Most noticeable thing for me with the WCDMA HSPA (3G) to LTE (4G) transition was better battery life and the phone not running so hot when using mobile data. The latency is better, but it was already acceptable with 3G.
So it can be changed in another buried setting that I have to fuck around searching for and won't remember. Lovely. Do I need to get another add-on to manage this like I had to get CookieBro to manage individual cookies? I really hate this dumbing down of the browser.
When I got my glass-backed S8 I thought it was going to break the moment I dropped it (I never use phone cases). I've been pleasantly surprised though - I've dropped it on tiles twice and it hasn't even cracked, whereas my S3 got screen cracking when I dropped it one time.
This is something that really shouldn't be buried like this. When using the OS name resolver, I can point it at a DNS server that I control or trust, and alter resolution with the hosts file if necessary. With TRR, it goes to a provider of Mozilla's choosing that I have no control over and have no reason to trust. This kind of stuff shouldn't be hidden in an obscure, hard-to-find setting.
Yeah, I have a Wacom Intuos5 Pen/Touch on the left, and a Logitech G502 on the right. The G502 is the best mouse I've had. I never liked the 518 that much. And yeah, liked the classic iPods that just played music with the clickwheel interface. I used an iPod Mini for music in the car for years. It was better for doing that than a phone. But iTunes turned to shit and macOS turned to shit, so now I'm using a Dell Latitude and I have no way to sync my poor old iPod.
I don't know which country/operator firmware you have, but in Australia with both generic and Telstra firmware it's been possible to completely disable Facebook at least since the Galaxy S3 and possible to completely uninstall Facebook since at least the Galaxy S8.
Nice sentiment, but the cat's out of the bag and you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Welcome to the brave new world where you have to assume anything connected to the Internet will be attacked, whether it's by your own government, another government, a competing business, a black hat, or kids doing it for the lulz. Yeah, I miss the old, friendly Internet as much as anyone, where we could run recursing DNS servers, open mail relays, TCP small services, and unencrypted web servers. But it hasn't existed for more than a decade now.
Heh, 16 millimetres is sub-micropenis territory, and 16 inches is just going to hurt her cervix, but 16 centimetres is a respectable length. You know what they say though - it ain't the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.
Platformers have been really varied as well, with lots of aesthetics and gameplay mechanics. From New Super Mario Bros U, to LIMBO, to BRAID, to Hollow Knight, to Toki Tori 2+. Platformers have been anything but dead over the last couple of decades.
The Canadian CANDU design has a small positive void coefficient and hence is banned in the US. Las time I checked, Canada was a Western country, both geographically and politically.
You're also wrong about what the experiment was supposed to do. It was supposed to test whether a coasting turbine could deliver useful amounts of power during an unscheduled reactor shutdown, not a meltdown. The experiment had been delayed repeatedly and local management was desperate to get it done. But the day they were going to do it was unusually cold, and the controller in Kiev requested that they delay it so more power was available for heating homes. This meant that there was a shift change during the experiment. At this point they really should've postponed the experiment again, but management wanted to get it done.
There was a fuckup during the shift change handover which resulted in the reactor being put into an unstable state. At this point, they still could've shut down the reactor, waited for reactivity to die down, and rescheduled the experiment. But instead they tried to bring the power level back up without going through a time-consuming (in the order of days) shutdown and restart. Of course, trying to control a nuclear reactor in an unstable state is a very bad idea.
It really comes down to botched management and trying to not let a deadline slip further at the expense of safety.
If you hate him as much as you claim, why are you driving traffic to his videos? Are you attempting to solicit dislikes? Or is this a reverse-psychology viral marketing strategy trying to drive up views on monetised videos?
Adobe? What does Adobe have to do with anything? It's true that AutoCAD is a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none, but it's still a useful tool for technical drawing. But because of that, perhaps it's a better fit for the iPad than some of the more serious tools like SolidWorks.
There was a knifing at the local Catholic girls' school the other day. Girl had been bullied for years, got sick of it, brought a knife to school, and slashed another girl's leg. Teenage girls are pretty nasty, too.
I can tell you've never been to China. Get two people together over a beer or a coffee in Shanghai and the first thing they'll start talking about is all the ways they think the government is fucking them over.
The 4-engined airliners definitely need more separation. The 747 and A380 need more separation than the 777. Relaxed ETOPS allowing more efficient twin-engined airliners to fly across the pacific is what really killed the A380 (and the A340, and the 747-8 for that matter).
Chinese cities have too many cats. It means there are hardly any birds, lizards, etc. They should be killing off strays rather than keeping them alive.
The 13-bit week number is in a completely different message format broadcast using different modulation. Using that signal will require completely new hardware, not just a firmware update. But they're likely to keep the current '70s-style signal around for a couple of decades yet.
It's mostly non-government engineering. The various systems were contracted out to engineering companies around the world specialising in the different areas. For example the main drive motors were contracted out to a Swiss company (I got to play with those babies - very sexy).
+1 funny. Possibly irrelevant off-topic anecdote, but I had some contact with the technology used in these rovers. I got to play with the kind of DC motors used for driving the wheels on Spirit and Opportunity (they were contracted out to a Swiss company) and they were very nice pieces of gear. Lots of torque, very little play. With a good controller, you could get a step response like a staircase, and trying to turn the shaft when it was holding a position, it felt like it was glued in place. They felt great in your hand as well - solid, heavy, and balanced. There's something beautiful about good engineering. It's also great that when these over-engineered beasts get designed and built for the harshest, remotest environments, the rest of us can buy them for more mundane tasks or even just for fun.
You avoid maids in China? Are you referring to house-maids, or are you using "maid" to refer to young women in general? Why are you so scared of women?
I use Samsung's browser on my phone and I have Chrome disabled (can't uninstall it unfortunately), and I've never signed in to Google on my phone. How many more people like me are there who don't count in statistics, but actually use the Samsung browser?

This is slashdot - I'm sure very few of us clicked it.

Thank you. This kind of comment is why I still come to Slashdot.

Damn, I like the E-jets a lot - far nicer to fly on than 737s. I hope Boeing doesn't screw them up.
Not everywhere - in Australia/Asia, "direct" means no stops.
