Someone will always find something to outrage about... Lenses are round for functional design reasons. You don't shout at an incoming storm, you seek shelter - that's just how it is .

At 3.5 years since release, my brother's Note 10 was just upgraded to Android 11 - a major upgrade which will extend the life of the phone also quite literally thanks to Lenovo style charging limits. The Note 10 was released in August

It's got 12GB of memory; my own S21 Ultra has 16. It's powerful enough to perform as an laptop of kinds with DeX, in a much tighter form factor, with far better cameras - also a high resolution display, so it's not a complete

Yeah, ironically I thought the same as I tried to read it - on my S22 Ultra 512/16. I can't stand the website. (Polestar's website is the same - overly complicated with folding animations and really busy elements that load be

Windows desktop refuses to even let the monitors sleep if it detects eg game controllers such as Heusinveld Sprints (pedals). It's truly notoriously bad. I suppose it's designed that way to ensure a game won't black screen, b

Thanks, I was going to post "sigh what?" I can't ever remember sighing, but I guess I'll be paying attention to it now. I like reading on my Kindle, fwiw.

If they kept everything just about as is except maybe a small NYT logo at the top and an update of the complete screen, I.e. "Next word in 13 hrs 37 minutes; meanwhile try our crosswords (enticing link)" then that would be a big w

The Mazda 3 Astina 2014's Radar Cruise Control had clear warnings that it would not detect motorcycle riders. Yet not once did it fail to actually do so .. I guess they just weren't confident enough, and that I hadn't been be

If they'd only called it "advanced cruise control with lane assist" instead, they sure as hell would have improved things. The Autopilot in Tesla is more like the one you'd find in an A-10C (three options: hold this curr

Every body is beach body ready etc. Can't have anyone have their feelings hurt, lest they get the idea that getting into shape might not be a bad idea - instead of getting to live in the delusion that obesity is normal and to be embrac

Thanks. Alcohol is a poison and getting drunk has nothing to do with finding yourself. I wish people would quit romanticising addiction. I quit a bit over a year ago. Never properly addicted, but Australian culture has it so firmly embedded

Author uses aircraft cockpits as an example of "improvement". I've been getting back into DCS recently, and one thing that's struck me with the A-10C (II) is just how incredibly resilient the entire design is. Sure there

When I first stepped afoot in the US (Newark Airport) in 1999 I saw more grossly overweight people in the first half hour than I had in the last half year in Norway. Easily. Coming from Oslo, Norway, going to a dev conference. Cultures were

Exercise is such a wonderfully vague term. For example I get nowhere the same effect from 10 minutes of walking as I do 10 minutes of squats - perhaps lights for reps superset with shoulder presses, very short breaks.

Absolutely. For me the mental health benefits almost outweigh (sorry) the physical ones - however of course it also demonstrates just how connected the two are. On top of that my thinking is so much clearer too; it doesn't even have to

That's awesome! My battery life is not good at all. I had it replaced after 3 years - bought it ahead as part of "warranty", but it's likely due for another replacement now. Other than that it's only recently starte

I see you also follow my rule: When buying a laptop, always buy top spec. My laptop is an OG X1 Carbon i7/8/256. I can't upgrade it easily, but I'm actually happy with it for my purposes. My main driver is a Ryzen deskto

So not likely to see this one then? Did you use your squat rack in the last 24 hours? No: Go do some lifting. (That's a sure fire way to lift my spirits.)

Agreed. Gaining materials for engineering is on the opposite end of this scale, as to just flying in space. Definitely not a requirement.

We did get the test for it for my two; can't recall if we did any extra ones. Believe we skipped them, at least on the 2nd. I've come around to maybe change my mind since then, however I'd need to be in a very good position t
