Excellent news; the nonsense that car dealers have been able to get away with since the start of the pandemic is simply ridiculous. Perhaps most frustrating is the complete uselessness of posted prices, as many dealerships note in very fine

Nobody is claiming that success is 100% attributable to luck. The claim is that becoming rich and famous is mostly luck-driven (see the quote in OP's comment), which I think is absolutely true. Believing otherwise leads the rich and

I don’t think this will significantly impact inReach sales. The Globalstar network is not a serious competitor to Iridium for life-critical applications, and inReach-type devices have far wider operating ranges (try sending an SOS from your

Ctrl-F “lossless”, “24”, “ALAC” on the tech specs page. No results. I am no audiophile, and I don’t really care about lossless audio one way or the other, but it seems deceptive to plaster “Apple Lossless” all over the Apple Music app when

Good to know they use computational algorithms to perform ANC! What would we do without the innovators at Apple… In other news, still no support for lossless audio, and the charging port is still Lightning rather than USB-C. Seems like a

An astounding accomplishment no doubt, but Nims is clearly very arrogant and self-centered. In addition, he didn’t reach the true summit of Manaslu, and has likely lied about other aspects of his climbs (for example, claiming to have climbe

This is drawing parallels to Futurama’s giant ice cubes in the ocean… if we don’t stop the problem of climate change at the root, i.e. mass overconsumption and waste, we’ll simply be facing the same challenge in another 50 years when greenh

This little drone has approximately 0 chance of competing with the big players on video quality. Why not simply embrace its limitations, and make them a part of its character?

Please no! Drones are a public nuisance; I would really prefer for them to be banned from all public outdoor areas.
