The phone has a proximity sensor to turn off the touch screen. "Capacitive touch screens are prone to phantom presses from contact or near-contact with the cheek or ear and sweat can build up over the course of a conversation."

I just use Keepass and sneaker net. I have a token generator for the bank though I really don't know if that is foolproof tech. I don't get this automatic syncing. You are not supposed to be changing your passwords periodically. Just sync manually.

What? We learned the effects are terrible. Affecting eyesight already is bad enough. (Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome) Then there is the bone loss. Maybe I should have stated "what new are we learning with the ISS."

I "get" the valley of Mars exploration. However today's ARS also covered the ISS and I never understood th value of that project. We know the effect of low gravity and it isn't good.

Do you read the news? Here is a four letter word just for you: DOGE

Could it be campaign contributions?

Yeah it is bloated but building new silos apparently wasn't in the budget for this program. So the missiles aren't totally to blame. Most arms control experts say the land based element of the triad should be elimited. They need to be launched in a hurry before the supposed incoming missiles...

He literally asked for Georgia to find votes, he led an insurrection, yet won the popular vote. Barely but still.

Just so you know, money isn't the reason people chose Android. Rather it is freedom.

Basically a Streisand effect. And a no win situation. There is a bit of irony here in that I never heard of ClothOff until this article was posted. I suppose I could have Googled to find it but I don't get fake nudes. At one time I considered getting a Telegram account since there is a lot...

It all comes down to reliability as far as I am concerned. I am not trying to stream to YouTube. I need a message to go out with 100% reliability. The thing with connectivity is the terrestrial cellular vendors have become pretty aggressive with expanding coverage. I find myself using my phone...

It is probably dumb of me to reply to a down voted post, but I am on Garmin Iridium for $11 a month. It has never failed me. I was originally a Spot customer which used Global Star. One remote trip the damn service didn't work. Back then GlobalStar was a one-way system. I dumped the service...

For five days I have heard social media is bad. We need to touch grass. Did something change?

https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium So is when this project removes the hidden value of the "free" browser? I mean besides the default search engine.

I read PDFs on mine. If the text doesn't flow, you need a big high res screen. Even more so with Greek symbols. Period end of story. Why the Android tablet people never figured that out is beyond me. Andrew listed the only things that remotely interested me, mostly the file system. "There are...

My point is most of this work is robotic. It can and is done on shore, but not in Chinese volume. It is just a matter of scale. Every part of the chain is done domestically. I can't speak for the passive components being built domestically.

Much of the smartphone construction chain could be done in the US. Working backwards, the PCB can be populated with pick and place machines. (Get out your ear plugs.) The PCBs can be made in the US. Chip packaging is woefully insufficient in the US. It is done in Asia and especially the ROK...

My unpaid informant, Bill Maher, says much of the porn looks like rape. That could be harmful. I suppose a rating system could be implemented but if the rape-like sex requires verification, we are back to the same problem.

UUCEUA is not as catchy as FAFO.
