Patch fiber is usually using Class 1 or Class 1M lasers which are entirely safe to look at. Also the light spreads out very rapidly at the end of an unterminated fiber because there's no lens to focus it. So don't hold it directly

So basically you can run macOS however you want as long as you're already running macOS on Apple hardware. The question I've always had is how enforceable is that really? Obviously the whole point of Apple making macOS freely avai

Look at electric cars. We've had them longer than ICE cars but they've never really been viable for most cases up until recently. It's not like we just realized we could run a car on electric motors, it's that battery te

The iPhone wasn't the first cell phone and wasn't the first smartphone either. One could assume that it would cost at least as much as a brand new Blackberry or Windows Mobile phone since not only was it Apple but it has features

My wife uses caffeine pills on occasion but I prefer energy drinks most mornings alongside something like toast. Obviously more expensive but the drink has a slower come-up (likely due to the extra water and food). Whenever I do take pills

The article was saying that this was likely the first shot. Standard bullets fired from an unsuppressed AR-15 travel faster than sound. No one in the crowd would have heard anything until about 70ms later (shooter about 125 yards away, assu
