Noise is a design choice and could likely be legislated away. Reject heat is different than heating from greenhouse gas effects that are “heating the planet”. No one bats an eye when an air conditioner runs.

Libraries of Things are a thing now. The items that are most useful are those that lend things that you use from once a year to every couple of years. My local library (PEI Library Service) has a telescope, radon detector, a basic (and I me

Interesting to see that he was actively worked on for hours and hours. This is a very dedicated team, with significant awareness of hypothermia recovery. It wouldn’t as much as an internist with too long of a day to call it after the third

Any recommendations? I searched, but not sure if the results that come up are just white-boxed versions of the same thing.

What would have been the purpose of stupid code like that? Was it a workaround for things that didn’t fully complete on one iteration, so the devs kept hammering away at it until it worked?

Mentions of the resizable iOS apps seem to signal a desktop dock mode, which ties into your concern. We know Apple is bringing a folding iPhone through manufacturing leaks. A desktop mode is less likely to be leaked, since it would be most

In 2009, I recorded a video of the after effects of a torrential downpour in Toronto on a Sony HDV camera. I also called up a few news stations to see if I could sell it. I ended up reaching CFTO (CTV Toronto), and took the footage over to
