NeoRuler and M-Cube review: Smarter, iPhone-connected precision measuring
I was sent the NeoRuler caliper kit for review a while back. If you deal with scales, it's a godsend. However, if you don't, it's way overpriced for a caliper. You can get a Mitutoyo digital caliper for less money and it has a better claimed accuracy (+/- 0.001" vs +/- 0.004" for the NeoRuler). If you are not dealing with scales, the ruler function is really not all that useful vs a plane-Jane ruler.

US senators question big tech, including Apple, on the reason behind inauguration donation...
DAalseth said:They’re called bribes.
Trump must have gotten $10-$20 mil by now. The inauguration will cost a couple, the rest will go in his pocket. Simple as that. He did the same thing for his first inauguration.Try $170m and it's expected to go to $200m when it's all counted, according to the AP. Supposedly leftover funds will be used for his presidential library but we'll see how that pans out. Should be noted that he raised $107m for his first term while Biden raised $62m for his.Also I suspect these are less bribes and more ransoms to keep Trump from targeting them.

How to make sure you get an iPhone, instead of a swapped Android fake
They sell them in the open on Aliexpress and other marketplaces. They also sell fake retail boxes for iPhones. Really need to look extremely closely to see if the seal is overlaid with a new one these days. Sad that there is a cottage industry springing up to provide products to help others defraud buyers.Mike Wuerthele said:
Even before the iPhone shipped, there were images of faked Apple product security seals in the wild. We suspect it was this, and interception somewhere in the shipment stream. We're confident Apple shipped an iPhone. We're less confident about all the steps in between.
