It's not even just about the lack of innovation, the demographic of facebook has changed and I can't blame people for wanting to leave It used to be for young uni students and posting photos of your night out, nowadays it's f

Exactly. My phone still once every few days struggles to connect to my headphones or my car, until I reset the phone and it all works fine again I've actually worked on a bluetooth stack, and even I have no idea why it's so unrel

It's interesting to see the lower review scores compared to video games, where every game is rated 75-100% Naturally over the years, video games have improved in visuals, design, cinematics, controls, etc. so they've ended up revi

Yeah so about $5000 according to the article. 4 years of 3 hours per walk doesn't seem like a good ROI I thought this article was going to be about they found an entire farm full of them

That is skewed by the vaccinations of course.

Hindsight is 20:20. It's easy to say after the fact once you've got the data, but I think the response was perfectly justified when an unknown strain was tearing through the population and it would be over a month until we start t

Same is done with the bluetooth standard. Manufacturers proudly claim their product uses bluetooth 5.0, reviewers assume that means higher speed and lower power, but the products don't actually have to support all sections of the stan

HSBC and barclaycard are both Visa credit cards. Not sure about the rest

Well that's annoying. Visa credit cards are very common in the UK, I myself use one for everything online. I don't know anyone who's got an American Express card in the UK Edit: Could it also be that Amazon offer their own M
