    Apple was the same when I was there for 17.0.0.0/8

    Zero issues from my experience. The dish has a snow melt "mode", and I didn't have to manually clean it at all after a large snowfall.

    I believe it converts those files to compatible formats when you transfer them off the device. The exception seems to be when you have macOS 10.13 and use Photos, the images and vi…

    He's not correcting the use of a period, he's correcting the numbers themselves. 1:50,000 and 1:1,000,000 vs 1:10,000 and 1:50,000

    It absolutely isn't hard to get music on Spotify. DistroKid (distrokid.com) is $20 a year to upload unlimited tracks to all the music services. But, you're point about being able t…

    My wife and I did the exact same thing, except it was SF. We're very happy that we moved back to Toronto and Canada in general. It's our home (friends and family are here) and we d…

    Apple Pay has been a godsend for me. I carry one backup debit card and slimmed my wallet down to almost nothing. In Canada, we've had contactless terminals everywhere for a few yea…

    Uses HTTP adaptive streaming that's built into Quicktime and iOS natively. It's the same technology that MLB/NFL/NHL use to do live-streaming of games to their apps on iOS. There i…

    I know that Canadian ISPs have the Netflix appliances located in their data centres, so technically yes they do serve content from within Canada sometimes.

    They do let you hide purchases so that they won't show up on in the music list on iOS and iTunes. They won't let you delete a purchase, which makes sense. It's confusing because th…

    From the demo video, it looks like a "standard" reader that I've seen in use today.

    I find the Privacy addresses a pain when it comes to managing traffic on my network. My (mostly Apple) devices will never use their DHCP provided v6 address to connect to a public …

    But in most of the services areas where you can get Bell or Rogers, you can get one of the 3rd party providers like Start or Teksavvy. These providers have an unmetered upstream ca…

    I was trying it out for a while, but had to go back to 10.9 because of some Photoshop issues. So be careful if you use Adobe apps.

    People also use SourceConnect as a way to do studio-to-studio sessions. Works very well in the studio where I set it up. Sessions to Portland, Chicago, Germany, etc all go off with…

    Ya, I basically need to use my Magic Mouse while my MBP is plugged into an external monitor and I'm not using the trackpad. Not having easy access to gestures slows me way down whi…

    I can't believe I can remember mine as well (10407923). I don't even remember my old phone number that I had at the time, or the address of where I lived!

    Yes, Route 53 has been great for me as well. I have my crucial DNS zones hosted there. But all the other stuff was on Namecheap's name servers. I'll probably continue with that set…
