The Canon EOS 50 film camera had eye controlled focusing in 1995... sure it could only manage 3 zones but that's all the camera had :-)

Plus, upgrading Hubble wouldn't get us close either. JWST is specifically designed to shield the sensors from IR/heat, and it's 1 million miles from Earth for a similar reason.

If he has a judgement against him, couldn't they make it very hard for him to do any further business in Delaware? That could be quite a handicap.

Only yesterday I was wishing there was a Valet Mode for when I hand a phone over to Apple for servicing. Hopefully they will accept this...

I had over a year of completing the health three rings on Apple Watch (maybe failed on two or three day) - but a flight tripped me up and it fell apart very quickly. The ability to make up the missed days might have led me to carry on. Or m

Madness. I had a 9am start from elementary through to university. In the UK. I'm in Southern California now. My kids middle school starts at 9... I'm glad High School will now be similar.

"Hey world! Look what we're building - we're not afraid of you or our failures!" It's a very strong message. It's also propaganda, to control the narrative, distract and deceive. Maybe they already know it&#x27

it is closer to a panini maker that you'd think... lets call it a poor mans panini even if it isn't very cheap. The cage is very stiff and squeezes the slices very tightly together. So get the bread thickness and filling right, an

No. Also it's incredible difficult to touch the elements even if you wanted to: there is a mylar sheet covering them (and they are behind a cage...). See: https://assets.dualit.com/images/landscapehalf/50027-c

The clockwork timer on mine broke, so I bought a replacement and repaired it. I bought it in Europe so it was 220v. When I moved to the US I purchased 110v heater elements and swapped them out. It's metal, held together with screws, an

my eye doctor told me not to bother because chances are as I get older my eyes will natural start to go long sighted, and that'll cancel out my shortsightedness. If I had LASIK I would definitely end up needing reading glasses...

If I could run Safari on Linux I'd switch from Chrome and make it my primary browser... if I could run Firefox on iOS, I might consider making that my primary - but I trust Apple to optimize battery/performance more than Mozilla o

start/stop isn't triggered by the accelerator. The engine starts immediately when the brake is released. For most drivers it is unnoticeable. I don't like it but that's because there is little intelligence deciding when

It's not noticeably more difficult to drop an item in 1 of 4 bins vs 1 - and it reduces spoilage.

I'm a Brit. I lived in Germany 10 years, now I'm in San Diego (been in the US 12 years). Life is good, but I miss Germany. More than I miss England. I don't regret leaving as we had our reasons, but if we had stayed, well...

my car tells me to take it for service minimum once a year, for maintenance that's going to cost $500-$800 depending on the alternating schedule. 2-3 hours in the bay max. It's mostly visual, filters and fluids... material costs

A company that doesn't respect the need for privacy and/or the need to take time off should be avoided. Nobody should have to explain a gap between jobs upfront - they could be gardening, on pilgrimage or attending family - Or sim
