Wow. It was only after reading comments on this post until that I remembered WHY I was more than happy to leave Reddit behind. Too bad so many of these diseased children moved over here.

It took just one comment: ’ What is “4000ac”? ’ to start the drool-fest.

Blaming another business? Hmmm. Sounds like Boeing’s attempted solution.

AND they might have had miniature cameras in them for the past 20 years.

(The laws against this stuff are almost non-existing. Option left for those of us creeped out by constant surveillance: don’t leave home, unplug that webcam. Demand privacy or lose it.)

Singapore has too many rich Chinese already.

If we try the rolling power-outage trick, we’d better make damned sure we get it right the first time. Because they’ve been well-trained to mimick us.

If you haven’t seen ‘The Forbin Project’ yet, there may still be time. I read somewhere that the author did two sequels, but I never actually got a chance to see either. Ever. Anywhere. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t in Maui those two days.

The how part.

Sounds about right … -some- of the older ICs are pretty rugged. OTOH, things I wonder about on the below-freezing side (colder things shrink) … include ROMs? Larger capacitors? Modern high-density RAM? FPGA? And then there’s water condensation (rust?) water freezing? (might even damage traces on PC boards)… (Wonder if there’s an archive of chip datesheets online?)

Glad to hear that! Yep he’s got a sense of humor -and- knows his stuff.

Oh well … at least we’ve still got Popular Mechanics.

A built-in 13-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera can be used to capture photographs and videos I bet other people won’t like the camera any more than they did with Google Glasses.

Photos can be viewed using the “Center” website on any web browser. Want to see photos? Gotta go to the website. All photos therefore shared. Along with notes, music listened to, reminders … Nuh-uh!

Not many people live there, but W. Australias’ Kimberley Coast has a section where the tide rises 36 feet.

Waves big enough to surf arrive.

Good point !

Makes it look like they’re doing something about crime. Doesn’t stop anyone from selling or buying them one, though, does it?

While YT is playing its games, I’ve found a half-dozen other ways to get at the videos. Very educational. I’m thinking they are learning a whole bunch about what people think of their way-too-aggressive approach … and how people usually respond to that behavior.
