I really want one as soon I could order it. Looks like the perfect device for a quick rest. Even with decent work schedules, having a quick rest after lunch would be great. In the meantime I am practising micro-naps while sitting upright an

If the shop can do it easier, prices tend to be lower. Exchanging a broken back is vastly cheaper on the iPhone 15 compared to the 14. And of course, it makes a difference for the environment, whether a device can be repaired for a reasonab

In my eyes, iFixit is doing the customers and the environment a disservice with mixing the actual repairability with the question of "DRM" in parts. Yes, limitations of self-repair should be clearly pointed out and discussed criti

One thing I dislike about this decision is, that it conflates the limitations for third parties repairing an iPhone with the ability to repair a device at all. Yes, in an ideal world it would be easy and cheap to repair a device. Good point

Its like poisenous plants. Being poisenous doesn't prevent the single plant from getting eaten. But it makes it very unlikely, that a lot plants of that species get eaten. So while a single iPhone might get stolen, overall there are le

Of course, as anyone who has a bit of scientific knowledge knows, it isn't a myth. It is an effect on top of the natural climate change caused by raising the CO2 content by 50%, mostly in the last 50 years. This causes a very quick war

What exactly is amusing? Large asteroids have the capability of introducing a sufficient large temporary disturbance of the worlds climate so that an extinction cascade might be triggered. It doesn't have to kill every single animal, j

My impression is, that Libya is at least split into two major factions and as they are bound in their internal conflict there is no international politic any more. Which conveniently allowed the west to mostly forget about Libya. I saw a he

How would you connect your iPhone to HDMI for example? Port charging is faster and more efficient than magsafe. The USB-C data transfer speed is great for data exchange. It is, afterall the "Pro" model.

Nobody said something about stopping building probes. That will continue and eventually lead to probes which might approach the speed of light. But the achievable targets for the next decades are planetary, not interstellar.

by _ph_ 3y ago
The problem is, when would we get an answer? Even in the best case, that would be 240 years. But we don't have the capability of building probes which approach the speed of light, so with current technology, it is probably hundreds of

I am not sure, while the values obtained this way might require calibration, it sounds like very controlled conditions to me. The exercise should bring your body into a very controlled state, beyond the physical load very relaxed. So after

You are so right. Earlier this year I had to spend a week in hospital and they took a variety of measurements every day. It was interesting to see how much variation there was, especially in blood pressure. But one thing was especially inte

That is the beauty of the scientific process: if Kwon provides good scientific data, it should be a quick process to verify that.

In some places, where it is still possible to use classic wells to pump oil. But in most locations, these have become rare. That we still can extract way too much oil is due to technologies like fracking, oil sands and what else. So claimin

As my farther had and used a polaroid camera, seeing this announcement made me curious. The camera definitely looks nice though its ancestors were definitely easier to carry thanks to their folding capacity. On the other side, you wouldn&#x

Not only in theory, but quite practically. The technology exists, but awaits the time when there are a lot of old batteries to recycle.
288.
by _ph_ 3y ago
The materials a battery is composed of almost completly can be recycled into a new battery. So creating a new battery requires some work and energy, but not new components.

Laptops are common equipment, Leica cameras are not. Especially M series cameras are only used by enthusiasts. They know about stuff and won't pick up a shady one. The next service would put them into trouble anyway.

Leica cameras are very specialized equipment. The market is small. It is not that a random person would pick up a Leica camera. They are likely to be serviced at some point in time, as the range finder might need adjustment. A stolen serial

Besides the branding not being that obvious, it should be quite difficult to sell a stolen Leica. At least for anything more than a pittance. It doesn't matter what it costs, what matters for a thief is what they can sell it for.

What exactly are you missing in digital cameras which prevents you taking pictures like that?

Assuming both sensors have the same pixel count, the resulting images also have the same pixel count but the image taken with the monochrome sensor would resolve finer details which get lost when doing the color interpolation with the color

The resolution difference isn't a factor of 2 in both dimensions, comparisons of the M Monochrom and the corresponding color model rather hint to the factor of 2 in the total pixel count which is expected from the mechanics of the colo

And as the Pentax is the only competition, a lot of people are willing to pay for the Monochrom.

There is no doubt that the iPad can be a very useful device if the available software fits exactly your needs. Here obviously the pen input is the critical enabler. Thus the iPad is very popular for anyone "drawing". But beyond th

I disagree. Good design comes from discussions and review. There isn't one person who comes up with great designs. Rather, experience shows it is the other way around. Don't get me wrong, when you have a project which needs to adv

Lacking libraries can be quite a source of frustration, but would it have been so difficult to implement that functionality? In my experience, looking for a library and making it work often takes more time than to implement it.

Scheme isn't "a community project". It is an universe of many implementations. Having an agreed standard for this is very valuable. It gives a reference, which everyone will want to follow for interoperability. But by creatin
