Back in the 1990's there were heroin bags in New York labeled "Betty White". That was a tribute to her fame I suppose. Since then, I would think of drugs when her name came up.

Personally I was sad when I read that the airplane was made in 1939. To survive all that time just to be wrecked for views, so wasteful.

As an auto tech, Tesla has fire walled their information from the usual distributors. A AllData Or Mitchell repair subscription cover every (popular) brand except Tesla. Their cost for a single mechanic is cheaper than Tesla's.

He is correct in highlighting the very poor 3rd party service available to Tesla owners specifically because Tesla is reluctant to release repair information and software. A Tesla service subscription to get access to schematics and troubleshooting help cost $3178 per year. Contrast that with GM's $550 annual charge and you will see the bleak future of Tesla repair.

The Amd APU's would be interesting although under powered. They give you the option of setting "VRAM" size to almost any percentage of system memory.

I am going to go against the grain here and ask someone more knowledgeable than myself if the large number of changes in this variant is typical in virus evolution? Because as an outsider, it appears to me that studying the history of past pandemics would present a road map as to what must be modified to attenuate the damage potential in a virus. I suppose my question really is, why are we chancing GOF research, if not to use in this situation?

I don't see how this would be possible without having access to Target's inventory system.

As I recall Intel was none too happy with Abit for unlocking multiprocessing capability in Celerons. I don't recall that Abit lasted very long after the BP6. i wonder if Abit was punished by Intel?

After the "Cultural Revolution", what is left of Chinese history, to learn from?

I always find it curious that both dark matter and dark energy aren't available locally to study.

How did you learn that Wistron LOS-1 is the name for L 440?

I was thinking of connecting it directly to the front differential as a secondary means of propulsion around town. I would imagine you might be able to use it as 4wd on demand, too.

From what I read, the P2P method isn't new. "Preisler, who works at an electroplating factory and has been arrested twice in the U.S. for his work with methamphetamine, says he isn't surprised traffickers have turned to P2P.

"P2P is old school," he said. "Hell, I used to cook by that route circa 1980."

The fight has come full circle. In the 1980s, the U.S. government severely restricted access to P2P seeking to curtail methamphetamine production. Meth makers shifted to ephedrine, which could be found in common cold remedies. When authorities cracked down on ephedrine, they switched to pseudoephedrine, the active ingredient in Sudafed and other decongestants." https://www.cleveland.com/world/2009/12/old_school_meth_meth...

To me, I find that China stopping internal travel while allowing International flights to continue to be more damming than whether or not the source was a lab.

The picture showed landscapers using 4 stroke Stihl blowers. Much quieter as well as less air polution.

I personally wish that the infotainment part of the vehicle was a interface cable where the customer could freely choose the platform and also have an upgrade path in the future. Making cars more like cell phones means they will assume the lifetime of a cell phone.

Is this a byproduct of China punishing Australia for asking for an investigation of the Covid-19 origin?

Speaking of "coerced confessions", the 2 Michaels were immediately released.

I am relatively sure that Apple has made concessions to the Chinese government to allow it's existence in the Chinese market. I would guess that other Governments might feel slighted if not offered the same access.

"These phones being affected COULD BE all Carrier Locked phones which have specific terms to allow such behavior." I use a unlocked Pixel 4a on Google Fi and still got the app.

I have a Ryzen 7 4700g. I wanted to compare this to the GPU side of the M1. On Geekbench OpenGL test, it was slightly faster than the M1. I would like to find a better test.

Having researched Tesla battery packs, failure occurs when one cell goes into high resistance state. There is a Company that repairs battery packs by cutting the bad cell out of the circuit. They charge approx $5k to do this. I am guessing that low resistance (shorted) cells take themselves out by blowing their individual fuse. It seems as though addressable fuses could deal with this

"The top end most profitable SKUs are fully enabled dies." If you take a part that would be discarded because it didn't make "top end" binning, and sell it as a lesser(core count or clock speed) chip. Isn't that profit from what would otherwise be scrap?

In the 1990's I serviced computer printers and monitors. Juki made a daisy wheel printer called the 6100. It was unique in that it used mag-lev to suspend the print head. It came to mind regarding this story because someone had written software to convert the Juki 6100 to a graphics printer, using the Period Key Only. It printed at 18 characters per second, try to imagine how slow that is.

From some quick research, battery technology isn't able to provide more than an hour and a half in a $1400 backpack battery. So a Company owner that can't recharge on the fly would need 5 or 6 battery packs per employee to last the day. Or worse they might run a generator continuously on the truck to recharge them.

Have to agree, I am using a Thinkpad T420 released in 2011 with 16GB. My upgrade will hopefully have a 32GB capacity.

Is this happening because of more SSD (swap) use with 8GB of RAM, I wonder?

I would have to purchase one to experience chip failure. That isn't easy.

As someone that isn't a developer, I wonder how many zero days come from people inside the software team. To simply have knowledge of a difficult bug that hasn't been resolved would seem to be valuable commodity in a closed source system.
