Try a different web browser to see if there has been a change. If I click on here for example: https://www.scienceforums.net/forum/100-science-news/?do=add we can see that there is a delay (tens to hundreds of milliseconds) between the display of the static part of the page and the display of the correctly visible text area, which suggests that it is a dynamically created and/or asynchronously loaded element, i.e. in case of Internet problems (like slow upload/download speed), the asynchronous content is not loaded fast enough before the timeout occurs, hence its absence.

Every history book is full of violence. The Jews and Palestinians recently added another chapter to their book.

Why? It's stupid. The first thing Telegram does when you try it is ask you for your phone number and then send you a message to verify that it is your number! Only an idiot can claim that this is a safe, reliable and anti-spy method of communication.. I would rather use this forum than the Telegram app for secret and secure communication..

The proper procedure is on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipconfig "An important additional feature of ipconfig is to force refreshing of the DHCP IP address of the host computer to request a different IP address. This is done using two commands in sequence. First, ipconfig /release is executed to force the client to immediately give up its lease by sending the server a DHCP release notification which updates the server's status information and marks the old client's IP address as "available". Then, the command ipconfig /renew is executed to request a new IP address.[3][4] Where a computer is connected to a cable or DSL modem, it may have to be plugged directly into the modem network port to bypass the router, before using ipconfig /release and turning off the power for a period of time, to ensure that the old IP address is taken by another computer.[5]"

If you use Tor, the IP address of the Tor server will be displayed by showmyip.com, etc. If you use HTTP proxy, SOCKS4/5 proxy, the IP address of the proxy server will be displayed by showmyip.com etc. If you use VPN, the IP address of the VPN server will be displayed by showmyip.com etc. If someone hacked into your computer and passed the transmission through their computer (to intercept and change TCP/IP/UDP packets), you won't see the correct IP address..

IP address can be public or private. IP address can be static or dynamic. So we have four combinations: public static, public dynamic, private static, private dynamic. IP address can be in version v4, or in version v6. IPv4 is four decimal numbers separated by dots. IPv6 is many hexadecimal numbers separated by a colon. Be careful with these. They can encode a MAC address of a real machine, which can uniquely identify a person worldwide. A home computer with a WiFi card or a smartphone/tablet connected to home WiFi router with plugged modem, most likely has a private dynamic IP address assigned by DHCP. This will most likely be 192.168.0.x, where x is from 2 to 254 (because 0 and 255 are special purpose, and 1 is usually router). or 192.168.y.x (y=0...255). If you use Android smartphone as hotspot, your IP will be something like 192.168.43.100 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol If you connect the modem directly to your computer and your ISP is cool, you may have a public static IP address or at least a public dynamic IP address. Doubtful. Nowadays ISPs are screwing people over and such options are only for enterprises for more $$$.. You can check your IP addresses (yes, addresses! You can and will have multiple IP addresses!) by Start > cmd.exe and then ipconfig /all (on Windows), or ifconfig (on Linux). A typical computer (whether or not desktop or laptop) has at least 6 private IP addresses. 127.0.0.1 (IPv4 localhost) ::1 (IPv6 localhost), 192.168.x.y (IPv4 ethernet card) some IPv6 for ethernet card, 192.168.x.y (IPv4 wifi card) and some IPv6 WiFi card. If you will plug more modems or external WiFi USB, you will have more.. What showmyip.com etc. shows is IP address of your router/modem, or even your ISP IP address. Multiple people can have it. Once you have it, paste it here https://ipinfo.io/ to learn what is ASN. IP address with a slash like /16 means 16 bits are zeroes in the mask i.e. mask is 255.255.0.0. /8 means mask is 255.0.0.0 etc. If you have public static IP address, you can go to router configuration (typically in a web-browser open http://192.168.0.1 (no SSL!!! manually edit if needed) ) and configure port forwarding to your real machine. Install XAMPP on your desktop/laptop, configure port 80/443 forwarding to your private static IP (disable DHCP/configure DHCP to make your IP private static), and ask a friend (or use smartphone with LTE/5G) to visit your web server. https://www.apachefriends.org/pl/index.html (This way you can share things with other people/friends/family, with a higher level of security than sending them via email or to the cloud.. which is one of the most stupid things people can do. Sextels of Hollywood actresses came from the cloud. Their cloud) They want your money to make it static (so you'll have less trouble installing some server at home). Hundred or thousands of people share the same IPv4 address at the same time.. There is only 2^32 = 4.3 bln IPv4 addresses. Some not assigned, reserved, special purpose.. People have a couple smartphones, a couple computers, a couple of tablets, a couple of laptops etc. Every IoT device (e.g. camera, payment terminal) can have a separate SIM card.. Owners want/need to have their IPv6 address to connect them. IPv4 was exhausted in 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion Run this command in a loop in a script: wget -q -O- http://ipecho.net/plain With some delay, such as 15, 30, 60 minutes after each check. If they are really using a home WiFi router (and then, f.e. fiber cable), they should have the same IP address (as reported by showmyip.com, etc.) as all other devices using the same Internet connection (as long as you check things within a couple minutes, not hours or days). You need to check this. Once you see the IP, check each one individually in ipinfo.io ) The MAC address (BTW, it has nothing to do with Macintosh) is on the Ethernet card or WiFi card. Each of them is different. So you can have many different MAC addresses.. as many as network interfaces.. The arp command is used to display the MAC addresses of other machines on the LAN. Your machine is not included. On the Linux you do first e.g. nmap 192.168.0.0/24 and then arp. Otherwise some devices may be missing (and they will be if they have disabled ICMP)

One look at them, what they do, what they say, what they think, what they believe, to know that they are not Christians.. On Donald's election rallies we just see promotion of hate, love for guns, petrol industry, white supremacy supporters, neonazis, fascists, nationalists, complacent, ignorants.. The purpose of this thread is to offend and/or discredit true Christians? Being in church every Sunday and holiday does not make someone a Christian (the same goes for Muslims or Jews with their own holiday dates). I would say that it is exactly the opposite. People show their religiosity for the sake of others, for publicity, so that they may be regarded as such. More than once I have seen and heard old ladies going to church every day at 6:30 in the morning and their conversations were just gossiping about their neighbors and friends. Not a single worthwhile things worth saying with their mouths. Add to this preachers who have a distorted view of reality, and themselves incite to hatred, injustice, and encourage meanness, and that's total pathology.. Such are found on all sides of the barricade, both among Jews, Muslims and Christians.

I think it happened much earlier, in 1978..

We are glad that at least in the subject of defense of this planet we share common views..

The best are plasticine and polymer clay, thermosetting clay. You can make any toy out of them.

Photons absorbed by matter increase internal energy, i.e. body temperature. It is possible to indirectly detect light by studying the increase in body temperature.

The temperature rise (e.g. absorption of light) can be stored by an electronic device for later use on a memory card, etc. It does not need to be read by a human. It can be analyzed by a computer and autonomously perform certain actions. It does not have to be electronic. A bimetal can cut off the gas supply when too high a level is reached (used in gas water heating).

Absorption of photons by atoms and molecules increases internal energy. You don't have to see the light to feel it, i.e., the increased temperature. MW, IR were detected centuries ago by the first scientists, who learned that the light split by the prism had an invisible (to the human eye) range that increased the temperature of the water.

I don't see any added value in your OP. The photon is absorbed by the eye and converted into electrical impulses. I think that's obvious. The same is true for any other electrical device that responds to photons of any frequency, whether it is visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, radio wave.. The CPU then takes care of the rest and interprets it accordingly..

Some people will do anything to get money, commit countless crimes, will do anything to keep the wealth they have.. How to find out if a husband and wife love each other in a poor family? Give them a Lotto win and observe what happens later.. Without money, there would be no drug producers and drug dealers, except for those who are addicted.

Modern operating systems are complex and sophisticated entities. What user see is less than a tip of iceberg.. Modern operating systems are multithreaded, which means that multiple applications can run in parallel. If an extensive operation is running in the background, the processor and graphics card are busy performing tasks, not what you are asking them to do. Hence the delays and user frustration. Use Control-Alt-Delete and open Task/Process Manager and identify where the computer is losing all its power on what it is busy with. In the case of a web browser or other web application, each keystroke may send data to/from the web server, and poor internet transmission speed can be a bottleneck and a source of slowdown. Yeah, I know, it's annoying.. In extreme cases, it could be a symptom of a hacker hacking into your computer. i.e., the hacker runs code that mirrors your desktop, which requires extensive screen capture and sending it over the network. Hexadecimal or decimal format are only for human convenience (in documentation and source code). For a computer, it is always binary format. Keyboard sends scan codes (PS/2 keyboard) or HID scan codes (USB keyboard). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scancode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_human_interface_device_class The scan codes are converted by the operating system into virtual keyboard codes. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes This happens at the application level when the developer uses the MapVirtualKey or MapVirtualKeyEx function: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-mapvirtualkeya Finally, the virtual key codes are converted to ASCII (ToAscii() function), or more commonly these days, Unicode (ToUnicode() function): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-tounicode https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-toascii The proper name is framebuffer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer

A computer, as the name implies, computes. Other electronic devices also computes, f.e. changing the volume of a sound is an analogous multiplication. In a computer, the main difference is that what is done is controlled by a program that can be changed on demand.

The computer has read-only memory (ROM/BIOS) and regular read-write memory (RAM). The read-only memory contains the booting instructions which reads data from the boot sector of the boot drive and later passes control to the bootloader which loads operating system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootloader Processors have instructions. Hundreds or thousands performing various basic tasks. Logical operations, arithmetic operations, binary operations, memory operations, floating point operations, special purpose operations. They are performed in sequence. This is called a program. A program can be stored in ROM or RAM. Programs are loaded from external storage (HDD, SSD, flash drive, etc.) into RAM, and then executed by the OS. A modern processor can execute billions of instructions per second. Programmers write programs in their favorite language that they know or like, or that is required to perform a specific task (not all languages are good enough for every task). High level languages are compiled into final CPU instruction set ("machine code") (e.g. C/C++), interpreted by virtual machine (Java/C#), or interpreted by interpreter (e.g. Python, Perl, PHP, JavaScript, Bash). Interpreters are slow (1000x slower than C/C++), virtual machine code (Java/C#) is "just" 4x slower than C/C++. You can try out some languages without installing anything in an online debugger accessible through a web browser. Here you have Python (just press "Run" button): https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_python_debugger Read the Python tutorial and start coding in the online debugger https://www.google.com/search?q=python+tutorial W3Schools has easy to understand tutorials for newbies https://www.w3schools.com/python/default.asp

A defective component such as a processor, integrated circuit, etc. often emits heat when it is damaged. More current flows through the short circuit and this energy must be dissipated in some way. IR = infrared.

If you like such toys, buy an IR camera that plugs into your phone's USB-C. FLIR ONE PRO. If some electronic device is damaged, simply disassemble it, connect the power supply and start observation in IR. Damaged components often overheat and are visible in IR.

Wrong. You're lucky to have such cheap gasoline. Compare with the rest of the G20 world: "Average gasoline price in the Group of 20 in June 2023, by member country (in U.S. dollars per liter)" https://www.statista.com/statistics/1406584/g20-gasoline-average-price-by-country/ 1 gallon = 3.8 L In European countries, excise taxes and VAT are added, making up a significant portion of their budgets (so basically their governments screw their citizens - now financial experts wonder what they will do with EV which people can plug to their home installations, which means no income to budget from this sector anymore, unless they will somehow forbid such activity). Here, the retail price of 1L gasoline is $1.6. Before excise tax and VAT, the price is.. $0.9 per L. In addition, the largest gasoline producers and distributors are state-owned. And the corporations send the money they earn year after year to the budget as dividends. Ethanol can be made from CO2 and H2O and solar energy. The automotive industry can still use liquid fuels (which is desirable for some applications).

You are mistaken. Check the dates and times. The post in this thread predates the one which you mentioned..

I never post and rarely read the forum from a cell phone or tablet. But often on a regular computer, when making a longer reply that involves copying and pasting links or quotes from articles (which requires switching tabs and/or browser windows), the forum software automatically reloads the page. Sometimes it ends up with the whole post disappearing while editing, sometimes it's still there, but you have to click "reply to this topic...".

Not many people, at the same time, that is, if you are watching a TV screen, you don't have time to read (especially technical/scientific articles that require special attention). I wasn't talking about ability, but about how someone spends their (free) time. It was not a prejudice, but a joke. Play of words. And true one. It applies to every nation. But Americans have one of the largest shares of Netflix (53% of U.S. homes had a subscription in 2022, which is counted in tens of millions). If you spend all your free time after work after school watching episode after episode, you don't have time for anything else, including reading valuable (or not valuable) things. You don't have to be a genius to understand this.

+1 to the Americans Most Americans don't read. They have Netflix..
