It appears to be a mistake -- the Reuters article says "In only two days, more than 700,000 new users joined Xiaohongshu", which makes more sense.

The guess is that it was a confusion about "700M" somewhere.


There's also no reason they couldn't pattern that area with some other suitable commodity chips. Like how sawmills and butchers put all cuts to use.

Often those areas are used for test chips and structures for the next version. They are effectively free, so you can use them to test out ideas.

The article mentions the causation problem but doesn't follow it up. I can't find where or if they have a control case, e.g., measure some other external common substance, like wood or rock dust, in the body and see if it also correlates with lesions. I expect it would too.


I'm also curious.

I'd bet that they use a smaller version of a pancake generator like [0]. And power it through a gear train from four mainsprings as it says in TFA.

System Settings > Trackpad > "Tap to click" fixes that.

Try out the other options there too: two-finger tap for right-click, two-finger drag for scroll, and three-finger drag window by title bar.


Also the default speed is useful for Gen X or older. Gotta max out pointer speed and keyboard repeat rate when you buy a new Mac.


It's clearly a vector display, and my guess is that the beam is being turned off a little too early at the end of each character's final stroke, leaving it lopsided.

The bar over a letter must mean that it's true upper-case. Cheesy, but it's what we did when characters were expensive.


>in organ transplant patients

It doesn't say if this has any effect for non-immunosuppresive-related skin cancer.


Which is the first question you'd ask. Standard journalistic failure.


Red bar? Maybe you're thinking of another device or app?

The way I understand it, an iOS device does always listen for "Siri", but that's done in isolated hardware that an app has no access to.

The orange "microphone" dot does show when it hears your "Siri" command, as well as when an app with microphone permission is listening. (Checked on an iPhone 13, iOS 18).


I certainly would not trust that dot at all, especially given that it is completely software-driven.

Nor would I trust that the hardware only ever listens for Siri.


Yeah, I just replaced my thermostat and after looking at all of those fancy models and thinking about how I don't follow a schedule myself. So I bought another analog one.

The entire UI to learn: when cold move the lever right, when hot, left.


My reason for using a no-keypad keyboard on the desktop is entirely functional: reaching for the mouse (a very common motion) is faster.

And as a bonus, I can type numbers faster on the top row than I could on a keypad since I'm using 8 fingers, and my hands stay in home position for mixing with letters and other symbols. Combine that with being easily able to switch to a laptop keyboard and still type at full speed -- I've just never seen the point of a keypad.


Makes me wonder if with practice I could switch from numpad to the number row for numbers. Currently my brain doesn't work like that, but I had to learn how to type letters all those years ago, so it has to be the same. But I have to "unlearn" how I currently type numbers.


I was laptop only for several years. I thought I’d be able to unlearn. Once I got a proper desk setup again, using a numpad was like riding a bike.
