At 193 cm in height, I have large hands too. I currently use a Zenfone 10 and a Galaxy S10e before that, and I can grip them both just fine in one hand, but I can't also control them with that same hand without awkward contortions an

At $138 I can't imagine that the Bluefox NX1 will perform very well. (By the way from some reason aiphor.com automatically redirects me to google.com unless I disable Javascript.)

Folding phones don't solve the problem of oversized phones, which is that they are awkward and cumbersome to use.

Excellent statement, but who is the "great man" who once said this?

I used floppies as late as 2010 when I was in high school (we had a very old Windows 95 PC at home with no support for USB, and no Internet access). Luckily, the school computers were also old and still had floppy drives, so I could type up

Usually these LED puck lights are only held in place with little spring-loaded arms that grip the back side of the drywall, and all you need to do to remove them is tug on them a bit and they'll come out. The light is connected to the

True enough, there are endless subtleties to language (English in particular) that make words simultaneously vague and extremely specific. Wiktionary defines bitter as "cynical and resentful", which doesn't quite capture the

'Salty' in that context means 'bitter', ironically.

People adapt though. I don't hear complaints about shopping bags anymore (except for American visitors), the way I still do about paper straws. Plastic bags at checkouts were only banned where I live a couple of years ago, and most peo

Reusable shopping bags cost about $10-$15. No one is buying them frivolously. I think the issue here is one of semantics. The so-called "reusable" bags you're talking about are still classified as single-use plastics. If you

Incandescent lights are still widely available if you still want them. Nonetheless, modern high quality LED lights can actually exceed the colour rendering index of incandescent lights, though they tend to be a little more expensive. I don&

Lots of unnecessary complexity. In this case it makes sense because the majority of the line is directly over a river due to space constraints, but it's a lot simpler to build a concrete viaduct and run normal trains ovwr it. This also

Donate their wealth before they die and leave only a token amount for the kids. Enough to give them a headstart, but not enough that they never have to try.

Prefixes are no longer used for new features, and any that still exist are old. What happens now is that features are gated behind feature flags for testing until the browser working group settles on the final spec for that feature, at whic

Google Docs has a feature set more in line with Wordpad (the stripped down word processor that comes with Windows) than Office Word. I can't understand how anyone can use it for anything at all without running into its limitations, so

The average annual cost of owning a car in Canada is >$16000 CAD. In the US it's even higher at >$12000 USD. Obviously owning a bike, taking public transit and taxis, and occasionally renting a car isn't free, but if you liv

In my opinion the answer is curation. If you're getting so many magazines and newspapers in the post that you can't read them all, the answer isn't to hire someone to cut out random pages for you to read (oh, why are they all

Most of the books weren't very good though. They tended to be glorified audiobooks and didn't make effective use of the technology. By far the best one I ever saw was the sample book that came with my family's Quantum Leap.

Rent control serves as a means to add stability. If landlords could evict tenants without cause and immediately rent to someone else for $100 a month more whenever the market changes, they would. That's bad for everyone. The problem is

I consider that an advantage because the light stays nice and steady while I weave around bumps in the road.

The UK definition of a city is arbitrary and unrelated to the usual meaning of the word. St Davids is objectively a small town.
