And a slightly faster processor. But pretty much, yeah.

Representation matters.

My fiancé and I bonded laughing over this comment. Thank you for bringing us even closer together. 

In all these use cases, there has to be an implicit giving of consent between the person manning the phone and the one wearing the watch.

It is so obvious you are not a parent. At least, I hope to god you are not.

Hey guys,

The Scan and Go alone would be worth $98/yr. That thing is a fucking life saver at Sam’s Club.

As someone who worked at distribution centers for both companies, I will give the slight edge to Amazon as far as how they treat employees, pay,bonuses, etc. They still both suck immensely 

Me.

Laugh all you want at the Atari 400, but I taught myself 6502 assembly on that computer and wrote arcade games with it. Of course backing them up to cassette sucked. I did eventually buy the hard drive and a third party keyboard replacement. And then I went to college and my mom gave it all to Goodwill. Still, it got…

“They take you to Computer Express on High Street, next to the dog grooming place.”  I slammed on the brakes because, THIS LITERAL THING HAPPENED. I had to go look and your bio says from Ohio but that’s a pretty specific place in Ohio, one that is sadly not there anymore. (last I saw they had moved next door to…

Historically, they prefer Vitamin Po.

The culture is propagated and maintained by the unions, which help insulate the cultural change despite some departments’ best efforts to do so. I’m all for organized labor and protecting workers, but police unions create a binary approach to policing that ultimately doesn’t serve the public good, nor is it actually…

The nazis developed such an barrel for the Sturmgewehr 44 rifle called a Krummlauf. It included a periscope to see around the corner you were aiming. It came in versions with 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° bends.

Too bad Accuweather is an awful company run by terrible people.

Diffusion is the process where the CPU is ‘printed’/’etched’ etc on the large silicon wafer (maybe a 12" or larger disc sliced from a large round crystal of silicon), just like printing a sheet of postage stamps.

The Ryzen chips are multichip modules (MCM) with “chiplets” inside. The interface chip is made in wafer form (diffused) in the USA by Global Foundries The core complex chips are made by TSMC in Taiwan at the wafer level (diffused). Last the chiplets are diced into chips and packaged in China assembled.

Besides the less dry air (allowed due to the composite body) and better window system, the advantage of the 787 is it allows for more direct flights because it is smaller and more fuel efficient. The big jumbos have to fly into enormous hubs like Frankfurt that are typically a godawful experience (especially with a…

The 747 is a historically important plane, but I’m not sure it’s demise is a huge loss for the flying public. Late last year, I did a round trip from Germany on Lufthansa. The way here was an A380 and the return was a 747. The a380 was a vastly superior experience to the 747.
