I don't really think this is fair. I haven't been to SFO in years, and I'm sure it's great. But I don't think PHL is nearly as bad as some people like to make it out to be. (To be …

PHL has a verion of this ("Wingmate pass") that I use pretty frequently now! If I have a friend/family flying in/out I usually get one so I can meet them at the gate. It's very nic…

When this was DarkSky, the service was solid. I don't ever remember an outage. Ever since Apple bought them it's been extremely unreliable. I regularly get random 5xx errors from t…

Android has a "Private Space" feature. As far as I can tell it's only a single extra profile you can create, but I think you can keep it "hidden" (at least in as much as you can't …

I wish there were an easy way to rotate the image back. I can use the inspector in dev tools and manually change the transform style that's applied, I suppose.

Maybe it was changed quickly, but I can't find anywhere that is says "No tracking". It specifically says "We don't track you around the internet." and "doesn't track you across sit…

They aren't taking issue with Signal, per se... they are upset that people are sharing the whereabouts and movements of ICE officers. Signal just seems to be the medium-of-choice. …

Most people have many devices: phones, tablets, laptops, etc... so this makes that stuff accessible from anywhere. And if you lose your device, or it dies, you don't lose all your …

This is a few years old now: > The article was updated on June 26, 2023, to include LocationIQ per the provider's request. There are a few more options now (Stadia, Geocodio, among…

I'm really surprised I don't see more tech-savvy people talking about SilverBullet ( https://silverbullet.md ). It's not perfect, but very "hackable" and being actively developed. …

The user already has to explicitly "install" a PWA on iOS. See dfabulich's comment in this same thread for how overly complicated and convoluted that process is currently. So there…

I'm sure declarative web push is great. But most of this post sounds to me like they are trying to justify artificially restricting web push notification functionality on the web a…

That's not even a remotely good takeaway from this. The paper is specifically focused on the "yellowish nodules", ultimately diagnosed as xanthelasma. It's not meant to be a thorou…

Then your 7am will almost NEVER match my 7am. Or anyone else's 7am. It may only be by nanoseconds, or it may be hours (i.e. east coast vs west coast USA). So how would that even wo…

It flashes "Dec 11th" at the 1:20 mark. I thought for sure this must be a prank, but the account says "Joined Jan 20, 2024". It seems it's possible to change your YouTube username,…

But Astro.js is being used by Ikea, plus a number of other e-commerce retailers. These large companies use all kinds of tech across a huge number of projects. I hardly see how that…
