As I understand, the SIM is designed by special trusted companies, with special security requirements. It's easier to meet those requirements when the SIM is a separate chip that the company making them have full control over. When you

I haven't worked on iSIM myself, but I have colleagues that work on integrating iSIM onto an SoC. The procedure around integrating an iSIM into an SoC is ridiculously strict. The integration and simulation has to happen on a workstatio

I used Vimium for a while, mainly for the feature of opening links with the keyboard. But I never stuck with it, forgot to use it, because I really don't like the mode-switching and having it default to taking over keyboard input. Fina

It's somewhat related to solving one of C/C++'s real problems: the syntax is very context sensitive. That makes tool development harder. Personally I think it's great that most new languages seem to move in roughly the s

Skoda Enyaq offers different battery sizes in Europe. But the smaller batteries have abysmal charging rate for some reason. Smaller batteries means more charge/discharge cycles, which means faster degradation, which will be a bigger do

I think this is an excellent point. I've had a similar thought: we've made societies where nothing gets done without paying for it, and where it's financially incredibly hard to be a parent without both parents working near 1
