I can’t do the most basic of tasks on Apple Music on my Windows PC - I literally can’t play music! I’ve tried: - redownloading the app - deleting all local state in the Music folde…

I am exceptionally sour about this, as Prompt 2 just crashes on opening on my iPhone, has for some time, and now the 'fix' will be "Buy Prompt 3".

TP Link Omada works surprisingly well too.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/17/high-court-q... Prosecutions are basically unheard of, but it’s not legal nonetheless.

And not true - for example, format shifting in the UK is illegal. You can't legally rip a CD, DVD or Bluray here, let alone a console game.

And in contrast, I find Intel support to be very buggy, certainly on Linux.

Sadly not available in the UK - I'd quite happily take that as an option :/

I wish Ian Hislop would drop his opposition to doing a sensible online version - I'd happily subscribe for access to the same content posted online, but when I get it posted throug…

I like a style like: codebase section: short summary longer description if necessary eg: cocoaui: fix images being incorrectly aligned on high dpi displays We were calculating the …

Laptops have advantages though - for a remote team, they're often a lot more convenient. A lot of people don't have space for a full permanent desk setup for a work desktop on top …

These are fair points, and definitely a rough spot. Eg at work we use M1/M2 macs and dev on those using docker - so that’s a Linux VM essentially with some nice tooling wrapped aro…

Being Mac only can be an advantage - I’ve been on both sides of trying to maintain & use non-trivial dev environments and the more OSes you bring in for people to work on, the hard…

https://www.quora.com/Apple-company/How-does-Apple-keep-secr... Is very interesting reading on the x86 port of Mac OS.

I have a 35W AMD 5750GE (zen 3, 8c16t), along with M1, M1 Max and M2 Pro devices - the AMD processor and M1/M2 chips trade blows depending on workload. It’s absolutely possible to …

tulip is a set of DEC ethernet controllers that are from about the right time as your anecdote :)

Yeah - this is what happened to me too. I deleted my Reddit account because I don't want to support Reddit any longer, so I lose access to anything I used "Sign in with Reddit" for…

This! Adobe used to bundle Chrome by default with Acrobat Reader for instance. - this was how a LOT of people got Chrome the first time.

I remember getting this jump accidentally - I bought a M1 Mac Mini for porting stuff too and for testing, and building on it was twice as fast as my 2018 15" i7. And it was silent …

Thanks for this reminder, it’s a feature I didn’t know about!

I guess you can also draw similarities to the MS/IBM joint venture that was OS/2, but that actually released products - even if MS dumped it for NT.

The huge list of projects from that era of Apple really shows how aimless they were. I remember at the time how more and more irrelevant they seemed compared to the Wintel behemoth…

At work, the m1/m2 airs are exactly what we buy for most employees. The base spec is absolutely fine for most of our staff, and they’ll get 3+ years out of them. Edit: devs get 32G…

This sounds a lot like CAA records! https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6844

My UK based ISP provides static IPs by default (v4 & v6!). There's a few aiming at smaller niches that do. We're relatively unique compared to a lot of countries though, where we h…

Only 5 entries this time, so I favour poisoned data, personally. edit: it always shows random stuff every time this one comes up!
