13,700,000,000 (13.7 billion) years...

Since someone starred my comment and reminded me of this post, I figured I’d share that nearly 2 years in, the motor in my DC65 is still going strong. Thanks for your concern. ;)

That doesn’t change anything in regards to my original point. You can utilize gravity all you want, but the machine you’re using to do so will not run perpetually. If you put any sort of a work load on that machine, it will stop even sooner.

It’s not that kind of a recall... They’re not forcing anyone to return them. Simply offering it as an option for those unwilling, unable or too-dumb to anchor them to the wall.

I second this... I’ve recently (so they’ve had times to work out the kinks) tried installing Windows via BootCamp on two Macs. It was infuriating. Every problem you’ve described is exactly the experience I had. It was not worth it.

I would bet this has more in common with a the cores of a GPU than it does the cores of a CPU. These are basic, dumbed-down cores designed for massively parallel workloads. What else uses basic, dumbed-down cores in a massively parallel configuration? Yep... a GPU.

It’s easy to say it, but in reality, we don’t live in the 1970's anymore. More importantly, we don’t live in the world that existed in the 1970's either. The optimism for the future. The promise of technology only beginning to show what was possible. Those things don’t exist in the same way they did back then. Had…

That was my first thought... that graph is ridiculously misleading.

Today’s article about the Hyundai Veloster made me come back. My SO has a Veloster Turbo, and its electric power steering actually isn’t bad. Although the first time I drove it (when I still had a car with an hydraulic system) I remember thinking it was a bit too light, but it’s far more communicative than my Kia.

I suggest you review the availability of the types of parts you’d want, prior to buying the car. There aren’t a plethora of aftermarket options as you might expect for a sporty hatchback. There are plenty of go-fast decals you can buy for them, but actual, useful performance parts while available, are few and far…

Most of the Hyundai/Kia stable with electric steering are exactly the same. Although I like it overall, my ‘15 Forte5 has the worst steering feel of any car I’ve ever owned (and that’s coming from a ‘06 Sportage (it was inherited for free, don’t judge me too harshly) that felt like a sports car by comparison).…

I’ll add that you should get an insurance quote with a VIN for the exact or exactly comparable car. Cars like the Golf GTI, or the Impreza WRX (before it was a separate model) will typically be quoted at the lowest rate for that model due to company policies and/or agent cluelessness.

That doesn’t really make any sense... If they’re going to bother to put the chip in the cable, unless their intent were to be malicious, they would just make the cable work as intended. It’s the exclusion of components for cost savings, that has caused the problem with existing cables. If they’re going to buy the…

Considering all headlines, titles or other collections of words that refer to “perpetual motion” are “calling it something it is not”... I wouldn’t consider this click bait. It’s simply using the term in the way it is always used.

At the typical size of most viruses, no... they really don’t have a color. However, concentrating some viruses in a small enough space would result in some scattering of light that could produce iridescent (changing depending on angle) or blue colors. But this is more similar to the sky being blue (despite air not…

Definitely appreciate the note of clarification, but I certainly didn’t take your comment, nor the last paragraph, with any “tone”. So you’re good. And the comment to “lighten up a bit” wasn’t meant to convey any negativity either.

I think the point he/she was making was that while these services may in fact be “always listening” that doesn’t mean they’re always recording/transmitting what you’re saying. Neither Cortana, nor GoogleNow, nor Siri are constantly transmitting data to their respective SkyNets with every word, terrible porn…

The exterior will likely be (pleasantly) surprisingly similar to what you see here. The interior... Not so much.

Haven’t read any of the other comments yet, but “who would buy this over [insert something German]” are guaranteed to follow.

Oh god... that “I HAVE MY OWN FUCKING MODEM!!!!” conversation is the worst. Especially when the typical response is something like “I’m not talking about the modem, I’m talking about the wireless gateway (aka modem with a wireless router)“.
