I looked at major retailers and the only one I saw with generic OTC Azelastine was Walgreens. It was only slightly cheaper than the name brand, and you could get cheaper name brand from other stores in larger quantities. There also seemed to be coupons available at major pharmacies on Astepro...

Transit systems needed to add support for them to keep federal funding as part of the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005. These cards sound interesting, though I hope something similar will become a standard. I wonder how many insert/eject cycles the card and/or reader is rated for. Micro SD...

Pricing isn't efficient on iPad and Mac models since AppleCare+ (in the US) costs the same $169 for three years for a $1999 base Mac Studio M4 Max and a $14099 maxed out M3 Ultra, but the repair costs for the latter can be much higher if the logic board breaks. Based on my historical Applecare...

That TV, and presumably others, can also be updated offline by downloading updates to a USB drive. I did so soon after it was released for some feature update and have never connected it to the internet. I turned off personalized ads on my NVIDIA Shield TV, but I’ll probably switch over to an...

I've been more cautious about immediate updates since 2016’s iOS 10 caused problems for those that updated in the first hour and I had to find a computer with iTunes to fix my devices. I now update one device at a time, and monitor Apple forums to see if people are reporting issues. I’m happy...

The first two iPad Pro generations from 2015 and 2017 were released in 10.5” and 12.9” sizes. The 2018 (A12X) iPad Pro lineup had 11” and 12.9” sizes, and were referred to as 1st and 3rd generation respectively. I’d expect both to lose support in the same future year. This year the 12.9” was...

Yes. The second generation 10.5” and 12.9” iPad Pro devices originally released in 2017 are also not getting the new iPadOS version.

You can look up the data sheets to see the amount of active ingredient in each dose. I did so a few days ago and I believe Moderna has more active ingredient again this year. I have not looked whether that translates into higher expected effectiveness, but I would expect either mRNA vaccine...

I would be skeptical about the durability of that number if they don't also indicate the number of subscribers that are paying full price, or anything at all. Since at least late 2019, for almost every month, Paramount+ (and its predecessor CBS All Access) has created a new promotional code for...

Yes, as others have stated, the retailer can be held liable. For this reason, I try to only buy items that state "Ships from and sold by Amazon" when I feel there are potential safety risks, such as food and electrical items. I do make exceptions when purchasing from a longstanding manufacturer...

From what I can tell from the Project Zero page, all Cloudflare sites are potentially affected, since the uninitialized memory spewed out on the webpages with malformed tags could be from any site. (Personal view, not that of my employer)

Presumably public wifi spots and corporate deployments. This should allow for more users/bandwidth per router install.

In many respects design patents are closer to trademarks than the traditional utility patents that we normally see involved in lawsuits on Ars. Design patents only offer protection for the "ornamental" portion of the item. Note that there's no Design patent protection to the functional...

I have complete faith in Microsoft's ability to develop a new SKU for every possible situation. They sell 4 different products for Windows 8.1 with Bing

As stated in the linked article, but not made clear in this one, this cap only applies during "abnormal disruptions" (e.g. emergencies). So, during an emergency, under this agreement, Uber is only able to charge the fourth highest surge rate in the past two months.

So, if you can be compelled to provide a fingerprint, can you be compelled to provide the *right* fingerprint? The TouchID sensor can only store 5 fingerprints. You get five fingerprint tries before you MUST unlock the phone with the backup passcode/word. I assume that you don't have to tell...

I wonder if Samsung is planning on getting around Google's non-forking provision in the Android license agreement (preventing an AOSP-based phone by a manufacturer in a market with Google services) by starting an anti-trust suit against Google, or encouraging a government investigation against...

My understanding is that in cases like this, many police departments have standards for witness identification that can reduce these concerns. For example, they may put a mugshot of the suspects alongside that of others with similar physical features, or do a lineup. Wikipedia article has a...

I disagree. If there are more fee-shifting cases, then patent holders will be less likely to file suit (or threaten to do so). With less lawsuits, there will be less need for or demand for patent lawyers.

I'd just like to point out that this is a bad idea, as it's a form of password reuse. If an attacker has access to your old (encrypted) password manager keychain, they could first crack the old password keychain (assuming 5 words, 7776^5), and then add the cracked password to their word list...
