Another question: Is there any place online (or can you just tell me) what the most common Android phone in use in the English-speaking world is? My half-hearted search suggests Android 11 and nothing whatever about the phone itself (or its default specs -- I want to write something for Android and want it be to available as possible).

I ran a cycle with a Finish dishwasher cleaning container in the dishwasher, then a regular cycle with dishes in there. Still no luck with the plastic dishes. Time for a specialist, I guess. Like we need to spend more money...

My suggestion would be to Google places that make custom phone cases and look at what their non-iphone offerings are since most businesses will only mass produce for the most popular models. Anecdotally I would say basically any Samsung Galaxy is one of the more common ones, which seems to track with this Wikipedia page (it's the highest selling one that isn't Apple or Nokia, the latter of which used to be huge but not really in a post-touchscreen market)

Time for a specialist, I guess. Like we need to spend more money... Couple things to check: Does it drain into a garbage disposal? Try running the garbage disposal for 10 seconds or so while running the sink tap to get rid of any food debris. And, do you have an air gap installed? They are usually not needed despite what the dishwasher instructions insist, but sometimes they are. It will look like a little metal cylinder on the back corner of your sink, like 3 inches tall that you've seen a million times and never thought about before. You can google for images of "dishwasher air gap" to see what it looks like. If you don't have one, installing one might resolve the issue. Little bit of a pain to install it when the dishwasher and sink are already installed, depending on what tools you have and your level of home repair ability.

I've run out of slots in my router/modem thing. Is it as simple as just buying a splitter thing to get more hubs? Am I sacrificing half my bandwidth in doing something like that?

What you want is a switch. Hubs perform the same function, but performance is worse and no one has intentionally used them in decades. Switches will still be bottlenecked by the one port they’re operating through, but it’s unlikely to be an issue. The limit is probably ten times higher than you get from your ISP anyway.

To be a little clearer - most routers tend to have with 1Gb or 10Gb ports, and those correspond to 12 MiB/s and 128 MiB/s respectively. To de-obfuscate, your ISP will give you numbers in megabits/gibabits, and the numbers you're used to seeing on your computer are megabytes/gigabytes. As 8 bits = 1 byte, ISPs give the largest-sounding number. The takeaway is that unless you have multiple machines downloading at 12 MiB/s on the same physical port, you don't have to worry about what kind of switch you buy. If you *do* do that, then you might have to load balance what ports in your router go where, and specifically search for a 10G(b) switch to facilitate that.

I mean, you're technically correct, but I don't think the distinction is likely to matter since you'd go into a shop, say "I want an ethernet hub please", and they'd hand you a switch since there aren't any hubs any more.

The bit/byte units are a mess. They are logical if used correctly, but people and businesses use and write them randomly so it's no wonder people are confused. MB/Mb/mb who knows what the person refers to if you don't know the context. Why are you selling me a 1000 millibit router???

Isn't a gig actually 1,024 mb? Like a mb is 1,024 kb, but we round off?

Leave posted:Isn't a gig actually 1,024 mb? Like a mb is 1,024 kb, but we round off? Thats the difference between giga and gibi and mega and mibi. Which is why the MiB term has started to appear more in recent times. I believe storage media list their capacity as Gigabytes which are 1000x but OSes use Gibibytes which are 1024x which another, but less severe difference. And I myself though of mega and giga as 1024 until recently when I learned that they are mebi and gibi. It's hard.

Leave posted:Isn't a gig actually 1,024 mb? Like a mb is 1,024 kb, but we round off? There is no “actually”. They are competing definitions. 1024 was used as an approximation in early computer software because it was quicker to calculate, there are physical reasons for things to break cleanly into powers of two (1024 is the tenth power of two), and being two point four percent off the conventional meaning of “kilo” was close enough. A centipede doesn’t have one hundred legs, you know? The inaccuracy grows with each step, though. A tebibyte (240) is nearly ten percent larger than a terabyte (1012).

I'm still waiting for them to release gigapedes before I upgrade. E: wait, hang on a sec, how come it's not "megapede" anyway? I thought "milli" was "thousandth", not "thousand". So they should have one extremely small leg, right? Hyperlynx fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Jun 6, 2023 |

I have a scale that can only handle a certain weight before giving an error message (20grams). If I put a mason jar on the scale for example, it immediately gives me an error. However, if I continue to hit the tare button while gently placing the jar down, it allows me to leave the mason jar in place without an error message. Will doing the gradual tare method affect the accuracy of the reading?

weigh something under 20 grams, do your method and then put that same thing in the jar and see if you get the same measurement

I'll see people use the explicitly-binary unit (KiB, MiB, etc.) in written communication for clarity, but I've never heard anyone use it in spoken language without rolling their eyes. It just sounds too silly -- the old joke is that kibibytes are what you use to measure kibbles 'n bits. So in my experience, people will say the old classic names (kilobyte, terabyte, whatever) or the abbreviations (K, megs, gigs) and it's perfectly clear from context if they mean the "real" unit (factor of 1024) or the "marketing" unit (factor of 1000, as seen on hard drive boxes).
