Google is right to attack Apple on this front. My mother has a 16G iPhone, no desktop computer, and no broadband at her home. This is our procedure for getting pictures off her iPhone.
Talk about jumping through hoops.
I collaborated with Dr. Hugh Harvey to build this Chrome extension. It changes words and phrases on news articles about the UK’s NHS budget crisis to highlight the issue of drastic underfunding.
Some backstory from the description,
The NHS is undergoing the largest chronic underfunding period in its 70 year history. The Department of Health (and thus the media) tend to blame this on hospitals and staff, as if it were their fault. In reality there simply isnāt enough money provided by the Treasury to provide the services that are needed, with staff overstretched, waiting lists increasing and patient care suffering in quality.
As a US citizen, I don’t really have any skin in this game. But from my experience doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers on the “front lines” do their level best, with the resources available, to provide the best care to as many patients as possible.
We got an indoor Nest Cam last year as a baby monitor. It worked great until it completely stopped working.
Anyway, the problem I see with Nest cam Outdoor is that power is delivered via an outdoor electrical socket. It seems like someone could easily disable it by walking along the wall, face turned opposite the camera, and simply unplugging it.
I’ve said this before, but what I’d really like to see from Tesla is a pickup truck. It seems like the perfect fit. Tesla’s vehicles have lots of torque, which is desirable in a pickup. And just think of all the work trucks used by small businesses that are only driven within a small radius.
You can be sure that 401(k) advisors already have a plan to continue concealing costs and conflicts of interest from their customers.
Wow. As a new homeowner, I’ve been reading a bit on what’s new in home automation, smart bulbs, thermostats, etc. But news like this really makes me hesitant.
At this stage, I don’t want any appliance in my home that isn’t fully functional without an internet connection.
It’s hard to get excited about a new kindle when my current one stopped working for no good reason.
My kindle was packed for moving for a few months, during which time it missed a critical software update. As a result, it can no longer connect to Amazon to download new books or software updates.
I doubt IFTTT has nefarious intent here. It seems to just be a badly written ToS. Still, it’s a shame that IFTTT is dropping channels that don’t move to the new API.
Two gems from the summary:
Workers with facial hair were less likely to be colonized with Staph- ylococcus aureus (41.2% vs 52.6%, P 1ā4 0.02) and meticillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (2.0% vs 7.0%, P 1ā4 0.01).
And,
Overall, colonization is similar in male healthcare workers with and without facial hair; however, certain bacterial species were more prevalent in workers without facial hair.
