Really saddened to see the negativity in the comments surrounding this post.

Ever been in a crowded area and couldn't get a connection to anything with your phone? UWB 5G is going to solve that problem.

While sometimes considered controversial for decisions made on intangible things like net neutrality, I expect the FCC would have a much better understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum than the military, and having all of them approve

WhatsApp might as well be SMS in many countries. Not so, in the US.

I think they grew up in an era, as the post mentioned, where messages were moderated in some manner before reaching your senses. Facebook removed that filter, and they are overtrusting things because their "friend" vouched for it

Is it really the fault of the platform? I despise Facebook, and do not use it, but the root of the problem, IMO, is that people are dumb. We'll never change that - some people are always going to be dumb. Humans have been doing dumb t

That's too bad. Guess this is almost useless to me.

I'm using Blendle, but can't find this story there.

IMO, the reason mass transit isn't popular in moderately populated areas (think population per sq mi/km) is that it's too inconvenient. In these places, it's much, much quicker to hop in your car and get where you'

Road infrastructure is going to change, by necessity. It seems like self-driving technology is as good as it can be, given current circumstances. There's no way to get self-driving cars to airplane safety numbers without on/near

I remember being so proud of my OK Soda hat that I won in a can at school. Good memories.

I have a pair of QC 35s which I can only use low/no NC on due to vertigo issues with "high" mode. Looks like Bose has done an extremely impressive job of fleshing out the problem. Well done.

I did this a while back, and got rid of the home phone. We had made the transition to VoIP in the early 2000s, and then migrated the number to Google, Anveo, and finally Twilio. I was tired of getting calls all day for various things and

I've spent hours playing this today. Thanks! Lots of fun.

These vehicles will likely have plenty of surveillance surrounding them - not only for instances of heists, but for evidence to be used in insurance claims and police/fire investigations for collisions and other mishaps. Detracting fro

They're regulated in such a way that they basically print money, in certain circumstances. I do agree though, power companies should not be publicly operated at this point in time. It might have made sense when electricity being deli

The problem old people have with apartments is that they attract perceived ne'er-do-wells with little financial resources. Harold the Retiree does not want to hear your Subaru with the fart cannon on the back going up and down the roa

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that we're already paying for insurance, which is supposed to not only negotiate lower prices for drugs for us, but also pay for a percentage of the cost at the pharmacy? The last few times I hav

Trying to avoid the landmines of blacklisting is really the biggest peril in all of it. I refuse to move a company I support away from GSuite to self-hosted, because I have a high level of confidence that just one person sending a lot of m

I honestly thought fountain hooks were a legitimate part of the game, until they were removed. They're hard to pull off. You could also sabotage your team by teleporting members with Wisp/Io to the enemy fountain. Ahh, the worst o

I used to think I was good at working remotely, but lately have had a similar revelation. It's magnified by the fact that my entire team is remote, so even when I go into the office, it's not the team's office - it's a

I've done this for my home phone number with Twilio using Studio. The last 2 options forward the call to mine or my wife's cell numbers. Everyone seems to hang up when they hear the IVR - neither of us have gotten a call forward

This is the reason I sadly don't recommend to customers that they run their own email servers, and instead outsource it to GSuite or O365. Being on the hook when emails aren't delivered for one or more of a dozen reasons that you

Everyone's trying to get away from their niches, and into anything involving MRR or ad revenue with software & services. It's a sad state of affairs.

Do you feel this way about repeat occurrences? Is this an appeal to the reader's sense of fate/destiny? I work in telecom. When a aReallyBadThing happens, a post-mortem has to be compiled, and steps are taken to ensure that aReall

No, it's not just about who's spying on you - it's about who will have the ability to take down your infrastructure when push comes to shove. Chinese technology in our critical infrastructure or defense systems is obvious at

I'm not sure which is more dangerous with regard to Huawei - their utter disrespect for intellectual property, or their subservience to a totalitarian government that is in continual digital warfare with the United States. Platitudes

This is one of my favorite kickback demonstrations. Since watching this, I have made sure to keep my push block/stick close to the blade & applying pressure toward the fence, instead of closer to the fence & applying pressure
