Comment PIP (Picture-In-Picture). Does HDMI-2.1a make it? (Score 1) 35

FTFA: "...having the source device configure content for the specific display."
I really hope that this means that we'll soon be able to put/position multiple HDMI streams on one large display, like a background stream, program streams, and Nest/Ring/Sec camera windows on one big display.
Lcd/Plasma/OLED/TV's began to lose PIP (Picture-in-Picture) capability over a decade ago, so it's about time that feature came back to we the new consumers.

Comment JUUL should sell device w/Empty but REFILABLE PODS (Score 1) 232

Tens of Millions of JUUL device owners are out there - Flavored "Pods" have been outlawed.
JUUL should sell the device+charger with 1 Tobacco, and 2 newly designed empty but REFILLABLE pods from now on. ...and sell empty REFILLABLE pods to please its customer base that loves JUULs' form factor. ...but mostly the white LED night light feature that JUUL alone features!

Comment Being so high & wide, did it affect SAT orbits (Score 2) 42

FTFA: "The space hurricane was more than 620 miles wide and high in the sky -- it formed in the ionosphere, between 50 and 600 miles up."
My questions are:
1. Does this phenom affect orbit paths & positions of large and small SATs?
2. Surely this has happened before, and it will again: Were we already prepared for this one?

Vermont City Almost Encased In a 1-Mile Dome 456

destinyland writes "A Vermont city once proposed a one-mile dome over its 7,000 residents. (They paid $4 million a year in heating bills, and HUD seriously considered funding their proposal.) The city's architectural concept included supporting the Dome with air pressure slightly above atmospheric pressure. (Buckminster Fuller warned their biggest challenge would be keeping it from floating away...) There would be no more heating bills, fly-fishing all year, and no more snow shoveling. And to this day, the former city planner insists that 'Economically it's a slam dunk.'"
