Could somebody who understands this stuff explain it for me? I'm pretty sure I've heard of the Southern Ocean before. It also seems a little fishy that this is being heavily promot…

I hadn't even thought of tab tiling as a feature I might need until now. Just took a look and seems incredibly useful!

I remember trying that with an old account a few years ago (suggesting your solution of just hiding the username) and was denied. Maybe things have changed since then though.

Have a scan through the homepage. I often find the same few people posting broad questions over and over again to generate engagement. On top of that I feel most of the article tit…

A US company can be compliant. They just have to host EU user data in the EU.

The latest version of iOS/HomeKit has 'adaptive lighting'. You select that colour option and it will modify the temperature automatically throughout the day. You have very little m…

If you're interested in what this might sound like (spatial audio) the announcement video uses it. To watch it you need to be using your iOS device + AirPods: https://music.apple.c…

Agreed, I thought that was implied in my comment but reading back it isn’t. I disagree that going above your boss first would lead to getting fired though (again with the exception…

I find this attitude to be the same as kids not telling on the bully because it’ll make things worse. The guy lost a four figure bonus for no sane reason. Keeping quiet isn’t going…

I find it hard to believe that people can complain about the _concept_ of ATT with a straight face. All that is being asked of you is that you ask the user for permission to track …
