My 2013 Audi has a rather poor non-touchscreen interface. It has Bluetooth pairing for phone calls but not for plain audio (music), which is really odd. It does have one of those very old large iPod connectors, and I've attached a Blue

A lot of the discussion here is about materials and manufacturing, which certainly wasn't available until the late 19th century to make and produce bicycles. But the real title of the article should have been, and the real unanswered q

Fuji was a major player in the rangefinder (mirrorless) medium format film cameras market (G645, G690W, etc), so this is a good return to form for them!

I've been using a Trezor crypto wallet for most of these things; it has password manager features but I haven't switched from LastPass for that yet. I've even enabled U2F 2FA on my work desktop for log in, and use it as 1FA t

Is there some reason that much of the US you couldn't deliver food by bicycle or a small motorcycle like a Honda Super Cub?

I'm somewhat bothered by the fact that the illustration is of "cavemen" and video of someone recreating paleolithic technologies. The neolithic period was one of agriculture and early civilization. Stonehenge was built by neo

Not really that inflated. I built a Clevo laptop about 4 years ago, and compared it to an identical System76 build, it was only $70 difference. That thing was pretty poor quality though. Died fall of 15, replaced it with an XPS 13 which is

How about an SD card in to which SmartCard, the size of a micro SIM card, can be inserted. The SmartCard holds a public key, and any files written to the SD card are signed and encrypted using that public key. Decrypting the files would be

Tangential, but I keep thinking that the moment EVs have finally "made" it will be when they can compete in endurance races like 24 Hours of Le Mans against IC vehicles. The fact these Formula E races are considered quite enough t
