Here’s the full physics analysis. Check out Figure V.4.
TL;DR: It varies a lot. If the average gravity over the whole disk is 1.0, it’ll be 2.0 near the center and taper off to ~0.2 near the outer edge.

It’s mostly uniform. There is variation by location, but the maximum difference is +/- 0.7% from the nominal value of 9.8 m/s^2.


There’s so much inefficient software these days. People routinely waste gigabytes on processes that should take megabytes.


Monitors do not need drivers. There would be no user impact to an ban on automatic installation of LG drivers.


Any statement by Microsoft that doesn’t include, “so we banned them from publishing auto-installed drivers for a year” is an insufficient response to this crime.


If I found out a friend worked for Flock, they wouldn’t be my friend anymore.

Ask yourself a different question:
What is the point of encrypting the drive if your computer decrypts it automatically?
Are you really worried about the case where a thief steals the hard drive but not the rest of the computer?
Joke’s on you, I’m bring piloted by Raccacoonie. 🦝


If it comes built-in, or it’s installed through their app store, then they should be held responsible for whatever happens.


Also free heating in summer, whether you want it or not.


A difference of 5dB is a factor of 3.1x. (i.e., Square root of 10.)
See that tiny region that overlaps? Not something to brag about, but that still makes them better than plenty of companies.


Womp womp.


TFTP is fine for LAN, but very inefficient for sending bulk data over the Internet.
To keep things as simple as possible, TFTP sends one packet at a time, waiting for a response before sending the next packet. If your ping is 50 ms, the that’s 20 whole packets per second. (That’s assuming zero packet loss, otherwise it will be even slower.)
For historical reasons, the packet size is locked to 512 useful bytes. That puts the transfer speed at 10 kB/s (80 kbps), which is faster than dialup but not by much.


Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah.


Horror episodes do exist, but they’re rare, and not generally representative of the series as a whole.


What sick person gets the license to make a Star Trek game, and decides survival horror is the best genre fit? Have they seen a single episode?
Get bent, fascist. You are literally Big Brother.
