In my case, from the point the laptop died, to the point it was covered in rice was about 30 minutes. If you are fast, you can do this within the first 10 minutes. In my case, I left it like this for two weeks. Put your device together and test it — After sitting for a long time you can decide what counts as a long time , take your device out of the rice and assemble it again.
Clean as much of the rice and rice dust out of it as you can. With my laptop, I put together the bare minimum to simply get the computer on and test it. In , I dropped a phone and camera into the beach water off the coast of Miami. Last year in April, I dropped my phone into a small stream at the base of a waterfall. The phone was completely covered in water, and I pulled it out quickly, covered it with napkins and the phone survived.
You may also be wondering, what are the worst types of liquid you can drop your device into? As it turns out, salt water and chlorine are the liquids that most accelerate corrosiveness. Even worse, after drying up, these liquids will leave behind corrosive minerals that will continue to eat away the electronics hence, rinsing the device with fresh water before trying t dry your electronics.
Be very careful around the beach and the bleach. It is very true that a HV power supply will not be an electrocution risk if one of the following is true:. The HVPS is regulated and has a built-in current limiter that limits the current to less than 4 mA or so. The HVPS is non-regulated and has a source impedance such that the current cannot exceed 4 mA or so regardless of the load impedance.
But… but… it is still possible for someone to get zapped even if 1 or 2 is true. Or… what if the load has a lot of capacitance on its input? Just something to keep in the back of your mind. I am in the bathtub with my unplugged laptop Factual Questions. If I slip and if falls in, will I get shocked, or just ruin my laptop? So, um, when are you joining?
Not even scientific notation? We're drowning under the opinions of everyone at the moment. I regard it as largely value-free promotion that vaguely waves it's hands in the direction of education while missing the one, most crucial and overriding point about the whole mess. Professionalism is innate. Lastly, and on a lighter note, Micorsoft's new research programme , dedicated to improving human-computer interaction, clearly caused a few amused looks to be exchanged, and probably a couple of raised eyebrows too:.
So, Microsoft is going to make computers easier to use? Wow, that makes sense. I hope they use that OS, Bob. It was greatly under-appreciated. Or maybe the ultra intuitive Microsoft cordless phone that could use the software on the computer to match the caller ID with the name of the person in database but not the people in your address book.
Thankfully, the Microsoft of today is all about making computers easier to understand. Now when a support person calls and says what OS are you running the end-user replies because Word says on the XP load they have at home. Zhukov was convicted in May of multiple counts of fraud and money laundering. He was arrested in Bulgaria in and extradited to America the following year.
Future Chromium-based browsers under administrative control will be able to prevent users from viewing webpage source code for specific URLs, a capability that remained unavailable to enterprise customers for the past three years until a bug fix landed earlier this week.
Back on October 15, an employee of Amplified IT, a Google education partner since acquired by CDW, filed a bug report describing how the Chromium URL Blocklist — which administrators can set to conform with organization or enterprise policy — doesn't actually work. Evidently, tech savvy students were viewing the source code of web-based tests to determine the answers. It took Apple less than a year to seemingly start undoing decades of x86 and Intel dominance in the traditional PC chip market.
The Cupertino-based iMonster provided the boost needed for Arm-compatible chips to take noticeable desktop and laptop processor market share away from x86, said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research. Arm's market share in PC chips was about eight per cent during Q3 this year, climbing steadily from seven per cent in Q2, and up from only two per cent in Q3 , before Arm-compatible M1 Macs went on sale.
Black Hat Europe An astonishing piece of vulnerability probing gave infosec researchers a way into to Microsoft's management controls for Azure Cosmos DB — with full read and write privileges over customer databases. The so-called ChaosDB vuln gave Wiz researchers "access to the control panel of the underlying service" that hosts Azure Cosmos, Microsoft's managed cloudy document database service, they said.
Some Samsung phones managed by Microsoft Intune are dropping out of compliance after an automatic restart or update, the Windows giant has admitted. Samsung Galaxy kit running Android 9 or later with Android Device Administrator management or an Android Enterprise personally owned work profile are affected as well as Samsung Android 11 hardware provisioned as Android Enterprise fully managed devices.
The former can drop out of compliance after an auto-restart while a managed update can do for the latter.

An explosion in workplace monitoring during the pandemic — in part supported by common software tools from global vendors — threatens to erode trust in employers and employees' commitment to work, according to a European Commission research paper.
The study from the Joint Research Councils warns that excessive monitoring has negative psycho-social consequences including increased labour resistance, stress and turnover propensity, along with decreased job satisfaction and organisational commitment.
Meanwhile, a report published today from the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Future of Work said that "use of algorithmic surveillance, management and monitoring technologies that undertake new advisory functions, as well as traditional ones, has significantly increased during the pandemic. F designer Don Syme said this week that the new version, 6.
There was a telling moment in the. A developer asked: "What is the best way to do optional values in records in F? NET evangelist Scott Hanselman, with commendable honesty, acknowledged that "I know how to say the words but I don't know what they mean," while even Dollard was uncertain how to answer.
Autonomy's former chief financial officer has alleged the firm collapsed partly because two financial analysts agreed to badmouth it in the hope of making a profit from its demise. He accused former JP Morgan analyst Daud Khan and industry colleague Paul Morland, once of analyst firm Peel Hunt, of carrying out "concerted and improper efforts to depress Autonomy's share price for their and their short-selling clients' benefit" and being "vehemently antagonistic towards Autonomy and its management.
