Sorry, but "AA battery" is how we commonly write it.
If you want to be pedantic and avoid ambiguation with war machines, then the correct nomenclature would be "AA cell", as a single cell cannot form a battery.
If you really, really want to be an ass, then call it an IEC LR6 or an ANSI 15A.
But spelling out like double-A? So the series goes:
A Double-A AAA AAAA
?
No. Get out. And then get the fuck off of my lawn.
My stratum 1 server also receives timing from the Russian glonass constellation. American GPS is not the only game in town, and hasn't been for many years.
Later, my parents scored a garage sale Vic-20, and Grandpa passed down a different Model I: This had two double-sided floppies, a wide-carriage line printer, and a 64k expansion.
Sometime around 1988, a 10MHz XT happened. Never looked back.
First word: Internet. We know what this means, right?
Second word: Of. Do we need remedial English here, too?
Third word: Things. Not specified is if they are large things, small things, proxied things, firewalled things, publicly-routable things, or other things. They're just things, ultimately connected to the Internet.
As a kid, my first soldering irons came from Radio Shack, as did the parts for the projects I'd put together.
And while I'm plenty damned old (get off my lawn!, etc), this was in the 90s.
Later on as a quasi-professional-sort-of-guy, I'd regularly buy odds and ends from them out in the field. Need an SMA adapter? Radio Shack. An audio isolation transformer? Radio Shack had a fairly decent one. A bunch of 160 Ohm resistors? Done. A bipolar electrolytic capacitor of who-gives-a-shit value, a toggle switch, and a small plastic box with a lid? No problem. A 75-Ohm BNC terminator? Probably not, but they had BNC connectors and they had 75-Ohm resistors, so...easy-peasy. A 7 Amp slow-blow glass 250VAC fuse? Sure. The funky tiny little 12V alkaline battery that runs the keyfob for my car? [...]
The biggest problem I had with Radio Shack was once they decided they were going to be a cell phone store above all else, as any clue that the staff may have had immediately dissipated (as clues must naturally do whenever one is in the primary business of selling telephones). It eventually got to the point that they lost the ability to know their own inventory, and I had to take to looking up their own inventory online and showing them that they have twelve in stock of the things that they insist do not exist.
For me, for awhile, it was more like the corner hardware store that every town should have. I never buy anything very expensive at the my local Ace Hardware either, but if I want help finding a good shovel with a straight-grained handle that's where I go. The coffee pot broke at work one day, so the boss sent me to Ace Hardware for a new one -- and of course, they had an exact replacement (though I was pretty surprised at the time). A 10-32x3/4" button-head socket cap screw? Done. A hundred of them? Sure. Busbar? Yep. Nails? By the pound. Hog ring pliers to fix the seat in my car? Sixteen half-inch wedge anchors? A corkscrew? A clevis hitch, sixty feet of 3/16" galvanized chain, an M8 wingnut, a bunch of rubber hose, some of those special gloves that you use for handling razor wire, an ice pick, a hacksaw, and twenty pounds of lye? Of course.
They greet me by name every time I walk in the place, having only read my name one time on my credit card. (I really should shop out of town and pay cash when buying special gloves and hacksaws together...) It's a wonderful place to buy all kinds of stuff.
I've still got Ace Hardwares all over to utilize, but I'm well and truly fucked if I need electronic components out in the field with Radio Shack being gone. Lately, my best option is to hit up small-time AV shops that might still have a repair bench and essentially beg them for parts....or wait for Teh Interwebs to deliver and come back another day.
Olive Garden: Prepared and frozen in a factory, and then thawed out just for you!
You're already paying them to warm up a TV dinner/pasta-in-a-bag meal for you. The main difference between Olive Garden and McDonald's is pricing and plating: It's the same factory-food, either way.
There's plenty of places (some near you, no doubt) which do offer fresh food, and service to match. Olive Garden is not amongst them.
Please pick something worthwhile to complain about other than a corporate chain behaving like a corporate chain, and stop embarrassing your wife.
We've been through this before: It wouldn't have helped.
Sure, it'd have fixed the fire problem for people who follow the rules. But it'd still be banned from commercial flights because there's no way in hell an airline will inspect the battery to ensure that it has been properly replaced and is of the correct vintage.
Furthermore, plenty of folks (myself included, because I'm daft like that) would have refused to return the old, too-big battery and kept it as a spare.
As much as I want easily-swapped batteries in all of my devices, it wouldn't have made much of a difference here.
Now that the smoke is clearing I may look into a fire-sale Note 7 just to futz with as a semi-pocketable tablet with a stylus.
But that's an interesting tangent, since all of the current Windows run essentially the same kernel, and pretty much all of the IP stack was borrowed from BSD...
All of the TV news channels stopped doing news and started being a death-reel on 9/11/2001. And they never recovered because that was also the same time that they universally adopted "the crawler" as an excuse for presenting news on one more than one topic per day. The original programming that came after the horrors died down and ratings faltered followed the path of so many others like (first and foremost) MTV and Discovery and History, with pre-recorded reality TV interspersed with live talking heads speaking their minds instead of telling me about the world today.
I mean, best case: I like Jay Leno's Garage and Anthony Bourdain's various shows but that's not news. It doesn't belong on a news channel.

Not much stops me from buying some clothes off of the rack at Macy's and returning them (used) a week later...with tags.
Er...
Crashplan works automatically in this configuration. Once set up, you just let it do its thing without interaction.

Sortof, I suppose.
I interpret it to mean that QC4+ chargers must also support USB-PD.
I don't see anything suggesting, one way or the other, as to whether handsets and other devices that use QC4+ must not also include USB-PD.
For all we know, a device may support both. Or not. We don't know.
If there were something negative to write about its performance as a communications device, someone would write about it.

First was a TRS-80 Model I, too. Tape drive.

I pay for Prime anyway. For my town,this comes with Prime Now - free 2 hour delivery. $20 minimum, tipping the driver is suggested.
Prices on everything from a single bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola ($0.59) to toothbrushes are cheaper this way than at Walmart.
So I'm saving money and being lazy at the same time. (They even deliver beer)
IoT. Internet of Things.

It's a very inclusive term.
We can't measure against what they could have been, because we cannot know how that road would have played out.
You're presenting speculation and opinion as fact.
Come back with a real argument, mmkay?
They sure do! I'll just drive 2000 miles to the nearest Fry's, that'll solve the problem!
So every hacked console, ever (which is just about all of them except the current gen), was a dismal failure?

Isn't BTRFS's built in RAID still broken?

I don't know if you can use registered mail for parcels originating in Germany.
But the real fuckup is that it was sent via DHL. It got fucked in the handover from DHL to USPS (the delivery agent) somewhere in New Jersey.
Registered airmail with Deutsche Post, if even possible, would've cost a fortune. But then the box was worth a fortune, so...
Weak sauce.

I already Godwin'd the thing just by showing up.

The state of consumer electronics and small computers is indeed reprehensible.
But what does this have to do with Android using Linux, and Linux being only a kernel?
I think that you are confusing user land and kernel land.
Linux is not an operating system. It is just a kernel.
Ubuntu is an operating system. It generally include the Linux kernel and a mostly GNU user land.
But Ubuntu isn't Linux; it also runs on Windows.
Only Linux is Linux. And Android uses Linux for a kernel.
