I can see a pretty uncivil but effective (in the UK) approach for shutting down this trend pretty early. Calling people wearing these 'nonces' (pedophiles) regardless of truth or not. It worked with Google Glass before and it&#x27

Remove "social" from media. It's just media. Books, film, radio, TV, video games, social media. Not all, but a good proportion of each of these forms of media.

I live in the UK and Amazon essentially dominates online retail here. It's usually the go-to brand name which "killed the high street", by undermining it completely.

Out of curiosity, do you know from when this data started being assigned? Is it just from when you install the NHS app and create some form of login or will it have everything there? I hadn't heard of this before.

I doubt the issue is with processed food. Basically everything we eat is processed (even fruit and veg is selectively bred and has been for decades if not centuries). Bread and pasta is fine. Ultra-processed is where all of our issues are c

In general, this message is good. Particularly interesting from a country which has given the world McDonalds and Coca Cola. The rise of Ultra Processed Food (UPF) is almost inline with the explosion of waistlines around the world. Not to m

Garmin are pretty decent. I have an Enduro 2 which lasts a fortnight on a charge (currently 37% with 6 days of charge left). It's waterproof. Unfortunately no wireless charging (proprietary cable) but it charges 2 weeks worth in about

My Enduro 2 lasts around that long, with about 1.5-2 hours of daily GPS tracking for running, part of 4 hours total exercise tracking per day, and underlying background fitness data collection (HR, respiration, temperature etc. including sl

I'd say Garmin has all of the features a smartwatch typically has that are worth having (notifications, fitness tracking, basic controls ie. music). For anything else, smartwatches are simply too awkward and small for any real use. Bet

Would that not just be replacing a phone with another smaller phone strapped to your wrist? Doesn't the fact that you are connected and communicable make whatever device you choose to use essentially a phone? I will say, if it is possi

It's unlikely ads would ever actually fund any meaningful real world product or service like public transport. The most they can fund is some crappy apps, websites and digital platforms, and most of the time they can barely do that. It

by sjw987 9mo ago
It'd be great if all public ads were banned and digital ads were the only form. That way those who are savvy enough can also block the digital ones and live a completely ad-free life. My annoyance is that regardless of how I lock ads o

It would be interesting to be able to define if an advertisement is still an advertisement in the sense the OP was referring if it is something sought out. I myself usually choose to watch trailers for movies, look at job ads and housing ad

A GPS that can track where you are, a microphone that can track what you say, and high enough usage from the average person (3 hours 45 minutes per day) to essentially track the thoughts, mood, and actions, all neatly tied to various accoun

If the author is going to over apply a new idea she's found, she should go all the way. Consumption isn't just buying things. It's the media, food, drink, and substances you consume as well. Sitting in an empty house watching

Wild that anybody thinks simply being in the office makes employees work. I have a colleague who sits within 2m of me who keeps their (personal) phone on their desk all day. They literally prop it up against the bottom of their computer mon

Analytics / viewer analysis can also be the first step to writing what other people want to write, as opposed to what you want to write. With that goes some of the passion, and therefore quality writing.

Writing is as much for the self as it is for other people. My grandad used to be a farmer, and used to keep a diary in which he wrote an entry every day before bed. It was all just really simple sentences of the things he did from one day t

They can provide footage of people stealing from your home to hand over to the police. Every privacy issue slated against security cameras can be made towards the security camera and microphone everybody has in their pocket at all times.

What about non-internet connected cameras? I use one for when my place is vacant, and it just records to SD card with major changes being kept and the rest overwriting. Keep it relatively hidden and should I be burgled at least there's

I think people look down on cyclists on British roads. Everybody I see driving around me seems in a rush, act as if the roads are exclusively for cars (despite the Highway Code reiterating recently that the pecking order is most to least vu

It's definitely regional. London has an enormous amount of cyclists whenever I've visited (good rental schemes and useful for the many tourists they have). In Leeds, not so much. Not many tourists, the bike lanes aren't unive

by sjw987 10mo ago
I've noticed London is a huge outlier when I visit. I haven't seen the same level of cycling elsewhere in the country. I would hazard a guess it's to do with the amount of rental bikes, how they're setup, and the huge am

It's odd, on one side the USA is very car-centric, and western Europe is very bike centric, and then stuck in-between is the UK which has no idea which one it is. Local governments here try to encourage cycling by putting in as many de

How frequently does this case scenario realistically come up? I attend a lot of events, and most of the time, I just quickly whip out my phone and scan the QR code (which is usually on a lanyard around their neck). We can both acknowledge t

As another person posted, I think your friends might be overselling. Most anime is utter dross, and sometimes very weird / weirdly sexualised (eg. clearly underage characters who the fanbases pretend are 1000 years old). The most well-

The chap basically has a permanent version of those clothing items that confuse security cameras. Perhaps we'll see more people sporting this look in the future.
