I’ve seen these and they are so novel! The problem is they don’t look like QR codes. A regular QR code, regardless of the fact they are an eyesore, people know what to do when they see one on a menu. Artistic ones don’t really look like QR.

We have a pair of 2019 Sonicare that need battery replacements. I picked up a compatible battery but haven’t taken the time to pull it apart yet. It does require soldering. The company scrambled the model numbers and it’s not easy to figure

I also think the CEO is a scapegoat. I’d argue that Huffman showed more courage than Elon did, though. That said, Huffman’s handling of this was bumbling at best. It demonstrated a failure to understand his own users or the culture of the s

History is littered with fits and starts of people working together to bring about change. It does matter that people have identified a trend of corporate behavior, and are finding ways to take stands against it.

IIRC, Apple didn’t make a stand to hold the Apple Watch charger either. At least for Series 0. And, I don’t think they had a stand for the iPhone Magsafe either. Here’s the intro video showing it’s use with just the cable: https:/&#x2

It is called a Cosri-Rosenthal box [1]. I've built three variations on these using different kinds and sizes of Filtrete filters they are very cheap and effective. The downsides are that they take up a lot of space, are a big eye sore

This concern comes up often against DIY filtration systems like this but I've yet to see a study showing this to be the case. I have seen this study [1] that says no fire hazard is created by motor stress from these kinds of setups. [1

I don’t mean to make this personal, but have you raised a kid? If someone is holding up an iPhone taking a video, especially up close it is a distraction. Depending on how much they are aware of it and the person’s self consciousness, it ca

I liked it too, but did not think the value was there at $18 a month. I’m hoping Apple comes through with better packaged with apple fitness.

This is what Craigslist did in the P2P space. Except CL squandered the opportunity to rebalance the power dynamic between landlords and renters. Then, its continued reluctance in many fronts fragmented local P2P into a dozen marketplaces, g

I think it is worthwhile considering the multiple of the alternatives. That is, SERPs providing relevant discussion and exacting or largely turnkey solutions. On “easy” tasks in technical niches I’m not familiar with, I would take gpt over

It is hard to not compare the breakthrough product release count between Jobs and Cook. If that is the measure, then we have to bring in Jobs' tenure as not only CEO but company founder that stretched 25 years as CEO, 1976 to 1985 and
