Comment PIP (Picture-In-Picture). Does HDMI-2.1a make it? (Score 1) 35

FTFA: "...having the source device configure content for the specific display."
I really hope that this means that we'll soon be able to put/position multiple HDMI streams on one large display, like a background stream, program streams, and Nest/Ring/Sec camera windows on one big display.
Lcd/Plasma/OLED/TV's began to lose PIP (Picture-in-Picture) capability over a decade ago, so it's about time that feature came back to we the new consumers.

Comment JUUL should sell device w/Empty but REFILABLE PODS (Score 1) 232

Tens of Millions of JUUL device owners are out there - Flavored "Pods" have been outlawed.
JUUL should sell the device+charger with 1 Tobacco, and 2 newly designed empty but REFILLABLE pods from now on. ...and sell empty REFILLABLE pods to please its customer base that loves JUULs' form factor. ...but mostly the white LED night light feature that JUUL alone features!

Comment Being so high & wide, did it affect SAT orbits (Score 2) 42

FTFA: "The space hurricane was more than 620 miles wide and high in the sky -- it formed in the ionosphere, between 50 and 600 miles up."
My questions are:
1. Does this phenom affect orbit paths & positions of large and small SATs?
2. Surely this has happened before, and it will again: Were we already prepared for this one?

Comment Re:I do hope architects aren't involved. (Score 2) 99

This might be a location thing, but in the united states, plans from an architect aren't enough to get anything built.
You need to get an engineer to stamp drawings, saying, "Hey, yeah, this is safe, it can be built, etc."

It's not uncommon for architects to build dumpster fires. Frank Lloyd Wright homes are notoriously awful to maintain, for example.

Comment Solid Browser (Score 3, Informative) 20

I used it for a few weeks for personal use only, I enjoyed it, it was solid, behaved like any modern browser. A little annoying that I had to tweak it to install chrome extensions.

The only reason I'm not using it full time is it's mute tabs, not sites, philosophy. There's only a handful of sites I want to hear audio from, and there's no easy way to do this without an extension. IMHO this should be a first class feature.
