This would be a killer feature for a podcast app. I can't stomach NPR content unless it's sped up to almost 2x, with the exception of a few fast talking hosts.

A few companies have demoed wireless cases with screens, and I would be very easy to tap connect on the case while I'm putting in the buds. My earbud was loose in my case yesterday, and it kept …

The trick is to use Google music. The recommendation algorithm is so bad that your brain rejects the slop it thinks you will like.

Can mess up the price ladder!

I'm worried about who will rush in to fill the vacuum.

I wonder if the adaptation is still in the works? https://deadline.com/2021/11/bradley-cooper-set-hyperion-at-... …

Website down? "This deployment is temporarily paused"

I'm convinced that the studio forced the change to 'human batteries' out of concern over a conflict with Hyperion.

I was trying to follow a piece of older equipment's cleaning procedures to the letter, but once I hit "flush with freon" I decided to go off-book.

I think it was the MPAA that tried to develop DVD players with cameras so they could count room occupancy and lock the content if you were tying to exceed the terms of their license.

Sadly, I think this is only the beginning. Once video monitoring becomes cheap and easy we will see "shirts folded per hour", "distance swept per annum", "steps deviating fro…

They lost me at "vacuum deposition - impossible" without justification. As far as processes go it's one of the safest (everything happens in a sealed vacuum chamber). Maybe the solven…

It's a big reason why they were constantly accusing every opponent of being a crook. People don't want to vote for a crook, but if you convince enough voters that all politicians are dishon…

It's common in the US to have a whole house water-softener. Is this less common in the UK?

Reminds me of the artist that shipped glass cubes via FedEx, letting the box throwers make the art for him. https://museemagazine.com/features/2018/10/15/walead-bes…

The quest for quarterly returns will be our downfall.

There was a great study from a decade ago that showed that baseball cards held by lighter skinned hands outsold cards held by darker skinned individuals on eBay. An algorithm designed today with the g…

Any idea why they are reporting the estimated lifespan at 290°C? Testing seems to have been done at 440°C and above.

I hope a few of these experimental alternative battery chemistries prove viable. One company recently claimed their Al/Li batteries has 92% efficiency at -13°C https://www.digitaltren…

IIRC, at the time they were the only US option to get people to and from the space station.

IIRC, SpaceX and some of their suppliers were considered essential personnel during the early covid lockdowns.

IIRC, they have been caught pre-scripting scenes. The most famous incident being the Tesla Roadster debacle - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_controversies#Tesla_R... &qu…

I'd imagine the results of steps 1 & 2 would have a high ROI on Grindr

They both use the same Bin and PCN numbers. Reportedly the group and member ID's can be anything

Reports are that this is just a rebranded GoodRx.

On-star and similar automatic incident reporting. Presumably he drove past first responders at the scene of an accident and jammed their communication. Construction zone flaggers typically use radio…

I hate dark/dingy basements, so one of my first purchases with my new house was 100k lumen of Costco shop lights. I do find myself cleaning the basement, doing laundry, and working on projects m…

Q: Does it get hot/how is it cooled? A: It's cooled through our large heatsink and ultra quiet Noctua fan. The fan only turns on above 75% brightness. At max power, the heatsink is cool enou…
