we dont use glass bottles anymore because of the increased shipping weight and how fragile glass is. plastic definitely needs to be replaced but going back to glass for most things that need to be shipped just isnt the way we need to go

China SAID they cured diabetes. Just because someone says something doesnt make it true. They also only tested this on a single person.

If others can reproduce their work than that would be not only beneficial to mankind but reduce a huge finiancial burden of the healthcare industry.Once again its lets see if others can reproduce the work

i agree that there is no need to make devices thinner but i think that companies themselves have finally realized that they cant make devices really any thinner without some serious compromises in thermals, battery life, or both

i personally wouldn't mind shoving even more battery in the area where the speaker is or adding more heat sink especially on the higher end ones

if epic wants to gain market share and actually be competitive with steam they are not going to win users over with just free games. the steam client has so many nice features that work fairly well most of the time while epic to the best of my knowledge (havent checked recently) still doesnt have a shopping cart despite users very vocally asking for it for a long time.

epic needs to put more money into their software not exclusives

I highly recommend when buying or setting up a tv looking to see if HDTVTest on youtube has a review of it. He really does a good job of going in to the effects of certain tv settings has on the picture. Be forewarned that he is in the UK so TV model numbers wont line up a lot of the time but with a little digging you can find your model that corresponds to his.

If i had to take a guess i think this person might be referring to an enlarged/inflamed prostate.

Fresh coffee is BREWED at 90-95C. You shouldnt SERVE coffee anywhere near that hot. coffee can still be served hot but not literally scalding, and if you want to have a hot cup of coffee a little later get an insulated cup/thermos. there are quite a lot nowadays that keep liquids quite hot for hours

i am legitimately shocked that he has not been sacked with all the missteps that he has been at the helm for. i understand he would get a nice golden parachute but i think a wet piece of bread would be a better CEO than him

Amazons search as you are aware has been notoriously bad for many many years at this point. i find that the diskprices website is very helpful when searching for hard drives on amazon. https://diskprices.com/

If you dont want to use amazon https://www.pcpartpicker.com has a good section to search and compare hard drive sizes/pricing

Yeah I am definitely not a fan of Intel/AMD/and even Nvidia who will completely push power to stupid levels just to get less than an extra 10% performance

Gamers Nexus did a video earlier this year comparing the 7950x at different eco modes and they found that putting the 7950x at a 105 watt eco made drop the performance around 5% but shaved almost 100 watts off of power. heres the link to the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6aKQ-eBFk0

I know why these companies do it and im lucky electricity isnt too expensive in my area but i rather shave 100 + watts of heat being dumped into my room (especially in the summer months)

Cake is to my knowledge a successor to fq codel. here are some helpful links

Yattee might be something to look into. https://github.com/yattee/yattee

Personally i would higher consider the galaxy fold over the pixel fold. i remember when samsung released their first foldable phone it was a very expensive trainwreck and they are now at a point where i here they are decent

i would not for the life of me trust google with a 1st attempt at any hardware implementation. especially with one that will be pretty expensive

i cant understand that. im probably going to be getting a new phone in about a year (still on my S9) and i like some of the features of the galaxy ultra or the iphone pro max but i do not need a phablet sized phone.

to be honest if they really want to increase the size of the battery a bit they could make the phones just a little thicker. i hate the whole camera notch sticking out thing so how about we just make the phones a little thicker and remove the camera notch entirely

Any thought about possibly allowing the option to self host the app sometime in the future ? That would be wonderful at least to me

In the US the department of energy is having a challenge to heatpump manufacturers to manufacture a heatpump that will work all the way down to -20F (-29C).

Both Trane and York have prototype models that meet this requirement and should be on sale in less than 2 years

Here is an article discussing it https://electrek.co/2022/12/26/us-companies-are-producing-he...

If youre into horror you should take a look at Hellraiser. Good god is that a noisy film. I know there are a lot of purists when it comes to film grain but that film needs some denoising applied

There decline has nothing to do with COVID. They reaped in a quite a large sum of money during COVID, especially when a great deal were staying at home and they didnt want to or couldnt go to a local store

So on amazon in the US this thing is $380. Im sorry but for $380 I expect a little better than a dual core and 2GB of memory

I can get an Asus ax-86u for $250 with a quad core (but only 1GB of memory-an advantage for the omnia i admit) and flash Asus-merlin and save $130. Or i can go to aliexpress and pick up a SBC with a celeron and 4 intel 2.5 gb nics, purchase my own RAM/wifi card, and install open-wrt myself and still save about $100.

If you have any interest in running an open-wrt router you are most likely more than able to build one for yourself and save quite a bit of money

"this isnt a thing where you want side effects"

ok, name me 1 medical procedure or medication that has no chance of side effects in all people.

For instance with regards to medical procedure a colonoscopy is a pretty routine procedure. However if you've ever had one then will make you sign a form that you accept the possible risks and one of those is that there is a small chance that something tears and you bleed out. the pros of getting one far outweigh the cons however

I find the all or nothing argument quite moronic in just about everything i can think of.
