Even Apple has forgotten about this it seems. There are various places in the UI where this change is not respected, e.g. Stage Manager.

The iPad 2 can be downgraded to iOS 6.1.3 or 8.4.1. Both offer better performance than iOS 9 and have untethered jailbreaks. Once downgraded and jailbroken you can sideload hours a…

Oversight. Frameworks tend to make it easy to make an API endpoint by casting your model to JSON or something, but it's easy to forget you need to make specific fields hidden.

The US is hardly the only country where this is the case and locking down your phone is almost entirely pointless (see xkcd #538). If you're concerned about having it searched, don…

It's not a forced binary. There are no in-between gametes. There are large gametes (eggs) and small gametes (sperm). The law and government doesn't get to decide this, as you say, …

We've been able to observe that there are two sexes since time immemorial based on secondary sex characteristics. There is a very strong correlation between these characteristics a…

A less succinct way of phrasing it would be something like: which gametes are produced, were produced, or should have been produced. There are messy edge cases. Not all people have…

Sex is defined by which gametes are produced, not chromosomes.

WordPress 3.7, which introduced automatic updates, received security backports all the way to 3.7.41. From 2013 to 2022. 4.1 and above are all still receiving them.

I've converted a few fan fictions into audiobooks using edge-tts ( https://github.com/rany2/edge-tts ). It uses a reverse engineered API from MS Edge to use the more premium MS voi…

Except for curl, which now has more users familar with it than say wget or aria2.

Sadly Apple picked neither option. 3rd party apps cannot meaningfully interact with Spaces for example, even basic things like moving windows between spaces or adjusting the animat…

32, late diagnosed autistic. This is how I got into software development back in the day. Opera circa 2007 had a feature where viewing a page's source also let you edit it and upda…

I run this on my old Eee PC 900a from 2008. The SSD was upgraded from the stock 16GB to a massive 128GB, and the ram doubled from 1GB to 2GB. I have most of Adobe CS6 installed alo…

Open source? Would love to see a production Livewire app, especially since it's using v3 with AlpineJS. PHP does indeed have good support for types now. Laravel as a framework gene…
