I doubt the exact price will be leaked before launch day, but I'd expect them to be pretty expensive like their other original products.

Core Utility and Total CPU Utility include turbo/PBO speeds. It's normal (and expected) for them to read more than 100%.

Not sure what it was, but taking a stab in the dark I suspect it was an issue with bidirectional bluetooth. Bluetooth massively reduces audio quality when using a device as both an audio input and output. Games are pretty likely to automatically pick up microphones, while most other applications won't.
 
To fix it, just disable the associated input device in your audio devices and use a different microphone.

Most string to numeric converting functions have bounds checking, and the ones that don't shouldn't be used on values that could be outside of the acceptable range. In the case of C with an unsigned integer you would generally use strtoul(), which sets errno if the value is out of bounds. You can check that as follows:
 
#include <errno.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(void) { const char *strNum = "-40"; char *end = NULL; unsigned int num = strtoul(strNum, &end, 10); // overflows if (errno == ERANGE) { // You've just had a range error errno = 0; } }

What do you mean by this? You use the instruction that does what you want to do.

There's a discussion in a video around the release of the screwdriver, I don't remember which one exactly, that they had tried other coatings and black chrome was the best balance of cost, looks, and durability. More durable coatings were either too costly or too ugly.

Coil whine usually comes from internal vibration, at least in components common to current computers, and is notoriously difficult to track down to a specific component. Even if you got the right component, hot glue would do nothing but get hot glue all over your GPU.

This is just untrue. Consumer viruses are still a common occurrence even on fully updated hardware. Just look at the troubleshooting category on this very website if you want a constant stream of counterexamples. Most of the users of those 240 million machines would not be able to keep themselves safe for long on an unpatched OS.
 
Even as a conscientious user, putting an EOL OS on the internet, especially XP, in 2023 (or 2024 for that matter) is a horrible idea. All it takes is one wrong click, or even no wrong clicks, and now your computer has stolen everything you ever put on it and bricked itself. There are hundreds of unpatched zero click/"drive-by" vulnerabilities on XP.

You could effectively do "reference counting" on tabs and windows, basically your code would keep track of the tabs and windows as it opens and closes them. However, this is unreliable if a tab or window is opened/closed when your code doesn't expect it.
 
Beyond that, perhaps computer vision, but that adds a lot of complexity. Maybe one of the many chromium based browsers has more predictable process usage?
 
What is preventing you from using an extension?

To my knowledge, there is not yet a game that requires an NVMe SSD for a good experience, but that day is coming, and I don't think it's far off. Alan Wake 2 is probably the closest so far. It can have some pop-in even on SATA SSDs, and if given the leeway it can pull up to 2.7 GB/s. [https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/alan-wake-2-punishes-your-ssd-at-27-gbs]
 
On the bright side, NVMe SSDs have basically caught up to SATA SSDs in cost. In my opinion lack of PCIe bandwidth or m.2 slots are the only compelling reasons to use SATA drives now.

It's certainly possible that you'll get the correct plug, but I wouldn't assume that, especially if your region isn't an option on their website.

Ublock Origin has worked almost flawlessly through this whole fiasco, perhaps an hour or two of downtime immediately after YouTube changes their adblock detection, then it's back and blocking ads again.

The adblock blocking is going to die down eventually when whichever executive decided cracking down on ad blockers would justify their existence for a few quarters gets bored, declares victory, and moves on to squeezing pennies out of someone else.
 
As for your idea, suffice to say it won't work. The ad player isn't the important part of ad blocking. Google can tell which video you've downloaded from them. Ad blocking on YouTube needs to be more sophisticated than just trying to swap out the ad video to trick that.

Nope. For cables the difference is all in signal integrity, and figuring that out is effectively impossible at home. The only option is to try the cable and if the resolution you want doesn't work, try another.

On the bright side, this means it's possible for old cables (especially short ones) to be capable of more than they were originally rated for.

And the S20 FE is not the Tab A 10.1.
 
Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab S devices from that time period started getting wired display output, but Galaxy Tab A devices did not have it until the Tab A9+ (and only the + version) released a week ago.

No, the Tab A 10.1 can't output to a display via the USB-C port.

Wired controllers didn't need to be authorized, and unauthorized wireless controllers used their own dongles to mimic wired controllers. Both of those skirted Microsoft's licensing fees. That's what Microsoft is cracking down on.

Gotta squeeze more blood from this stone somehow. Such is the way of things in 2023.

You've already tried everything (and more) than I would have suggested that doesn't involve file loss. My suggestion is try to contact your company tech support and boss to explain the situation and try to get a solution, and in the meantime do whatever you can without an internet connection.
