Yes, there are plenty of phones that have IP68 & 3.5mm without any rubber flaps etc., not to start a flamewar but it's strange to me that a lot of people seem to think they would be a necessary tradeoff... Apple had other reasons t

Mine "taught me" by handing over a cheap electric shaver and basically saying "you can't go wrong"... I think you can change the blades but he never did, so neither do I, just wait for the entire thing to break or g

Last time I used Amazon Prime Video, around 2017, it would show info that Amazon deemed relevant for that bit of the show (apparently it's called X-Ray). Back then at least, it wasn't on the same level as what you described but st

The euphemism treadmill is real but I disagree with Carlin's point that calling it shell shock rather than PTSD would have helped Vietnam veterans - when we called it shell shock in WW1 it was associated with cowardice and weakness, I

Normally I'd think "the President should follow the rules as well, so they have incentive to improve them". But maybe with tricky issues like this, the apparent self-interest in changing the rules would be seen just as badly

Back when Intel were really resting on their laurels it was hard to tell. Now we have M1/Ryzen you can reach some sort of conclusion depending on your view of those: - doesn't unlock some major new application for computers, 99% j
