   I too would miss GPS, BUT I've still never found anything that really fills the pebble shaped hole in my life. My Garmin compromises the other stuff (battery, widgets, calendar, display readability etc.). Everything is a trade off.

   That’s true, I regularly remember going to pubs, friends houses and sporting events that I was far to young to be at, but was just there because my parents where doing a thing.

   My only issue with the plug is 3. sort of. I prefer the cable being perpendicular to the plug (prevents accidental removal), but I wish there was a standard dictating which way it should leave relative to the earth pin. Drives me mad when p

   I think the kids today use TikTok and such for searching, which is mental.

   This reads more like, 'they're not very good' rather than 'people don't want them'. They could be hugely useful, and even in their current capacity I find are very much so. I find it maddening that my google ho

   'Mac OS brings to top all windows of the respective app' - I bloody hate this behaviour.

    I'm still daily using my kobo touch from 2011, my oldest piece of 'still in use tech' (other than the Wii, which the kids still bowl on!). Not being bound to an ecosystem, has really been a blessing - and in part kept it in u

    I really enjoyed 'How big things get done' [1], which is close to your 'how things.... got built' requirement. Very interesting read about delivery of really big projects. I also read 'Built'[2] which was a lit

    especially given the low view counts. I've just watched two videos with 1 view. One would assume if they were being uploaded to be shared they'd have more views.

    How impressed should I be. In terms of Apples history of manufacturing chips compared to, say, intel. This is their 4th generation of the M chip and it seems to be so far ahead of intel, a company with significant bigger history of chip pro

    This surprises me I have a 2013 iMac that is solely used as an external monitor. Did they take a step backwards ?

    I work with a lot of space engineers and it blows my tiny mind when they explain that they've got decades of wait from production to operations. Space truly is a collaborative effort.

    Bambu Labs A1 - not had it long, but for less that £300 it's unbelievable, easily matching quality with the prusas on the type of stuff I'm printing.

    Hi, how are predictions verified? Does one still do experimental techniques (X-ray crystallography, cryogenic-em etc.) one you have the prediction? Or are predictions so close to reality you can progress without experiment?

    The cynic in me, believes that Apple pulling them now is a marketing ploy ahead of Christmas. Waiting until actually needing to pull them would have not really impacted sales, but this way they get to generate demand right before the big g
