Somewhat related to your points, I found that a lie-flat bed is highly beneficial for long haul flights, such as US <-> Asia, especially as you get older and your body can't take the punishment of sitting in economy for 13 hours.

Per the other sub-thread, the light and cover has different functions, and one cannot replicate the other. Depending on your needs, you might want the light and/or the cover.

Exactly, even if it is just a bit of tape, it cannot be replaced by the LED.

Force = mass × acceleration. The larger size of the tablet means that if it fails at an angle where the glass is subject to the impact, the force will be greater. It's possible that tablet glass is designed to withstand a larger force

Yes, and what is a short term mitigation technique if the camera is hacked? Covering it with something so that you can work with the computer until it is secure again without video being recorded.

I don't think anyone suggested removing the LED camera indicator if a camera cover is added. They serve different functions, even though there is an intersection. The camera LED indicates whether the camera is powered on or off, when t

Coming across these terms for the first time, and after reading some material online, it seems these two ideas are mildly compatible? Especially with Justice Scalia being identified as both a originalist and textualist. Would you mind expla

Just in case it's not clear, I stated that MEMS mics and IMUs are used in smartphones, and that MEMS speakers have been available for a while now. If it seemed like I said MEMS speakers are used in smartphones, that was unintentional.

Obviously depends on the type of speaker and microphone, but I have actually used headphones as a mic in a pinch before (in a lab setting, not in everyday use).

Bodybuilding hard seems to conflate 2 types of hard tasks: move-a-mountain-with-a-shovel hard, where something is time consuming, such as having to hand-label millions of images for machine learning datasets, and quit-heroin hard, where som

Just to be clear, this seems to be the first monolithic MEMS speaker, which I take to mean that the speaker array is fabbed as one die, as opposed to each speaker being a separate piece of silicon. There are already MEMS speakers availabl

Hi Mercer, interesting points. But I think in general, the FOSS projects that thrive, that gather users which report bugs, that has an active community, are going to be the ones which attract developers, not necessarily because they seek fa

Haven't thought very deeply about this, but FOSS doesn't seem like socialism, as the capital being competed for is user attention. FOSS projects without enough capital does not gain enough developers, and falls into disrepair and

That's a good point. As testing technology advances, many of these will be mitigated. Although until the tests get to the point where they can give results within minutes, like the flu tests have progressed to, it will not be a complet

According to WebMD, COVID-19 can live up to 5 days on various materials ( https://www.webmd.com/lung/how-long-covid-19-lives-on-surfac... ). Why not just have a rotation of 6~7 masks where every mask that can be reused i

I haven't decided whether DO did the right thing or not, but to be fair, your analogy should be more in the line of "they evicted me and burned everything of mine in the apartment".
