A lot of the more interesting things in Vegas are off the Strip, like Omega Mart or downtown. I was just there this year and after less than a day I saw no reason to be on the Strip.

I wonder if there are barf bags for the backwards-facing passengers.

I poked around on their site and read the press releases; Zoox seems to be limited to only pickups and dropoffs at a few set locations. > Simply open the Zoox app to take a ride from several destinations on and around the Strip. This put

Title should be updated to read "iPhone 17 Models". It's not just the Pro. Google also added a similar feature to their Pixel 10 phones.

For Visible, anything above their cheapest plan will give you the same priority as postpaid Verizon. Many prepaid carriers will gladly take more money to shift you to a higher priority. There is a list of all the prioritization tiers (aka Q

Quest and Labcorp have made it fairly easy to get diagnostic bloodwork yourself, without involving a doctor. It's a lot more than $200 though. It's actually cheaper for me to go to one of these labs than to talk to a doctor and de

Prepaid is so competitive now that "a free phone" is one of the few reasons to go postpaid (other than ignorance).

The only people who would download this app would already be pretty safe drivers, so it probably won't curb the behavior of existing bad drivers. But the article mentions that a rental car company is using it, which might mean it'

Apple used to reserve the "mature" muted colors for the Pro, and the colorful ones for the base model. Not only did they switch the schemes this year, the Pros also have one less option which suggests... something.

If I was that competent, I would make a YouTube video and make money with it.

Apple is not-bad at proactively notifying you about potential health problems it discovered, instead of you spending time and effort looking at the numbers it records. The watch will tell you if it thinks you have sleep apnea, heart rate ir

If everyone is breaking the law, but it is only enforced on a specific group of people, it basically kills the entire rule of law.

Some probably did not, but it was common to ignore the law. There does not seem to be a process for getting valid visas for this kind of project: https://www.ft.com/content/c677b9aa-2e89-4feb-a56f-f3c8452b3... And they

If Teslas were durable, built well, easily repairable, with strong aftermarket support, I would applaud them for sticking with the same bland design instead of endlessly tweaking it like every other car and tech company in a misguided effor

Seems way too common. People pull out their phone at every commercial break, lull in conversation, or stoplight. People's attention span is cooked.

The bones of their software are over 20 years old at this point, back to the Forerunner 101 which came out in 2003, predating modern smartphones. You had to plug them into a COM port to download your runs. I have Garmin watches from this ti

Sun protective clothing is measured and given a UPF rating. SPF ratings are only for sunscreens.

The only people who would notice the name change are people in the US, not its enemies. The previous name clearly hasn't stopped the US from initiating wars, nor would other countries notice the difference.

It is bonkers that sunscreen (edit: SPF) testing still requires testing on a human subject, which makes testing both expensive and unreliable. Michelle Wong, who is quoted in the article as Lab Muffin Beauty Science, discusses it in more de

At least they're not connected to the cloud in any way, or require software that needs regular updates.

I'm told that many (if not most) chargers in Europe are Bring Your Own Cable. I don't know if that's for compatibility or for theft reasons, but it makes sense.

BART barely goes into Silicon Valley. Fremont was the closest stop up until 2017. Now it gets to North San Jose. Even if was funded, any further extension wouldn't be complete for over a decade.

Garmin literally says that elevated stress levels can be from good or bad experiences in its description of the feature. The author started from a faulty premise. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/garmin-technology/heal

According to Electrek, all the app does is let you join a waitlist. There aren't a lot of cars, nor has the service area dramatically expanded. This may just be a PR move to brag about how many people are willing to press a few buttons
