Re: Tritrium refresh for C600 TriTech Elites
While the half-life of tritium is 12 years (it's radioactive activity decreases to half the original), the effect is inverse-exponential so in another 12 years it'll be down to 25% and so on. That in itself would make a tritium tube last dimly for many years, however it's likely the phosphor in the ...

Re: Anybody ever downgrade their phone?
I think the concern I'd have is around how long older versions of hardware and operating systems are supported by the manufacturer- especially security updates. We've all heard how Apple were under scrutiny for knobbling older phones as new operating systems were released, but they're also on the ho...

Re: Loupe Magazine
Not wishing to go off topic, but I wonder if an adjacent decision point is whether a curated magazine- online or physical- is still needed. Where some companies seem to do quite well with 'blog' style editorials, I wonder if the magazine collection of stories is still the easiest (and most cost effe...
