This has already been a thing for Macs as well for many, many years. If you boot into recovery mode, there is a menu option to add a Firmware Password. You cannot access recovery m…

> one of the problems common in big test suites: poorly factored tests that end up being the sort of expressive duplication that is a giant drag on improving existing code. I feel …

Yes, you've got it right.

The encryption/decryption keys for your iMessages are stored with Apple, and are accessible to them. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, Apple–and thus law enforcement–can in fact d…

Your link is merely about general child mortality rates, and has nothing to do with aboriginal populations. If you have no clue about the context involved when talking about mass m…

> People are spinning this story like this was a death camp for native kids. It's not. Link your sources, or fuck right off. You're going to become a holocaust denier? "Child morta…

For anyone looking to buy Steelcase brand new, it's worth knowing that the warranty for the fabric component depends on which series of fabric you choose from. The hardware compone…

Aha, what I was looking for was the "Library" popup, which allows drag-and-drop of new components onto the canvas. Now I understand; this latest iteration of Xcode has the code can…

I'd be willing to pay, but it's not clear what is included. For an initial look before paying, I downloaded a pirated copy. It only contains the components' html (and alpine, react…

Hmm? From https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/ : > Xcode includes intuitive design tools that make building interfaces with SwiftUI as easy as dragging and dropping. As you w…

I tried to get into it recently, and I couldn't even manage a "hello world" app. The built-in demo/skeleton app creates a text label in code , and that's it. I couldn't even figure…

I remember finding this setting before, for myself and at least half a dozen other people in my life. Not seeing the full URL is something that Mozilla should have fucking understo…

> Their UI was somewhat lackluster I remember looking at ProntonMail 3 years ago, before I settled on Fastmail instead. To be clear, I have no intention of leaving Fastmail; they h…

Hahah, that's actually awesome. Of course someone out there put in the leg work to work around the licensing issue, and then shared it to the (minor?) masses.

Exactly this. Advanced tldr; I spent 2 years struggling with the inability to troubleshoot Apple's problems to help track down horrific bugs. AirDrop from my iPhone XS to my Early …

Extended Support ended January 14, 2020, however Microsoft is offering Extended Security Updates (ESU) until January, 2023. It's a paid program to extend security patches, having t…

The reason tables for layout were so bad was that the table as a whole couldn't be rendered (laid out) properly until every cell was fully rendered first, including images with uns…

I'm very thankful for Varenecline (aka Chantix/Champix); it's what got me to quit after many years of pack-a-day. I didn't even set a quit date when I started. That drug took away …

Agreed, I don't understand why anyone reaches for uuid v4; it's the dumbest thing out there that sees regular use for no reason whatsoever. The number of developers who reach for u…

And this right here is why PostgreSQL will never overtake MySQL and its forks. The entire industry is sick of these excuses regarding process-per-client instead of a proper multi-t…

I feel sorry for average non-technical people who get hoodwinked into VPNs. The majority of people have absolutely no need for a VPN for "privacy" reasons, particularly these days …

And if ad blockers didn't exist, they would still increase the number of ads anyway. If nobody could block ads, there would be no incentive for companies to be scared about having …
