I own a Pixel 8. I've been impressed with it's performance and the general feel of using it over the past months. With Pixel 8a, the gap between A series phones and the non-pro version seems to be diminishing way too fast. They st

I don't understand why the design is bad. Of course it's subjective, but what puts you off here?

What's the endgame with iPads though? I mainly use it for consumption, taking notes and jotting annotations on PDFs. Well, it's a significant companion for my work, but I cannot see if I've any reason to upgrade from iPad Air

Agreed. I thought I was having a bad day unable to comprehend the content, but the style is off putting.

This is hideous though. Why should someone's preference for a mobile phone, chosen for their convenience, hinder them from texting those they care about?

I understand the evil practices of Apple to lock you up in their walled garden such as iMessage, easy sync between the devices etc. But, ultimately, wouldn't the choice of buying those products in the consumer's hand?

Irrespective of the OS, I recommend Zotero ( https://www.zotero.org/ ).

This looks great! Since they link it all to one's Gmail account, I wonder if they implement saving annotations to these PDFs and have them live on your Drive or elsewhere. Edit: Also, Chrome now defaults to this extension for rendering

While I absolutely agree with PG here on identifying a missing link and solving it with technology as your own project is a good way to own a startup, I also feel most of his examples are reminiscent of survivorship bias. For every one of t

This should be higher up. They have it on Costco at $649 for a while now.

Dancing (or perhaps any extracurricular activity) can be a very distant topic to a hardcore academician, and I always wonder the people who excel at both! This is a wonderful way to recognize and honor them. Kudos!

At what point do the effects of quantum tunneling are seen? I don't think they actually mean 1nm as the thickness, do they?

That seems incredibly pessimistic. Hopefully that's not how it goes. What should we be optimistic about?

I am on Pixel 8. Stock launcher seems so much better than anything else.

Perhaps it doesn't have to be reading only a book, and you could very well be reading a scientific paper instead. But reading engages a whole different category of your psyche. I believe that most valuable content is often found in the

I would lean towards opting an old used Pixel or iPhone (ensuring the battery health is atleast 80%) to be a backup phone than strictly restricting to dumbphones. Keep it in airplane mode always, restrict it to a very few "survival&quo

Seems like an attempt to recreate Blackberry experience. While it looks interesting, the use case is not as appealing, and it is really expensive! For context, Apple Magic Keyboard for PCs cost less than this, which in itself is a much pric

The entire playlist of Learning to Learn by Richard Hamming is absolutely worth it [0], especially the introduction talk and "You and Your Research". They make you think hard about the effective ways to learn and ask important and

I don't agree with the author here. Willing to look stupid bears the motive that one is eager to learn despite what others might think of you. That is not the same as low-key manipulating someone else to have the job done for you.

This feels like calling every piece of literary work, be it a comment, or a novel as a part of the Library of Babel, instead of one's genuine creative endeavour. While that camera analogy felt like an eye-opener at once, it feels like
