I think the most likely explanation is that someone saw a drone or two at night and posted a photo on social media. It can be very hard to determine the actual size of something in a photo, so it probably looked a lot bigger than it was. That got everyone worked up and now every light in the night sky is a “drone”.
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?
I get around 10 hours of web browsing or video playback on my T480 with integrated graphics and the extended battery. It would be a couple hours longer if it had fresh batteries.
Who can even tell the difference between 4K and 8K when you’re sitting a normal distance from the screen?
The reader may need a kernel module loaded. I have an old laptop with a built in Realtek PCIe card reader that requires the rtsx_pci_sdmmc module to be manually loaded.
If it is a PCIe card reader, it should have shown up in lspci even without the module loaded though.
Have you checked the BIOS settings to make sure it hasn’t been disabled there?
If the card reader is built in, it may show up as /dev/mmcblk0.
RS-232 isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s so simple that any microcontroller can use it.
The U6+ will nearly max out gigabit with a 160MHz channel. The U7 Pro can provide higher speeds, but keep in mind there is only room for a single 240MHz channel on 5GHz. You will need 2.5G ethernet to take advantage of the higher speeds.
Interference from any other WiFi networks within your channel will slow things down a lot though. That makes running with channels wider than 80MHz difficult if there are any other networks in range.
Why would anyone need a calculator built into a website when every OS comes with one?
My access points are AC Lite and and U6 Lite. Those are discontinued though.
If I get more for inside, I would probably get the U6+. I am also thinking about getting one of the AC Mesh access points for outside. I’m not too worried about speed since anything that needs high speed is wired. I don’t have any neighbors, so I have all the bands to myself. If you are in an urban area, you should probably consider one with 6GHz support.
I use the Unifi access points. They work well and are fairly inexpensive. The management software can change settings on all of them at once, which is really handy if you have several.
Blurays are too small for backups anymore. It would take hundreds of them to backup all of my stuff. If you want long term backups, you have to spend a couple grand on a tape drive.
Maybe when 3D printers become much more capable.
Usenet is a bit more work to setup than bittorrent, but you will be able to find lots of movies and TV shows there without having to seed anything. Unfortunately, you have to pay for access to good indexers if you want to download more than a few files per day.
This is why you never buy any device that uses the cloud unless there is an option to self host.
I put a cheap pair of wire cutters in the front pocket of the suitcase to cut the zip tie off with.
I just use a zip tie. It keeps the bag shut and it’s obvious if they open it. Of course they could potentially replace it with an identical zip tie. You can get security seals that are serial numbered if you want to protect against that.
Yes, Wine doesn’t support USB passthrough. You would need a VM for that.
That will be more likely as more people start using SteamOS.
If SteamOS can get enough users, then not supporting it will start to hurt the game developers profits.
