This could 100% be done in software -- it's already adjusting the wheel speed a thousand times a second, it would be trivial to add some haptic oscillation.

This is absolutely the case. When Onewheels were new they were mostly ridden by people who came from other boardsports. They knew the danger and treated them with the due respect, including taking the time to learn how to properly operate them.

In the last couple of years they've been wholesale adopted by techies who treat them like toys. The consequences are inevitable.

That caught my eye as well. If I wanted to buy some agricultural land in my state and convert it to industrial manufacturing, I would be mired in red tape for years.

Apparently it works with Find My as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they started rolling out premium features that take more bandwidth once everybody's free two years expires.

Job skill is relative. I'm sure everyone's job would be considered "low skill" to some people.

And I returned mine after learning that all the press about it not requiring a Facebook account wasn't actually accurate until today. Kind of a coincidence that the price went up $100 right before this went through.

Or putting the power button back on the top. Or going back to the iPhone 5's round volume buttons.

Both the placement and shape of the buttons leads to accidental presses and the inability to easily identify them by feel. Almost anything would be an improvement.

I do kind of wonder how much the new repair-friendly Apple has to do with the fact that they lose basically the entire laptop's margin every time they have to replace a battery under warranty.

MIL-SPEC just means it conforms to a spec. Whether that means "rugged" or just "standardized" really depends on why and when the spec was written.

I've managed production of a number of "MIL-SPEC" parts over the years. Usually it just meant documentation and traceability.

I think real justice would include an absolutely enormous fine to the company for tying up 20 years of court resources over a case they were clearly wrong about.

The plaintiff may not have incurred any legal costs, but the railway certainly cost the court a lot of money over the years.

> money, interests, brand loyalty, level of education, people they meet, life rhythm, etc

All of this is widely available from your browsing history and social media. And every marketing database on earth already has your income level.

I like to bring this up whenever FlightRadar24 is mentioned.

They heavily censor their feed. Not only for military aircraft, but they also have a service where you can pay to have your aircraft hidden by the system.

Personally my beef with them is that they started as a paid app, then transitioned to a subscription model and left everyone who bought the app hanging.

> I only get notifications on my watch

This worked really well for me. My phone is always silent/DND, but I get notifications on my watch. If I want to stop getting notifications, I just take off my watch.

I've uninstalled a number of apps for doing that. Once they start mixing spam with relevant notifications -- especially if it's an app that depends on relevant notifications -- I'm out.

Your description of that deal doesn't really add up. If you're putting down $300 and paying $33/month, that's just buying a phone.

Micron Computers had a fantastic website, with a no-frills configurator that let you customize nearly every component. They also offered solid upgrades to sound and video cards, and even Trinitron monitors.

They were like an unpretentious Falcon Northwest.

This is literally just a gun strapped to an RC toy. It has about as much combat utility as a Roomba with a knife on it.

Grad student: Look guys I built a little plane

I assume it's just people being impatient. Using a lower powered charger is arguably better for battery longevity.

It's based on news articles, so I've found it helpful in the final stages to switch from guessing words with similar meanings to guessing words you might see together in a headline. For example if you've got "rescued" you might go in the direction of "mountain" or "accident" rather than "assisted," "helped" etc.

But also I stopped playing because it wasn't fun anymore.

It's also not unheard of to enter a valid phone number and get a message that the number has been used too many times and is no longer valid for 2FA.

I'm not sure why people keep asking about this -- it was a transparently desperate ploy by the defendant to portray themselves as victims, and it didn't work.

You must be thinking of another brand. Apple has never sold a Cinema Display with a TN panel, and the later ones were LED backlit.

If all you want is a low-resolution monitor with good color calibration you can pick up an old Cinema Display for a couple hundred bucks that will do the same thing.

I think those are all good ideas. Minimalist design trends have nothing to do with generational taste, and everything to do with practicality. As technology became more ubiquitous we had to design for less technically-literate people, period. Simplicity, if nothing else, generally makes it harder for people to get in trouble with the UI. It definitely went too far, but the inspiration was for the most part usability, not aesthetics.

If that qualifies as top 1% and Vimeo is hitting people up for $3000+/year, they must be in utterly dire financial straits.

Which is really sad, as they've generally been the only nominally-competitive youtube alternative.

Every college class I had that taught something worth knowing ended with a test that allowed access to any notes you wanted, as the point was to demonstrate that you had internalized concepts, not just memorized facts.

Another article I found clarified that this was an induction style micro earpiece (which google helpfully suggested suffixing with "for cheating") that had apparently been inserted by an ENT due to its size and depth in the ear canal. No actual surgery involved.

Since this is an incredibly common and mundane method of cheating I'd have to say you're right, the headline is entirely clickbait.

This is exactly the concern I had when people started donating DJI drones en masse to Ukraine. They're not a trustworthy platform, and they're owned by Russia's principal ally.

> Aesthetics shouldn’t trump usability

It's true, and it really shouldn't be as controversial an opinion as it apparently is.
