I have an option for it in the Firefox settings.. about:preferences tab "Open links in tabs instead of new windows"

If it is several LEDs in one bulb, you can see which one has failed, as they are often dark/black upon close inspection.

..price.. ? ..quality.. ?

The oxidation layer acts as an insulator, increasing energy consumption. So it is better not to have it than to have it.

I would start by checking whether the spotlights are connected in parallel or in series. If one is flashing and they are in parallel, it is most likely a defective or defective-to-be spotlight or the wires going to it, otherwise all spotlights would flash, isn't? If you have (doubtful) a lab power supply where you can regulate the voltage and maximum current and observe what is really being drawn, this would be much easier. It is an essential device for electronics engineers. The cheapest brand new Chinese I can find here is for $60. Just plug a spotlight into it and start at 0A and go from there. You would see if there is flashing or not. You can replace places of spotlight which flashes with the one which is not and vice versa, to see if there is a change. Is there any important information missing in the OP? Did you use halogen bulbs and then replaced them by LEDs? Otherwise the above statement makes no sense.. LEDs should be powered from designed for them switched-mode power supply and halogens should be powered from designed for them power supply. Some LEDs require constant current power supply. https://www.google.com/search?q=led+constant+current+power+supply You dim LEDs by PWM, Pulse-Width-Modulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation https://www.google.com/search?q=pulse+width+modulation+led+brightness+control (which is a different technique from voltage or current regulation) ..or maybe there is an oxidizing layer between the socket and the LED bulb.. Try an acid, such as acetic acid, to remove the oxidation layer, then clean with isopropanol (IPA).

This is the most reliable way to prevent unauthorized access to files you do not want to share with others. I already said - it depends on the operating system and the file system used. Windows OS has functions SetFileTime. Read the docs. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-setfiletime and GetFileTime https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-getfiletime From the user's perspective, RMB on the file and use Properties, and you will have there the timestamps of creation time, last write and last access. "not able to be trusted or believed" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/uk/dictionary/english/unreliable i.e., it can be easily faked. If someone connects your disk to Linux, you will have nothing.. i.e. you will have the misconception that it has not been read. I clicked RMB on some files on VBox with Win10, opened the Properties window and now I see that it caused an update of the last access time..

There is a flash drive with a built-in keypad where you have to enter a PIN code to access it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395407083462 so, unauthorized person will have difficulty at accessing it.. If you format a flash drive to ext4 instead of NTFS/FAT32/exFAT, it will not be accessible from a standard Windows OS, only from Linux. There are data encryption programs, which you might use.. 7zip and zip have built-in encryption algorithms.

It depends on how it was connected to the computer, file system on drive, and which operating system you are using.. If the device was connected with your consent via a USB adapter and it is Windows the information about connected USB devices can be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlSet / Enum / USBSTOR. https://www.cybrary.it/blog/usb-forensics-find-the-history-of-every-connected-usb-device-on-your-computer ps. Generally unreliable. Easy to fake if somebody has some malicious purpose. Some file systems store information about when a file was created, modified and last accessed.

GSM is an outdated and flawed protocol. You can pretend to be another number, any number.. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gsm+spoof Check this procedure: https://smartphones.gadgethacks.com/how-to/make-spoofed-calls-using-any-phone-number-you-want-right-from-your-smartphone-0242383/ The apps you need for this are in the Apple Store and Google Play Store (and seem to have pretty good rankings). Try it out and tell us how/whether it works. I didn't use the phone for calling for about ten years. And it was just pizzas from third-party devices.

The most basic equation of gravity does not require any significant knowledge, except the ability to think, measure and calculate. i.e., drop an object from a height d and measure the time it spent flying toward the ground. You get a few samples and derive the equation d=1/2 a t^2. The problem with people is that 1) there was no free public education for all people until the end of the 19th century 2) only a fraction of rich aristocrats (later also rich townsfolks) (a few who could read, write and count) were interested in science. Because of this, for centuries and millennia, there was slow development because they were more interested in their daily lives, and increase of their personal assets, not in the development of science. Nowadays, too, only a small fraction of the population is engaged in science. But because the population is huge, there is the largest absolute number of scientists in the world.

..a brake on killing and stealing everything from all others.. ?

People are very selective. They worry about things that have a tiny chance of killing them, and they don't worry about things that will have a huge chance of killing them..

..between two electrically charged particles also exists a void.. The solid state of matter is an illusion (human perception of time etc.) that exists only in a state of very low energy. The longest physical experiment has been going on for 97 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment

From nothing, you can only grow, gaining experience as you go.. without detection the rest is irrelevant.. They are useless if they warn days or weeks before a close flyby of an asteroid hundreds of meters in size. IOW, disallowing for any sensible reaction (which requires years of preparation, or in extremity months) Now you start with nothing. Then you build one, launch, place in orbit, then you build a second, launch, place in orbit, then you build a third, place in orbit.. then you repeat it over and over and over.. Endless work. Some will have problems sooner or later and need to be replaced. "Cloud" is "a dynamically allocated number of resources to meet current demand."

How many times has a Powerball winner won twice or three or four in a row? You accept the risk every time you leave your apartment. You are more likely to die in a car accident than in any space accident. And you adjust to the most likely possibilities. And you solve them. Man has detected/confirmed one, so far, AFAIK. IOW, rephrasing the question, what if the ejected black hole is on its way toward Earth? You can learn about it with a similar delay as in the case of an ordinary space asteroid, or less. i.e. do you already have a plan against "ejected black holes"? https://science.nasa.gov/missions/hubble/hubble-sees-possible-runaway-black-hole-creating-a-trail-of-stars/ Haven't currently existing telescopes shown their uselessness by failing to detect asteroids flying toward Earth? How many do you need to use cloud in the name? Is 10 a cloud? Is 20 a cloud?

The simplest defense would be to harvest/mine a potentially dangerous solar system asteroid long before it is on a straight path to Earth, using transport rockets that take off in such a way that they are slightly displaced to another orbit, just because rocket(s) started from it. Most sensible for some metallic/solid asteroids. Mining on the asteroid would also allow nuclear weapons (useless here on Earth) to be placed there, in the core, just in case they are urgently needed before the asteroid is fully depleted but on its way to Earth. The best time to blow up such an asteroid is when it is on the other side of the sun from Earth, 300 million kilometers away. Before blowing it up, matter could be extracted from it in this way: Of course, to begin with, what is needed is proper detection of all objects orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 200 million km. What is needed, then, is a cloud of drones/satellites to do this.. Then extend distance in the future to further areas of solar system. Not exclusively in accretion disk orbit, but also sphere around the Sun, to detect also non-solar objects..

Chrome is a Google product, so this is to be expected.. Conflict of interest.. Currently on my mobile Android, on SFN, ads appear every few posts or threads.

LOL. I say the same thing about reading anything on a laptop screen 13.6".. Here the laptop is connected all day long to a docking station to which 40", 27", 24" monitors are connected.. I'll give you a tip: if the application does not allow you to zoom in/out, take a screenshot and in the image viewer you can zoom in/out.. There should be apps available in the Google Play store to zoom in/out parts of the screen. Old flat screen TVs are very energy hungry. Connect a wattmeter to measure it and calculate the cost. TV with 100W consumption, running 10h per day, with energy price $0.29 per kWh, in a year of use will cost you $106. BTW, you can connect modern smartphones to OTG adapter and then to hub and plug USB keyboard, mouse, external SDD, pendrive, ethernet etc. and mirror phone display on flat TV screen too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go Check it in the shop first. There are different variations. micro-B USB for old phones, USB-C v2.x for newer phones, USB-C v3.x for newest phones.

I bought mine just to write applications on them.. Try Kali NetHunter Rootless Edition https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/nethunter-rootless/ Better if you have a >6" display and/or an external display (mirror screen/share screen function). It is a "Linux emulator on an Android phone". So you have a mouse cursor, terminal, bash etc. etc. (obviously, with a rooted phone will work better, but it's better than nothing).

The definition of the system obviously you can find in the C/C++ references https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/program/system https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/program/system "Defined in header <stdlib.h>"..

@Ghideon A supercomputer ("cloud") for OpenAI/ChatGPT, etc. is needed to handle hundreds of thousands or millions of people talking with it simultaneously..

Show the brand and, more importantly, the model ID, then we will be able to tell more.. Your question is a bit like asking "is a $10 book worth reading?".. Too ambiguous. There are games with high requirements and there are games without requirements. mp4 and especially mp3 does not require high requirements, unless it is 4K+. YouTube automatically selects the most optimal resolution for your device. Modern websites are quite demanding. They have many video ads on the screen at the same time.. If the device is too weak, enjoyment will be low and annoyance high. Most of the mobile operators here have dropped 2G and are in the process of dropping 3G, so older cell phones won't even connect to the Internet (if you plan to buy a used and/or leased device). The same thing will happen sooner or later with 4G (aka LTE). Older devices lack support and updates, so older mobile browsers may have trouble opening modern websites. Legacy devices with well-known bugs are trivial to hack..

Here we have an application that identifies mountains based by GPS, compass and comparing the line between them and the sky with an internal database. Then it draws an overlay on the camera view and provides detailed information about the mountain, such as name, elevation, distance from the user, etc. It records which mountains were conquered and which were left to conquer.

..before you can walk, you must learn to crawl. Starting with difficult problems at the beginning causes loss of interest, burnout and overall failure.
