There are thermal pads that perform equally or better than thermal pastes, due to their design. In particular, something like https://thermalmanagement.honeywell.com/us/en/products/therm... can be better than a good thermal paste like https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products/16-kryonaut-en. The thermal conductivity is improved due to the use of a phase shifting material. Reliability is improved due to the fact that it will naturally return to solid without cracking during heat cycling.

The trick is to use shift+right click to access the old context menu. Incidentally, shift+right click also enables to copy the full path to any file in file explorer.

They have shipped a new default merging strategy, 'ort', that is supposedly better than the previous default strategy at resolving this kind of issue. You should probably try and see if it makes any difference.

There are two types of subtitles: for the hearing impaired and normal subtitles. English subtitles are usually for the hearing impaired, which means that they also add information about the sounds of the scene, like the phone is ringing or the music is playing.

I like to use Mailspring [https://getmailspring.com]. It does what it needs to do, without too much fuss. The UX is clear and I can connect multiple email accounts and use the unified inbox without any issue. I am in no way affiliated to the product.

If you use the Chrome sync phrase, Google cannot access your passwords and thus they are not visible in the online password manager. Furthermore, if you delete passwords client side, i.e. from the password manager in Chrome, you are also deleting the passwords server side. This allows you to delete all passwords at the same time using the classic Ctrl-Shift-Canc.

Usually you use an ID in place of the title of the note, because you may want to change the title at a later date. If you were to change the title, then you would have to also change any of the links. Therefore, you keep the ID the same and can change the title of the note without breaking any links.

The main difference between a FSM and a statechart is the compositionality aspect of the two formalisms. The FSM can be combined using the OR and the AND operators: the AND operator produces a number of states that is equal to the cartesian product of the original states of the two FSMs that are conjuncted. This means that you are limited in the usefulness of the FSM by the number of interactions between systems, because the number of states increases exponentially.

The statechart solves this problem by using a representation that allows both OR and AND avoiding the state explosion. Multiple states can be combined in a super-state, which allows to model common properties of the enclosed states, provided that the internal substates are XOR-ed, i.e. only one of them can be active in a given time. The advantage of the super-states is that they allow the specifier of the system to proceed in a top-down manner by specifying iteratevily the complete behaviour of the system. These super-states can also conjuncted, to model the interactions between the systems and to represent their parallelism. This conjunction creates implicit interactions between the two subsystems, which substitute the need to create the product FSM.

Both FSM and statecharts can represent the same behaviour of a system, but they differ in how easily understandable their representation can be for complex systems.

You need to pay to the creator to see the video content that is published on the platform. Since I was a subscriber to the site, I can tell you that the site does host videos from LTT.

CS:GO is still played internationally and there are also professional tournaments. So I would say that it is still a relevant benchmark.
