  • The Google Gemini app for Android is now available in the UK and EU - GSMArena.com news

  • I have the yellow box, fully assembled, sitting on my shelf, staring at me. I've had it for a month. I still have four smart things hubs running everything. I'm a little worried my system won't reach without all the back hauling those are doing.

    Took time off this week. Might try to at least get the software installed.

  • Trump Boasted About Sex With Stormy in Tahoe, Athlete Says

  • Any headline that runs with "(figure) says" is an automatic skip for me, but athlete says is about as bad as it gets. That's right up there with deckhand says or house painter says.

  • I don't know if it'll hit everything, and my use case is significantly different to yours, but Tuxedo is a pretty attractive option to me. I do want a serious dgpu, so my shopping list is very different to yours. Nonetheless, the keyboard and ports look good to me.

  • Nintendo reveals that the new Mario game will have a trans character

  • Ah, That makes more sense. Character creation would help a lot with this issue.

  • That's great, but, I mean, it's Mario. How are we supposed to know?

    I haven't played Mario in a while. It seems like, given the general art style, in order to make it obvious enough to notice, they'd have to flirt with stereotyping.

    I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking it.

  • Pretty snappy. I've been frustrated with my current app, wunderground. A million years ago, they were great.

  • Gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure above WHO standards – study

  • Yeah. I still want an induction stove, but this doesn't look good.

  • I just spent almost two weeks on vacation in an apartment with an induction stove. I've had gas my whole life. I was impressed. It heated the pans faster and more evenly, the temperature was more tuneable and it was easy to clean.

    While standard resistive stoves do get those rings, the inductive one almost certainly wouldn't, because the glass only gets heated by the pan, rather than the other way around.

    The only difficulty was the Samsung UX. It was a bit of a chore to get the pan centered on the coil, and there was insufficient feedback when you got it right or wrong and if it wasn't in the right place it just wouldn't work. I got used to it, but I'd have liked some better markings, and an LED ring that would show when it was on. It also didn't automatically heat the pan quickly on startup. You had to set it to 9, then back off, otherwise it would heat the pan on a duty cycle.

    If I were to upgrade my kitchen, I'd absolutely go with induction. However, even beyond my usual research, I'd make damn sure I got the best option on this. I love cooking too much to screw it up.

  • What are your go-to YouTube channels to fulfill your Tom Scott itch now days?

    Jump

  • I was going to edit my other response but I'll just make a new one so OP sees it.

    Calum Raasay , out of Scotland, makes some outstanding historo-scientific videos. He travels around quite a bit too.

    Another that I haven't seen mentioned is Our Own Devices , he actually used to write for Simon Whistler. Most of his videos are shot in-studio, like Technology Connections and Joe Scott, but he also ventures out into the field for special projects. It's a similar mix to what you'd see on Forgotten Weapons.

    Jump

  • That's a persistent itch.

    Here are two channels I think Tom's viewers would appreciate.

    Alexis Dahl makes interesting videos on history, science and life in Michigan.

    The Tim Traveller makes ridiculous, yet strangely informative videos about locations all over Europe.

    Both channels consistently provide answers to questions I hadn't thought to ask. Both do it with a genuine sense of wonder and a lot of heart.
