You don’t have GPS satellite data, “location services” without Google Play services. That means a gps lock takes minutes. This data could be stored on the phone, but it’s better for google if you fetch it from them when you need it.

Yeah. This is why I’m so pessimistic about long-term prospects for the human race. Living minimally is a skill that society has essentially turned into a negative trait. Our planet can only support so much, and individual humans are very

I can personally report that at 5A draw(the highest reported from any of my flashlights), these spring battery terminals still don't get hot. I'm not sure why I would need/want to push 10A to each battery? Drawing 5A already

In flashlights they use gold-plated phosphor bronze springs that seem to work well and last.

Sorry to hear that, and good luck. Additionally I apologize for the undue cynicism, but as a flashlight enthusiast I've been frustrated with this problem for years and years. The form factor of a battery charger and USB powerbrick&#x2F

I'm going to go ahead and sling mud at iFixit for using a Battery pack instead of individual cells and springs. It also doesn't seem that this expensive power supply supports power pass-through. A soldering iron shouldn't hav

I use an iPhone SE2 that I got refurbished in the past 6 months by Apple. I couldn't replace just the battery, because the rear glass had a crack in it. This thing is a mess, refurbishing it feels like a waste of money. It runs out of

Everybody is different. 3 years ago I took a summer and then autumn off of caffeine; my intent was to quit and only use caffeine in "times of need". This would be an on-brand thing for me to do as a person, and something I wanted

I’ve become less clean in my life because I believe too much cleanliness is bad for your immune system. Could be a placebo, but I haven’t had allergies since.

I mean, I think it makes sense and deserves funding. Creatine has a mountain of evidence in sports nutrition, as you are likely aware, so much that it’s kinda mind boggling to me that there hasn’t been more research into treating it more li

I asked this question here a while back and the answer I got was that at failure steel rebar stretches rather than breaks catastrophically and thats a very important safety factor when calculating dynamic loads, a fiberglass rebar structure

Yes, that is sage wisdom. It is a fallacy to think that humans exist in any sort of harmony with nature. The law of nature is kill or be killed. I’m reminded of this each summer when wasps try to take my home from me.

> coming to iPhone 15 pro, iPad and Mac with M1 or later. I assume it will come to all the iPhone 16’s this fall? Or is Apple Intelligence a Pro Feature? Either way, my first reaction is that this is going to sell a lot of iPhones.

Yup! And deciduous trees planted next to your house are an excellent green way to decrease heating and cooling costs. Shade when you need it, not when you don’t. This is the exact reason we blow leaves too.

I have had the twin battery Makita model for several years now. It’s a fabulous tool, basically functions how you describe I believe. Puts out a max of 61db on high. Expensive, but we already have makita tools, and it made a hated chore es

Really? Man, I hate to say this, but how long have you been restoring your iPhone and Mac when you replace them? Maybe you are importing a bug with your settings/environment. I've literally never had to restart my hotspot for my

Yes! I have a layer accessible by a press and hold on my keyboard (mostly qwerty layout) that gives me arrow keys under FDSE, PgUp/Down and Home/End on 4,R,5,T. It also has custom chords of ctrl + shift, ctrl, alt+shift, alt on th

I honestly don't blame them. Couple of reasons. First, having your assets in Garry's Mod is, in my opinion, a ticking time bomb for those assets going viral. This can be good, however in Nintendo's case their target market

I hate this article. Can’t we do some philosophical introspection instead of just this data driven drivel? There is even a clue in the empty nesters vs parents section but no discussion. Is the author just afraid of saying something offensi

What is there to talk about? Seriously. This is just status quo behavior for businesses, and why do we care about some tiny minority of Googlers protesting and being fired? The only thing I can think of to say about this is how disconnected

I switched to FastStone image viewer several years ago after getting curious when I saw it on ninite and haven’t looked back. It virtually instantly displays even large JPEGs from a cold start.
