    How to say “I’m a psychopath,” without actually saying “I’m a psychopath.”

    As long as there is beef, there is leather. Beef isn’t going anywhere, so better to utilize what would otherwise go to waste. It’s more efficient use of resources, more respectful to the sacrifice of the animal, and results in better quality products. 

    I see that there is an industry-sponsored website that argues your exact point. What a coincidence! The website wants to convince us not to trouble our little heads on the subject leather. Still, leather is not merely a by-product of the beef industry. It is an integral part of the business. A significant proportion of the world’s population is vegetarian. I live in a place that is substantially vegetarian with a significant proportion of veganism (no dairy, no eggs etc.). Every bakery has eggless items on sale here. Vegetarianism and veganism are on the rise in the West, driven by health, environmental, and ethical reasons. On the other hand, meat eating increases as populations get better off, notably in China.

  • How to transfer files when AirDrop isn't working

    You don’t need to be connected to the same WiFi, or indeed any WiFi, to use AirDrop. Yes, it needs to be turned on, but it uses peer-to-peer WiFi transfer after negotiating via Bluetooth (which needs to be on). 
    Correct! I just transferred a file with someone today in a building where I wasn’t connected to the WiFi.

  • EU antitrust chief to meet with Tim Cook to discuss fines and regulation

    I always find it interesting that the EU only brings in American companies to try and regulate. The article didn't include who the "more Big Tech" companies are but I assume none of them are from the EU. It would be nice if the EU cartel of countries actually had something to offer to the world instead of simply taxing a company to make its payroll.
    A garbage tirade. Wilfully ignorant.

  • A bride-to-be discovers a reality-bending mistake in Apple's computational photography

    Sorry folks. This is totally fake. No way 'computational photography' produced this. 
    I know what you mean. It doesn't need computational photography to occur. This effect can happen on a 35mm film SRL with a horizontal focal plane shutter: if the subject moves as the shutter is travelling horizontally across to expose the film. I believe the iPhone has a rolling shutter — same thing.
