To add on to this: We need to regulate the use of PWM modulation in external LEDs on vehicles. Too many manufacturers are using 120Hz - 200Hz modulation frequency which are easily detectable by the human eye when motion is involved. You'll know when you're looking at a car with PWM headlights when at night they look like they are blurring.

Why do they use PWM instead of simply passing less current?


Cost. A PWM needs only one external component (a MOSFET), while a current regulator needs multiple.


I admit my knowledge on electronics is pretty basic, but to reduce current, don't you just need a resistor?


So a diode is a constant-voltage device. If you put a resistor in series and run a line voltage above the diode's voltage than the current will be limited by ohms law.

But, variable resistors that are rated for a lot of power (roughly half the power of the diodes at max brightness) will add to the BOM.


“Application Windows” is an option in Misson Control for Expose. I have it set up as a hot corner.


Orion Browser includes experimental Firefox extension support on iOS https://kagi.com/orion/


And it works really well from what I see.

Although Orion also has built in a (simpler) implementation the most important Firefox for me and I assume many others, tree style tabs. Orions built in version doesn't have the full customizability from TST but it works and presents tabs nested by what tab the descend from which is the most important feature.


Would you consider an Airbnb property that offered $0.99 per night rates for max 1 night and then asked you arrange alternative payment for additional nights to be in violation of Airbnb policy?

No, just a sucker. They would get bankrupted so fast Airbnb wouldn't have to do anything.


Apple removed sub-pixel text rendering support in macOS 3-4 years ago.

They wanted to merge their GPU driver stack across iOS and macOS when they moved to Apple Silicon.

This has come with some benefits, like the lightning fast speed that Macs can enable external monitors.


I thought Shorten (.shn) was the lossless codec that came out of that scene?


Samsung developed a microplastic filter that works with any washing machine.

Claims to capture 98% of microplastics.

It compacts the lint so that you only need to empty it once a month. Reports remaining capacity via SmartThings.

You can click the "Quick Answer" button on the search results page to trigger the same feature. I think it appears whenever there is more than one word in the search query.


You can also force its appearance by sticking a ? at the end of a query, either space separated or otherwise.


Amazing. You can use the website ranking feature to boost results from certain domains ie. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov


It’s a calculator.
