    They were actually testing out running ChromeOS on Android, but apparently it was just a tech demo https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-on-android-proof-...

    My biggest issues with homebrew were dealing with versions of dependencies. If major updates for a package came out and you ran a `brew upgrade` (or a new member joins the team and…

    That's what I'm curious about too. If it does manage to do a good job imitating what an actual iPhone would do though - is there any way Apple even could shut it down without break…

    Then why isn't that happening on Android with Google Pay? Banks are able to handle NFC payments through their own apps if they want, but the vast majority support Google Pay and do…

    Sorry if it wasn't clear, that was actually my point - on Android even though banks have the ability to handle NFC payments within their own apps, the vast majority still support G…

    I have an Android phone and have every single one of my credit and debit cards from 7 different banks in Google Pay. Don't need to use the bank app for any of them. EDIT: to be cle…

    How would Apple know what the content was that was flagged if all they are provided with is a list of hashes? I completely agree it's ludicrous, but there are plenty of countries t…

    People have been talking about other companies doing that for ages, and many specifically choose Apple products because of their perceived commitment to privacy.

    Does anyone have any tips or resources for getting more out of the Jetbrains IDEs? I've been using them for years but I still feel like there's so much I'm not taking advantage of.…

    Definitely want improvements on most of those myself but some of them are already here. Third party password manager autofill has been around for a few years now (Android 8), and t…

    Something to keep in mind is most core apps (Maps, Gmail, Messages, etc) aren't baked into the Android OS and are updated with new features regularly throughout the year. Apple oft…

    iOS, we don't have macOS apps so haven't run into it there but could be a similar problem.

    I've been having similar issues with one of our apps, the reviewer can't seem to log in and keeps getting network error messages. No customers have had any issues, I've tried loggi…

    I've been exploring Kotlin as a "rule them all" language. With Kotlin native/multiplatform you can already cover all platforms today since it can compile to JVM, JS, and native cod…
