Neither is trashing the climate with pointlessly big vehicles just to compensate for whatever insecurities they have. We need to either tax or regulate these stupid vehicles back to a reasonable and safe size.
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
Technically, but it was useless for any of the things that we use in smart phones. It had terrible web browsing, no GPS. Very few apps outside of games. T9 typing (which should have disqualified it in the first place). It was a camera phone that they tried to upsell as a smartphone and a big part of why Nokia lost so much market to Apple and later Android.
iPhone had gps and mapping and really nice full website browsing, plus bigger storage and music (since we all wanted iPod phones before then).
I’d argue one of the bigger factors in its success was that it had an unlimited data plan (which I never should have let go of).
The N75 may have had Bluetooth, the OS, and a browser, but lacked the UI to use it. It was a camera phone marketed as a smartphone because it launched right after the first iPhone.
Nokia N75. It was an upgrade from a Sony Ericsson hand-me-down after my invincible Nokia was thrown out of the window of my car as it was being stolen (I called it and the thief answered… long story).
The N75 had a 2mp camera and MP3 playing, but tiny storage and I got a free iPod (the touch wheel one) with a college powebook around the same time. I used the N75 online once, to locate a restaurant one time, and it probably cost my $3-5 since I had no data plan.
This was a right before the iPhone 3G would make those affordable and launch the App Store. I bought that for my wife and we never went back.
Just get a salaried job, where you can still get paid while not working, in exchange for working 70 hour weeks (30 hours for free) when an impossible deadline is set.
There are really charging curves that should be followed to avoid damaging the cells.
You want to charge up to a certain voltage at a current (related to the battery capacity I believe) and when the cutoff voltage is hit, you switch to constant voltage (the max voltage of the cell) and then slowly drop the amperage as the battery is topped off.
I’m not sure about your cells, but some LiFe are 95-98% full at 3.45-3.5 volts, but the problem is that the voltage curve is really flat from 40-50% charged up to 95%. So you need really accurate measurement if you want to charge to 95%. The last 3-5% is when the battery ramps up to 3.65v and really is the riskiest part of the charge. It’s also the highest wear part of the battery use, if you can avoid charging it all the way up to that your cells will last much longer.
It’s just that it’s really tricky to charge the final bit because the middle 80% is such a flat voltage curve. They have a 1000x life when they’re taken care of.
VW and Porsche engines area really oil cooled. They have oil cooling radiators inside fan shrouds with thermal expansion baffles that open when it gets hot and close to prevent overcooling in winter.
They didn’t really overheat very often of all the shroud and engine compartment seals were in place and the baffles were in good working order.
The reason you can often go start up an ancient air cooled engine is mainly that they don’t have any water pumps (and water) to sit in them and rust up. That any that there’s no crazy fuel injectors or fancy electrical systems to fail. Just a Carb and distributor to clean/adjust.

This is a side effect of doing lots of tiny websites , microcontroller code and mini web apps for under budgeted marketing projects with constantly changing designs and requirements that don’t need to last too long.
None of them are interesting in practice, but the idea of two versions of a movie being filmed at once sounds like it could be cool. And if successful, would be almost twice as profitable as one.
People keep mentioning that lightings sockets are built to wear out, but I have iPhone 5S and 5C (the really old color) phones that are still working perfectly. Cleaning lint out occasionally is the only irritant I’ve had with these connectors.
I know it’s anecdotal, but between my family and our years of devices, and that my MacBook Pro with USB-C charging is the most finicky of all my devices, I’m a disappointed by the switch from Lightning connectors. Time will tell though I suppose.
As long as my IR Time of Flight rangefinder reliably measures a dude standing in front of an exhibit, even when sun is coming in the window (I know), I don’t care how many worlds there are.
Safari has reader mode (mobile and desktop) and it’s the best way to read most news and recipe sites. Except the ones doing stupid shit to obfuscate it anyways.
