The Australian Liberal Party (basically our version of conservative republicans) proposed the National Energy Guarantee policy in 2017, which inevitably failed due to the media and…

The innovation curve doesn’t always reward the innovators. It pays to let others test the waters before you.

PQE is probably a good catalyst for change here. It could easily have become a ‘forever protocol’ like IPv4, but there’s a point where maintaining two competing standards becomes o…

The difference is that your body doesn’t make antiviral drugs. It does make antibodies after it has been trained to do so with a vaccine.

MacBook Neo is a clear business win. Cheap, available, consistent, works with standard Jamf MDM, and trivial warranty repairs/replacemnts. Most small to medium enterprises run off …

Vaccines can be singled out as a specific type of prophylaxis. The distinction is that a vaccine will train your immune system to actively destroy the foreign body, while a prophyl…

I should qualify that the vast majority of braided stuff I have accumulated over the years is junk. thats over ten years products freebies, packs of 3 bought on the cheap, a few ‘f…

I went down the rabbit hole of cable testers, and concluded that that thicker and stiffer almost always meant ‘better’ support for higher speed and charge rates. Anything braided i…

As much as I would like pricing APIs as well, the economics don’t add up for retail, and it would effectively lead to a scalper’s market. A regular Joe consumer shouldn’t have to l…

Up until the 90’s airline in flight entertainment use stethoscope style earphones. My dad used to steal them for his workshop as a way to hear for leaks in various parts. Our ears …

+1 to thermal imager. I use mine to locate hot wires, heating and cooling gaps in the roof and around windows, car maintenance, the pizza oven, and its even sensitive enough to ‘se…
