I'm bitterly disappointed with the shape (aspect ratio) of that front screen, if the one on the iPhone Ultra is likely to be similar. I got my hopes unrealistically high based on a…

I'm a bit slow on looking at this, but looks to me like it is for a full-electric conversion and not to a hybrid? Still very cool to see and I hope it goes well for him. The more o…

:) I was confused by the parent post too. Perhaps they mean that you see the neighbourhood before you even see the house. A little like the first impression of the house is made be…

But Veracrypt can be used for encryption of a volume, without creating a hidden volume. I assume it would often be used this way. The $5 wrench decryption technique would be even m…

I once expected an aftermarket industry to pop-up to hybridize old cars. Old rear-wheel drive manual cars sound easiest. Generator attached to the flywheel instead of the starter m…

My 1994 Toyota Celica had a vent beneath the steering column. It didn't have airbags, ABS braking, cruise control, electric seats, a 5th gear - it was missing all kinds of features…

Always loved this from The Big Short (movie): "In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency's executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and C…

I have visited very few Indian government sites, but the list does include indianvisaonline.gov.in. Some have been horribly confusing, but some haven't. I did manage to get my Visa…

I think you're right, if you're referring to the hardware. But there are also ever rising hardware requires for the built in apps and the rest of the operating system. An iPad whic…

Back before I got used to Google cancelling all of their projects, I was immensely excited, then disappointed by this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Ara

Ok, me too now. But you can’t have that, so maybe you could settle for a high-reving V8 in a tunnel?

Just in case, this video has more detail than you're likely to want on how the E:HEV works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLUIExAnNcE

Cider9986 answered for Android, so I'll throw out a suggestion for iPhone. Assistive Access on iPhone might be an option for people looking for something drastic. Turning it on is …

Hmm - I’m not an expert on this, but I thought the e:HEV system was quite different. More like an engine connected to a single very long gear (like top gear), to avoid converting f…

I don't like the headline for this article. You can Google the word 'disregard', and see results, but you just don't get any AI Overview.

I have been considering this since Apple Passwords implemented a way to export. I've just seen that the iPhone Passwords app has an export to another app you have installed on your…

Can I ask questions about your setup? I don't intend to grill you on it or pick it apart - I would like to go down this route further, but find myself gradually moving away from it…

This must vary a lot by location. In Singapore, the largest local bank, and three large overseas banks (Citibank, HSBC and Standard Chartered) all require my to be near my phone to…

This feels like a dumb question, but is there nothing to distinguish the USB 2 port from the USB 3 port? I think there is an alert to tell people if they are using a fast device in…

Do you mean that I am falling into that? Quite possible! Could you explain? I don’t see it yet. I guess I just think of it as where there isn’t an obvious correct answer, best not …

I find it very strange - I don’t really know what to make of it. I have the wallet shortcut in my control centre. If I use it while on the Home Screen, I end up in the wallet app w…

This one seems harder to get right to me. The cards are stacked so that the card further down the screen is the top of the stack (the card overlap indicating which is in front of w…

Well off-topic, but did you recently listen to Andy Stumpf on a podcast? Asking because of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon :)

I find this immensely frustrating. My work laptop (HP ZBook Studio 16 G11 - the current model) will will only charge from the USB C ports on the left side, not the right side. Unfo…

I think the GP was talking about the fact it is hard to find an EV that is bundled with a lot of invasive software. There's another post on this article asking for an EV that doesn…
