The other part is it’s not PPI (“per inch”) that matters for screen door, but PPD. (per degree) This device might be only 1080P, but it also simulates a screen much further from your eyes, at only 53 degrees, it’s not covering as much of your vision as a VR headset, which often exceed 110 degrees.

But there are other ways to minimize it, such as what the Odyssey+ does.

Screen door has to do with the gaps between pixels, not necessarily the number of pixels. I don’t know what they do in this case, but there have been several ways to combat the effect. It may also be less obvious when viewing typical video content, compared to playing VR that responds to your head movement.

The reason parts for automotive have to be temp rated is because the engine compartment gets quite hot. Tesla doesn’t have that problem, as there’s no ICE under the hood. The battery and power management parts will need cooling, but that’s already designed in.

work has already begun on a new, wifi-standard known as IEEE 802.11

No, heavy water is when deuterium is in a compound with oxygen. But deuterium can also form other compounds, just like hydrogen-1 can.

Some of these saw little usage, so maybe “dumb” is a way of saying they didn’t fill a need that people were willing to pay for. (Or were too big to be a useful daily driver, like the GPS or Remote watches.) But the Casio Data Bank Calculator is the exception, as it sold well at the time and was useful. (I used to have…

That’s the “why” also. Nobody said “no” to using the same filter. But because they were working separately, it never came up as an option to ask which filter each used, at least until both were well advanced and locked into the design.

They were designed by two different companies in parallel.

Klaus (Netflix 2019) is a holiday cartoon that is horror-adjacent. I enjoyed the ending, but man if it doesn’t start out with every spook and scare that it could fit in.

If that were possible, then we’d have to worry about all the comets that crash into the sun, too. (And there are quite a few)

Right? Sounds like he returned at least 5 times, why did the police leave each time? “Oh this armed deranged whacko has been here 3 times tonight, I guess he’s not coming back. We got more important things to do.”

The latest Samsung models do have the UWB chip, so maybe somebody will.

At the same time, this does show what might be possible with a dedicated remote, if it had the right interface. Today, the problem with using a remote for smart home devices is the shear number of keys you need to represent each light. Being able to wave a “magic wand” at the light might be easier on guests than…

I’m confused. I thought you were saying earlier the politicians would be afraid to give that order, now you are saying the politicians are the only ones that should?

The government doesn’t shut down the grid. Each utility would have to make that decision themselves, or the grid operators. Thy don’t need permission, and they are responsible to protect their grid, not worry about some future vote. And a shutdown can be quick when it needs to be. They can trip breakers to segment the…

A nearby GRB would only kill half the planet quickly. The other half would be shielded on the “dark” side of Earth, but there would be lingering effects such as ozone depletion that would eventually have worldwide impact.

We can see a large CME on the sun from several satellites, such as SOHO and STEREO at least 10 hours before it hits earth. We would know the magnitude and rough direction at that time. The DSCOVR satellite at L1 would be the first chance to verify that it will actually hit earth, and to detect the if the field is…

Even if your own power is completely self sufficient (on solar, for instance) if the event is severe enough, then insulin itself might be the limiting factor as the factories are disrupted by either lack of power or damaged equipment, and the shelf life is a few months at the most.

Yes. Your cell phone and other portable devices should be fine, as well. As long as it’s not plugged in for charging when the surge comes. But there may not be a cell network for it to connect to, depending on what got damaged. And even then it depends on exactly how large the solar storm was, and what efforts at…
