His network probably allows Wi-Fi calling and text messaging. So it would be switching.

You won't find an answer to your question because you don't seem willing to drop your alarmist attitude. There is just far too much space for 100k objects, let alone 10k to ever run the risk of collission. These satellites are all

I think much like alcohol it's very easy to dose in excess with cannabis. I'm not sure how many people recognize that cannabis is incredibly effective even at small doses. These days, I take one hit in the morning and then just mo

I've noticed that I have much more energy throughout the day when I get up as soon as my body wakes up. If I decide to sleep in because it's too early, I will usually have less energy. I have to assume getting up at the end of a

Consider me ignorant in this topic, but doesn't coal throughput beat out Solar or Wind? As far as I know you can always burn coal where as wind and solar are limited by external factors.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic but I genuinely have loved this plane ever since I heard of it. Primarily excited because I'm a huge fan of Honda, secondarily because the price-point, it is fairly affordable for what it

I think the obvious solution here is to store your contacts with the country code. I believe you can also append it to contacts after the fact and it will update the iMessage thread. If you travel or have contacts out of your country, I fin

Glad to see Apple is expanding NFC capabilities. One thing in particular that was exciting this last year was that all iPhone 8/X support Sony's contact payment standard used in Japan's transit system. Previously only the mod

Start by disabling javascript, then only whitelisting websites when necessary. Also consider whether certain content is even worth vieweing when confronted with an "enable JS" banner. Your web experience is now 1000% better.

Comcast modems also broadcast a second set of WiFi networks for other Xfinity customers and their mobile network. You are paying monthly to subsidize their 5G network. The additional power usage, however negligible, is additionally insult

I would lean towards no. I've seen state research based on flimsier data. In this case, infant mortality which has been going down historically could be connected to anything. Perhaps carbon levels in the atmosphere were the cause.

I'm sure that California lost even more than 1 million to diaspora, but the loss was offset by new arrivals. I'm also sure the number of illegal aliens has increased significantly but there doesn't seem to be anyone keeping t

The 60kWh models with 75kWh battery packs were only sold for a brief period of time, I think their logic was that it cost less to produce a single battery pack for both the 60 and 75. They were identical with the exception of the software l

It'd be easier to compromise an engineer with data they have already gathered than to force Apple to comply with such an order from the top down. Anarchy is in Apple's DNA, and I have to believe there are still a few of the old gu

I would take anything Rossman says with a grain of salt, he clearly has a personal vendetta against Apple. Further, Apple products are almost entirely recyclable, up to and including the packaging. As long as they are properly disposed of,

Space is big, we won't be running into any issues with satellite collisions since they can be positioned in three-dimensions and there is a lot of space. Operational satellites are not considered space-junk since they typically have pr

Does Linus not realize that Intel processors also have hardware assisted SHA? Geekbench may not be the best tool for determining the power of a processor, but at the least it gives you a general idea of power across devices in a consistent

A sudden loss of power steering can be very dangerous. Imagine you are on the inside left turning lane, an unexpected power steering failure could cause you to drive into the vehicle turning on the outside lane because your turning radius i

That is still an avoidable error. You shouldn't be adding parts without understanding how they work or how they will affect your circuit as a whole.

Yes, my assumption was the acronym STEM existed because in university, many of the core classes are shared in STEM fields. I did not consider the intersection of those fields being the real idea. I suppose that in that case, STEAM makes sen

I think it's quite obvious that Apple's approach is better. What exactly was the net gain for Android users by not being able to block permissions until 5.0? Not to mention the Android OS itself just being a data mining platform f

Your list does basically nothing for Google tracking domains. Here is mine: (note that this blocks recaptcha which a lot of websites are now using for login annoyingly). I add entries for IPv4 and IPv6 (0.0.0.0 and ::1 respectively).
