The transmitter would then need a 25c cortex M3 instead of a 10c cortex M0 - difficult to justify on a $30,000 car

Re: Another reminder

It did stop me stealing a VW polo.

Neither me, nor the owner of the same colour car parked on the same dark street bothered to lock the door.

Spent a long time trying to get the key to work before realising that there was a different selection of crap in the back of this car

Re: Money questions

>cost a lot less and do more than my aging $10K+ spectrum analyser.

We spent $30,000 on the our LeCroy digital storage scope, it had it's own rack on wheels

I just bought a $20 kit 1MHz DRO, with a color TFT screen, from chinese-crap-express

Re: almost never use remote key fob features

>I don't think it transmits far when used in this manor?

Not in this manor, It certainly wouldn't go sarf of the river guvn'r

Re: Level 3

For the benefit of the down vote, Bloomberg published an article suggesting that poor people on $289k or less would be more affected by inflation and should take transit and eat lentils to cope.

I do know that haggises don't lay eggs

Re: marsupial

The highland haggis uniquely has unequal length legs for stability on steep mountain slopes.

There are two sub-species left/right side short legs. These can face either left or right around the mountain, for obvious reasons these two populations cannot inter-breed.

Sadly they do not do well in captivity since they immediately fall over on a flat floor

Re: ElReg VR

Working from home?

Want to recreate the environment of bad fluorescent lighting, 1970s plastic furniture, 30 year old stained cubicle walls, the annoying chatter of Beryl in accounts and Baz in sales?

You need the new Metaverse-for-Office

Re: The porridge in that photo looks a bit odd, don’t you think?

Don't forget the sprig of green (actual nature of green not important)

Re: Metaverse - Neuromancer

The Metaverse was from Stephenson's Snow Crash

But by today's standards that Metaverse was a communist dystopia = they had public transport

Re: Not sure what level this would measure at...

>Nowadays renting a pet seems to have become a thing,

It went from :

That's stupid - who would ever do that

We could do that to make money

That's a terrible idea

California bans it

Every other sane state follows with it's own bans

in only a few years

Re: Level 3

That's only for the poors who earn less than $300K though

Re: Ahh Yes the "We have stopped supporting your device mid sub"

>Milking haggises. Please take a seat

Ridiculous - the Haggis is of course a marsupial.

Re: I don't understand capitalism

The problem is normally you IPO when your startup first begins to make money, and needs money to expand to make more money.

So paying 100x annual sales at IPO for Tesla /Apple /Microsoft would have you made you $$$$$.

Paying 100x annual sales for a 30year old company in a mature market that was public, now private and wants to go public again and whose message is 'we are culling staff to save money to make a profit" - doesn't sound quite as convincing

Re: I don't understand capitalism

It's a startup and if these new-fangled portable computer things ever catch on they could grow tremendously, they could be the next Mullard

Re: IBMs business process.

MBA: Ah, I see you have the server that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Re: Usual disingenuous claptrap from IBM

>but actually hired a load of 20 somethings.

I suspect not, no 20 something with permission to work in the USA and a choice went to IBM

They might have hired some 20 something H1s or some overseas contract labour - but nobody that recognises a keyboard would choose to work for IBM at this point

Re: The case shines a spotlight on the ongoing HR issues at IBM - And Elsewhere

>IBM got caught and should be raked over the coals.

IBM have already effectively destroyed themselves, they will live on as a government legacy platform and then finally as a patent troll - but IBM as a computer company is dead

Re: Weird

If you're at HP and buy something shiny and useless that you couldn't afford - you can always sue the person that sold it to you.

Re: I wish these sorts of investments came with some strings

Government buying shares of a company is socialism, government giving money to companies to give to the shareholders is capitalism

Re: Strasbourg, France

Nice of them to name it in German though, very multicultural the French

Re: > electric arcs of more than one meter

Less so if the air is filled with particles of nasty burning stuff

Re: Strasbourg, France

I thought it was in Belgium

Belgium isn't real,

Re: Strasbourg, France

Historically Strasbourg, France/Germany (please change the sign on your retreat)

Re: Who else wants popcorn?

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that phone auto complete is Skynet fscking with us because it's more fun than terminators.

Ps. Why isn't autocomplete in the phone's autocomplete list ?

Re: Who else wants popcorn?

400 deg C is a little hit for popcorn

Re: we'll miss out on this due to some idiots voting for Brexit.

US + UK version, the UK one won't require any data protection features

Re: Encryption is a legit process

>You may also have the problem of distinguishing between an attack and a program

What about, why is a receptionist's PC suddenly overwriting every file in every folder on every Dept's server?

In fact why does the mouth breathing external email clicking luser have write access to anything outside their one drive?
