I guess it’s more of an F22 replacement than the F35.
It seems the Air Force realized they lengthy process for developing the most recent generation of jets was taking too long. Last week they announced physical testing of the “NGAD”, Next Generation Air Dominance. They used virtual design...
Yep, that’s a BUD (big ugly dish). Probably a good amount of concrete holding that steady
In addition to a ground rod? I would think there should be a pair of coax wires in there, but I’m not sure what that gets you so close to the house. (Could be used for MOcA Ethernet extender if it was...
It appears C band is still a thing... and they pick up some dishes posted on Facebook and Craigslist.
but I’m not seeing a quick list of unscrambled channels

It seems my local grocery stores have abandoned the craft soda market, except a few sugar-free ones in the diet section.
I’ve been getting Sprecher root beer in glass bottles at Menards. I’ve seen it at Farm and Fleet, also.
Fruit trees are frequently spliced onto a stronger root base.
The tree of 40 fruit is a fun read:

I am not aware of splicing for oak, though.
Hopefully they have been harvesting and planting the tree’s acorns, so a number of its “children”...
I wonder if closed schools are also part of the problem. In the US, the potato can count a vegetable, so the weight of a big serving of fries counts as healthier than an entree made with several fresh vegetables.
Years back, I had an old Laserjet 4 series and it was great for black & white printing and toner lasted a very long time. Unfortunately they stopped making those toner cartridges and photosensitive drums don’t last forever, even with refills. I never had to replace the fuser on that printer...
It’s possible to use the cold water line as the recirculating line

For scanning documents, download the HP Smart app. It takes a picture but auto-sizes to the document and adjusts so the paper Background doesn’t have any grey tones.
This summer I investigated “mega tank” printers. They have large ink bottles instead of cartridges.
While there doesn’t seem...
You can buy a tablet case/cover that contains a little Bluetooth keyboard when you open it up. If work provides a Citrix desktop, you can do most PC things via virtual desktop.
I don’t think it’s ideal, but sometimes portability is more important.
The In Memorandum montage did not include Luke Perry, who was in one of the night’s nominated films, “Once soon a time in Hollywood”.
They were correct to include Kobe, who won an Oscar.
Eminem surprised everyone and showed up to the Oscars 17 years late to give a live performance of his Oscar...
I had a similar situation. Both my old frontier modem/router or my old router kept crashing. I wound up with an Opteron 270 based server that I installed Ubuntu on and it’s been running reliably the past few years.
That Opteron 270 (dual core, 2GHZ) was released in 2005, I guess that is a year...
Satellite Internet is expensive, kinda slow and capped...plus line of sight is not always possible. (When Exceed offered up to 100mb service, they only offered it near large cities, not rural areas)
But to answer your question, For years and years, phone companies collected millions in rural...
4.48 down, 1.28 up on Sprint LTE
20/3 on my WISP
I drive under a gig-speed Mediacom line at the end of my driveway, but they won’t run a cable 1/4 mile to my house.
Thanks for reminding me from back when I was a satellite TV enthusiast. Spot beams for downloads has been a satellite TV thing for decade(s). I don’t know how well that works for multiple uplinks.
I think the Spaceway satellites had an array of transmitting spot beams that could change from...
From a customer standpoint, I don’t get the need for 5G.
A year or so back, Verizon did a custom (I think a 4x4 modem) LTE test in NYC and got gig speed.
Last week, I was in another small city and I was getting 100+ mbps download tests on Sprint LTE. (Even saw a peak over 200 on one test). If...
While Microsoft’s TV as a web appliance was replaced by the Xbox One, I’d argue most of the market (e-mail customers/elderly without a home ISP) has been replaced by smart phones.
Usually the occasional story of an American restaurant converting from tips to a “living wage” ends with that restaurant’s best staff leaving to earn more at a tipped restaurant, then service declines with the remaining staff.
$85 for 20Mbps uncapped through a local fixed wireless provider.
It’s a lot better than the previous $105 for phone and 3.5mbps DSL I was paying from Frontier)
Dr Evil was so far ahead of his time
But that’s wild that the researchers don’t understand the physics that make it possible for the laser to vibrate the mic.
Mattress Mack?
He was up to $12M
But it didn’t impact him, the WS bet was a fun hedge against his furniture stores’ promo of free furniture if the Astros won.
(Usually a store buys insurance to pay out on a promo like that. Instead, Mack bet the Astros win with the same $.)
I think 3/4 of the leaves have turned and 1/3 have fallen, so now we have snow forecast in the next 2 days to stress test trees that are still holding leaves.
What sort of bank account is this? You sound like you are talking about a money market account or something money is only withdrawn a few times a year, at most.
An average checking account is used to pay a dozen+ bills a month, plus numerous withdraws for day-to-day purchases.
There would be...
It will be interesting to see the price/speed of the new service.
It’s also very interesting seeing the result of cheaper, more frequent satellite launches.
Before, if there was a satellite hardware problem, it would be years and hundreds of millions for just the New satellite launch. (Plus...
In town the mileage almost made sense because it was more fun to hold the gas pedal down running premium. But it also did the same thing on road trips with cruise control on a full tank. It’s manual gearing was more about “performance” than economy. At 70mph I was at 3k+ RPM.
I’m guessing that...
