I agree. Does nobody remember what those indestructible Nokia dumbphones were made from? High quality plastic all the way and you had to place it on the side to be able to destroy it by driving over it with a tractor.
It's really interesting how quality feel and real quality mismatch. Bendy plastic absorbs drops way better then solid stainless steel. Steel mostly transfers the energy to the screen, which cracks. Or it deforms permanently. Properly designed plastic pops off and can then be popped back.
How? The data is in the hands of the other. Would you propose hacking them to get that data off their servers? That might land them in legal hot water.
Even at over 100C you don't cook. I have been in a low humidity 105C sauna when I was younger. Sessions of over an hour. You have to build up to it or your sweat glands won't be able to keep up.
Step 1. Stream audio to left earbud with Bluetooth. Step 2. Stream audio from left to right earbud with this technology. Step 3. Mass production. Step 4. Market. Step 5. Sell Step 6. Profit.
I don't know why they just make a new sub protocol under Bluetooth that supports two single channel audio connections. This may be because I don't know much about the details of Bluetooth
You get what you pay for with IKEA. In fact, if you compare their stuff to similarly priced stuff you get a lot more than you pay for.
You can buy real wood furniture from them and it lasts far longer. It's not even that much more expensive. Especially if you cheat and glue the pieces in addition to screwing them together with the included stuff. The main disadvantage to gluing is that you can't take it apart to move it but you can't do that too often anyway.
Old IKEA furniture can often have a new lease on life if you take it apart and glue it back together with a polyurethane based glue (often called filling glue). Cheap and relatively easy. Note: take lots of pictures while taking it apart. Those pictures in reverse are your manual (since the original manual is probably lost).
Most plastics (including food grade) are remarkably resilient to acid. Now metal, that is a different story. Wise people don't put acidic foodstufs in metal. Not even stainless steel (not SS316(L), not Hasteloy, not Duplex nothing).
I believe the biggest difference between glass bottles of honey and plastic bottles is that much of the stuff in plastic bottles is sugarwater with some flavor additives. Glass bottles are often considered premium so the manufacturers don't do that. The "fake" honey doesn't include all the flavor chemicals that real honey does, just like candy cherries do not have the same flavor as real cherries. Mind you: I don't think this would be a bad thing per se, but the manufacturers would need to put it on the bottle. "I can't believe it's not honey!" "Honey substitute".
I have no clue why game meat is excluded but I have 2 points: 1. In cows the BSE prion can survive everything short of 3 hours at 1000C (must be done in an oxygen free environment). Prions can be seen as primitive virusses. This is not a risk in game. 2. Back in the stone age miscarriage and infant death were far higher. We have really solved much there, partly because we now know what not to do while pregnant.
Irrelevant. I, and most people I know, did not spend $10 a month on CD's. We downloaded MP3s (back then this was legal 'round here) In my specific case they went from getting $0.00 per track per time I listened to them to getting somewhere between $0.006 and $0.0084 per track per time I listen to it. That's a lot more.
Tick is smaller structures. Tock is new architecture.
Each new architecture is optimized for the most common tasks at that time, together with a bazillion other changes. If they figure out a general optimization technique that still works with the x86 instruction set in the mean time, they'll go for it.
The problem with some optimizations is that they do not work with the x86 instruction set. Abandoning that instruction set is expensive, although we are doing it with the ARM chips in phones and tablets. Slowly it is working it's way to cloud based computing.
Dumping a gun in a trash can or river is fast. Grinding it to filings is not fast. Now I don't know how fast the cops often gets the perpetrator but I imagine some crooks are afraid they'd get caught before grinding it down. Also, grinding it down is a lot of work. People are lazy. The serial number can be filed down before the crime.
Replace those damn coal plants with nuclear plants. It lowers the amount of radioactive material the power plant produces. Many coal plants even dump all of their radioactive material in the atmosphere as a component in the dust. Others filter the dust out and sell it as a filler for concrete and plaster. Including the radioactive materials.
Lower the amount of radioactive materials around us. Build nuclear plants!
Why was Seagate sued for using the correct amount? The SI prefixes are older then the use of them in computing. "Mega" was standardized in 1960. Now as to why they were abused to mean powers of 2: I can understand that. However that abuse does not mean you should sue the guys that get it right.
I actually agree with some of the sentiment of the manufacturers. Most users can't handle root so you shouldn't give it to them. Manufacturers can't just work with nerds who can handle it. Ordinary users will mess things up and complain to the manufacturer about it. However it should be a setting like "unknown sources" where those that choose it can activate it. At their own risk of course.

You know you can append your search with "-silentcoder" to exclude all results that contain the string "silentcoder", right?
They didn't disclose any abusable data here.
How? The data is in the hands of the other. Would you propose hacking them to get that data off their servers? That might land them in legal hot water.
Literally translated: "pour on". As in pour water over the heater so it evaporates and increases the air humidity.
Even at over 100C you don't cook. I have been in a low humidity 105C sauna when I was younger. Sessions of over an hour.

Well, they do say laughter is a good medicine so horoscopes could add something.

I'd want a detachable one, if only for the "can you give me a hand" jokes.
That depends on your frame of reference.

My employer is allowed to monitor all I do on their hardware. It is their hardware on their network in the time they pay me for.
Curiosity killed the credit rating.

It also doesn't state whether this technique works after the etching technique failed.
It's even less clear than an IP address.
The article does not mention if this still works after the common acid test failed.

Haven't seen that specific case but yeah I have seen some equipment that made me go "?!? How did this design pass checks?"
