Now that would be a great pseudo-documentary. It could be presented as a Time Team episode where they're digging away in various trenches, and then one of them finds a strange piece of metal. Somebody takes it away to analyse in their tent whilst the dig slowly continues.
Then she rushes back to tell them the fragment of metal is some weird unknown titanium alloy, and it makes no sense it would be in a site of 3,000 year old dirt!
Then, in a separate trench they unearth an escape pod from an alien vessel.
"Death Valley" is a recent gentle comedic crime detective series on the BBC (iPlayer), set in Wales and the characters frequently break into Welsh (with English subtitles). It's lovely to hear!
According to the ejection seat manufacturer [1] there is no minimum height or speed at which the ejection seat can be used, so as long as the aircraft is roughly level then the ejection should be survivable.
The actual report mentions that this was a concern for actually landing the plane (as opposed to touch and go), because there was real possibility that the plane would end up in attitude that can hardly be described as "roughly level".
Yes. The 2 types of earthquake alerts each have a unique sound that was designed specifically for earthquake alerts. They are available in the supplemental data folder that's associated with the paper (you can also hear one of these by going into the android earthquake settings and clicking on the Demo feature).
True - but if you erode that trust then your users may go elsewhere. If you keep the ads visually separated, there's a respected boundary & users may accept it.
Yes, but for a while google was head and shoulders above the competition. It also poured a ton of money into building non-search functionality (email, maps, etc.). And had a highly visible and, for a while, internally respected "don't be evil" corporate motto.
All of which made it much less likely that users would bolt in response to each real monetization step. This is very different to the current situation, where we have a shifting landscape with several AI companies, each with its strengths. Things can change, but it takes time for 1-2 leaders to consolidate and for the competition to die off. My 2c.
N150 by itself doesn't generate any noise, but the cooling fans probably will. There are some fanless N150 solutions that are perhaps of interest? Though they are likely at a higher price point. I'm too lazy to copy and paste a link here, but search for "fanless N150" for some references.
My brother went looking for an N100 with the quietest fan, and gave it to me for Christmas two years ago. It has been an excellent little desktop with no discernable noise that I can tell. Morefine M8S, fwiw.
The N150 is only really useful with active cooling or a chunk of metal bolted to it, and most manufacturers will pick the cheapest possible fan, so yes, there will be some noise.
Are you sure "offline" means that? Romania looks offline and when I checked their CNN they were reporting live from Spain about the blackout without mentioning Romania.
The map seems to be based on monitoring stations in the different locations, so yes - it's also possible that a station is offline for other reasons (maintenance, etc).
In any case, if I recall correctly from a Youtube video I can't find (it was either Wendover or Real Engineering), if the grid is fully down, it takes quite a lot of effort and time to bring it back online because it has to be done in small steps to avoid over/under loading/using.
Yep. But of course security was not a concern with the machines of the era. At all. There wasn't even the concept beyond locking the entire computer away in a cabinet. For the most part a virus couldn't hurt your machine or survive a power off, although there are a few machines of the era with buggy "killer registers" that you could set that would cause a malfunction serious enough that could burn out some part of the machine.
