Ridiculously clickbait headline. TLDR: it's more profitable for carriers to take empty containers back to China to refill with export goods, than to fill them with American cargo. "Bowing to China.." implies some kind of Chin

Bit fucking late. Like a lot of others, I've moved on in the meantime. In my case to hosting my own email with Mail in a Box [0]. So I'd like to thank Google for providing me with the impetus to add a new string to my bow! [0] h

I'd much rather have a smaller thicker phone than a larger thinner one. The fetish for making electronic devices ever thinner is another one that passes me by. In my book 'thinner = more fragile" And, when it comes to 'p

I'll see your Galaxy S10e and raise you a Galaxy S7. Just the right size for me and still going strong, in spite of the fact it was second hand already, when I bought it off eBay about 4 or 5 years ago. I really don't know why peo

I probably misled you there by my use of the word "deposited". I meant it pretty generically, as I don't know the exact process by which the various layers of such a screen are constructed. So "deposited" seemed lik

Supposedly it's easier to deposit the eInk layer onto thin glass than thin plastic. So cheaper to manufacture[?] But I've been reading reviews dating back years, heralding the advent of flexible eInk screens using plastic substrat

Carrots are one of those veggies that I like raw but can't stand cooked. I don't mind them as one of several ingredients in something like a casserole or a soup. But cooked carrots served as a veg in their own right, I find disgus

Of course not. But if you think the US wasn't up to its usual 'poking the wasp's nest' tricks behind the scenes then you're incredibly naive. The US will be the big winner from this crisis. Russia is fucked, Ukraine
