I didn’t even know it was still around. I stopped using it when microsoft bought it.

TVs that do anything more than displaying a signal exactly as it’s input shouldn’t exist.

Sometimes one or two just don’t have enough channels. The bottom one doesn’t look like a scope though. It may be a spectrum analyzer, but it’s hard to see.

Home 3D movies were never good, you didn’t miss much.

I will not buy a Thinkpad if it doesn’t have a trackpoint. They work so much better than a touchpad, especially for things like selecting text.

They should have mandated markings on the plugs that indicate what the cable supports.

It would be nice if they would make a module that has 120 Gbps USB4 or Oculink for connecting high end external GPUs.

Self driving cars are bad enough. How is a self driving bus going to navigate crowded city streets?

In that case it would be unusable in any remote area without cell service too.

A fire is what you may get when a hacker decides to turn the oven on for you.

It’s only a matter of time before corporate WANs like Amazon sidewalk and/or the ever decreasing cost of cellular modems and IOT contracts mean they won’t even ask anymore.

Then it’s time to heat up the soldering iron and disable the wireless connectivity in hardware.

You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.

Helium doesn’t just kill apple devices, It kills anything with a MEMS oscillator. Helium atoms are so small that it’s impossible to make a seal that completely blocks them.

Used cars are going to get much more valuable with all the enshitified crap they keep putting in new cars.

There is potting compound with high thermal conductivity for things that produce a lot of heat. A YubiKey hardly uses any power, so heat should not be an issue.

The main downsides of potting are that it makes repair practically impossible and it can add a lot of weight if there is a large volume to be filled.

Encasing the circuit board in epoxy. It makes it very difficult to access components without destroying it. It’s also great for water proofing and increasing the mechanical robustness.

For the price they charge, they should be made so that opening the case will destroy the contents. They could have at least potted them.

It doesn’t even matter if it’s a trusted seller. Amazon puts their returned items back with the new products and they stock the items from every seller together. You can have 10 sellers with a genuine item and 1 with a counterfeit item and have a chance of getting the counterfeit item from any of them because they all share the same stock.

I would be more worried about that fact that the AI enabled device likely needs an internet connection to function. That means the manufacturer can take away features or brick the device whenever they want to.

Bad building layout could cause multipath issues though.
