It's the Duo. Technically correct but the Duo is at a higher price tier than the Pro and reveals the silliness of product naming.

I think it's a chicken-and-egg problem: chargers have overstay fees because charging times can be very long and it's expected that people will plug in and then leave to do something else. If charging times were extremely short (fi

Pretty weird how little they use the physical keyboard in the demo. I'd expect for at least their own apps / launcher, you could navigate with WASD. Instead, they're switching between tabs by clicking on the very top of the s

This used to bother me, but I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they are used to working with remote people in all time zones and it's actually a check to see if I'm present. If I don't respond, t

Five minutes is basically the same time to put gasoline in a car, and there hasn't been a huge push to have overstay fines there.

The current laws ban cars connected to/associated with China, not just their manufacturing location. Polestar was recently banned entirely even though one of their cars was manufactured in the US. BYD cars manufactured in Canada would

I wouldn't mind if they (unofficially) adopted a tick-tock release cycle. New features on even years, refinement and under-the-hood changes on odd years.

That's more of a problem for the tech workers themselves, their fellow commuters clogging up the road, the companies who employ them, and the city (long-term, the city becomes stagnant and ossified). But that's not a problem for t

A lot of people seem to buy fitness trackers merely to verify they sleep poorly, and then do nothing about it.

My Oura Ring picked up on breathing fluctuations that my Garmin did not detect. However my Oura Ring was also very battery-constrained so it also only looked at heart rate every few minutes. My Garmin measured it every second.

It's usually not the primary benefit of the exercise. You are not going to maintain zone 2 (120-140 bpm) while lifting.

The light is not incapacitating, it's simply an unnecessary annoyance. People do love windows, but people also love window blinds that they close when the light points directly into a room. Especially if you are forced to face that win

You are right, some EVs cut corners and don't activate the brake lights in these situations: https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ?t=557&si=MCP_WBc7MR1mWhXj

I loved their commercial with now-disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong at the time for its rebellious competitive spirit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIl5RxhLZ5U It was purely a commercial for the brand - Nike didn't

Many shoe manufacturers do this with running groups, it's good marketing. Unfortunately my oddly-shaped feet means I've had more bad than good experiences when trying to run a few miles in new shoes.

It's fine for a passenger, especially in the back seat. But as a driver, it adds a potentially bright source of light right at the top of your vision, and that can be annoying as hell. I covered my roof and I felt more relaxed since my

Customs and Border Patrol has been granted huge budget increases this year. Bureaucracies generally need to spend all their entire budget to show that they "need" it to avoid losing it next year, so they are certainly going to spe

Flock may not actually be involved. YouTube video titles are often lying clickbait, and the video description starts off with "Flock and other surveillance cameras..."

by jerlam 13d ago
The content creator is using "Flock" as a shorthand for all surveillance cameras, which muddies the conversation.

Carfax also can report estimated mileage, but it might have a different flag in the system that allows override. I've been handed a Carfax on my own car that has a reported mileage much greater than the actual mileage on the car, and t

Yes, it goes beyond Trump. A single election could be understood as a accident. A second election shows that it's not a mistake. And the US's lack of controls like recalls, impeachment, or snap elections shows its political system

This newer incident likely won't be as controversial since the riders had actual weapons, not toys; and no claim that the Waymo "imprisoned" the riders, as many people seem to have previously hallucinated.

Isn't this strange feature similar to how cellular Apple Watches are implemented?

The 42mm refers to the case size. You are right that screen is bigger on the new models with the same case size.

The Apple Watches have also been getting bigger. The first Apple Watches came in 38mm and 42mm sizes. That "large" Apple Watch is the size of the current "small" Apple Watch (42mm).

Most people I know who use iPads do so because a phone is too small to see or type on, but an actual computer/laptop is too complicated and intimidating to use.
