By that definition, "The World's Oldest Scientific Satellite is Still in Orbit" is always, meaninglessly, true until there is literally no scientific satellite left at all.
My LG L40 can receive FM without connecting an external antenna. I wonder why this isn't possible in a device that costs many times that from the same manufacturer...
This site caters to people that think tape is some archaic thing nobody uses, because audio tapes, VHS and the likes went away. Those are the people that produce ad impressions.
Sorry, but that would a) require basic technical competence, b) doesn't generate ad revenue and c) doesn't make the UI look more modern(*), so it's low priority. Don't hold your breath.
(*) Noticed how the moderation dropdown is now a uselessly flat, javascript driven dropdown, once you click it?
I for one am tired of the other way -- where the name of the software tries to communicate how amazing it is. That kind of software generally turns out to be crap -- eh, i mean, HyperCrap Pro Ultimate++ Superdooper edition 2018.
That'll work fine... up until nearly all content requires it. It WILL be extended beyond simple multimedia. There is already talk about using it to prevent adblockers and end-user avoidance of online tracking. That will not happen right away, because it has to be normalized first. But it will happen.
This will eat the internet, in time. Wait, and watch. You'll see.
So in other words, nothing visibly changes for Joe Sixpack.
Ya, but I know my electricity bill is currently pretty trivial even with my computer on all day every day.
That's likely because you have a reasonably modern CPU and it's sitting idle 99% of the time. Max it out for a month, wait for your electricity bill and shit bricks.
Remember when there used to be payphones all over the place, so if you had an emergency or ran out of gas or something, you could call for help? Good luck finding one of those now.
Those payphones have just been upgraded. They now appear in the form of humans with phones in their pockets. The operating procedure has also been modified -- instead of inserting coins into a machine, you insert words into a human -- along the lines of "Excuse me, I'm in an emergency; would you please let me use your phone for a second?" The best part: It's usually free! Related life-hack: Instead of asking the first walking phone booth you encounter, wait for an attractive, female specimen and then use the opportunity to add add your num-- oh wait, never mind.

But you can't verify that the design you're looking at is what the plant actually implemented on the chip.

Truth
ok
Presumably less than telescope atop an active volcano...
Could be, though the G6 is substantially bigger (a bit thinner though) and has 8.7 cm^3 more volume than the L40

a toaster that runs Linux
I'm afraid you'll need NetBSD for that.
The issue are controls that aren't immediately recognizable as controls.
I don't think it has anything to do with hurting delicate eyeballs.
Oh and you may want to learn how to spell "affect".

This isn't a tech news site, it's an ad provider.
I think using past tense is a bad choice here
I think OP agrees, since they haven't used any past tense...
Are you trying to say that those aren't archaic?
I have no real opinion on your ideas and thus don't really care whether or not I receive your newsletter.
I guess it's mobile devices doing it just because they can. ASCII is so archaic.
Yea but it really isn't a problem because you can just manually configure things back to a working state.

It's a /. account setting that has nothing to do with where the input comes from.
I know that, I just looks weird and un-unixish to capitalize it. The binary is called bash, the documentation uses Bash or bash.
Same here, why do you spell bash in all caps?
I need a different keyboard because the default keyboard doesn't have a ton of standard keys.
