Come back to me when the EC180 has passed regulatory tests for the EU and USA so it can be sold in both those markets. I put it to you that an unsafe heap of junk is much easier to manufacture in volume.
Further for lots of firms even if it is a regular power cut you are mainly foobar anyway till the power comes back. So imagine you are a law firm and the power goes out. If the file server has shut down and the email is out who gives a fly f%^k anyway because everyone is going to be sitting their twiddling their thumbs till the power comes back anyway. They might have a laptop, but guess what the WiFi is down because the power is down.
Happened to me last year at work. I had to grab a laptop, put my mobile into hotspot mode, took a peak at my HPC system to make sure the UPS and generator had kicked in and nothing had gone down, then sat back waiting for the power to return.
A quick check on amazon.co.uk shows that I can get from Amazon themselves 512GB SD cards from SanDisk, Kingston and PNY.
You can also get from SanDisk a 400GB microSD card, and Integral do a 512GB microSD, though I am not sure the uplift in price from 400GB is worth it.
Can't see anything from Samsung on a quick Google, but 512GB is a thing, though I guess demand is quite limited.
I have 32GB onboard on my phone and a 128GB card for all my audiobooks and photos/videos. Nice to see the price for higher capacities has dropped somewhat in the last 9 months. You can get 256GB microSD for the price I paid for 128GB now.
No the metal can be automatically separated from the plastic using electromagnetism. Firstly remove all the ferrous metal with a large electromagnet. Secondly remove all the none ferrous metal from the plastic using electromagnetic induction which makes the metal magnetic and can then be removed magnetically.
I have said it before and I will say it again. The problem is not the plastic straws, but the filthy dirty disgusting people that don't dispose of them properly. A straw in the ocean is a straw that didn't go in the waste, let alone in the recycling.
Just because Ethernet can do 10Gbps over Cat6a does not mean you have to. If you want to run it at 10Mbps that is just fine and there are plenty of switches available that still support it.
You could also use 802.3bw if you wanted, with the advantage of it actually being still ethernet but only needing a single pair.
But a Nissan Leaf is also electric, just does not have the range of a Tesla. It however has enough for commuting and is a cheaper. So if you are buying an electric vehicle for commuting to work and nothing else a Tesla does not make economic sense.
This is the UK. It is 100% certain that the police will be facing investigation, because there will have been a complaint made previously which is now unblocked by the end of legal proceedings. If they made a sworn affidavit that pre trial that is contradicted by the video evidence they are guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice and if the CPE fails to prosecute they will be for the high jump too.
On the other hand if you have convictions for drug possession, and handling stolen goods, are with good reason believed to be a gang member, have taken possession of an illegal hand gun then you put yourself in harms way and if you end up dead frankly you have only yourself to blame.
A Type 3 font might be a program. A Type1 font which is what most people actually use is not a program at all, just a series of curves and straight lines, with a list of options for hinting and kerneling the font.
TrueType fonts on the other hand have an embedded program in the form of a bytecode that can morph the shape of the font so that it better fits on a specific "pixel" grid aka hit it. Actually it can arbitrarily modify the font.
Interestingly Windows has an API (at least in Win16 not sure if it made it to later variants) that can let you recover the curves and lines of an arbitrary character of a given font. It would be realitvely trivial to write a Windows program to get the outlines of a TrueType font, convert the quadratic to cubic splines and spit out a Type1 font that in the USA would be copyright free. You would be down the hinting and kerneling, but you could probably recover the kerneling by getting windows to render all the different two letter combinations and looking at the size difference over the individual letters. That just leaves you down the hinting, which if you have a HiDPI display is somewhat mute.
Yeah except underground trains with much higher capacity that are faster and a frequency of say ~5 minutes already exist in multiple cities around the world.
The BBC are streaming the World Cup matches from Russia in 4K HDR at 50fps and are advising that a 40Mbps connection is required. I am golden with a 80/20Mbps VDSL2 stream that delivers 80/20 Mbps and I presume a compatible TV. At least I could watch the Blue Planet 2 in 4K HDR over the Christmas period. So I can watch England go out on penalties again:-)
Perhaps you don't care about sport or other live events, but lots of people do.
The reality is that we have the means right now to make new codecs unnecessary, which just need to invest in the infrastructure to actually lay the fibre.
The easiest method is to run a single phase electric motor that is hooked up to a three phase generator. Though a quick check on eBay shows that solid state ones are readily available.
You clearly have no idea how expensive *ANY* cancer treatment is. Google tells me that in the USA breast cancer will cost $24k for the initial treatment and then $2.2k for continuing treatment and this is one of the less expensive cancers to treat.
Right now it is expensive because it is experimental. Don't expect it to stay that way. Heck 10 years ago the analysis of the DNA in the tumor would have cost millions and would have made even the experimental treatment impossible now it would cost around $1k.
The biggest problem with the treatment right now is they have only done it on one patient. As such we have no idea if it was the treatment or just spontaneous remission. Next stage is to replicate the result in a small cohort of patents (~20-30) to see if it really does work more generally. You can then start to look at a wider clinical trial (a few hundred to thousands). All this will take a long time, during which the cost will come down.
Most legal jurisdictions would see "swatting" as reckless endangerment. That is they pursued a course of action that a reasonable person would recognize as putting someone is harms way. Again most legal jurisdictions around the world will if the reckless endangerment has lead to a death punish those responsible severely. This is usually seen as manslaughter, 2nd degree murder or a similar offence. The major exception is if you are driving a vehicle where the is for reasons I personally don't accept treated differently with lower sentences. Even then substantial custodial sentences can be accepted. That those involved in the swatting didn't see that coming is utterly irrelevant; ignorance of the law is no defense in front of the law is basic law 101 in 99% of legal jurisdictions around the world.
Whether the police officer who took the shot should also be prosecuted is an entirely separate matter. From what I have heard he needs locking up too for gross dereliction of duty. However as I said makes no difference to the swatters who are justly being pursued to the full extent of the law.
I have always presumed that any self driving car would be doing the whole multispectral thing in addition to Lidar. So when you can start seeing in infrared, thermal and ultraviolet get back to me.
Sure the dashcam footage of the incident gave a misleading impression of the scene, but that does not mean it gives an accurate impression of what the car saw either. Or one at least hopes Uber where using something a bit better than a cheap dashcam for the AI. Then again who knows, this is Uber we are talking about and they cheaped out on having two people in the car.
Thing is Skylon has not had $10 billion dollars. In fact it has had less money that SpaceX. It recently got $125 million (might have be GBP) to develop the engine. But hey don't let facts get in the way.
I am not remotely a Brexiter, I am the total opposite in fact. I don't respect the outcome of the second referendum on Europe because the Brexiters never respected the first, and role on a third.
In the meantime sure the module could be replaced. Any ideas how to do that on satellites in orbit?
Thing is Skylon is progressing and should it get to flight then SpaceX would be under the same pressures as Ariane and ULA are now.
A better gamble than Ariane 6 would have been to go full on with Reaction Engines/Skylon. However Brexit has probably screwed that option now. With space in Europe going down the pan over the row about Galileo, where I predict the next step is the UK government will stop UK firms exporting the tech needed to run it to Europe because they are sticking to the rules about none EU countries being able to access it, crippling the system before it even goes live.
Depends. I buy shoes online and have never had to return them, well apart from the pair where the sole starting coming away after two days, but that was not for fit, they where faulty.
On the other hand I am only on my third style of shoe (well main every day ones that is) in over 30 years now. I can still also purchase the older two styles if I wanted. So new pair of shoes, hop on the Clarks website order them up for delivery to store. In a couple of days pop out at lunch and pick them up. Basically I know if I buy a particular size of Clarks shoes they will just "fit". It is so much better than going in., them not having my size in stock in the style I want coming back a few days later etc.
Clothing is a bit more hit and miss, but mostly I can order stuff up and it just fits. At least from the retailers that I use.
On the other hand for women it is a complete nightmare. The idea that you can get the same pair of shoes even next year is a complete none starter, let alone 30 years later.
Actually if you read the source of the toshiba character driver in the Linux kernel (you might need to pick an older kernel as it may well have been dropped by now) then you will see that I actually block the calls to fiddle with memory. I forgot that it's worse than just being able to read it, you can write it too!!! They also have wacky functions to fiddle with PCI as well.
These days it's usually done via the ACPI interface using HCI methods but as I said deep down the ACPI code eventually just reads from port 0xb2 to drop the machine into SMM to get the actual work done.
This is the U.K. you would loose your license if you did a US style talk radio show in the UK pretty dam quick. All broadcast media must by law be impartial, no ifs and no buts. I really wish they would chuck RT for that matter.

A seven minute delay to a flight is like being on time to begin with, so it really really matters not one jot.

That is not how the law works, anywhere. The companies lack of record in the new system does not and did not terminate the contract.

Yeah that won't work in the UK. The government became wise to that years ago.

If its thqt rural then use a mole plough. Its not 1000 times more expensive, and much better tha long outages.
