That's not true for Apple's own apps. News can send notifications without you enabling them (like you have to for 3rd party apps). I've even submitted a bug report about this and i…

I have built many large scale apps and have never used a library for autolayout, it's just not necessary. Using visual format language helps cuts down the code a lot.

Out of interest how do you use your iMac as an external monitor? I have a slightly older one, so it doesn't support target display mode (only available on 2009 macs and newer).

Lots of apps are like this and I don't understand why. They should be using the caches folder and "the system may delete the Caches/ directory to free up disk space". However I hav…

Which version of iOS? As far as I can tell you can tap or swipe/slide the switches.

I have Apple cables that old that still have nothing wrong with them. I think it was maybe about 4-5 years ago that they switched the materials, every cable I have had since then h…

Did you copy and paste the URL? It adds an id on the end, it doesn't track me when I remove the id.

It's a joke.

This doesn't only happen with the two-prong adapters, I have noticed this on a few MacBooks, plugged in using the standard 3-prong UK plugs (sometimes with my phone too). An even w…

Which is why it is blocked to people in the UK as they already pay the licence fee and therefore aren't allowed to be shown ads by the BBC. It's a bit of a weird situation.

In Xcode 8 you can't. They briefly had it as a feature but it has never worked properly and is not supported. EDIT: It was also using Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth.

It totally depends on the situation, JPEG isn't always smaller, and it's lossy unlike PNG. Flat colour images like logos will be smaller as PNG, and look better too. PNGs also supp…

Really? I can only see a heavily compressed jpg that uses 345kb, the page has nothing else on it. High compression is probably a bad idea if you're trying to show off the superior …

Is there any evidence of this being possible on Macs made after 2008?

That only works on pre 2008 Macs, I haven't seen any evidence about it being possible on later models.
