The Tsinghua researchers integrated these thermoacoustic chips into a pair of earbud headphones and connected them to a computer to play music from videos and sound files. They've used the headphones to play music for about a year without significant signs of wear
Unless it's a really unique computer, I doubt it generates copious amounts of ear wax nor occasionally goes out in rain showers sans umbrella.
More to the point: I've never had earphone speakers fail; it's always the wires that break. Solve *that* far weaker link, researchers.
One of the most fatal mistakes was giving the DEA (and their co-conspirator dumbass local cops) the power to seize cash and assets from kingpins (meaning: every corner boy, toothless meth head, AND THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES) and give this lucre... to themselves.
The DEA is no different than their NSA brethren; they both see themselves far above the laws that apply only to the proles.
I switched my LMDE from MATE to Cinnamon due to a weird crash on reboot. It's fine, but I cannot get the damn thing to *not* make any system noises whatsoever (clunk when inserting a USB stick, clunk when deleting a file). I guess 'Mute' in system settings has a different definition than the common one.
They also announced an add-on keyboard aimed at the production and playing of music for wannabe house DJs. Niche, yes, but nobody was expecting something actually interesting from Microsoft - though I bet the creators had to hide it from a phalanx of Redmond middlemen and bean counters whiter than their printer paper.
But how many pedestrians are killed because people are texting while their vehicle is stationary?
Doofus navel-gazing into their phone, hears a horn honk, thinks the light has turned green, hits the gas... and prompty runs over a pedestrian in front of them that they couldn't be bothered to pay attention to.
Next, NY Times community manager Bassey Etim, who oversees 13 comment moderators, offers up his comments on comments, agreeing that 'the comments are where the real America is.
Meaning: racist, misogynist, vain, hide-bound, jingoistically ignorant; all smothered in the secret sauce of the implied threat of violence.
"Shadow, take a note; I just had the weirdest dream. I was dreaming I was eating a large candy bar but it tasted terrible and it was really, really hard. Why is my mouth bleeding? Hey, are you getting any of this? Wait... where's my phone?"
Yet another half-assed, get to market quick, abandoned by its own makers before the next year is out Android tablet that will be so unsatisfying to use, it should be labled as landfillware.
Of course they're not going to protest the Federales wishes if the threat of money loss / promise of money gain is on the line. Even now, these money-grubbing cowards still have to band together in a large colony to try and construct an artificial spine.
These days, I surf to Google News and generally click on the first link...
I gave up on Google News years ago when it became obvious it was being gamed by propagandistic 'news' outlets like Fox News and Newsmax to get their biased (or outright lying) headline as the large leading one on top of any story even remotely connected to politics, economics, military action, or women's rights. Google never bothered to address the gaming, so it's not even worth pulling up anymore.
No country or company in their right mind will ever trust a U.S. company with sensitive data ever again, and most of the companies that currently do are likely just biding time until they can find a non-U.S. based alternative (or some way to heavily encrypt their data).
The US government is the most untrustworthy government - except for all the others.

If the goog loses this case, the paid-for Capitol Hill whores will make sure even very concept of a Class Action lawsuit will be rendered illegal.
Now, please rise for the Corporate National Anthem (C).
Yes, and either during its construction or within 3 months of completion, the US will be tapped into it, gathering every photon possible.

I still can't trust them anymore.

The way the Brits pronounce 'yoghurt' has always creeped me out; it sounds like said product is backing up on them.
Whereas 'aluminium' sounds as if they've gotten lost halfway through.

Phone cables don't cut and splice themselves, pal.

Lame. Go with something more accurate: GATTACA.
It's okay guys; just shout "Four-dimensional Time Cube!" and give over to the delicious madness.
It ain't mainstream until the NSA asks / forces you to build in a backdoor.

That's a big assumption; they may have just finally got around the electing Best Pope.
Yes, 'hauled away'... somewhere... somewhere else... someone else's problem...

The fines will merely paid from the budget entry titled: The Cost Of Doing Business.
Dollar-wise, it's right below the amount spent on office chairs.
Not just Linus himself, but also his sole hard drive!
This is what concerns me about Linux: a single egg-basket so threadbare as to be nearly see-through.
