Or using a similar technique if not using SDIO? If yes, can all of the required hardware fit on a microSD card or only on a full-size SD card? Apparently SD cards with an integrated Wireless LAN controller were already Nov 07 06:45:46 commercially available in 2014 or earlier but I do not know if such cards are only full-size, not Mini SD nor smaller. Nov 07 06:52:36 Full-size, most likely, but I don't remember. microSDIO cards would have needed an external antenna, at the very least Nov 07 07:09:01 Is the maximum output power of a (household, countertop) microwave oven usually around 300 W less than the input power? My LG from 2000 at home is 1050 W in, maximum 700 W out; the Sanyo from 1994 at my office is 900 W in, maximum 600 W out. We had a 700 W maximum output Sanyo from 1990 but I do not remember what the input power rating was. Nov 07 07:22:24 On the subject of strange marketing: I am reading https://www.logmein.com/ and wondering what benefit the advertised services provide over simply using SSH or RDP over a Hamachi Virtual LAN. Nov 07 07:24:59 My impression is that the advertised services are redundant because RDP over a virtual LAN already provides the same benefits. Nov 07 07:28:23 “We Unlock the Potential of the Modern Workforce” Nov 07 07:28:23 Does the modern workforce need a notebook computer if a handheld computer can run the same software as a notebook computer or remotely control a stationary computer for software that cannot run on a handheld computer? Nov 07 07:45:13 Is the HTC Dream still useful in 2018? It was released slightly over a decade ago so I guess it is cheap by now. Nov 07 07:51:35 Rogers Wireless released the Dream in Canada so I guess the cellular data connectivity on the Dream in Canada is fast enough to be usable, unlike the N900 in Canada. Nov 07 07:53:20 Apparently the Dream has only 192 MiB of main memory, though, which is even worse than the N900. Nov 07 08:08:51 The HTC myTouch 4G Slide seems to have better hardware specifications than the HTC Desire Z, which seems to have better hardware specifications than the HTC Dream. Nov 07 08:12:10 Apparently the myTouch 4G Slide can unofficially run up to Android OS 4.4 (CyanogenMod 11), which usually still suffices in 2018 for my use case. It has no integrated LTE connectivity but HSPA is probably already fast enough. Nov 07 08:14:54 I think I value an integrated hardware keyboard and easily removable battery more than LTE connectivity and an AMOLED display. I love the AMOLED display on the Galaxy Note 3 but the AMLCD on the LG G5 seems nice too. Nov 07 12:09:34 brolin_empey: theoretically you could get a AM radio on uSD, with external antenna. || microwave ovens are labeled by useful outout, input is up to twice that Nov 07 12:14:05 you lost me on >>advertised services provide over simply using SSH or RDP over a Hamachi Virtual LAN<< Nov 07 19:50:06 DocScrutinizer05: You mean using microSDIO? Nov 07 19:50:47 prolly Nov 07 19:51:20 it doesn't matter since afaik such thing doesn't exist Nov 07 19:52:38 I only know of mini or normal size formfactor SD/MMC cards with WLAN Nov 07 19:52:54 among other stuff. IIRC HDD exist too Nov 07 19:53:38 with a drive size of a coin Nov 07 19:55:30 reminds me of the one in Nokia N91 Nov 07 20:17:20 ooh, GPS and 3G MMC cards too, with antenna "limb" **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Nov 07 23:30:56 2018 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Nov 08 02:59:59 2018
