    Dang. Looks awesome. Especially dig the Aston Martin example. 

    Was looking at an X5, but may have to go for one of these bad boys instead.
    If you were looking at an X5, I'm not sure an AM is in your price range.

    I still wonder why Google even cares about this and then why it’s pushing so hard. I don’t trust Google. 
    Marketing? So that they look like the hero fighting against big bad Apple and winning. GG also mentioned in the other thread that carriers might be turning to them for the server requirements of E2EE, so that'd be worth a fair bit.
    The "server requirements of E2EE" are basically to route messages. If the devices sending and receiving aren't handling all the encryption/decryption themselves, it's not E2EE.

  • Apple considers $2B Apple TV+ streaming rights grab for Formula 1

    F1 is available now as it’s own streaming service.  I’ve considered getting it. So this “deal” could mean that eventually the only place to get F1 would be on Apple ??    Not sure i like that. 
    Well, this is a streaming deal. My guess is that Sky would retain the broadcast rights they have now, which likely means you could still watch it on ESPN (in the US), but probably not streamed on ESPN.

  • Nearly every iPhone 15 & iPhone 15 Pro detail spilled by new leak

    Titanium looks great — when it’s new. But its surface hardness is poor, making Ti a scratch magnet. Hardness can be improved by applying a suitable coating, such as the black DLC on my Series 5 Apple Watch, which still looks new. But then, of course, it also looks like any other black finished metal.
    Depends on what Titanium alloy they are using. For example, grade 2 Ti alloy is relatively soft but grade 5 and grade 23 (medical grade) are much harder than grade 2.

  • Oceanic+ Dive Housing turns iPhone into an underwater camera & dive computer

    anonymouseanonymouse
    Why does the case pump the air out? Doesn’t this increase the pressure differential (leak potential) during a dive?
    A quick search unearthed this bit for another product: "By creating negative pressure inside the housing and monitoring the vacuum pressure, the AirLock will verify your housing is leak-proof before you even jump in the water." So, apparently, it allows one to verify that the seal is working properly before taking it in the water.
