I suspect Apple has a tendency to underpromise and overdeliver when it comes to their shipping times. All of my orders arrived far sooner than their estimates.

Could be worth tracking what you did and make a new set of instructions, and trying to reproduce with a fresh install.

Given that the last time I put together a PC computer was 2006, it'd probably take me DAYS to spec out a machine because of all the rabbit holes I'd be exploring, esp with all the advances in computer tech.

I pulled the logic board out and baked it in the oven and it lasted another 7 months before needing another bake. By then I moved onto a newer macbook.

Nature sounds like rainfall & ocean waves vary a lot I imagine, with lots of breaks and pauses, the lack of a continuous sound probably helps. A fan that's rotating back and forth might produce neurologically better sounds, as the

> My favorite "feature" of these Android phones is the price Honestly that's my favorite feature of iPhones too. I've always bought used iPhones 2-3 generations behind. And they're often supported for many year

Yeah that's an interesting problem, if people refuse to buy/upgrade to newer phones because they're too big, it might be hard to see there's a market for smaller phones.

From Norman Doidge's book "The Brain That Changes Itself", I learned that: Long term white noise exposure might be associated with hearing loss, especially age-related. The theory was that "nerves that fire together, wi

The value systems & vision of the people leading the R&D have a huge impact on the final design. Nokia phones went one way, iPhone went a different way.

Well there's 144 million Russians. That's a lot of phone numbers to call. Probably need to call at least 5 million of them for it to be effective cover?

Phil Kennedy is a hero. A bold risk-taker. The ultimate DIYer, experimenting directly on his own brain. And he's a scifi author to boot!

He was 66-year old at the time of doing this. He wrote a scifi novel that was an expression of his dream and his drive to make it a reality. He was fully prepared for a terrible ending. He weighed the risks and rewards, and thought it wou

True. Fortunately they've improved repairability a bit in the M1 Macbook Pros, i.e. the battery is no longer glued and has pull tabs. https://www.ifixit.com/News/54122/macbook-pro-2021-teardown

I would say the biggest thing that helps me deal with perfectionism in my job is to ask for help once I realize it's blocking me. Usually the help is very simple, like "help me break down this larger ticket into smaller tasks&quot

Interesting! Any idea how hard is it to include an MMU? Or better yet, what's the cheapest application processor?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but are any of these cheap microcontrollers able to run Win 98? Or am I misunderstanding what microcontrollers can do?

Not all congestion are created by those chokepoints. It's created because someone at some point hit the brakes, and then cars behind get into a pattern of accelerating & braking constantly until the congestion resolves. Steady dr

If we can take really good cruise control and change the environment sufficiently to the point we can claim "fully autonomous", then perhaps that's also a solution.

You're assuming near perfect driving. IMO, minimum requirement for level 5 driving is merely to match human driver accident rates.

In addition to increasing the gap, you have to drive steadily, with no braking. This makes you become the most predictable car on the road, people behind you can follow steadily instead of constantly accelerating & braking. This leads
