My Nexus 4 had wireless charging back in 2012; the Nexus 4 very much being a budget phone. I am a bit disappointed about how wireless charging was ripped out of Android phones instead of simply being the standard. I thought the iPhone final

I plugged in some routes I am familiar with here (Sydney) and it did a great job at picking the roads/paths I would personally choose! I do agree with 'overlordalex' on the 'Close Route' button. I couldn't find

Wow, one of our solutions is nearly 100 projects (legacy) and the compile time for the whole solution is sub-5 minutes. I'd love to see what kind of solution would take 40 minutes to compile! (or maybe I don't :)). That being said

I feel like it's because an IPA is difficult to mess up. As an amateur brewer, the IPAs always seemed to taste 'fine' whereas my amateur skills/setup were never able to produce a decent lager or wheat, nevermind even mor

Huh, in twenty years of using Linux, hardware support has improved with each update not gone down hill. What I do agree with is that on day one support might not be as good for new types of hardware (especially for more niche hardware like

I am not quite sure how the transport works here (Australia) but it's most definitely not a random taxi. The hotels are paid for and organised by the government and are guarded to ensure no one goes in/leaves, so I assume the tran

I don't think there's any information on how long level 1 would last. I am just wondering what the strategy on borders would be if you are going for elimination. Surely once you have opened the borders it is only a matter of time

What I do not see anyone talking about is the economic and social effects of having closed borders for 1.5+ years (until the population is sufficiently vaccinated). NZ's tourism industry is a large chunk of their GDP and will be reduce

That's interesting! I would have thought Croatia to be small enough to not need such a system; i.e. supermarkets not further than half an hour drive away. Or is it just a matter of convenience?
