I've never had an issue with wake/sleep on any of my M1/2/4 devices. The only issue I can ever recall with sleep was the 2019 16" Intel (which had a host of issues).

Apparently you've never had to change drill bits up high on a ladder? I've dropped (and lost) plenty of drill bits trying to undo the chuck whilst holding a screwdriver bit. It may have its uses if this can free up a hand.

I'd consider using a small magnet taped to the drill. Though I usually just use my pocket

That could work. I use a little tray that fits in the steps/top of the ladder

At last!

A useful comment on HN!

Great idea!


You can also buy a magnetic bracelet.

Round shank drill bits and three-jaw chucks are largely obsolete for job site use. Contractors are now predominantly using hex shank drill bits in an impact driver for conventional drilling, or SDS drill bits for masonry drilling.

Not sure if I agree here. Of course SDS has been the standard for quite a while in masonry uses, but impacts simply do not have the power of a full sized drill with a 1/2" chuck (or bigger) for more difficult materials. The 1/4" hex shank is pretty limiting for torque as well, and the chuck has far worse concentricity if you care at all about precision.

The hex shank bits are decent (although I'd say I prefer round shank with flats) but calling round shank obsolete seems a bit far.


> I prefer round shank with flats

Try getting a quick-change chuck and this opinion will change.


Magnet wristband. lifechanging

Nowhere in the article does it say they won't use power? Being able to use a solar panel and a small (5000mAh) battery is pretty great. At least they'll still show an image even without power.

You can create an invite online. No Apple hardware needed.

Extreme? A subscription costs $1/mo and includes other features.


I thought everyone here has subscription fatigue already.

>other features

Yeah, for people who own Apple hardware...


Of the 12 services/apps that show up in the iCloud web UI, only "Find My" isn't usable without Apple hardware.


You can generate a link to e-mail to anyone, which opens up a web page which you can RSVP from.


I tested it with a sample event and I don't see any way to RSVP without logging into an Apple account. Maybe I'm missing something?

You are. I explicitly created a burner email and invited it to an event.

When I navigated from the invite email I was prompted to sign in which I declined. It then allowed me to join the event after I confirmed with an emailed code.

On joining the event I was able to set my name and send a note.


The way I tested it was to create Share link, then navigate to it in an incognito window on Desktop and try to RSVP. I am still unable RSVP without login. Perhaps it works without login if you explicitly invite a certain email.


Been running HA for a year or so and been rock solid. If anything, it's a buggy device that adds extra effort.


It doesn't have to be the best experience. It just has to be better than the alternative, which is in many cases no app (or in the case for Slack, the web app)


It is not - IRC (International residential code) requires whole house mechanical ventilation (like the forementioned ERV/HRV) if a house is measured at < 5 ACH50.


This is not a passive house, this was confirmed by a builder on Youtube who contacted the architect.

The features called out that contributed were - Stucco siding - Metal roof with no overhangs - ~4' tall concrete wall - 1 hour fire rated exterior wall assembly


also it looks like this house was not in the depths of the raging wildfire.. the tree's are still there and what we can see of the houses behind it are in tact...

this seems like a very very misleading article.

Passive houses are great, and I support them being a standard. But its not going to make it fireproof.
