Yes, and TO is the operative word. A phone number is technically known as a DID number - Direct Inward Dial. A DID (phone number) indicates which service (not station aka phone) a call is being placed to.
DID is actually the service, not the individual BTN/WTN being forwarded into a PBX, but a lot of people use the term interchangeably.
There is no such thing as a DOD, Direct Outward Dial number.
From what I've seen the issue is not so much the headsets but the fact that graphic cards can't yet keep up with comfortable frame rates. If one needs to upgrade to an NVidia 2080 to get some halfway decent FPS, this one is going to be a hard sell unless they come in some kind of promotion.
As someone who owns a Vive, you're mostly right. No, you don't need a 2080, I have a 1070 that still runs games wonderfully and the experience is nothing short of mind blowing. I just tell everyone to at least give it a shot and don't dismiss it off hand. The experience you get of "presence" cannot be described, you just have to experience it.
Unfortunately even a 1070 along with the Vive is still a sizeable investment for most people and the prices will need to continue to fall and the hardware needs to improve before we see real mass market adoption. But it's already improved significantly since I purchased a Vive and associated PC to run it.
We're already past peak esports, league, dota2, etc. are all on the decline
Do you have stats for this? Genuinely curious, I have no idea.
the large publishers have all stopped the "we esports" part of PR for every new title (the new fad is game as a service).
Do you think that's because it is just understood at this point because it is a competitive game? Maybe we just don't need the moniker anymore? Again, I don't know, I'm not a gamer.
Its also generally questionable about whether it makes financial sense to have a dedicated space, notice how many professional teams share buildings, and rent them out to concerts.
This is actually a really great point, but, it only seats 3,500 people. So it's not like they're building a 50,000 seat football stadium. And I wonder if they'll have other uses for it?
I love reading the comments about these sites. So far I've seen half a dozen posts that say something to the effect of "He's been shilling for Intel for years, might as well make it official" then of course you come across the person who says he must be an AMD shill. What that tells me is they probably post pretty balanced reviews if they've managed to piss off both camps.
Depends on your workload. I'm atypical but my desktop workload is quite a few VMs for development, video editing, and standard desktop use (browsers and terminals). The problem is, "true gamers" aren't ever CPU bound in games, so that 5-10% IPC advantage doesn't matter in practice. So if you want to spend all that money on a super fast CPU for single-threaded performance it is wasted on gamers. The only time they aren't CPU bound is running games at 1080p at absurd refresh rates that most monitors cannot even display. There is only a small, specific set of scenarios where Intel is faster than AMD in practice for gamers.
And with that said, Ryzen SYSTEMS are far less expensive, and have ECC support (if you care). The motherboards are less expensive and the CPU are less expensive, and their motherboard chipsets/sockets last far longer than Intel, who seem to like to change the socket every generation.
This is an obvious sign that Intel took this market for granted and are realizing AMD is making serious inroads.
I don't really have a brand affinity, I used Intel CPU for years and they were great, but when I built my last system, for me, Ryzen was a CLEAR winner given my requirements. Which again, I totally agree, is not your normal, standard use case.
Your average consumer likely isn't rocking a 100Mbps+ connection
I would bet the majority of Stadia customers will have 100Mb+ connections in the US. People get hung up on average connection speeds in the US but some of that is people choosing lower speeds than the maximum available and most of these customers will be kids in relatively urban areas where DOCSIS 3.1 and fiber are routinely available. 300-500Mb/s cable modems are pretty normal these days, even in third tier cities. I used to live in a city of 50k people and the local cable provider offered 300Mb/s for $70/mo and fiber from AT&T starting at $50. At work we deploy broadband service al over the south east using local providers for direct internet access for VPN backup and we see anything from 300-500Mb/s as the standard these days from the local cable MSO. Now I live in a second tier citiy of about 600k people and I have three different gigabit options (AT&T, Google and Comcast). Neither AT&T nor Google Fiber have caps on their 1Gb service. (see here for AT&T under the "Internet 1000" plan - "No internet usage data caps").
So while the average consumer in the US might not have 100Mb/s, that does not really matter. What matters is the connection speed of Stadia customers.
If Putin retires he will be murdered and his assets taken by someone else.
Solution is simple. First, you find a successor. Someone who you generally trust from your inner circle. Then, you enter into a highly illegal act with this person, covertly. Both of you retain evidence of this event. Now you retire. If anything happens to you or your family, the information is released publicly. Then, you give your successor no good reason to go after you. When you can, you offer public support for them, but basically just lay low and enjoy retirement. Nothing to gain from killing you and lots to lose.
I didn't make this up, it was the same process Yeltsin used with Putin.
I am in the same boat, tons of raw video from iphones and various devices that I want to keep. What I recommend is just taking an external USB HDD, encrypt it with LUKS and stick it in your desk drawer at work. Then for me, once or twice a year, bring it home, mount it, rsync it, take it back to the office. This is "good enough" for me. My house is a few miles from the office so the likelihood of some event destroying both, for me, is very unlikely (nowhere near a hurricane or a fault line, tornado hitting both is basically impossible).
If it is actually a hard drive that means it has something other than an a USB interface. Remove it from its enclosure and copy using that IDE or, more likely, SATA interface. But at USB 1.1 speeds of either 1.5Mb/s or 12Mb/s ("Low Bandwidth" or "Full Speed" in USB parlance), assuming the disk is full, it would take between 2-10 days to copy all of the data.
But this illustrates a good point in digital preservation. It requires upkeep. You need to continue to move data to new formats as they become available.
I do something very similar. When I upgrade an OS or get a new machine, I just make a copy of my old home directory and put it on my nas in a backups/ directory with year + machine name (2019-03-10_pc_name). I'm usually very good about storing anything I'm actually creating either on the nas directly or in a github repo, but there's an off chance some random config file might be handy or something. I don't remember every needing to get something, but the folders are really small and it gives me peace of mind.
HiFi Berry looks really interesting, thanks for sharing that. Do you have any feedback after having owned it? Particular model you would recommend? Would you purchase again?
It pretty much is already de facto segmented by language and local norms. I don't know about you, but I use zero Chinese, Russian, Iranian, etc websites now. But segmented how, exactly? As in, no longer using one global IP address space? Or some interconnectivity, but using firewalls to filter traffic? Or literally physically separated from the internet?
There’s another possible scenario in which there is no serial number, and that is in the case of a home build. As of late, there has been a 80% or 60% receiver complete craze. In these particular cases, the gun cannot be sold or transferred and must only be for the manufacturer’s own personal use. If it is a home build manufactured by yourself, using your own equipment, for your own personal use, no serial number is required.
They're talking about the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. This is for all Title II stuff (suppressor, machine gun, etc). I assume in this case he had manufactured a short barreled rifle, which would have required registration (Form 1) with the ATF.
I just happened to be watching a video on youtube, "Dire Straights - Money for Nothing" after watching the Netflix show "The 80s" episode on music. 19.4M views and only 95K likes, or 0.48%. Despacito has 5.9B views and just over 0.5%. So I don't think that ratio is too abnormal. Most people just do not take the time to click the little button.
Agreed, it's using flat interfaces where you cannot spare a few pixels to create bevels to more clearly visually distinguish between elements. I realize that flat interface sure LOOK pretty, but the usability is objectively worse than the last generation of software applications with distinct, three dimensional controls and consistent set of toolkit widgets.
As we understand it now, the data mining and analytics company, based out of London, gained access to data on as many as 50 million Facebook profiles thanks to generous data-sharing policies Facebook app developers enjoyed back in 2014. This data, which was sold to Cambridge Analytica against Facebook’s terms of service, reportedly informed the firm’s election ad targeting toolset used by the campaign of President Donald Trump and others.
While Verizon said its wireless home Internet service will have no data caps, Verizon's "unlimited" mobile services can be throttled during times of network congestion after customers use a certain amount each month. We asked Verizon if a similar limitation will be applied to 5G home Internet and will update this story if we a get a response. We also asked Verizon for the service's upload speeds and information about what equipment will be used in the home.
(UPDATE: A Verizon spokesperson told us the service won't have any throttling. Service at each home will rely on a router, and possibly an exterior antenna "depending on the customer's location," Verizon also told Ars.)
I don't understand this argument. Someone makes a good product but it has a high margin so I'm a moron for buying it? That's not a logical conclusion. This isn't a commodity. I didn't just spend more for the sake of spending more. I clearly outlined my requirements, I'd LOVE to find less expensive options, I'm just not aware of any, are you? What should I be buying? I could spend $600 on an Android phone I replace every 2 years because I cannot get updates or I buy an iPhone for $1,000 that I can keep for four years (or more). But I should spend more because the manufacturer has lower margins? Huh? The manufacturers margins does not equate to direct value for me as the consumer, you understand that, right?
The markup you are describing ONLY considers the hardware costs. It does not include all the other things I listed. Yes, Apple still has good margins. I wish there was a good alternative that had great performance and I knew would get updates for 4+ years, immediately, with premium hardware. Unfortunately there just are not any other good options I'm aware of that meet my criteria. I'm not sure how that makes me a "moron".

You only need one example to disprove an absolute. If only there were some way we could find out who was using it...
