At least in the Apple world, my IT dept drop-ships MacBooks direct from Apple to employees, already enrolled in our MDM via their business partner program. Any additional software installations and provisioning happens after first boot via

At least part of the reason coffee plants produce caffeine is as a defense mechanism from insects. If you genetically engineer out the caffeine, your effort to farm the plant just went up if you aren't also able to genetically engineer

I like my Apple Watch for other reasons, but do have to admit that raising it to my face to set a timer or do a quick unit conversion while cooking is by far the most common "active" way I use it. I also use voice control a lot fo

I certainly don't condone cheating in sports but I have to imagine the sponsorship income and general notoriety opportunities are substantially different for someone who can make it into the top 20 or so of their division vs someone wh

With that said, though, there are also tons of inexpensive ways to output SPI or various other serial protocols from just about any device with a USB port, like your full-sized computer: https://www.adafruit.com/product&#x2F

Its a practical reality of the internet. It would be simply naive to believe that all content on Stack Overflow, Hacker News, and wherever else any of us post has not been scraped and archived by dozens of parties who I never explicitly aut

I'd agree with that theory - a big part of why I leave tabs open is that I'm not deliberately stashing them until later, I just get pulled into (or sometimes distracted by) something else and will, eventually, make my way back by

This is (at long last) rapidly changing: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/01/nyregion/nyc-trash-contai... DSNY is pushing hard on getting all trash containerized. Food-related businesses were required to

As someone who never took much advanced math or physics in school and really doesn't understand what either representation of that material is staying, personally I find the second example far, far more approachable because it is far m

They have a pretty narrow power band (produce efficient max power at a small range of RPMs) which always somewhat limited their use for normal ICE cars, but is a pretty workable constraint for an electrical generator. So you have compact si

I think its also just really hard for people to quantify on a small scale. Its much easier to reason about whether or not you get, on average, $25 a month worth of value from a subscription to the New York Times than it is to try and guess

This was me as a kid. Whenever we'd drive past the local hobby shop I'd beg my dad to make a stop so we could go look at the display (and play with the various buttons they had that lit up lights, switched tracks, etc). I've

Having to care enough and educate yourself about how to tell the difference adds a lot of friction to the shopping experience. I have no qualms about buying from Amazon if I know exactly what I’m looking for and I’m shopping in a category w

I’d wager a significant number of people posting here owe their careers to that commercialization - I hate listicles, too, but not so much that I would wish them away and gamble that I ended up with the same standard of living on an Interne

I agree with you in principle but I think if you're Consumer Reports and you know much of your audience is very nontechnical (ie, will only have a very surface-level understanding of electric vs hybrid vs ICE) it makes some sense to at

I figured as soon as I shared my own anecdote a bunch of others contradicting would follow. This perhaps makes it even more frustrating - I promise I enunciate well and don't verbally abuse the voice assistant!

My biggest frustration here is that it can't understand simple responses to questions it asked me. I'll ask Alexa to turn off the lights in a certain room, sometimes she'll respond "a few things share that name, which on

The averages skew things a bit here. Yes, many of the wealthiest people in the world live in the UES, but in between those single-family mansions and full service buildings full of quiet billionaires on the park, there are plenty of unremar

This is a very reasonable default way of operating, and the effort that goes into helping those you're leading understand and build agreement with the path we're taking together is IMO one of the key traits of a good leader - but

Often ports are fine, but in the Maui fire aftermath for example a lack of significant port infrastructure was frequently cited as a barrier to fast recovery. I’m not saying airships are better than water ships all the time, but there are c

Very, very different data throughput - when using your tiny low power handheld device, expect much higher losses and much lower signal to noise ratio. Think more “you can reliably send a a short text message” than “you can quickly load up y

Same general approach they took with the watches. Sure, the battery life is miniscule compared to dumb or even semi-smart watches. But that doesn’t really matter if it’s easy enough to throw it on a charger while you shower and get dressed

And let’s not forget that probably the most common type of comment on a recipe posted on the Internet is people sharing their additions or substitutions. I would bet there is some good ingredient customization data available there.
