> Roku hardware and UI is superior to anything on the market. I have to agree. I've used Apple TV, and while its UI is fancier, it lags, crashes and just doesn't have the same "erg…

The 1st edition is already "sold out". Reserving the AWD Pro S Gradient, a $49,675 car, is $100. So I suspect the 1st edition was around that same reservation cost. Too low. Everyo…

> Cover art is no longer useful for music discovery or intriguing fans when an album "drops". Those were UX/UI things last ... century. Now they aren't. They're vestigial embellish…

In the 2012 version of iTunes for iOS a user can flip the iPod Touch/iPhone horizontally to view cover flow. So I would I consider that a user choice. For everyone else, where albu…

> So they're aware that really most people don't really care any more. Unless you are on the Apple Music team and have access to some study how would you know that?

> Maybe album cover art is just less meaningful in the year 2021. Maybe cover art is less meaningful *to you*. FTFY. To the author it is meaningful. Today UX/UI teams are making de…

What is unclear from this article, and perhaps manufacturer specific, is if a vehicle has a telematics system but the owner does not have an active subscription is vehicle data sti…

Is the device running Android or something else? I understand this is marketed as a "dev kit". And I understand the cost benefit for shipping a COTS OnePlus phone to provide the ca…

If anything it sounds to me as if the comma provided a false sense of security. Drawing from experience driving 9 hours is already grueling. At hour 10, 11 or 12 would you have bee…

in these conditions would it make a difference?

Very little truth to what you wrote here. You can get into great universities with solid A’s. And you can certainly graduate from a state school with minimal to no debt.

There is certainly a problem with how teenagers are misinformed about college, and that education debit is difficult to discharge. However, I do agree that one should have little t…

Agreed. My comment was poorly worded as I did not intend to give advice.

> Just one hour of videoconferencing or streaming, for example, emits 150-1,000 grams of carbon dioxide (a gallon of gasoline burned from a car emits about 8,887 grams), requires 2…

Some articles found by googling [1] [2] from two years ago describe this capability as "ultrasonic watermark" so it is not new. I think this is coming to light as Zoom has become p…

I remember when Apple introduced MagSafe in 200. Personally I never had an issue with tripping over the power cable. I think USB-C w/ PD is better. I can connect one cable for powe…

What are some good tips to minimize the attack surface of my CI/CD tool?

What a laughable opinion. Who would break up Apple? The U.S. gov't? Assume they do, what is to stop Apple from moving operations overseas to evade the breakup. That would be a huge…
