> ”Adding “running” to the list of things that Google engineers apparently don’t do.” Not with a phone, no. Why would you take your phone with you when you run? It’s bulky and anno…

I’m not talking about sterilizing land. Just that salt is not a desirable ingredient in fertilizer. Most plants will not thrive in salty soil, even if it doesn’t kill them.

Absolutely. So the ideal solution would be to return it to whence it came, but presumably that’s easier said than done if they’re going to all this trouble to bury it in a plastic …

> ”It may have a short-term change in the local environment, but long term it's fertilizer.” The fish would make for great fertilizer, but the salt would not. High salt concentrati…

Instead of attaching the motor bracket with a binder clip, consider sticking it down with some sort of removable adhesive? 3M command strips should be very strong/secure, while als…

> "you won't find spots on the lower levels, ... the "x spots open" indicators are lying" A simpler and cheaper solution would be to fix those availability signs. Surely this is no…

Yes, it doesn't make a lot of sense if you can't pull up close to the terminal and leave your car there for the robot to park. But I assume this is just a prototype/trial of the ro…

My favourite by far is Proposal F - Jan Robert Dünnweller. A sort of retro-modern design with a more restricted use of colour, like you suggest. This one really pops and is quite u…

I look forward to seeing how Kraft Heinz brands will be integrated into future Star Wars titles. The Mandalorian could turn out to be a fan of Kraft Dinner, for example, and prepar…

Apple’s head office for all of Europe is located in Cork, Ireland. They are not averse to building offices in places you might not expect. It’s not some “paper HQ” for tax purposes…

As a “night sky enthusiast”, as opposed to a real astronomer, Starlink and other satellites do not bother me much. There’s certainly more of them than there used to be, but the sat…

Wanaka, in the South Island of New Zealand, still has pretty good views of the night sky. You can see an awful lot more stars than you can from major cities. But even here it’s und…

I bought the original iPad 2 on the day it was released (which was just after the Fukushima earthquake in 2011). Still have it. Still use it occasionally to play retro iOS games. S…

Elon Musk himself used to be quite anti-AI, often saying that it was an “existential risk to humanity” or more dangerous than nuclear weapons. He seems to have changed his mind now…

> ”the only remaining conclusion is that some car manufacturers don’t have AI yet.” This suggests the supply of AI is too limited, and there isn’t enough AI to go around. Solution:…

Just because something is written in T&Cs doesn’t make it okay. Consumer laws have precedence over T&Cs.

> ”Revocation should come with full refunds.” Of course it should. If Sony are not doing that then it sounds like grounds for a class action? I remember when Google shut down Stadi…

China is adding 10 Australias worth of new solar generation every single year (315 GW of new solar installed just in 2025 alone). Half of all the entire world’s solar is deployed i…

OK. But it's essentially the same concept. Just that auto hold will go a step further and apply the park brake to hold the car in position indefinitely rather than just for a few s…
