    I’m from a technical background and so I understand this but being a Brit sentences like this are always funny to me

    It’s funny (and annoying) the disparity between Arm builds for macOS and Windows. I understand why it happens but even Microsoft has produced Arm native versions of apps for macOS …

    I signed up for BuyMeACoffee recently. I did some work for free that’s important for the industry I work in and a few people donated money to me. That was almost 2 weeks ago and I’…

    The problem is if you go for a free market "vote with their wallets" approach, you end up with a problem like the US did with Microsoft having too high of a market share and contro…

    This is interesting, sure, but you would need more data to create a better identifier. I’m on an iPhone, which isn’t an uncommon device using Brave which is just WebKit because of …

    Do you happen to remember which bus company this was? Is there any article you can link me too as I’m quite interested in reading some more on it.

    It’s not even true that you can’t update an Apple Watch without an iPhone. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204641

    I have used Infuse for years. I just use a basic NAS with a torrent client and a watch folder. I have pretty fast broadband too, so all together it’s a really nice experience. Plus…

    They shouldn't be. I don't see them as synonymous.

    This is sad but unsurprising. Microsoft did so well purchasing Xamarin and then systematically ripped it apart and didn’t bother to put any effort behind VS Mac. Then it did early …

    Why wouldn't you leave those things on? Apple designed iOS for those things to be handled and turned on when needed. BLE is quite low in power, GPS is only on when location service…

    I listen to the Friday Night Comedy Radio 4 podcast every Friday. There was an announcement on there that Apple Podcasts would still get them, but 30 days later than BBC Sounds. I …
