I might be an idiot but it wasn't obvious to me. Watching the demo of the robot standing stationary, responding to a customer ask for (and point to) cellophane bags of chocolate and then the robot grab and pass it to the customer seeme

Yes, spot on, but it'd be closer to 25% for a grid-scale solar PV installation.

I think I have the same phone system and have been meaning to do something similar for years. Do you have any of your work documented/published anywhere? I think the Nuki [1] exists for this purpose by the way, I stumbled upon it when

I read in a book once that the zone 10-20 minutes before sleep where you're kind of transitioning is a kind of altered state of consciousness, and that Edison used to utilise this by, during working sessions, sitting in a chair with a

I really liked the local player that would download videos continuously on my crappy dial up connection. You downloaded a file (a few kb) and it just perpetually downloaded the data until you came back hrs later and it was ready. Man I can&

Well said. I totally agree with the need/desire to preserve games, but I think people misrepresent how much of Wii U/Switch emulation was PC gamers wanting to play BOTW and TOTK on their PC because it's convenient and free.

Agreed. It would be cool if you could recycle them then and there for re-use.

I thought one of the marketing lines was that Amazon was so confident/comfortable in their implementation was that they assumed all liability for mistakes (though as I type this I realise they may have worded it to encapsulate only hon

Lately all I think about from day to day, as we're inundated with AI advancements that seem to be more rapid and impressive by the month, is that a) we simply have to acknowledge that this is the time to move away from a "winner t

This is really interesting, thanks.

I've always thought this was a good solution too. I'm not sure how difficult it is to have a cloned eSIM and have your carrier call/msg both devices at once for a small extra fee?

I'm with you. As I mentioned elsewhere, I'd have a Light Phone if it could use Telegram and a few other "essentials." Throw in a good camera and it'd be incredible. At the moment I use greyscale mode on my Pixel and

Thanks for this. I've been thinking about pulling my phone use right back. I was really wanting to use the Light Phone, as I like how small and minimal it is. The only problem is it doesn't run Telegram/Whatsapp which is kind

I just can't get past the Intervals design. Wanted to like it but it's an absolute cluster for me.

Does PikaPods do what you're talking about? I use it for Actual and for Paperless and it's awesome.

Could be buying into the myth, but I read somewhere that there was header or metadata in one of the ROMs that basically betrayed that it had been downloaded from a popular ROM site. Is that not right?

This is extremely impressive. Congratulations!

I'm the exact same, but moving from a desktop (which I've always had) to a laptop such as the Framework laptop. I'd just like 10-20% better graphics performance than what's available without losing the 13" form fact

I didn't know a lot of this. I thought Telegram was mostly funded through Durov's Bitcoin and VK money? It feels strange that he'd be so "in bed" with the Russian govt when the whole reason he left was because of hi

Depends what country/culture you're in. Here in Australia, you'd never not call a truck/ute a car.

I am on my third Mighty due to faults. The first one was an early model which had an unpatchable firmware issue that bricked it. They sent me a replacement, for free. One the second one, the cable (and jack port) keeps corroding, meaning I

Did they? I thought pretty early they saw the writing on the wall given the low barrier to entry for a juggernaut like Disney to compete with them, and went hard at their "Originals". I remember an interview with Hastings saying a

On your last point: Bundling features together in tiers even if not every user needs everything in every new tier is not new in any digital or even non-digital pricing strategy. Doubly so when the cost to Netflix to "grant" you 4

It's funny, Kagi has almost been worth it just to allow me to prioritise Wikipedia results which for literally 80-90% of my searches is all I'm really looking for. Wikipedia has seemingly been relegated to the 8th or 10th result f

I agree mostly, but I've been pretty impressed by the Bigscreen Beyond. To me, that is more than small enough to be mainstream, but maybe that's just because I'm judging it by the amount of size/weight it dropped compare
