It’s not really turn off your brain so much as come to terms with mindless boredom and repetitive tasks until they become what’s fallaciously known as muscle memory. Although the Corps has never used the phrase “zen”, the ability to keep yourself centered in the midst of demanding and sometimes painful physical work…

Any husband who has a wife that earns as much as him or more knows the benefits of that second income.

Rather an insulting set of questions and assumptions there. Do you think that other jobs women do should “benefit their husbands” or that if they work, their partners must be insecure or unattractive? I’ve been with the same partner for fifteen years, and he’s extremely attractive, especially the fact that he’s much…

The “speed” of a 3D printer relative to other fabrication methods depends on the complexity of the part you’re making. For instance, simple shapes like a small cube could probably be made faster manually.

hahaha. PLA Filament costs roughly $25 for a kg and while YMMV, they last a while. 3d printed objects are not solid, they are mostly hollow with a grid pattern on the inside. I typically keep that infill at 20%.

Neat, I just wish they went all out and maxed out an iPhone 4 sized phone.

It runs worse, But it gets content added more often. Just wait till it gets out of early access

The ‘garage’ is true in that it represents our humble start, with no money, out of our homes. But no product was discussed or conceived of or designed or prototyped or tested or software written in the garage. That was all done in my Cupertino apartment and my office cubicle at HP’s calculator division in Cupertino.…

pfffttthaha... I love my Gizmodo. But that’s still funny.

I think most of those are CRT’s (!)

Seriously. We’ve spent years keeping animals out of areas and zombies aren’t nearly as smart as them. Also, I stopped reading the comics a while ago, but have they ever established if the zombie virus kills animals or otherwise dissuades them from attacking zombies? Because I’m pretty sure one bear could take out a…

You mean there are leaders that don’t switch from pointless moralizing to relentless violence at the drop of a hat? And also who don’t think that a prison with a FUCKING CHAIN LINK FENCE is the best sanctuary they could find in the goddamm south, which is littered with military bases and other fortified structures.

Alright, I’ll take the hate. Mad Max Fury Road is not that great of a movie. It’s smart for a blockbuster ‘splosion-fest, but it’s not actually all that smart. It HAS an ecological gimmick, but it doesn’t say anything about it. It HAS a sexist main hero and strong women, but it doesn’t really say anything about…

So we’re already screwed?

Yes. Bluestacks works fine uploading pics to Instagram from a PC. It can access any Windows folder. The problem is that it insists on installing Android games for you to try if you don’t pay a yearly fee. When installing Bluestacks, make sure you run the installation program as “run as administrator”. It doesn’t work…

if there’s anything I learned from Science Fiction it’s that you shouldn’t be a dick to robots.

Like Azhrarn said, I’m not sure you could send pictures and videos from the emulator. I know that with Bluestacks it’s apparently possible, but pretty complicated to setup.

On the bright side, there’s a developer currently working on an Instagram app for Windows 10. The apps is called 6tag, it’s currently the most used…

In my experience you can “see” sudden noises in this way when you are trying to sleep, though. What you observed might have just been a response to the change in sound pattern rather than a change in magnetic field.

Well, I know my brother primarily uses a phone emulator for Whatsapp, which works like a charm, but I imagine that uploading stuff will depend on how the emulator handles accessing the data on the PC itself. Most emulators are very closed systems, without any real access to the drives of the host machine.
