I’m so confused. I open the dishwasher, if the door is sparkling clean the dishwasher is clean and I empty it immediately. How are people incapable of identifying a finished cycle? Why would dishes pile up on top unless the dishwasher is ac

If the surrounding communities are in need of power, they’re likely to get it cheaper as a result of the UK building there. Hopefully they require a split of the power as part of the building conditions. If the desert supplied energy to the

Why is Amazon retiring Alexa as opposed to spinning it off and selling? It must have some value. Google is great for shutting projects that must be worth something spun off, even at an early stage. Is there a general reason tech companies r

In my experience, conference calls never managed to replace travel, but in many cases video calls have done so. Even my consultant friends who travelled extensively now use video. In that respect, conference calls did not work, and cameras

The new system is overkill for iCloud, which Apple already scans. The obvious conclusion is Apple will start to scan photos kept on device, even where iCloud is not used. Very smart people are not getting this wrong.

I gave my grandmother a iPad because I felt confident that she could not install anything nasty, nor could be tricked into installing anything nasty. If Apple allowed you to unlock your iPad, they would also be allowing my grandmother to be

You do not need an internet connection to scan the code, which is an advantage. I imagine this is why they’ve included a check and why the code is so large. It’s worked first time whenever someone I’ve been with has scanned it.

This person allegedly created a deepfake video that simulated a child nude, and sent it to someone else. Why was she not charged with creating and distributing child pornography?

Microsoft didn't just drop the ball on the general design. Individual features have fallen behind. The calculator in Windows 7 was great, you could type sums and edit your history to quickly make changes to calculations. Windows 10, hi

A token that needed a regular transfer of funds to retain ownership would be really quite neat. A contract that showed I am the adoptee of Harry the gorilla, and provides a regular income for the charity. If I can’t keep up the payment I se
