  Welcome to TNW Basics, a collection of tips, guides, and advice on how to easily get the most out of your gadgets, apps, and other stuff. The 2022 Super Bowl featured a parade of commercials for companies in the crypto industry. While the majority advertised exchange platforms, one slot was reserved for a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). DAOs are community-led organizations that share common goals, from making profitable investments to building impactful products. Instead of le

• Should bike helmets be compulsory?

  25-02-2022 17:15 via thenextweb.com
  
  I came across PedalMe cargo bike company last year, and was impressed. It provides a last-mile cargo and passenger ebike service. All of its riders are employed full-time, with pre-scheduled shifts and hourly pay (instead of the per-delivery income in the gig economy model).  Sounds pretty good, hey? But there’s a quirk — their riders are not allowed to wear bike helmets. Pedal Me ecargo bikes carry people and goods across London. Image: Pedal Me According to the company’

• Oi, developers! ‘Best practices’ can turn you into complacent a-holes

  Have you ever baked cookies and wondered why the recipe is exactly that way and no other? If you changed this ingredient up or that temperature, would it make the cookies even better? I certainly have had these thoughts. It’s the reason why most of the things I bake aren’t very edible… When it comes to programming, these thoughts arise too. What if I wrote this part as a separate function? If I hard-coded this bit over there, would it make the code easier? Can I rewrite those

• Nuclear fusion is coming — and we should be jumping with glee

  25-02-2022 14:53 via thenextweb.com
  
  There’s been tremendous excitement about recent results from the Joint European Torus (JET) facility in the UK, hinting that the dream of nuclear fusion power is inching closer to reality. We know that fusion works – it is the process that powers the Sun, providing heat and light to the Earth. But for decades it has proved difficult to make the transition from scientific laboratory experiments to sustained power production. The fundamental aim of fusion is to bring atomic nuclei mer

• The OnePlus 9RT feels cobbled together from spare parts — but it’s not all bad

  25-02-2022 13:30 via thenextweb.com
  
  In 2022, it’s not a surprising thing for a phone company to launch a device that feels like just an incremental update to its predecessor. But it’s slightly surprising when a manufacturer churns out a phone that’s made from the stock of phone parts of a model released last year. The OnePlus 9RT is one such example. Before you bring out your pitchforks, I want to clarify that it’s a good device to live with. And if you’re currently using a phone that’s a coupl

  In 2022, it’s not a surprising thing for a phone company to launch a device that feels like just an interactive update to its predecessor. But it’s slightly surprising when a manufacturer churns out a phone that’s made from the stock of phone parts of a model released last year. The OnePlus 9RT is one such example.

• I’m sold on the Samsung Galaxy Fold, but I say skip the Flip

  25-02-2022 00:53 via thenextweb.com
  
  Phone manufacturers spent most of the 2010s shrinking bezels and seeing how large a design they could get away with. Eventually, pretty much every phone on the market was just one big screen housed in a metal and glass chassis. Phones couldn’t get any larger without looking absurd. There was pretty much nowhere left to go. And so, the folding phone was born. The advent of folding displays has opened the door to all sorts of new form factors, but so far the market seems to have settled on
