Tray-less microwaves have a spinning metal “stirring fan” below a plastic floor you set your food upon to mix the bounce path the microwaves take. Since they expose fewer moving parts to the end user they are easier to clean and more resilient making them a good option for commercial / high volume settings.
A microwave works by bouncing microwaves around the interior. Since the shape of the container doesn’t change neither will the path that the bounced waves take. This can lead to hotspots in what you’re reheating.
To mitigate this you have a few options:
Both approaches redistribute the hotspots to maximize even heating. The efficacy of either approach will come down to the specific design of either unit, but a tray-less unit can be easier to clean, and with fewer moving parts exposed to end users can be a good option for commercial/high user count settings.
Each design accomplishes the same task of relatively even heating with few hotspots.
It gives a false sense of security to beginner programmers and doesn’t offer a more tailored solution that a more practiced programmer might create. This can lead to a reduction in code quality and can introduce bugs and security holes over time. If you don’t know the syntax of a language how do you know it didn’t offer you something dangerous? I have copilot at work and the only thing I actually accept its suggestions for now are writing log statements and populating argument lists. While those both still require review they are generally faster than me typing them out. Most of the rest of what it gives me is undesired: it’s either too verbose, too hard to read, or just does something else entirely.
There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.
Except the actual phone part.
Cool! Yet another way to have Google loop the same 20 songs tangentially related to the artist I searched for without actually playing the artist I searched for.
Very simply:
It was a lot easier to pretend to be a good person when every moral failure you make wasn’t broadcast around the world the moment it was discovered. Case and point, look into Bill Gates more. He wasn’t always a respectful guy, got caught up in the whole “filthy communists” schtick when the government was investigating his company, advocates for more restrictive control of aid distribution favoring manufacturers more than those he’s trying to help, conflicts of interest in his charity, opposing twitters ban of Trump after the insurrection, etc.
Any consenting adult should be able to. Sex work is work and it’s far past time we stop stigmatizing and criminalizing that.
I love mine. I bought one as soon as they went on sale and it has completely replaced my gaming laptop when I travel. What I like most of all is that it makes it easy for me to play games in my backlog that I would not otherwise have plaid. I have almost 900 games in my library and it’s opened up my playtime in platformers, casual story games, puzzle games, racing, space sims, and more. The fact that I can do that on a plane or wherever on holiday is awesome. I have no doubt that there are games in my library it can’t play, but I’ve not actually tried to play a game on it that just didn’t work.
If you aren’t a gamer I don’t know how much value there is for you. If you want to become a gamer it’s a well balanced device with a solid store behind it and your library will be accessible by any PC you buy in the future. If you are considering it as a gift for a gamer, just keep in mind if they aren’t primarily a PC gamer (that is to say they play on a console) they will have to rebuy some games if they want to play on the deck.
As far as being a full laptop replacement, I wouldn’t bother.
Sometimes people put the year they were born in their username like janedoe1969. Sometimes people abbreviate the year to the last 2 digits like janedoe69. Sometimes 2 digit numbers mean something else like 69 or 88. Sometimes people use the non year meaning as an indicator like whitedaddy88. Sometimes people don’t immediately recognize the alternative meaning of a number and accidentally use a dog whistle in their username. Sometimes people don’t want to be confused as being a Nazi because of an innocent mistake they made on a forum years ago. Sometimes they use that negative experience as an opportunity for a meta referential joke.
Well you certainly seemed to have held up to your username.
They have touted for a long time their false equivalency that restriction equals security. If they backtrack on that (I believe) they believe they will lose customers. In reality their fanbase will likely stick with them because that’s what they know and the added functionality will make their offerings a more appealing product.
Now that Europe is forcing their hand on some of this we can see the impacts it will have on their market growth in the coming years. There are other factors that impact this potential shift in market share too:
I side load. That’s why I stick to Android. If they get rid of that I need to find something else. Restricting what your users can do is actually a bad business process and the key thing keeping me away from Apple. If Apple were to actually open their systems and start respecting their users they would get more customers.
You still need to deal with that on the server. The client you build and provide could just truncate the input, but end users can pick their clients so the problem still remains.
Of course, but if you’re paying for network and processing costs you might as well cap it at something secure and reasonable. No sense in leaving that unbounded when there’s no benefit over a lengthy cap and there are potentially drawbacks from someone seeing if they can use the entirety of Wikipedia as their password.
If a company tells you your password has a maximumn length, they are untrustable with anything important.
I would add if they require a short “maximum length.” There’s no reason to allow someone to use the entirety of Moby Dick as their password, so a reasonable limit can be set. That’s not 16 characters, but you probably don’t need to accept more than 1024 anyway.
Well, I try to understand why something is included. I’ve run arch for years (BTW), though my current computers are running Fedora and Debian. I won’t say I know everything about Linux or even installing it or booting it, but I do know more than I would if I just followed step by step.
State communication should not travel over private channels that can arbitrarily limit access to that State’s communications.
