For the Apple Watch, the one feature I want is when I’m walking my dog my usual 3.5-5 miles per day, stop to chat with someone, and have it automatically pause, NOT prompt me asking if I want to Pause after a five-minute delay. This is already implemented for Outdoor Cycle and works well, but not for Outdoor Walk. It…

This is the phone which Steve Jobs famously said was “the perfect size.” Now Apple, and all the other manufacturers, sell phones which are much larger, up to and including “phablets.”

This reminds me of my experience working in the Intel “RNB” building in Santa Clara, which is the corporate headquarters, about 2003-2005. The best we could get was 10Mb, half-duplex service. 100Mb was the industry standard at the time and 1000Mb was emerging. The irony was Intel was making 1000Mb cards and silicon;…

This is not news — I’m sure I read this about 20 years ago.

The photo more looks like they recycled an old Dan Quayle photo than using a recent photo of the former guy.

This article failed to mention on iOS, you have the option of simultaneously recording input from the device’s microphone and also where the resulting video is stored. Apple did a good job hiding this feature.

The injection molding die is not cheap. Just wait for it to be reversed engineered and the 3D printer design made available on Thingiverse. Total cost will be under $1. Perhaps you can print at your public library like I can. 😉

$5M is chump-change, especially since the lawyers will take half.

I wish media would stop lumping horror and science fiction under the same umbrella as they are very different genres. One is about being grotesque and scaring the bejeezus out of viewers and the other has “science” in its name.

A micro-SD card slot! (One can wish!)

Hmm, are tire manufacturers including EV-specific weasel words in their tire warranties? If not, the typically pro-rated warranty should pay perhaps 70-80% of replacement cost.

Boeing does not make engines. Turbofan engines are made by General Electric, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, and a very few others. The buyer of the aircraft selects the brand installed on their aircraft.

On the plus side, the depopulating cities may have affordable housing?

I sure hope they DID use Torx, hex, or Robertson screws instead of stupid Phillips screwheads! Probably not Robertson....

Some 15-20 years back, it was alleged the major high-tech companies agreed (conspired) not to poach each others’ employees. This was deemed limiting employees movement and stifled career growth. I was part of the class and got a check for a few tens of dollars. The judge then said the settlement was grossly inadequate…

Here in the Portland area, during the rainy season, the soil and grass is pretty soggy, often similar to a very wet sponge. The ground is very resilient and provides a fairly cushy surface.

That said, the phone probably hit terminal velocity pretty quickly making the impact from a 16,000-foot drop and a 160-foot drop…

Yes, my PC does support both Secure Boot and TPM2.0 — only the CPU generation is not supported.

Is M$ really wants to get people off Windows 10 and on Windows 11, they should support Kaby Lake-era PCs. My i7-7700 with 32GB of RAM and multiple SSDs is much more than capable of running Windows 11 very well and I’m not willing to spend my money on a new PC just to get Windows 11. If they start charging for Win10…

I’ve got two of the original model around somewhere, one I bought and the other I got at work in the 1980s. A quick check on eBay shows they are selling used for roughly the price of this “Collector’s Edition.”
