To look cool carrying around a device that has the dimensions of a normal tablet but the processing power of a wish.com tablet. I'd much rather just carry a phone and a ultra portable laptop around than this stupid…
Apple invented one people actually wanted to buy
If you are doing something so well and making tons of money, why spend money on what will absolutely ruin your core business? Personal computers weren't just going to supplement the copier business, they would seriously…
In some places, Uber is just a front-end for a bunch of taxi companies to let you hail them. I remember doing this in Athens, the app just calls a taxi for you. Although I don't remember if I paid through the app or…
In an employee owned corporation, you would get some say in leadership. Although it's possible that in a large enough corporation, it would be an indirect democracy. You vote for board members who vote for the company…
Even if you could manage to find some ADSL+ equipment, you are going to tap out at around 48Mbps, I'm not sure if you can push unshielded, twisted 2-pair wire any faster. One downside would be that all of the phone…
The lingua franca comes from the dominant culture of the time. The massive colonial empire of Britain move things from latin to English and the rise and control of the US has perpetuated English even more so. If the…
I remember watching an episode where they planned to build a partially subterranean home all within some sort of triangle shaped junkyard that sat on the interior of a block of townhomes. Completely ridiculous idea but…
An interesting idea but the whole point of a passport is to prove which country are a citizen of. Countries set their visa policies to accept or deny based on passport origin. A US passport can get you a visa quickly in…
We need to bring back the Turbo button.
There is usually a setting for the rear seat reminder. It's to remind people to not leave their babies in the car. Maybe the volume is purposefully set a little high to wake the kid up just in case you forget.
We bought an Instant Pot-brand air fryer. I love the thing entirely except for the buttons. They are not real buttons, just some sort of touch sensor but they sometimes just cannot detect a finger. You'd think that…
Waze has been pretty good at finding gas stations along my route and organizing them by distance from me and distance from my route. Like it would show a gas station 2 miles off the highway from the next exit but it…
My building has a lot of "private offices" but due to overcrowding, you end up doubling or tripling up in offices meant for one person. These are traditional offices with a window and solid wood door. Honestly, I'd…
Some travel credit cards will pay for TSA Precheck for you.
Both of those jobs are very often performed my people with little to no other option to escape poverty. A poor kid growing up in WV in some bumfuck town may only have the option of mining coal like generations before…
I imagine that iMessage isn't executing the code but the malware is packed into some part of the metadata that some dumb library needs to parse and some sort of buffer overflow attack is accomplished. The library is…
This is an interesting idea but how does the cost compare both on computer resources and setup effort to scan the entire warehouse floor? Simply having robots with accurate motor encoders (and maybe IR sensors like in…
This is great, I've been looking for just this kind of solution in a small package. I don't always have a GPS antenna drop but I do have a rubidium source in my rack. None of the computers have a 1pps or 10MHz input…
Diamonds do have significant markup depending on where it is purchased but they do still have some value. As long as the buyer can verify the certificate and the diamond is of significant quality, size, clarity, etc. it…
Wouldn't the EU allow for citizens to return from travel, regardless of whether it was an essential trip or not? The bans are essentially just entry visa restrictions that the airlines are enforcing. Finding a seat on a…
I visited a national laboratory for an experiment and saw the tungsten bricks the size of a normal building red brick) they used to shield parts of experiments from high energy particles. They weighed about 60 lbs each.
Gold can easily melt in a house fire. A diamond ring can turn into a puddle of gold and no diamond because it burned off
5KHz is pretty low, it would be difficult finding anything in the ham category because no ham bands are that low. You would need to probably build your own receiver. The good news is that 5KHz is super low frequency and…
I haven't used a LimeSDR but I have used the mini version which is just about the same hardware minus the extra TX/RX channels. It's a great little device that covers a massive spectrum with a decent bandwidth as well.…
