Good pedestrian navigation (which needs pedestrian road/pathway networks that haven't been built to the same extent as they have for roads, though in some countries like Japan they are much better) doesn't need constant inter

I find that very unlikely. Pedestrian navigation isn't exactly a major use case for most people and is pretty well covered by phones and smartwatches already. Could have been useful for food delivery drivers (cyclists), but then we&#x2

Non rechargeable phones aren't very popular, and these batteries need air so can't be easily water-proofed. Also they swell during discharge.

The cutting tools (dies) for cutting flat sheets like this can be made in literally one day by the type of factories that Apple works with (less if you're in a real hurry). I visited a cardboard packaging factory near Shenzhen before;

Another reason is that the time it takes for the Dutch oven to come to temperature depends on a lot of parameters (size of Dutch oven, size of oven, fan or not, power of oven) so pre-heating allows for the timings to be consistent. But I ag

A similar technique was just shown on the famous Chinese YouTube channel of "Li Zi Qi": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VO6ApTjGj4 The whole channel is nice calming viewing in times like these.

While currently they are using "green screen" in those instances, given that the camera positions are already being tracked, and the image displayed on the screens is known, it would be possible to re-render what image the camera

Playing with their model as linked gives a much better match with reported numbers with a shorter serial interval, 5 or 6 days instead of the 7 assumed by the default model settings. This is also a better match with the more recently report

To put that in perspective, as far as I've been able to determine Google provided security updates for the 2013 Nexus 5 until November 2018: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/03/google-ends-major-os...

Curve25519 was only introduced in 2005, so it's entirely plausible that MS had a customer prior to that with the attitude "we don't trust those NSA curves, we'd rather use our own" (though whether those customers wo

This one is 0.8mm pixel pitch (e.g. P0.8 I suppose), and they claim lower reflectance of the black background (i.e. higher daylight dynamic range) and bigger colour range.

I had the same reaction... Is "AI" a selling point to your likely customers? Otherwise it might be worth de-emphasizing it. You could turn it around... "We have humans generate your front-end code assisted by AI so we can kee

It's actually a pretty standard setup in China anyway... Pretty much anytime you go onto an inter-city bus / train or into a crowded space (museum / exhibition centre) you will go through a metal detector and your bag through

Most likely because the cost of a single complicated support call (of the sort that can't be answered from a knowledge base) that may need to be escalated to 2nd level support or beyond would appear exorbitant ($100 perhaps, or more?).

The remarkably simple answer is that they are pulled out of the mould while still hot and flexible. Here's an article about the process with a youtube video showing the casting process (in a very small-scale facility): http:/&#x2
