MPow does a surprisingly good job, at least for headsets. Most of this stuff doesn't cost a lot of money, just thoughtful engineering.

One of the advantages startups have is higher risk tolerance than branded megacorporations. Data, customers, brand, employees, law suits, or cynically, human lives.

For a laptop, I see diminishing returns at 3200x1800. That's as low as I'm go. 4k is preferred and now common. I don't need more. Ironically, almost all phones I look at have more pixels than I need. Laptops are only recently

Microsoft should make this service free for open source (not just thought leaders), and compensate people otherwise. I should have a 0.01% equity in Open AI if they're using my stuff like this. Or they should do opt in.

I feel like there's an adequate market for a phone case with a high quality headphone jack, extended battery, sd slot, etc. It shouldn't more than double the thickness

She said this never happens. This happened all the time. It's just that she was the first scientist to take the honest route and do a retraction rather than letting it slip. I'm impressed with her integrity, but surprised by her

Seems like they should sell the government 50 billion dollars of stock at the lower of current prices and 90% of the stock price at the time they did the buy back. They'll have lost money on the buybacks. They'll stay in business

Does anyone know how I would find a graphics card or set of graphics cards for Ubuntu which supported 5 monitors well, one being 4k? I also don't want NVidia proprietary drivers due to bugs. They confuse something with monitors versus

Standard fee is a good idea. It works in Germany. Another idea is to have a portion of legal fees go to offering counsel. If you spend five million on lawyers, I get two and a half million for my lawyers. Really reduces the incentive for

That's definitely not the case. Most people on campus think of RMS as a socially awkward crusader for free software. He has a reputation for pushing himself into positions where he's not wanted (e.g. handing out protest fliers at

Most of the good stuff is designed for early childhood professionals, not parents. Parent stuff tends to be plausible sounding nonsense. It's when you have a group of a dozen kids in a preschool that you need stuff that works. Compa

If you can post a link to a good one I'd appreciate it. I've generally found expensive ones and bad ones. I've been looking for one that's cheap and good.

Why do you say "less than ethically"? Copyrights, patents, and trademarks have clear limits. An overly expansive theory of copyright would be stifling to innovation and free expression. It was sourced from someone who was liberal

Sure, but to whom? If your web site has data or works you uploaded but have no particular rights to, you can't prevent someone else from reusing it if you've given them access to download. Royalties are fine -- it depends on wher
