That definitely seems like an improvement over car seats from the 90s. As an adult I still remember hating full-day road trips in the hard-plastic-with-a-fabric-liner car seat my parents owned; my butt was always sore after sitting in it fo

The inside of a digital pregnancy test is literally an analog test with two lines plus some cheap electronics to read the line. Having a digital readout that says "positive" or "negative" makes these tests easier to inte

The ISPs have tried, but they get pushback from local residents whenever they try to install the necessary network boxes at intervals down the street. They had to go out of their way to hide cellular towers as streetlamps to get the 5G roll

When AT&T first did their Fiber rollout in SF, one of the things I remember was they charged you $10 extra if you didn't want them to MITM all your connections to insert JavaScript pointing to their own ads. They rolled this back w

I think in the last year or so we hit an inflection point for ARM performance that makes it acceptable. The Raspberry Pi 4 / Raspberry Pi 400 are halfway decent to use. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet is probably the first ARM-based Chromeb

I feel like the retailer side makes sense, even if you do 0% APR. The alternative to Affirm's merchant fee is a credit card merchant fee (say, 2.9%). Affirm takes what would be a ~$600 or $2000 credit card transaction and turns it into
