They do the first two (clean and eat bugs) and will happily take sugar in the form of bread an cake crumbs you leave out on surfaces. We're already quite symbiotic

Genuine question, are distributed systems naturally more resilient? I can see arguments for both sides. Your point and then the hidden failure modes without central observability and ownership. Nothing exists in isolation.

Because its Teenage Engineering and hardware designwankery, not product design, is what they do. Need a BT speaker? That'll be $550 thank you, btw the speaker cones are completely exposed because it looks cool.

The title of the article is specific to -cordless- tools. Of course there are downsides around battery management and corded tools can have more torque but thats not what the article is about. I think the point of the article is cordless i

Action sports cams, dashcams, handheld gaming device such as the switch and steamdeck, I'm sure there's plenty more application. All fairly niche but it's a market

All true, there was a few comments from other parties in that video where they noted a significant number of bikes were going for 2-3 times expected. Either there's a bubble in the rare bike market or an influx of money looking for so

Here's a youtuber picking over the auction. You'll get to see the outside of the repurposed Walmart 'national museum', auction process and some really unique bikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnX7hk

Right! just last night I had a couple of free hours and thought... 'you know, I really should do a preventative valve check on my honda 450'. Youtube step by step to the right, cold beer to the left. Just bliss. About the ECU.

You can't generalise like this. We use modals, drawers and new tabs where appropriate. There's two words you must learn when talking about UI design - "It Depends". The one general rule I will state that guides towards

I'm wondering if this perspective is true at scale? If everyone is saving ~25% of their time then on the whole there is a 25% increase in workforce efficiency, no? The flip side of efficiency if the workforce headcount remains constan

I've been a happy pixel user for years after getting burned with some cheap Android phones, most notably One Plus. The Pixel 6 is an unmitigated clusterfuck. GPS/Maps locking up is the worst. Either wont load or will lock up dur

didn't mean to only be unfair to my kind, just a UX trait to not speak on the behalf of or make assumptions about other's motivations without direct domain knowledge or research.

To play devils advocate I guess you could argue that Facial Recognition is passive. Finger print, and by extension palm, requires proactive participation of the user. I.e. you choose to hand over your palm to be read, you do not make the s
