No. Intel's i486SX was a modified Intel 486DX microprocessor with its floating-point unit (FPU) disabled. It was intended as a lower-cost CPU for use in low-end systems.
wireless mice don't seem to work with my hand for some reason. It's like my hand is blocking the signal.
touchless sinks are the same way. it takes me longer to get the water started than it took for me to shit.
I really hate the latency on a lot of modern devices. My microwave for example, requires each button to be held in for about half a second before it registers. I just want to cook my food, and don't like waiting for the button delay capacitors to charge a few times.
My car's XM radio interface has so much lag that i canceled my service. My dad's new TV has so much lag, then even he couldn't figure out how to turn it on/off. I discovered he wasn't holding the power button down long enough. WTF? This isn't the future i was hoping for.
It's the most common type of call I get now. I support over 1,000 users at various companies around my city and most are using application whitelisting and don't know their own admin passwords, so it's pretty much impossible for them to execute a real virus, the these javascript tricks are scaring them left and right. I get a call almost every day over it. They are so upset they can't settle down long enough for me to tell them "restart windows". When they finally listen to me and restart windows, they wont let me off the phone until after windows has restarted and they see facebook still works.
I once had 16 customers running ubuntu linux. I am a full time professional computer consultant with a few hundred regular residential customers. When Vista came out, I thought this was going to be the end of microsoft, so I started looking for alternatives and landed on Ubuntu. I setup a computer at home to learn it myself, and started installing it for customers that only needed a web browser. I spent WAY more time than was acceptable on issues like flash-based games and printer support and streaming TV that all should have "just worked" but didn't. I can't imagine supporting people that expect to do things like scanning and mail-merge and burning cd/dvd and editing videos and/or pictures and syncing with their iPhones like a lot of my other customers do effortlessly with their windows computers. I played with a few different popular flavors but never found one better than Ubuntu (at that time), so I finally decided Linux was not worth all the extra unbillable hours I was working, and switched all 16 customers back to windows. Every time a new distro makes it's way to the top of the list, my eyes get big, and sometimes i'll install it in a VM, but the "just works" factor just isn't there yet.
I still use headless linux servers in production for about 10 of my business customers for things like email servers, web servers, dns servers, but i'm starting to use it less there too because hMailServer smokes postfix and IIS smokes Apache in the "just works" factor, which became a lot more important to me after I had a kid and my time became more valuable to me. Webmin helps A LOT with the "just works" factor, and if it wasn't for webmin, I probably would have already switched most these linux servers back to windows servers. I love spending dozens of hours troubleshooting linux issues just as much as the next linux geek, but it's different when it's for a customer and I can't bill all those hours.
I also run my own I.T. business, and I service about 300 small businesses, so about 1,000 computers. I'd say about 1/3 of the computers that upgraded to win10 are now back on win7 because win10 crashed itself. A lot of the users don't even have admin permissions to their own computers, so I KNOW it's not their fault. Windows 10 just crashes itself over time. Windows 7 doesn't. I hope microsoft gets that fixed before win7 goes obsolete in year 2020.
Hope it works out better than the digital television transition in the United States in 2009. I went from having 6 usable channels to about 20 unusable channels and 1 usable channel. I bought a huge 30' tall 10' wide outdoor antenna, a good amp, and tried 3 different brand receivers before giving up and getting rid of all my TVs and switching to torrented content. I would be in the middle of a show and it would start cutting out as the clouds moved by. It always cut out at the most frustrating times. I also hated the huge delay required to switch channels. I would be so pissed if they made FM useless. I guess i'd have to get an MP3 player for my car and spend a lot of time keeping it updated with the latest music.
really? I'll never trust any review from that website just because of their SSD article. The samsung evo is a TLC SSD that is infamous for it's low reliability and firmware problems, and it's the last SSD I'd ever recommend. The samsung 830,840,850 PRO however deserves first place. The authors should be fired. Also, most people don't need 512GB or more. I've installed hundreds of SSDs for businesses as well as residential and 95% of them use less than 40GB, so I go with 128GB drives.

I pulled a VERY similar stunt except the content was highly sexual, and was "from" the principal and to a female teacher, and I got kicked out of the National Honor Society and 2 weeks suspension.
geostationary orbit is 35,786km above sea level.
so round trip would be 71,572km.
speed of light is exactly 300,000km/second.
(it's exact because the definition of a meter is based on speed of light)
300,000 / 71,572 = 0.23857333 seconds
or 239ms.
100ms equipment overhead? are you using a 1200b/s serial cable to connect to your satellite modem? i can ping google at 14ms. surely the backbone connection at the base station can beat my connection. 239+14=253ms theoretical speed. i expect no more than 300ms even during the busy time of the day.
yes! i agree! talking on the phone is SO inefficient! the problem is, both parties have to have free time, at the same time. this is good if both parties are not doing anything more than 50% of the time! I've considered hiring somebody just to talk on the phone and transcribe it to email for me. I have a hard time getting people off the phone without being rude too. yes, my grandmother is doing fine. yes, I'm staying busy.
my local college gave me the run around trying to graduate. i had over 100 hours and straight A's but they kept changing the degree plan until i dropped out without even a 2yr degree. I applied at every computer store around, which was only 3. they all laughed at me. that's when i started my own business. that was 10 years ago. since then, i have put them all out of business. and i did it without ever advertising. all word of mouth. i do all the work for practically every business in the city (a little over 100). it wasn't easy, sometimes i work 16 hours/day, 7 days/week. I'm so happy today, i wouldn't work for somebody else for twice the salary. now if i can just figure out how to get rich too...
