Simplicity is not about making complex things simple, it's about making it simple to do complex things.

I'm a BIG fan of my 13 mini. Bought it last December and absolutely love the small form factor. The battery is no problem at all, even with extensive use. I easily have 20% or more…

Safari user here. I often feel I'm a minority, but it's a really good browser for my Mac. Had been using Firefox after Chrome before switching to Safari.

What I find the real problem is not JIRA itself, but the fact that most of the time JIRA, is abused up to a point where it's become unusable. The inability or unwillingness (or bot…

The only thing I hate about Safari is that it won't let me go full PWA. Besides that, I'm fine with it.

Kinda agree. I as an iPhone user, am completely aware of the fact I'm not only buying "just a device" but I committed myself to an ecosystem. And I did so, quite willingly as I pla…

"John Starbucks at Mainstreet"

"Feels like -900C"

It's for this that I bought the reMarkable and drag it into every meeting I attend. I feel like I'm in more control of what is happening instead of staring at a laptop screen and n…

Will battery life be horrific, or just "sub par"? In other words, are users going to notice and should I refrain from doing it this way?
