I'd take that bet. Smartphone chargers are 5 volts, 1 amp (excluding the new quick chargers, and tablet chargers). That's 5 watts. 5 watts is very little power, easily provided by that solar panel there. This can probably charge several phones at once on solar alone. It is probably connected to the grid, but only for when it's night.

9GAG and iFunny? I tried them. Didn't like it. FunSubstance is where it's at!

Do you really need to censor those FunSubstance? You shouldn't be so self conscious! You're the best anyway, so anyone who goes to them will just come right back!

This is the Fourier Series, you can't "solve" it...

Is it not possible to honor soldiers but also be anti-war?

(The piece is called Some/One, and the artist did not have any particular meaning in mind. He intentionally left it open to interpretation.)

How long did it take you? 65 comments

No, the guests solution is valid. There are two solutions:

8 - 4 = 4
5 + 4 = 9

Both can be made by moving a single match.

No, if you tap there it directs you to a place where you can purchase the watermark's removal. Unfortunately, it's probably not worth the price.

Woah, hold up a second there!

"Who gives a s**t?" I do! Polls like this do serve a purpose. This one tells us that a full 25% of people don't believe climate change is real. If you're one of the 75%, you should be concerned by that!

Sure, if you're using this poll to say "look, no one believes in climate change so it MUST not be real", you're doing it wrong. Instead, look at it and say "wow, that's a lot of uneducated people, maybe we should fix that..."

Remember, these people vote. They make a difference. Wouldn't it be nice if they were educated enough to make a good difference?

Because, it was on a certain humor website with a 9 in its name, and, as you can see, FunSubstance has replaced the web address with "where.com".
If you really want to see it, here's a short link to it that FunSubstance won't auto-block:

But they sell those in single colors as well. I'd imagine they just bought them separate and layered them like that for the "after" picture. Then they stirred them up and took the "before" picture. I sure hope they didn't actually sort them out...

Yes. It was designed as a "protest against the commercialization of modern life".

Note that I still wouldn't use it. Besides this, there are other concerns regarding Hola that make it just not worth it.
.
It's highly likely that the browser extension is safe, but their client is not. Google would NOT allow their extension into the Chrome Web Store if it did the "peer-to-peer" routing. Google has policy's against this, and they'd have removed the extension:

Sorry, but no. Read their FAQ:
"The browser extension and Opera browser add-on operate as a standard VPN service and are not part of the Hola peer-to-peer network."
- https://hola.org/faq#in_whatis_pvp_vpn
.
Or the Google Chrome Web Store:
"This is NOT a peer to peer application."
- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unlimited-free-vpn-hola/gkojfkhlekighikafcpjkiklfbnlmeio?hl=en
.
YES, Hola does what the links you provided describe IF you use their client. But NO, not when you're using the browser extension alone. This may have changed recently, making the pages you linked out of date. Or maybe their writers were just misinformed.

The guest's comment said to use the Chrome extension for Hola, which does not do what you described. The Chrome and Firefox extensions are not "peer-to-peer" so are "safe". They don't route other people's internet through yours.

Attacking a chicken in Skyrim is a crime (it's someone's chicken after all...). When you do it, everyone who sees you starts attacking you because you have a bounty. If you kill the people as well, then you're even more wanted...

Thanks switzerland 14 comments

While this does seem to be true, it seems much more likely that Apple will just not sell iPhone in Switzerland. It's unlikely that they would sell a special version with a universal charger for Switzerland, and it's also unlikely that they'd make all iPhones have universal chargers, just because of this regulation.
.
When it comes to money, what they'd lose in not selling to Switzerland (population around 8 million) is probably a lot less than the cost of using a universal charger. Remember, Apple makes money every time you buy one of their fancy lightning cables!
.
While I agree that Apple should switch to universal chargers, Switzerland just isn't big enough to push Apple to make that change. Apple will just say "Hah suck it Switzerland".

Li-Fi is expected to be much cheaper than wi-fi! Read my other comment for a link, as well as the limitations.

Problem is it uses visible light to work, so it doesn't work through walls.

This can actually be a good thing though. If you need top security, no one can connect to your network if you just close the door.
