Yes, I think that is actually great idea and should be rolled out to everybody! I hate using messenger but some people I communicate with still prefer it. If this is rolled out, they will surely move to other platforms.

That is a very cool project and makes perfect sense. Also I've just realized I am still using my Kindle 3 (the one with keyboard) to read books and it would feel strange to repurpose it to just display screenshots.

But where is the BLOCKCHAIN?! Anyhow, I wonder what problem does this actually solve. Almost all the money I spend is spent cash-less. Does this somehow allow to bypass Visa/Mastercard and thus be cheaper for merchant? What is the diff

So we'll see at least 1-2 years of Apple Silicon being at least one node ahead of competition. I am curious for how long will be Apple able to pull this lead off, and what the perf/watt will look like when (if?) AMD has node parit

The problem is scale and availability of materials to make batteries. Right now almost all the batteries are produced for and used in electric cars, however electric cars only make around 10% of all the cars consumed. Now you wanna store en

Olkiluoto EPR reactor in Finland was connected to the grid in March this year. There are 2 more EPRs in construction, in France and UK. So yes, there were new power plants coming online, but after budget overruns and missed timelines. Anywa

Gave me smile because I have a little anecdote that happened recently. My friend showed up for a B-day party, and after some time invited me and few other friends to have a look at his new car. I was thinking he must have gotten a raise at

I've used Windows almost exclusively until the end of 2021, when I replaced it with Macbook Air with M1 processor, so I am very aware of Windows vs. MacOS situation. To be honest, I like windows management on Windows better than MacOS,

Speaking about M1 laptop here, yes, the port selection is poor, however the laptop is so good that I will choose it any moment over my Lenovo with many ports. YMMV I guess.

Thanks for the tip. While the plugin from Google never failed for me during file transfer, it's incredibly limited! I was very surprised that that is absolutely NO macOS-Android compatibility out-of-the-box when I got a Mac recently.

Apart from written in the article, my 2 cents: - cannot invert scrolling just for mouse (I use normal mouse with wheel, not apple mouse) -> I have an app for that - cannot connect Mac to a low dpi screen (like 1080p) without macOS lookin

My opinion: M1 gives you (speaking about laptops here): thin and light, very powerful device that runs very cool, a combo that you don't get anywhere else for less money. Frankly it's hard to get close for ANY money. You also get

Samsung is not that much behind, recent nVidia GPUs and Qualcomm CPUs are manufactured by Samsung (8N and 4nm, whatever those mean anyway). While density and perf/watt is worse than TSMC, it's THE competitor for TSMC.

Even though I don't like Intel, I hope they'll have success, as competition is always good - it's apparent looking at what AMD did recently. And Alder Lake seems to be very good, at least from performance standpoint. That bei

Thanks for this. I started to write too long comment about how I feel scheduling my life would not work for me, but that doesn't add anything to the discussion. I've just texted an old friend. And I think I'll set up some yea
