6950X is an amazing chip."

How many visitors do you have? Seriously. 1000 button pushes is a LOT. Battery life is the least if your problems if you're getting that many visitors.

TIn 19 years none of the cloud infrastructure used by the button is going to work. You'll be lucky if the APis last a year. So that's like 3 button presses a day before your IoT button stops working anyway.

The best cheap camera drone currently is the HUBSAN X4 H107C-HD Quadcopter with 2MP Video Camera. For only $65, you get a quadcopter that shoots 720p video and can fly for 7 minutes per charge both indoors and out. It's a great way to learn how to fly a quadcopter and you won't get upset if you destroy it learning how to fly. You can even order it from B&H Photo http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/...

You can drive the Asus PQ321 / Sharp PN-K321 at 3840x2160 with two HDMI ports or one DisplayPort. If your graphics card supports DisplayPort 1.1, then it can only drive the monitors at 3840x2160 30Hz. If your graphics card supports the latest DisplayPort 1.2, then you can drive the monitors at 60Hz if you are willing to configure it as if it were two 1920x2160 60Hz monitors side-by-side.

The Asus PQ321 appears to be the same IGZO monitor as the Sharp PN-K321. I purchased the Sharp PN-K321 last week and found it had less dynamic range / contrast than the Dell 3011 it replaced, which meant that pictures and movies looked better on the Dell than on the Sharp despite the higher resolution of the Sharp. And it was very difficult to configure all my applications to display text at the desired size. Regardless of how I set it up, some fonts in some applications were either too small or too large. I returned it yesterday, and I wouldn't be surprised if many others meet the same disappointing fate. The only application I can think of is where you need resolution and are willing to give up contrast / dynamic range. Maybe it's good for displaying maps?

Verizon discourages users from purchasing an iPhone because it costs more for them to subsidize iPhones than it costs them to subsidize other phones. It has nothing to do with 3g or 4g.

The self-serving statements were from an HP exec who wants to excuse the fact that HP wasted $1.2 billion.
