Depends on the shoe and the amount. I mostly wear sneakers and never had any build up. You just put a bit of powder and shake it in the shoe. Humidity will dissolve the powder, some will wick into socks, protecting them as well. If you stil

One of the really day-to-day useful uses of Boric Acid (I believe borax is also effective) is to add it in powdered form to shoes to kill any bacteria growth. I started doing this a few years ago after watching a video from Big Clive where

I think the message is true but misses a major point: yes, using existing hardware, we generally have some buffer though the simple fact of delaying replacement or new purchases. Equipment can recirculate (second-hand) and be maintained. Wh

That's a pretty disparaging and uncompromising view. Banning single-plastic use in removes millions of tons of plastic from the ending up in the sea. That is a net benefit for very little effort and inconvenience. It's not going t

I wonder if there wouldn't be value in making the process of liking and sharing to something more onerous so it's not just one click away but requires work , at least for any negative sentiment to be re-shared. Everyone would the

1) how would you know someone's being framed if it's not detected as such? in this case it just looks like the target had CSAM on their machine/account and they are found guilty, despite their objections, maybe because no-one

It boggles the mind that you have to install an extension to get that simple basic feature that was present in all browsers before. Also, for some reason, I setup a new machine today, with latest Win10 updates and the only section I have on

I'm always glad when I see Firefox churning along a new version. My overwhelming feeling is one of gratitude to the devs and people working on Firefox. It's the last bastion of Browser independence with super-high customizability.

There is a huge difference between an OS-level feature and an App-level feature. Once it's embedded in the OS there is basically nothing stopping the extension of "features" to also eventually scan everything else at some poi

Apple could have solved the issue by making iCloud photo sharing its own separate App. The App could have done the scanning before sending and I would be free to not install it on my phone if I don't use iCloud photo sharing. Instead,

The use of the detection algorithm is for iCloud only today . Now that the technology is on-board the device, how many lines of codes do you think it will take to scan the full photo-roll? Do you think that this ability will not tempt LEA,

I'm sure the crypto part is well implemented. However, I make the prognostic that within the next 2 years, the Chinese government will force Apple to use its own database of "objectionable" content and will require that the o

No-one was suggesting that China was behind this move. We're talking about China taking advantage of this integrated technology to increase control over its population through backdoors like these. China already imposes that all data f

What has changed is the inclusion of spyware technology on the device that can be weaponised to basically report on anything. Today it's only geared toward iCloud and CSAM. How many lines of codes do you think it will take before it sc

Last time I checked it was wrongly reported as malware and blocked at the browser level. At least it's accessible now but there may be some latency in Defender getting updated. The tool is sound. Unless your company explicitly disallow

I really don't understand the issue. Protonmail is subjected to the Laws of Switzerland. These laws require that foreign requests be first approved by Swiss authorities, which is already a huge protection from rogue actors, as it shiel

I wish we had better fire protection against these batteries. As we're ramping up production and large packs become ubiquitous, in cars, factories, houses, we're really ill-equipped to combat their nasty tendency to burst into fla

That's a pretty narrow view of the purpose of an ID card... If only there were other ways of knowing how to differentiate people when it's really necessary, you know, for medical or justified legal reasons.

Any device that requires someone to install and app and register to make it work should have a prominent label on the box. There should be a labelling standard for this where the manufacturer must disclose if any registration is required to

This is going a step further than what I always thought as being unnecessary: having your sex on ID and passport. I don't see any real reason why this is still required, or why it matter that the sex of a person be present on an ID doc

The average monthly salary in Thailand is USD250. It's unlikely that Starlink will be anything else than niche in countries where it would cost people half of their salary. Assuming that they can get the equipment at all. StarLink may
