There's quite a bit of hyperbole in the article, but that part reads like a marketer's dream. Imagine that: The idea that all you need to do to solve your social cohesion problems is to buy something. How incredible would such a p

Just a few tangental facts: The H5N1 virus currently causing havoc in the USA is also present in the dairy system (and is likely to continue spreading as it's spread by migratory birds). On average this results in 30% of supermarket mi

I think there should be a standard set of images for comparison, because I've never seen a mesh generator readme that wasn't impressive. I test each one I get my hands on and the results are often disappointing.

Running my usual img2mesh tests on this. 1. It does a pretty good job, definitely a steady improvement 2. The demos are quite generous versus my own testing, however this type of cherry-picking isn't unusual. 3. The mesh is reasonably

My take aways from this: - The EU’s interpretation of the DMA is vastly different from what they actually wrote on paper. - If Apple were asking hardware vendors to access iOS through these methods it would be deemed anticompetitive. - Ther

Did you mean that hundreds or thousands of start ups would use these features? I don’t see how these changes will be the deciding factor for whether a start up could exist or not. To use your own example with pebble - it does exist despite

The unintended consequence of this is that it effectively elevates Apple's protocols and methods to standards, without any kind of industry consultation. The reason that's a bad thing is because the standards are filled with nuanc

That’s an interesting rationale from them, especially as neither word includes the letter “u”, and “duo” for “do over” is neither obvious nor established. Hopefully they exercised better judgement in the design of the product.

Also just a tip for an easy discount code or coupon: 1. Visit the manufacturer's social media account, if they are promoting an influencer, then visit the influencer's social media account. 2. That influencer usually has a discoun

It's just "bait and switch" (which is illegal in most countries) with a few more steps. They should be forced to offer a refund.

The expansion of ways that we consume media plays a role, but I don't think we've lost the sounds of an era, it's just that the hooks are now coming from a variety of sources. "Badger Badger Badger" (and their kin)

The problem is one of self awareness, or rather the complete lack of it. The values I see extolled in matter of fact tones are a consistent feature of not just these forums, but are particularly noticeable here.

This topic comes up a lot when Apple release a device with the “pro” label. So sure it contains an M2, but it’s also a fanless device that combines its entire componentry, including the screen, into a package that is just a few mm thick. On

This is also a common side effect of corporate policies that favour short term profits rather than retaining staff for the long term. I see this scenario play out constantly : 1. A team or staff member has a project's data located on

I can take a guess why it's not there: The user should have the belief that all of their messages are being saved indefinitely. A false sense of security can give rise to the behaviour of sharing too much. There is no disappearing mess

Regarding diapers: supermarket brands are cheapies and can leak (e.g. Tena, Depends, etc.) Instead you'll want to take yourself to a pharmacy or care store to seek out a proper continence pad, yes they cost slightly more, but they work
