yes, one side of the thing is just a mirror, the other side is a UV light, a UV camera and a black and white screen. The screen shows what the camera picks up

The food in Bangalore is great in general, but as a vegetarian I cannot express how *incredible* it feels to be surrounded by great options rather than feeling like a second class citizen

Recently bought my girlfriend a UV mirror and it's so cool. You can see where your sunscreen is applied, whether your glasses block UV, etc.

NexPhone Hands On! The Android Phone Which is ALSO a Linux AND Windows PC!
YouTube video by JuanBagnell NexPhone Hands On! The Android Phone Which is ALSO a Linux AND Windows PC!

There's NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

Phones are computers. I ramble about that a lot. This phone is LITERALLY that!

The much better solution is to subsidize charging infrastructure (still lacking) or, better yet, alternatives to driving...

FYI the video I screenshotted in case you're wondering: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ57...

Germany has just introduced EV purchase subsidies again and even on YouTube channels that are full with EV drivers the comments unanimously agree that this is a waste of money. Incredibly expensive taxpayer subsidies that will just lead to car brands increasing list prices by the subsidy amount.

Happy to hear and yeah, I've been diving with a Mares Quad since I started. I think I will make a video specifically about why that is probably still the best choice for most people

Oh wait it's just a https issue. Anyway, it's software that looks and feels like it's from 2003

BTW it's remarkable how products like these feel futuristic if you're used to dive tech, but ancient if you're used to regular consumer tech.

With 4.7 stars it's clear divers love them & I bet the actual diving works well. Meanwhile the app design is straight out of 2010 & the pairing failed twiceπŸ˜‚

I'm going diving & decided to get a bunch of gear & start a new diving YouTube chanel. My guess is that something like 18 people will watch these videos, but I just wanna diiiiive, haha.

So far I got a Garmin Descent G2, Huawei Watch Ultimate 2, should get some Suunto gear, etc. More info soon!

I get that, but almost every game generates outrage now. Every time a character is too hot or not hot enough there is drama, every time a blog post or business decision is cause for outrage, etc. Just exhausting IMO and feels like gamers constantly act as if they were a persecuted class

Also helps you avoid the constant ...gamer culture war? IDK what to call it, but capital G Gamers seemingly always feel it is extremely important to be angry at some studio or game or fat cat CEO or some other thing

My favorite place to read about the business of e-bikes is Micromobility.io, a fantastic industry publication.

I interviewed their CEO for my upcoming video on the collapse of Cowboy, Vanmoof, Rad Bikes & co. Exclusive for Nebula viewers:

Main video coming later.

In Indonesia, 35% of new car sales were battery-electric models last month. Quite extraordinary. But let's see what the next few months bring.
