I still see many shops with modern VESA mounted mini PCs running an AS/400 terminal emulator to access their inventory systems.

Residential providers had a head start and got their addresses when large IP blocks where still available

I don't know about the US, but where I live speed camera are relatively large bright colored boxes with reflective stripes on the side of the road, with mandatory "speed camera ahead" warnings.

Most of them are empty but people unfamliar with the place will usually slow down.

potential long term safety

Some of the older ones near me have already been vandalized by woodpeckers

This, windows phone works well as a phone, but the lack of quality apps and crappy browser that chokes/crashes on avertising make the "smart" part a complete fail.

Yeah, until a few years ago when they started doing things like

- Automatically upgrading devices to Win10

- Announce that they will keep adding upgrades to win10 instead of creating new releases

- Office 365

- Require win10 to develop for windows phone 10

and important software companies like adobe/autodesk moving to subscription model isn't gonna help.

Because you might want to process it differently?

But modern ones sound all the same

Swap is activate pretty late in at 5:59 and you can clearly see there isn't much disk activity going on.

A barebones debian installation should be using < 50Mb at boot, so a custom gentoo could be <40Mb

Already done https://github.com/diasdavid/npm-on-ipfs tough it doesn't seem to be mantained anymore.

The T2 is responsible for controlling the iMac Pro’s stereo speakers, internal microphones, and dual cooling fans, all by itself.

So it's just a fancy Super I/O chip

But it's been stuck at 40 for a long time

Hmm, reducing the need for long lasting and easily recyclable paper by replacing it with mostly-plastic stuff (including packaging) that becomes obsolete in less than a decade?

I've seen a drone scanning over a large corn field, dropping sensors seems silly when you can outfit infrared tempature sensors/humidity sensors/etc on a drone.

And 10 years later everyone will be using glasses to correct the "looking at an 8K postage-stamp sized display" syndrome.

Not possible without some magic holographic technology.

Since size isn't much of a constraint it probably uses electromagnets instead of rare earth magnets as fitted on cars.

Also trains have been doing it for decades.

I don't understand what the fuss is all about, last time I tried AdNauseum it barely detected and clicked very few Ads, maybe one or two on really ad-heavy popular websites, and many issues on github confirm that its detector is quite finicky.

Most supermarkets where I live have a battery bin near the entrance, and I've seen many times various packs or even sealed lead acids crammed in.

I had couple of games installed on a symbian phone (200Mhz ARM) using "AR" almost a decade ago (a table tennis one and a virus catcher thingy), they were a bit laggy but that was because without onboard sensors they had to track movement using only the camera and at the same time push video plus overlay to the display.

So, not really impressed by pokemon go.

Third-party applications/drivers not being ready and higher resource usage than XP.

reminder of human presence.

Still not as bad as a plastic bottle on the ground.

AFAIK YaCy "peers" are just instances of solr doing search/indexing on their own (as set by the user) and the "distributed search" page only redirects the user to one of the available peers with external port open, not much p2p going on.

It requires a lot of resources with little to show for it.

Servo plus browserhtml could become a nice alternative considering that mozilla plans to kill XUL and thus firefox interface customization.

Certainly more useful/less code than the analog clock in the date/time settings window.

To synchronize radio-less clocks/timers/etc?

Looking at something like gsmartcontrol I can only spot the few icons being different than the shell32 ones, so it's still more consistent than most commercial software.

I purposefully ran btrfs on a malfunctioning drive for over a year (kernel 3.12, only metadata dup), much more reliable than ext4 which would lock up the entire filesystem on read/write failure and often go read-only, with btrfs the only visible signs of malfunction were dmesg and the scrub log.

Also been using it as / since 2012 with no issues.

I don't really see the problem with cars, none of the important parts require time

more conservative in future projections and less price sensitive than consumers.

Which means that if you need some replacement part in the future it's going to cost even more.

How new? 14 yo Miele washer never had an issue.

no filter cleaning for first 5 years!

That's pretty disgusting for something you use to eat.
