With an SCBA you need a new bottle every 30 minutes or so, and carry around more than 20kg (45lbs) of stuff on your back. It's terribly exhausting, and definitely not suited to all-day use.

That sounds rather like the traffic feature of Google/Apple Maps than what's discussed in the comments here. The article you linked is very clear that it's aggregated and only segments with at least 20 people on them are repo

A properly worn face mask, maybe. But it's good only for 20-30 minutes, then it's soaked from the moisture in your breath and no longer does its job. From the CDC website: " If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a face

Yes, it's a shame, it feels like none of the developers is actually using it. It also took them several months to fix a blatantly obvious UI issue with iOS 13. I would love to like Lockwise, it fits the bill perfectly for me, but its c

Reducing the use of disposable plastics isn't supposed to prevent climate change, it's about reducing the amount of trash. While any trash that you put in the bin in a western country is highly unlikely to end up in the world&#x27

Absolutely. And before anyone claims that any such action would inevitably favour the well-off at the expense of the poor, let me point out that schemes like carbon fee and dividend exist that implement a carbon tax in a non-regressive wa

You are absolutely right. People on here love to crap on good solutions in search for the perfect solution, whether or not that actually solves users' problems. Case in point: your comment being greyed out. WhatsApp adopting Signal pr

Security is not the same thing as anonymity. Maybe Signal's design goals just don't align with your requirements, and that's okay. But that doesn't mean that it can't be the right tool for people with a different se

I agree, the article focuses on the "they built their own AI chip" thing a bit too much for my taste. It also doesn't explain why reducing the number of ECUs would upset supply chains to the degree claimed, there is a lot of

This is an article about securing the boot process on various platforms. Whatever your thoughts on Apple's cloud security practices (I'm not a fan either), it gets tedious to have this brought up every time an article is in any

It's pretty obvious that the measure used is carbon emissions per passenger mile, not worldwide carbon emissions of aviation.

2 sysadmins for 2 servers? What are they going to do all day? Managing those two servers should probably be 5-10% of their job -- 2-4h per week for each of them seems plenty --, while doing 90-95% other stuff. Like a sibling comment said, &

What's with the downvotes? Even dyed-in-the-wool Apple fans like Gruber admit that the 5GB free tier iCloud storage is stingy at best. He's been saying so since 2012(!) and he's absolutely right. 2012: https://dari

Not to nitpick, but the 6s was released in the autumn of 2015, so it's over 4 but not 5 years old. Don't get me wrong though, I'm also still really happy with my iPhone 7. I think I'd like the new cameras a lot, but that

Terrible contrast? Firefox's accessibility inspector gives the text a contrast ratio of 15.17, with 4.5 being the minimum for what qualifies as good and 7 as the recommended minimum for good readability. I change text colours in the we

That's kinda not how orbits work. First, to get to the sun, you have to escape Earth's gravity, which takes a lot of power. Once you've done so, the sun is actually one of the hardest places to go. It's easier to leave

The problem is not so much the flow rate as it is the river's temperature. You can't raise that too much without harming the river's ecosystem. This is what limits several of France's nuclear power stations during summer

That's not entirely true, it also works in apps that embed safari (e.g. twitter's in-app browser). I didn't see any ads in a quick test with Firefox on iOS, but maybe that was Firefox's tracking protection, not a content

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. AdGuard doesn't have any scummy stuff like "acceptable ads", they make money by providing a fully functional free ad-blocker and selling a version that has more features. That's
