Yes that is a good link summarizing the issue. If anything the perpetuation of the practice is making it harder for the actually-safe batteries. For example, TSA bans checking loose cordless drill li-ion batteries, despite them obviously ha

I think a more insightful answer is how often is it acceptable for the reserves to actually be cut into. If this was happening often, then there’s a likelihood of a future disaster. As it is there is 1 isolated case that still ended with a

Add this to the list of “18650 cells being incorrectly used as removable batteries”. At this point the sale of those battery holders should be banned…

I think it might be related to them charging say $100 instead of $5 for the device and providing "lifetime" (read: "indefinite") access to their IoT Cloud. Except there are no guarantees on the duration of that access. A

What's odd is that the search engines, youtube, etc. get to claim the impartiality towards content applies to "impartiality" towards ads. I am younger, and I still almost got scammed trying to find a phone number to call a tr

Not in any way to defend Ticketmaster's unscrupulousness, but my undergraduate university used TM for the student football tickets and we had none of the unfairness, which leads me to agree with the sentiments that TM is actually follo

I admire their solution to the modulo fair randomness issue is just "re-rolling" the out of scope (7,8,9, or 0) values.

Reading the criticism, I just came to a completely opposite conclusion regarding the magsafe battery: is the iPhone Air the answer to the people complaining about no removable battery? Make the body thinner, still waterproof, and you can ha

I'm totally against running Stingrays willy-nilly at protests, but this story seems like a non-issue. They had a warrant to track someone down, narrowed it to 30 blocks, then used the Stingray for final location tracking. Doesn't

For a package with thousands of downloads a week, does the publishing pace need to be so fast? New version could be uploaded to NPM, then perhaps a notification email to the maintainer saying it will go live on XX date and click here to can

I’m disappointed none of the proposed fixes are for CGDisplayCopyAllDisplayModes to have the “first” option on the list be the BEST option, taking into account the notch. The author hinted that many games pick the first option, so rather th

It's funny to reason why we must go to bed when the clock has a certain number, since modern technology could easily be programmed to adjust as needed. No technical reasons the Martians can't go to bed at 9:00am today and 9:40am t

The issue you’re highlighting is called the sight triangle. There are supposed to be restrictions on maximum landscaping height, etc, so you can see from the stop bar. Unfortunately many smaller crossings violate this. For example see fig.
