I've heard that 10.4.4 can also break apps using Metal graphics (the Mac equivalent to DirectX or Vulkan). So if you are using your Mac to play games (other than Photoshop), you might want to hold off on that upgrade. That rules me out, since the only Macs good enough for gaming these days have screens glued on or RAM soldered down.
So how do they handle address conflicts? I've been a dev on a highly I2C'ed system, and while there are also electrical issues to having lots of devices, the big one is how you set an address. Most chips only have two or three address select pins, if that many. Even if you use a microprocessor as the slave device, there still needs to be a way to configure it. About the only truly reliable way for a hobby-brick system is gating SCL for each device.
That reminds me of my college days. They still used PL/I as the main language for classes, and then I started learning Pascal. Trust me, it's a serious mindfuck trying to use both of those at the same time.
So what's next, forums? Usenet? RSS? As I was reading all the replies, I'd think of something like "this is the new vinyl", scroll down, and see that someone had already said that! Have we finally reached Peak Facebook, and it's time for them to join GeoCities, MySpace and Digg?
I have been faithfully resisting joining FakeBook all these years, and it looks like I may be one of the cool kids soon. It's time to get to work setting up a blog on my domain/web site that I've had since the dotcom era!
Producers of aluminum cans should be falling all over themselves trying to buy used aluminum cans, because it costs 70% less to produce an aluminum can from an aluminum can than it does to dig a bunch of ore out of the ground.
Do you have a source that says they aren't? I take all my cans, crush them to save space, then tie them up into large plastic shopping bags, which I try to save for the next pile of cans. Then I take them to a recycling place that pays me a few dollars for them, probably a few pennies per can. I think I estimated once that it's about 2-3 cents per can. But mostly I do it because I know that soda can aluminum is one of the few recyclables that's worth the effort, since aluminum is such a pain in the ass to separate from its oxide form. I put clean paper and steel cans (and a few aluminum non-soda cans) into the weekly recycling bin, and sometimes chunks of ABS from taking apart electronics junk too. At least I know that the steel cans are economically neutral and easily sorted with a magnet from that "single stream" bullshit. If the paper gets burned, at least that keeps it out of the landfill.
The reason that this has all fallen apart is that starry-eyed liberals in city governments thought that if they believed in unicorns, er, I mean single-stream recycling, hard enough, it would come true. And it didn't. Even if it could have worked, half of the population has below average intelligence, and doesn't give enough of a fuck to keep out trash that doesn't belong, like greasy cheesy pizza boxes. But I guess at least those will burn well.
They can't wait to show copies of your stream to the rest of the world... with appropriate ads, of course. If they can stream it to the player, they can stream it to anyone. What did you think, they were doing this out of the goodness of their hearts?
Then it's a good joke, because I'm in a GF city, and I'm not even on the map. Their map has anywhere not in the main city limits represented by a complete void.
What I have read is that the only indication is that the trim wheel (not in the pilot's/copilot's line of sight, it's at the base of the throttle controls, and apparently only on the copilot side) starts moving. The problem is that MCAS makes it move too far. And while it is supposedly somewhat audible, it isn't so audible if alarms are blaring and crew is trying to communicate over the alarms. You can deactivate it by either setting the stabilizer trim to manual, or disengaging the autopilot. Since the Lion Air incident, many pilots who fly the 737 MAX know this. But it's not a training item, so many of them don't know about it.
There's a particular store brand of breaded chicken nuggets I like (actual breast pieces, not that chopped up garbage). Every now and then, maybe 1 in 25-50 or so, I'd get one that my best description for it is "squnchy". Sort of squishy and crunchy at the same time. I thought it might have been somehow overcooked in the microwave or maybe it was some kind of freezer burn, but all this sounds rather like what I've encountered.
Cheap aluminum from the moon? Do you know that aluminum is one of the most common elements on the earth? The only expensive part is smelting it into a pure metal, since it loves to oxidize so much. Even if you did it on the moon (with that wonderful sunlight 15 days out of each month), the cost to bring it back would be a deal-breaker. Just properly recycle your cans, that's a much more efficient way to get aluminum. And power from solar cells? Sure, buddy, just as soon as we set up that high-voltage power transmission wire all the way to the moon.
But you mentioned 3He (and wrote it incorrectly too), which is one of the more obvious signs of being a space nutter. We aren't anywhere near commercial fusion power yet, and it's not a first-generation fusion fuel. It's more economical to extract uranium from seawater. There's literally nothing else you can do with it, unless you want to monopolize the party balloon industry.
This makes no sense since DST does not apply in winter.
Did you miss the part where he said "the last time the USA got rid of daylight-savings time"? Apparently this was a "summer time year round" situation. I would have been a little kid on a 30-minute school bus ride at the time (rural school because living in a subdivision in the middle of nowhere), so that's probably why I don't remember it. I was in the middle of Central Time at the time, and ended up settling down around the same longitude in my adult life. But I did spend one year on the eastern side of Central Time, and holy crap the sun came up early. It may only have been half an hour, but I noticed it.
I thought it was the Big Candy that pushed for the dates to change. Apparently in significant parts of the US, Halloween is done before sunset, and this pushed the clock change date into November. However, in Texas we've traditionally done our trick-or-treating after sunset, so that basically killed it here.
Meanwhile, what's left of the drive-in movie lobby is down at the bar, crying in their beer. All they need to push them over the edge is for DST to stop in favor of summer time all year around.
DST was never intended to "save power", unless you're saying that you're as dumb as Dubya, who fell for that argument when he signed the bill that changed the dates back in 2007 or so. It saves "daylight", that's what it says on. People with central air conditioning and 95F+ summers don't turn it off when they're away during the day anyhow, and need it on at night too.
A couple of years of either the summer sun waking you up two hours before you have to leave for work, or having to commute in the dark in winter (depending on which setting it gets left at), should have you crying to get it back, especially if you're in a northern latitude, where the swing of sunrise time is much wider. DST evens out the mornings between summer and winter, bringing the day closer to what it would be if you started at sunrise all the time. Fixing it to an arbitrary clock (even solar noon) instead of sunrise is the problem, whether or not you use DST.
I happen to like the sun staying out until 9PM during the summer, while having an actual morning in the winter. I'm also an early riser, so the spring switch works well for me. I was sleepy almost an hour before my usual bedtime last night, so I just rolled with it. It's the waking up an hour later in the fall that I usually have problems with for a few days. I think most people are the other way around.
If you're lucky they all get replaced by then or die from hardware failure. Or you could maintain an offset date by subtracting 50 years and paying attention every Feb 29/Mar 1. Or maybe you can throw Linux onto them!
It's not exactly a new problem. I have some old TRS-80 stuff where TRSDOS/LDOS stored the date year as a 3-bit number plus 1980.

They don't fuck up my throat like secondhand smoke from a real cig does. That's what I care about the most.
But you could upgrade them two years later without throwing away your whole computer and a large LCD monitor.
Have you ever heard of "gray water"? These things don't need to be clean enough to drink out of.
