I keep going back to Motorola. Their phones can be bought retail, no relationship to a carrier, and almost everything can be removed or disabled. No crappy skin either. They aren't the best with updates, sadly.

That method indeed works nicely for a simple ranch in a nice climate. It doesn't work as well when you have multiple attics, vaulted ceilings, multiple floors, and twenty inches of attic insulation.

If you're ripping open your walls to do it, the difference in cost between 6 and 5e is probably a rounding error, and there's a strong desire to do it once .

Engaging with your government has always been via whatever way is most expedient. Telegraph, newspaper, train ride, car ride, bicycle ride, phone call, snail mail, email, social media, websites, television, radio... What would bother me is

Yeah, I can understand the debate about hedonic adaptation as it relates to hobbies and wealth- what's the point if your happiness is the same- but whether or not my happiness remains the same, I cannot accept the idea that fitness, he

Ok, I guess I'm thinking of the "thin" family of laptops with molded flat packs. Or maybe those have standard flat cells, just not the 18650. But in any case, technically even the Tesla just uses hordes of 18650. But that doe

Same reason batteries in your phone or laptop are each a different shape and non-removable. They are an integral part of the design, a significant part of the weight & volume, with significant thermal concerns, etc... many electric cars

Yes, arch license. But do we know for a fact that there is no per-chip or per-wafer royalty? I hadn't heard.

That's all closely guarded, I'm not even sure if that's public knowledge or not. Worth noting, however, Apple's quarterly revenue is like $50B while ARM's is $500M- split across many customers. Apple certainly has s

Is that not a difference in Opportunity? Californians are spoiled for choice, with 250-some in-state four year colleges to choose from. Georgia has 85. And, as you describe, Georgia does not have a lot of world-famous institutions. Out-of-s

Apple could have made their own ISA, or used one of any number of other ISAs. ARM provides a couple things. First, they offer a progression. You can start out with a drop-in ARM core, and as you progress you can start customizing, and then

Read my post again. WHERE you smoke is a choice. And your behavior & deference while smoking is also a choice.

A lot of people want OTHERS to pay more in taxes Or perhaps people want everyone , including themselves, to pay more taxes. A fair, equitable, and shared burden. If it's just you, you feel like a sucker being taken advantage of.

I am generally on your side of the fence- I think we forget smokers are also people- but where you choose to smoke is still an active choice. Most of the ire I see directed at smokers is for smoking around pregnant women, infants, and in pu

It's a bit more nuanced, it's not perpetually sunny but it does tend to be sunny during peak solar times.

Most people are chronically dehydrated all their lives. I've found, at least for lips, the urge to reach for chapstick frequently means I should be reaching for a water bottle instead. (Setting aside extreme conditions like subzero ski

syngas definitely seems like one of those holy-grail technologies that could save us from ourselves if we can make it economical. Plug-in replacement for transportation, one of the most difficult places to decarbonize. As a bonus, syngas is

As far as I understand, ethical breeders who raise dogs with care tend to operate direct already. Have you never heard someone say "I got such-and-such a dog from a breeder"?

Is the range still a big deal? Norway is not as big as the USA, and you can nearly get from Oslo to Bergen in a Chevy Bolt. (Stockholm, I'll admit, is too far for one charge)

Is an "engineer of chemistry" a chemist by another name? In the US a "chemical engineer" is an engineer who specializes in the industrial use or production of chemicals. Think, the guy who designs the factory to manufact

Honestly from my perspective as an ex-gearhead, older cars die from engine failure but newer cars just tend to wear out (assuming maintenance). The whole suspension starts to go (shocks, springs, ball joints, rubber bushings everywhere) and

The "funny" part I think would be how rent, child care, student loans and medical bills tend to scale in cost to your locale, so despite your well paid job, your cost of living has gone up to match. It might be expected & natu

The worst part is humans only want a small fraction of the mountain, so the whole thing is chewed up and spat out into the land around the mountain. It would be a little better if we actually had a use for the whole mountain. The tar sand

So many things these days just convert AC back to DC though. (Maybe not vintage audio equipment though)
