    I might be able to help you with that. Whilst holding Meta (Windows key), try left and right-click-dragging on a window. Left-click-drag moves the window, right-click-drag resizes …

    There is more nuance to this. Let me give you a better example that actually happens — SSDs. Manufacturer will tell you some miniscule amount of specifications, such as that the dr…

    Uuh, I am not sure. I believe that he was talking about having full disk encryption which means that he needs to input the password to unlock the boot partition.

    That's a valid point. I feel for you. Similar thing has happened to a friend because of his dorm roommate torrenting some ... not linux isos illegal stuff. With that said, I still …

    Agreed, I have personally come to the same conclusion. I do not encrypt the drives in my home desktops and servers so that the recovery/migration is easier when the time comes. The…

    The chat interface has the disclaimer "AI responses may include mistakes." and that appears to be enough to relieve them of any responsibility for the responses. In a similar manne…

    It is not very encouraging that most of the marketing materials on the website show the Googlebook having filleted (rounded) edges similar to Macbook Neo, but the video shows the l…

    Your comment was surely well meant, but you could have plainly stated that the article author is a seasoned reporter instead of the snarky reply. GP might be incorrect in stating t…

    Both can be right, unfortunately. People do not report stuff, but when they do, it tends to get ignored. I have personally stopped reporting feedback to Apple because my tens of bu…

    I think this practice is rather blatantly what you say. The same thing with HDMI forum folding HDMI 2.0 into HDMI 2.1. They made the new 2.1 features optional, therefore manufactur…

    1. Yes, you hit the nail on the head. It basically requires people to be more cognisant of this. However, I think telling people to break stuff out into intermediary variables is m…

    I whole-heartedly sympathise with the problem author is trying to describe. He does not introduce it very well, but if you read through the whole thing, you should be able to get t…

    I think your take is overly negative. Regardless of what they think, sharing ones experiences with others is how we advance, both as individuals and as a community/mankind. Talking…

    > "Balanced" always seems to mean "give equal time and space to each side". I agree with you that this seems to be the idea people have when "balanced" is mentioned. I don't think …

    I think you are misunderstanding the point of journalism. It can be debated whether the title should be such a question. Nevertheless, the article should just present information, …

    I don't really see your point. The chips mentioned do not have enough bandwidth on display outputs to support the monitor at 6K@120Hz. If anything, I find it surprising that Apple …

    I recall that the official setting was everything grouped or everything ungrouped. What GP is referring to is probably the ability to break out a single window from a group.

    If you are using MacOS, unfortunately, your issue is that you are using a 1440p monitor, not an issue with any one program. Apple has removed support for font rendering methods whi…

    Have you encountered any that work like this? In my small sample (n~5, Europe), all capacitive cooktops turn off whenever you spill something on the controls.

    Unfortunately, no. When you reverse the polarity, the adhesive is left on the housing instead of the battery. iFixit has shown it in a video [0]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?…
