Just put the phone in a Faraday cage and turn off the bluetooth devices. You will need an older car without bluetooth and telemetry built in though.

The front fell off.

The easy way to remove the malware is to install Linux.

They only tested frame rates. There was no real difference between PCIe versions and most games ran nearly as well from SATA SSDs.

It would have been nice if they tested load times.

There are plenty of IRC clients that don’t use electron.

Did you memorize the alt code to make one?

If you use the compose key, you don’t have to memorize the unicode value. You just press compose ---.

Hopefully the solar panels are being used for something useful now like charging some homeless person’s phone.

The modern version is called Li-Fi. It’s capable of multi gigabit speeds. There doesn’t seem to be much that actually uses it though.

Yes, by using selecting format disk in the Linux installer.

Yes, you could get the base memory usage much lower than in the video.

You just need a video capture card or dongle for your computer. Preferably one with an S-video input. If these are pre recorded tapes, you will also need a Macrovision remover connected between the VCR and capture card. If you want the quality to be as good as possible, you will need a timebase corrector. Those are hard to find and expensive though. The TBC will also remove the Macrovision.

Many routers support more than one SSID per radio.

HDMI supports ethernet, but very few devices actually implement it. Even if the monitor and GPU support it, there would be no internet connection unless the PC bridges it to your LAN.

DisplayPort does not carry ethernet.

For lower powered devices, you can use a power inverter and power supply to convert the frequency and voltage. They are not particularly expensive or heavy, but it will still be inefficient since you’re stepping down to 12V DC and back up to 120V or 230V AC.

You didn’t need anything that fancy. You could build a Macrovision remover circuit. The schematics were certainly harder to find before the web, but you could build one up in an afternoon with parts from RadioShack.

They aren’t worthless, they are just much more suited for low power embedded systems rather than a general purpose PC.

I’ve got 12 years and 5 months on a Western Digital WD20EARX HDD. It’s starting to get some bad sectors.

I’ve got a similar runtime on a SAMSUNG SpinPoint F2 and it still seems to be healthy. There’s nothing important on either of them, I just want to see how long they will last.

Luckily it will only be an unmanned cargo delivery.

I prefer mine with a cord. It looks like there are still plenty of wireless mice available that use AA batteries. Eneloop batteries work great for those.

It was down yesterday. I haven’t had any issues today apart from their usual poor coverage.
