Where does hypersoft X-ray end and just UV begin? Are our eyes actually just sensitive to ultrahypersoft xray sources? Or hyperhard infrared sources?

Less snarky question: would an astronomer using a UV telescope look at this and just say it's a bright UV source?

Not that it makes it any less interesting of an object, it's still unexpected and worth exploring.

Audacity has been on a very long journey to modernize itself. It wouldn't shock me to learn that they shipped it with functions that are being most widely used or easiest to carry over just to get over the hurdle of getting a major release out the door. It's a beloved tool; I know a bunch of people for whom it's a production linchpin, and I think the developers working on are aware of the number of edge cases where only some tiny fraction of their users make use of a feature. Those people can stay on version 3 for now.

IIRC, a lot of what needed to happen with Audacity was an overall change in user interfaces, which required a lot of deep thought about how people interact with the application. It may be that some of the unhandled features just don't align with the current user experience.

I'm surprised it's even legal not to have that critical information in drivers view. It's crazy to think that something like the speedometer is only being shown on the lower screen where a driver must look away to see their speed. I guess when I'm driving I don't necessarily need to see odometer or tachometer, but the speedometer is a safety device.

A Yes, I recall that I had on of those I-131 travel documents fior a while. Glad I don't have to deal with this BS anymore and handed in my Green Card many years ago.

Your faith in the corrupt Roberts supreme court may be misplaced. Time will tell.

So you're saying that a US$212 replacement display that costs more than an entire Chromebook is going to be somehow better for these public schools over some period of time?

Right.

Do you think there's a world where Apple suddenly offers inexpensive replacement parts for anything? Sometimes the screens on Chromebooks are as low as $30. I'm sure they're third party panels, but they work and return the device to useful life. How likely is it that Apple offers screen replacements under $100, even to institutional buyers?

That is repairable by the standards of Apple computers, not the standards of open hardware.

My experience dealing with a Chromebook deployment mirrors one of the grandparent commenters: 90% of the problems are broken screens, Screens are quick and easy to replace if you have the part, but screens cost money and you'll never had as many as you'll eventually need. You'll have extra parts for everything else because of the staggering number of broken screens.

I have an occasional side job dealing with PC/laptop/Chromebook repairs at a local weirdo private Christian Academy. Given that the place definitely seems to have a "go pick the stick I'm going to beat you with"-vibe, I suspect there's actually fewer broken systems than I might see from a similar deployment at a public school. Chromebook screens are still the biggest problem. One of the reasons I got this side gig is that an acquaintance saw the number of devices being written off and just assumed their day-to-day IT person couldn't possibly know what they're doing.

Anything else Apple does, unless their screens are indestructible or only cost $20 to replace, isn't going to help with that.

I completely agree. I think Congress and POTUS have mechanisms in place to make it unlikely that they personally see the volume, sophistication, and aggressiveness of scammers. The same goes for phone and text spammers. These things are a constant source of frustration for everyday people.

If Congress ever wanted an easy layup to show they are still useful, they should dedicate serious resources towards knocking down scams and spam. I would be happy to see my taxpayer dollars go to that.

Thinking the same thing. Maybe putting it in a tea bag?

Any other chemists out there like me trying to figure out how to do this in their sonicator?

EO after EO who needs laws if you can just rule by fiat? Donnie boy truly reigns like a monarch.

He does that despite the GOP controlling both houses. It's lazy and won't last longer than the current administration.

My thoughts too. And if this was their most requested feature, why did it take over 4 years to bring back?

"Hear" is being arbitrarily used to denote something other than "see" in the all-electromagnetic-radiation-is-light sense. But gravity wave are a different communication vector completely. I wonder if that community needs to come up with a different word (other than "detect"), that maybe doesn't try to connect to a real human sense, since humans can't feel it.

I vote for "floomp".

Firefox has an extension called Youtube Custom Speed. You can set arbitrary speeds from .05 to 16x in whatever increments you feel like adding. Not that it helps for the dipshits explaining how to type something in a terminal prompt, but it's definitely handy for speeding through laptop disassemblies and the like.

Chrome does appear to have the same thing so it probably works on whatever browser you like.
