I had a small local airport act like I was an idiot for not knowing they wanted all food items removed from carryon for scanning. Literally never heard of that.

The rule I always remember hearing is “however many backups you think you have, you have one less” Which is not as thorough, but still makes the point that you should do more than one backup

Messages and weather are basically the only things I allow to ping/vibrate, anything else only appears on the phone and I get it when I look at notifications. Email is pull only, have to open the Mail app to get messages. The annoying

I found it was even better to turn off all the notifications entirely, then you don’t get distracted by the watch interrupting you either. There are very few things I actually need to know about right now .

Having a closed coolant loop and using evaporative cooling which expends water aren't mutually exclusive. It's possible for a datacenter to manage heat rejection by blowing air over a radiator like a car does, but it's much

Niceness of lawn mowing is very climate dependent. Around 70 degrees I don’t mind it. Different story when it’s 98. Unenjoyable, and my electric motor’s batteries die twice as fast in the heat, so I have to do it two days in a row instead o

Revit is parametric, but something like Rhino (going off reputation, never used it myself) gives you more free-form modeling control. It’s like starting with a pencil sketch instead of going straight to SolidWorks, once you start building t

If you're not aware, you can remap modifier keys in System Settings on macOS. It doesn't have individual settings for left/right versions of a modifier key, so keep it in whichever mode has the modifiers on left/right pa

Not an expert, but from what I read the expectation is for sodium ion batteries to get substantially cheaper than lithium, mainly due to material cost. Lithium makes up 0.002% of the Earth's crust, meanwhile sodium is 2.36%, and there&

And when they pick up groceries they load everything onto the floor of the back seat because the bed is so high up you’d need a step ladder to use it

Another solution for this is a notebook with removable pages, you can scribble all you want and if you decide later you don’t need that page in this notebook you can take it out (toss it, store it, or reorganize to a different notebook) and

It was only 2.5 years between Apple's first device with Lightning (iPhone 5 in September 2012) and their first device with USB-C (12" Macbook in April 2015). It's not like Lightning had a huge track record at that point they

When I had a Pebble Time (dead, waiting on PR2) I basically had notifications turned off. For that matter, I have very few notifications enabled phone too. It's great as a watch that can tell you if it's going to rain, give you TO

Less the part where you can do it one handed, I don't see why they wouldn't be. Even the Time Round 2 has a microphone just no speaker. If not official support somebody else can always make it.

If it lasts 15 hours of recording and you record on average 5 seconds at a time, that’s about 11000 activations. I think 5 seconds is a pretty conservative estimate, most things I imagine this being useful for would be more looks 2. Easy to

Would be great, but at least on iOS the only way to add a PWA to your home screen is via the share menu. Apple would need to support that header pop-up to install the PWA and they won’t unless someone makes them.

For an easier change than HTML or SVG, try running them though pngcrush to make the graph images much smaller. Won't give you the lossless vector quality, but you should be able to keep these image files visually indistinguishable at m
