Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL this Fun Fact: Unfortunately, Chainsaws Were Invented for ChildbirthEnglish
24·1 year agoThat wiki entry literally says that it was designed to help during childbirth…
“for symphysiotomy and excision of diseased bone, respectively.”
Follow the link for symphysiotomy and it says “Symphysiotomy is a surgical procedure in which the cartilage of the pubic symphysis is divided to widen the pelvis allowing childbirth when there is a mechanical problem (obstructed labour).”

Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
3·2 years agoBecause I watched it and it’s very clearly CGI. Paint cans are an order of magnitude stronger than a wooden piano top, not to mention they wouldn’t all explode at the same time. The emoji ball didn’t just land at the edge. No one has a 10mx5m hydraulic press.

Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
3·2 years agoDo you really think paint cans are going to crush before a piano top? Absolutely no way. And to all burst at the same time?
Then there’s the guitar strings when they snap is way too unnatural. And the bouncing emoji ball just happens to escape and land perfectly at the edge.
Not to mention, no one has a 10m x 5m hydraulic press.

Apple@lemmy.world•Apple apologizes for iPad “Crush” ad that “missed the mark”
26·2 years agoThey didn’t actually destroy them… it’s all CGI. And people are free to enjoy music how they feel. I’d rather listen to a streamed song from my phone while sitting on the train than sitting there playing my guitar… imagine 50 people in a train carriage all trying to play their own music.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Encrypted services Apple, Proton and Wire helped Spanish police identify activist | TechCrunch
14·2 years agoYes. They never gave away content of emails, because they couldn’t even if they wanted to. It’s encrypted.
They gave the recovery email for the account to the authorities, which was an iCloud account tied to the user’s real name.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 adEnglish
8·2 years agoNot really. Adobe creative cloud is used my almost all graphic/media professionals, yet doesn’t work on Linux… that’s not very niche

9·2 years agoAs much as everyone pushes Linux, it’s not a suitable replacement in a lot of scenarios

Formula 1@lemmy.world•Explanation on why Norris' lap time was reinstated
7·2 years agoYes. Drivers could run wide to effectively open up the final corner and carry more speed down the pit straight. This prevents that.
It doesn’t matter this weekend because there’s a gravel trap, so it’s only going to be to the drivers detriment.
They’re in China and pandas are from China
My son didn’t want to use a potty at all. No matter what. He would occasionally use the toilet, but didn’t like that either. He was too comfortable in nappies I think.
Then one day he just decided that’s it and started using the toilet. He was about 3.5, which I think is quite late, I’m not sure. But there was no way he was doing it before then, he just knew when he was ready. He was out of nappies at night about 4.5.
My daughter is now 2 and will try using the toilet standing up after watching her brother 🤣 she at least wants to ditch nappies, but she’s not quite getting there.
That will eventually happen to affinity I’m sure, but at least affinity is ~5% the price a perpetual CS6 license was.

Financially stupid? I guess, but that applies to almost all collectibles. So does paying to go out for a meal when it’s cheaper to cook at home, but people still do it because they enjoy it.
