In the US, Apple still release refurbished iPhone 13 Minis every now and again. In case you haven't heard, I believe they are new battery, new screen, new case. Basically a new phone, but with a plain white box. There are sites that al

I think there are still Nokia branded "dumb" phones being released. It seems they are now developed by HMD Global, another Finnish company who brought the Nokia mobile phone business. Seems like they still run the same software. T

Your comments, and your other reply to the parent post I was replying to, really resonated with me. I think by default I imagine things the same way as you - not images, not words, but just knowing how something is. I think perhaps that is

Have you considered the iPhone 13 mini? It's not the size of an iPhone 8 without the bezel, but it is smaller than the iPhone 8 (except that it is 1/3 of a mm thicker). You probably already know, but the 3rd Gen SE (same size as i

Not doubting your experience, but I can't see a single ad using Safari on iPhone. I was really impressed with my setup, but after disabling content blockers (Firefox Focus), and turning off using Mullvad's free DNS proxy service,

I've been trying to work out for a while how much aphantasia I have, and I think it might help to give more detail to your instruction, and then your follow-up question. If you said that to me, I would imagine the exterior of my house.

I frequently forget that the 2 nm naming has nothing to do with the physical size anymore. I hate that naming system. From Wikipedia: Node name Gate pitch Metal pitch Year 5 nm 51 nm 30 nm 2020 3 nm 48 nm 24 nm 2022 2 nm 45 nm 20 nm

All of the examples you gave (which I agree with, btw!), are generative AI, whereas I assume radiology would benefit more from the Machine Learning (ML), image in -> black-box ML decides whether it matches pattern -> verdict out, type

I'm going to expose my ignorance here, but I thought mAh/Ah was not a good measure for comparing storage of quite different devices, because it doesn't take into account voltage. This is fine for comparing Li-ion devices, bec

This seems like the video that the GP post was referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF2O4l1JprI Linus is surprised that fast charging does not heat the battery as much as expected. I interpreted that "length o

Even if the internal USB-C ports which the expansion cards plug into fail, which to me also seems like a long time away, the mainboard is designed to be replaceable so I think you'd be in a better position than with another laptop with

I think I agree with the hacker new hivemind, but I think I formed the opinion separately. I did a few small transactions with bitcoin ages ago, and it was a huge pain. Buying the bitcoin was painful, and then I couldn't send an exact

Hmm - I've just seen that postage is $1.55, so >15% of the amount. I'm not sure that is a reasonable fee. I'm deducting $2 from what I'm sending! Lucky there are $2 notes here. Of course, if not stated I suppose it wo

Ha! Fine, it will have to wait until I'm next near a post office with time to kill, otherwise it's not convenient. I think you'll allow that "not an unreasonable amount of effort" could imply "convenient".

I thought the draw-a-circle level was even more solidly in the class of much, much easier for a bot than a human. Perhaps in rejects if you draw a circle that scores 100%. Also, did people manage to draw a circle that passed without cheatin

My favourite so far is Level 38: Tough Decisions. I like the solution, but I also liked the dumbness it brought out in me along the way. When there's no limit to tries, and iteration is quick, it seems I revert to "I'll just

Thanks for bringing up that LinusTechsTips video - I'll try and track it down. I would not have expected that conclusion. I've already said in another comment on this thread that I'd expect the opposite!

I suppose the previous comment was likely saying more compared to not charging overnight, and fast charging in the morning. I would also have guessed the slow charging was better, but that is an uninformed opinion. I'd be quite interes

I think when companies found out that they had an issue with their Payroll software calculations, they mostly tried to solve it as quickly as possible, to put a line in the sand - from that point onwards at least, no additional errors were

Thank you for doing God's work. I wish I'd bought a Firefox phone - I would have been burned, but some people need to be for us to get anywhere. I tried to make up for it by buying an early generation FrameWork laptop. Edit: If yo

Having the displays on the outside when folded removes all the durability advantages of closing the phone with the screens inside. I don't even know if that affects my opinion of whether you'll be right or not, because putting gla

Brilliant! Thanks for measuring this - I know it may be crude, but it’s also the best measurement I have ever heard of for this! Assuming you like that kind of thing, maybe you can also test the power drain from displaying seconds in the ta

It seems that I was talking about a place with one of the highest depreciation rates (1) in the world, so what I said may not be widely applicable at all. I didn't realise it varied so much by country. I should have remembered that New
