The (not cost effective) solution is to carry both. Shut off the 'normal' smart phone when you don't need it (for banking or what have you). Use the web version of Whatsapp ( https://web.whatsapp.com/ ) if you

That depends on a lot of things. But some realistic concerns might include evesdropping using parabolic microphones, covert listening devices deployed at the meeting point etc. Not to mention a) arranging the meeting and b) getting to the

That's fascinating and the only example I've ever seen of a private company being given permission to own and operate their own private reactor for power generation. Cool!

I'm sure there are limits to what you can get approval to build. I'd be surprised to see companies get approval to build personal nuclear reactors for example. But I can imagine there's relatively little difficulty in operati

I wish, although I'm totally aware it'll never happen, that there were no time zones, just UTC and that's it. One clock for the world. If that meant you started work at 0900 UTC and finished at 1700 UTC then fine, but if you

Mexico isn't the only one. I've visited many countries in Europe and Asia that actually recycle their glass bottles without crushing them/melting them down.

I wonder if the Nintendo releases of a variety of gameboy consoles in transparent/colored plastics prior to the iMac was any influence at all. Certainly they gained popularity with the release of the transparent purple gameboy colors.

As of a few years ago (2009 ish) the important chips in an IronKey were AT98SC032CT-USB and OnSpec xSil 269. I've got an old one kicking around somewhere. I'll tear it down and post pictures in the near future.

This is predictable IF you spend a lot of time there, but if you don't, say as a foreigner travelling throughout the US, it is not. Again, it's just extra hassle for no good reason, I don't understand why printing the FULL pr

So where's the manual for someone who just arrived in the US explaining that? How am I supposed to know that if someone doesn't tell me? How is that even a vaguely acceptable response, let alone _expected_ behavior I should antici

My complaint (as an Australian) against tipping is that I have no idea what the cost of my meal ends up being. If I dine out here at say a pub, the price for a steak is $30 AUD and the price of a beer is $5. The total price I pay is $35 AUD

This bug is pretty novel as far as I'm aware. A recent update to Windows means that non administration users can access partition and volume device objects which bypasses the usual file restrictions on special files like SAM/Secu

This is actually fantastic, I can't believe I haven't seen it before. Especially the Pro variant with a thermal camera. Thanks!

Cool tech. And I'm all for making integrated circuits and components more dense and space efficient. But I also wish that wouldn't result in the devices getting unreasonably thin/fragile. I'd rather have a sturdier devic

I'd never heard of trijets being dangerous before and I can't find anything to support that claim. I thought the issue with them was the expenses around building and maintaining them.
