There’s no setting for mobile data, but for WiFi you can go into the network settings and override DNS.

Re:Sub-$200 Lidar Could Reshuffle Auto Sensor Economics

It turns out it’s the sensors that are easily damaged by high powered lidar lasers.

How do screen readers work? I’ve used all the aria- attributes to make automation/scraping hopefully more robust, but don’t have experience beyond that. Could accessibility attributes also help condense the content into something more manageable?

If you’re not speculatively executing, you don’t need a branch hint because you don’t need to speculate which way it goes.
Also, I don’t think executing both sides of a branch ever took off on any mainstream CPUs (unless Itanium counts). It wastes power to spend half your execution units on things that won’t be committed, why not use them on the other hyperthread instead?

Is both. They cause gravitational waves, which is how the system gets rid of energy, which allows the orbits to decay, causing the collision (and more waves).

My uninformed opinion: lots of speculative execution is good for single core performance, but terrible for power efficiency.
Have data centres always been limited by power/cooling costs, or did that only become a major consideration during the move to more commodity hardware?

Re:Suica Technology and Strategy for Future Development (2016) [pdf]
on Wednesday December 20, 2023 @09:31AM (#38709067)
One thing I really appreciate about Suica is the low latency. You can tap while walking quickly and not have to slow down to get through the ticket gate. Compared with e.g. London, where you have to almost stop because the gates take so long to open, it really makes it easy for a trainload of people to get out of a station.
The name is also a bad pun; Sui-sui is onomatopoeia for smooth movement (like fish swimming), so it’s the card for moving smoothly. Also, suica means watermelon so the card is green.
