Superfest was a brand of ion-exchange toughened drinking glasses. Ion-exchange toughened glass was invented by Steven Kistler in the 1960s, and commercialised by Corning shortly after.
Gorilla Glass is essentially the same thing, and it (or similar products from other manufacturers) is on nearly every smartphone and tablet sold today, so in some sense it's more widespread than it has ever been.
Another reason it might not have caught on for drinking glasses is (aside from being much more expensive to produce), when it breaks it shatters into a huge number of _sharp_ shards, whereas tempered glass shatters into mostly blunter cubes. You can get tempered glass drinking glasses at IKEA.
Me too. I may have come to the end of using Bodum's wonderful double-wall mugs because I now drop them more than I used to and they're getting ever more expensive.
The approach some JS projects have taken is to use Husky, which automatically sets up the git hooks when you install the project's dependencies during development.
Sure it's possible but those are a handful of exceptions against the norm, when the general approach so easily guides you towards bloat upon bloat that you have to be an expert to actively avoid going down that route.
No. What it can affect though is the bandwidth of the cable, meaning e.g. for HDMI cables, they might not support higher resolutions or framerates. If it's on the border you might see random disconnects or screen blanks.
The quality degrading is not something you will see, as it's a digital protocol.
"Audiophile grade" HDMI cables are likely to just be a Shenzhen bargain-bin special with some fancy looking sheathing and connectors. I would trust them less than an Amazon Basics cable.
Indeed. If I want super high quality cables, I get them from Blue Jeans Cables, who tell you exactly what Belsen or Can are cable stock and what connectors, as well as the assembly methodology.
With EVs, most of your charging should be done at home, with fast charging mostly just existing for trips.
I know not everyone can charge at home (especially if you live in an apartment), but the solution to that is pretty straightforward and a lot more convenient compared with trying to scale up fast charging to match petrol stations.
