Is there really nothing the sane can do to stop this littering? It was bad enough that SpaceX is tossing a bunch out there, now Bezos. Who is next? Pretty soon we won’t be able to launch anything past orbit without hitting something. Other than sheer greed and bribes, why aren’t the authorities that license this kind…

It’s funny - all these years where no MCAS existed, pilots knew if you stall, you dive and they did and recovered. Why is this even a thing? It makes people lazy - a bit like rear view cameras. You get used to them and don’t look beyond the screen when reversing - never really thinking that there may be someone…

Would it kill Apple to make a Surface Studio 2 iMac in addition to one that has no touch? Let the public decide which they prefer. They have the pencil already, just need a puck. I’ve been jonesing for a SS2, but the hardware is anemic in comparison - just THAT SCREEN wow. lust. Also - would it kill Apple to use…

This article is all FUD. Lu177 is short-lived. In 30 days it’s gone. Since this is a week in, it was a half strength of what was given, which is likely Lutathera or around 8GbQ of Lu177. For 48 hours patients are to stay at a distance from children or pregnant women. After a week, no restrictions at all. Was this…

So 10 years ago, you know when the iPhone came out, and all of these tens of thousands of developers had $0 revenue. Then all of a sudden, they had the new marketplace known as the App Store sell their apps for a whopping $1. They made millions in many cases, even with the 30% fee. Now they are large developer shops,…

Think about 3 times about that comment... A pack of American cigarettes overseas is around $3, here that same back is $12-15 depending on the metro area... all taxes. At the federal level, duty free cigs at the airport are around $5 per pack. That’s A LOT of taxes, and likely why they are still legal. Also - while a…

I’d have pulled his creds just for being a douche. Like or hate him, he is the president and there is a protocol for these things. The guy asked his questions and kept going. I watched realtime - felt bad for the intern. But the other “reporters” jumping in out of order etc... I can see how Trump got P/O’d. What…

The problem with any genetic test is that the analytics are constantly changing. Coming up negative for the ability to metabolize drug X now, doesn’t necessarily mean that’s true - they may discover that adding one more ATCG letter somewhere in there may change it to highly effective in the near future. If you get…

Instead of blanket banning rules a la FDA, how about throwing a few bucks in the direction of testing and labeling? I think overall vaping is safer than analog cigs. However, without knowing what is in the juice is a huge downfall. I refuse to buy any cherry, cinnamon or custard flavorings specifically for the reasons…

Since NPA/NPX spoofing is legit for a reason: namely, if a company wants every call in the building to appear as if it’s coming from one number, or vice versa we’re stuck with it. However, there is no reason why upstream switching network cannot validate that the assigned number block matches the source it’s coming…

Ok so in Portland it’s $270 for 5g and about $3000 for cellular. But you need 100x the quantity of towers. So now Portland is getting (illustratively) about 60,000 for 20 towers, but they will get roughly the same amount for the very small, transceivers. What’s more important, is that they will get 100x the…

Color is a hard concept for most to grasp. Apple changed a ton of color in the UX... folder backgrounds, dock background, notifications all have different background colors making the whole thing feel different. I’m getting used to it, but at a glance, the new darker gray seems to make the whole thing feel wrong.

Some cars don’t have touch screen displays and use the big knob (older BMW, Mercedes are two examples)... in the case of Mercedes, the dashboard buttons for nav/tel/media, when in carplay mode, open maps/telephone/now playing, respectively. Kind of handy considering the knob method is a PITA. However, the nav button…

Does running your own DNS server that goes to root zones directly have a benefit with these new players? For years I’ve run my own on my home server and DHCP passes it to all home devices. One upside is I have a local zone that registers devices locally or I can manually create DNS entries for them. But is going to…

I just have one thing to say, Americans are so small minded. Just because USA blocks the distribution of the plans means nothing. The last I looked, the Internet pretty much reaches the majority of the planet. These plans have been out in the wild for years and available to anyone who wanted to look. We can first…

No way. I have the latest high end Yoga, tried a Sufrace Pro - none of them even come with in 70% of the quality of my 2014 Mac. That was 2014... the newer MBP and the (stupidly named) Magic Touchpad - they are double that in quality feel and functionality over that. The reason Apple owns the true creative market is…

yea, but that 10% still accounts for roughly 12 million computers in the USA alone. So go suffer on your windows withe the other 90 million of misery.

In sights also... peanut BUTTER - squashed nuts; head CHEESE - post-accidental roadkill in a roll; MILK of magnesia - got nothing there. If there is another thing this administration needs to be blamed for: poor wagging of the dog.

Wait - that same tech that weeks ago failed nearly 100% at recognizing anyone?
