Fact about solar cells you should know:
> The maximum theoretical efficiency calculated is 86.8% for a stack of an infinite number of cells, using the incoming concentrated sunlight radiation. When the incoming radiation comes only from an area of the sky the size of the sun, the efficiency limit drops to 68.7%.

I never realized solar cells were so inefficient. Just imagine the day we reach 95% efficiency.

That’s why I’m saying 5G mid and mmwave makes a difference

Why would anyone from any country be opposed to the USB-C mandate?

People really find anything to blame on Obama. The pandemic and reduction of car sales in 2020-2021 is why prices are currently up. Cash for clunkers did have an effect on used car prices a few years after it rolled out but we're talking around a decade ago.

Reply to comment by sassy-jassy in Google’s new Nest Wifi Pro mesh Wi-Fi looks good and works even better by dapperlemon
I've installed a few of these already for clients. They are glossy. Very glossy. There is a seam that runs along the side that you can't see in the pics. It's a bit more pronounced than I like. Honestly though, once you put them aside they blend in. No lights like the previous generations.

Even ignoring the data privacy, these don't support previous generations, so don't expect good support for these things if you want to mix and match models. Who knows if the next gen will support these.

that would limit the bandwidth available, not the bandwidth your phone is capable of using
It doesn't matter if your bucket can hold 1 gallon when there is only 1 quart available.

Reply to comment by LtRonKickarse in Belkin’s Continuity Camera iPhone MagSafe Laptop Mount is Terrible by giuliomagnifico
It’s been fine for me also. Not terrible, not great. My phone is naked, so I wonder if the writer of that article is experiencing too much weight once you factor in the case. My iPhone 14 Pro Max hasn’t fallen off the magnet at all in daily use. The only issue I’m having is the little fold out lip of the mount really limits what angle your display can be.
It’s overpriced, that’s for sure. I’ll dump mine as soon as someone comes out with a solid quality permanent mount that isn’t ugly.

I’ve been using this daily since Ventura came out and have not experienced any of these issues. That’s with iPhone 13 and 14 Pro Max versions, on a 14” MBP. Admittedly, it’s chonky enough to give more base weight than the old MBA he uses, but still. The main issue I’ve found is that I need the screen to be more vertical than normal, which is the opposite of what’s shown in the review. I also use an Apple MagSafe leather case, his is third party which might explain the issues he has with it not staying attached - it’s as tough to take off my phone as it was for him to remove from the lunchbox.
