That assessment highly depends on your region I assume. They are far from 7 day shipping for me. In fact, it's the same 2-3 days as Amazon for non-Prime customers here. Speaking of…

This is certainly true in the beginning of a game. Players claim to do this to warm up. However, in a busy confrontation there is no reason to spam any actions that are not directl…

They added insult to injury to the 2.0 upgrade by releasing promo material (supposedly screenshots) [0] that looked exactly like what fans wanted from them. Turned out, those were …

According to an help article by Apple [1], if you activate wifi or bluetooth during airplane mode, it will remember that and not disable those when you use airplane mode again. I w…

Although this is by far not the first landing of SpaceX boosters I've seen, this looked like scifi to me even in 2024.

Also, the latest release is nearly a year old. Is this correct? There have been quite a few commits since then. However, the pipeline seems to be broken and no longer(?) produces b…

>- opening a file that does not work does nothing, you don't know what's happening, is the file corrupted, is the codec not supported ?? You could open the console to see errors. h…

Hold shift while dropping the file to enqueue it. At least on macOS that works.

Phones are ubiquitous in every country I've spent a reasonable amount of time so far. If my phone breaks I can just walk into a store and get a new one. The sensor will transfer it…

I'm a T1 diabetic and get my blood glucose values through my phone, bluetooth even. So disabling bluetooth as mitigation is not an option and the phone is crucial. The vendor doesn…

HFCS is available in ratios with up to 90% fructose. Granted, I don't know what the average is in the food industry. But like other commenters said, it's mostly about the absolute …

It's unfortunate naming similar to "fat". Most fruits are really not that high in fructose, compared to stuff like high-fructose corn syrup (well, it's in the name) that's widely a…

Thanks for your insights. At the end it's a very personal thing that varies a lot among people. Your statement about the setting is also very much true for me. I do work better in …

Yes as per the article I'm luckily an outlier. :) But this is a very unfortunate situation especially in combination with the stopped sale of physical cards. I still have an old PA…

As a test I just successfully charged my Suica in my iPhone (card was issued in 2019) with my EU-issued Visa (issued 2021) through Apple Pay. Is there maybe some another condition …

Had a similar experience during my Bachelors thesis. I was adding new functionality to an existing code inspection framework and was also supposed to add a graphical interface with…

As a native German speaker, I have a very similar problem with Japanese. In Japanese it is possible (and popular, I'd say) to describe an object before mentioning what you are desc…

>It was actually eliminating carbs from the diet. Yes, in the past, keto diet was the main (and the only) way to treat diabetes. Except it didn't work. People died. Meanwhile, toda…

I'm afraid but this is a very simplistic view and not how it actually works. You cannot keep your blood sugar stable by eliminating intake of carbohydrate. Something every diabetic…
