As I understand it, both Soccer and Football were used to describe the same sport when it was first came out. Football was more of a generic term for a bunch of different sports, including Rugby Football and Soccer/Football.

What we now know as Soccer/Football was known as Association Football, shortened to Assoc Football or Assocer Football. So Assocer Football got shortened to Soccer.

American Football continued to tradition of using Football as a generic term for a bunch of sports and modeled their sport after both Rugby and Soccer/Football.

As the the sports became more well played in their respected lands, they each took the more recognized Football moniker as their own, leaving the lesser known names, such as Soccer and American Football, for the names for the less played versions. As the world became smaller and more interconnected, we now have these arguments over who actually has the right to call themselves Football.

The resonator is not actually on the chip itself, but is a separate component on the board. Same with the crystal oscillator. You can replace it, much like a recap, to restore and preserve a retro game system.

I am happy when they give me a QR code for payment, especially if I have an account with their service (it's usually Toast) but can't understand why they would ever give QR codes for Menus. Even the Payment QR codes are optional.

Maybe that's the biggest differentiator, if things are optional. If I see a QR code for extra info on their printed menu, for things like a calorie calculator or pictures that they didn't have room on the menu for, then it would be nice. But anything where it's one or the other will always make it a worst experience.

It's simple - Where would you rather watch something?
At home where you can pause it for pee breaks and eat great food, on the streaming subscription you're already subscribted to?
Or would you rather go out to a movie theater where you can't pause it, anything you eat will be more unhealthy and taste worst, you'll likely strain your neck to see things, have to deal with other people being rude and talking, risk covid/cold/flu and pay $$ for that experience.
Simply, once they started having same-day releases for both streaming and theater, most people looked at it and thought about the cost/benefit of theater vs at home.

Taiwan is the Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle of World Geopolitics. It both is and isn't part of China. All I know is that it's "disputed" and is THE major technology hub. But, when discussing "banning computer chips from China" you are exclusively talking about Taiwan, and maybe Hong Kong.
Is TSMC a Chinese company? I honestly don't know anymore.

So they will be looking for chips made by a chinese company but the factories are in another country, like Vietnam.

It stands for World Wide Developers Conference, which is Apple's developer focused conference.

A big hit to the legitimacy was the wacky accounting that's used to account for damages. There's a 2012 TED talk about it where it's explained that the music industry says it's $150,000 per song/per copy. So an old iPod Classic holds 8 billion dollars worth of piracy. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

In my head, the plan is to phase out all ICE cars, make everything Hybrid and Electric. And as the infrastructure builds out, then move from Hybrid to Electric.
Right now, the Infrastructure just isn't there yet.
We haven't even yet completely agreed on a single plug - thanks Tesla for being the holdout, even Nissan is getting rid of CHAdeMO and going with the standard J1772 plug. We haven't yet figured out whether to charge for time or KWh. We haven't figured out what to do if you live in an apartment. We haven't yet put in destination chargers that isn't a hotel, such as a resturant, mall or workplace. Hell, we are only now starting to decarbonize the grid.
There's a lot to figure out, and we need much more time than everyone projects. Everyone focuses on what the climate change models project, and not what's actually realistic.

Chromebooks are a Linux Distro, but MacOS is a seperate OS that's based on BSD. I mean by separate OS, that it's not just a distro of BSD.
Long story short, current MacOS is made out of NeXTSTEP, which was built using BSD components for the foundation, and built/rebuilt a LOT of their own code on top of it, both in the beginning and over the years.
You might be confusing Linux and BSD. Both are Posix compliant and free (both as in speech and as in beer), but are definitely different.

I still call BS on the "unofficial" nature on the key fob remote start because it was in the marketing. If key fob remote start functionality was unofficial to begin with, it wouldn't have even said that "Note: Key Fob Remote Start will not function if Connected Services are waived" in the marketing ad copy for the connected services.

According to iFixit's teardown (iFixit iPhone 13 Pro Teardown, step 10), this is the first time that it has a seperate front facing display assembly, with all the other front facing cameras being part of the display assembly. I'm assuming that this is just leftover software issues from the assumption that it will always be part of the display. That doesn't mean we shouldn't hound Apple to fix it, as they likely won't without some pushback if only from laziness.

Ultra Wide Band / High Band can't pernitrate a single plexiglass bus-station wall, let alone brick and plaster. I'm all for the backend changes that increase speeds and make things more reliable, but the Ultra Wide Band or High Band gimmicks are just plain stupid.

I'm excited for Hidden Solar, as I call it. Basically, as everyone puts solar on their roof, the demand for electricity from the grid will decrease and be hidden from the metrics, but will be completely green. And by reducing the demands on the grid, it gives more time for grid upgrades and more green power to be installed.

This will also help make 'electrification' more cost effective. If you don't know what that is, I didn't for a long time, it's making everything fossil fuel related into electric - electric dryers, electric water tanks, electric cars, electric home heating, etc.

The Boom part of this comes from the Housing Boom happening right now. As we are/were stuck indoors, we look for larger/better homes and upgrades to our current homes. Thus people think 'Should I put in solar while I'm upgrading the roofing?' and such thinking.

I'm also excited to see what comes out in terms of 'at-home wind turbines" but that's much more complicated than just putting on some solar panels on roofs.
