There's nothing wrong with sunscreen in general, but they are probably referring to what happened recently in Australia:

Independent analysis by a trusted consumer advocacy group has found that several of Australia's most popular, and expensive, sunscreens are not providing the protection they claim to, kicking off a national scandal.

I meant they were right about being too blue. I don't think that it damages the eyes because it's blue, but I'm pretty sure a really bright light can damage your eyes.

I don't know about regulations, but you are right about the blue light. Most white LEDs have low CRI, and that's why things look weird with them.
The reason they use low CRI LEDs is probably because they are cheaper and produce more lumens per watt.

I really like the Dymaxion projection.

Yeah, the choosing when to see them is the most difficult part. I don't see that happening in the near future.

So basically all ads... I agree

The thing is that USB type C is only about the physical plug/socket, and the USB standard and version that uses it is a separate thing.
In this case it's probably a PD only charger and the device only supports plain old 5v 500mA USB power

I really really like my Garmin Instinct 2. It a kind of hybrid but between old digital clock and smartwatch, instead of analog.
It has strong Casio Pro Trek vibes. One color, no touch LCD screen. Solar charging, more than 3 weeks battery life, GPS, all health sensors and smart stuff.

Interesting... Never thought about that.

How would the website know that you are using a custom DNS provider?

 

Bigger vehicles can be safer in crashes, but far more dangerous for pedestrians.

And the average size of cars and trucks in the U.S. continues to grow. Some current models – like that of the Toyota Rav4 – are a third larger than they were only 15 years ago.

That’s led to a 77% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2010.
