Three finger drag. That was the best and unique thing about apple touchpads since, like, early 2000s, but then it was buried deep down the menus and forgotten for some reason. But …

Settings - privacy - location services - system services - compass calibration. Make sure it’s enabled. In a bout of paranoia I disabled location for everything I didn’t recognize …

Anecdotal evidence: timezone-aware precision might be only necessary for those pushing it to very edge of the allowances, but travel log spreadsheet was very very real for me, and …

No need for notifications even, you can literally hear latency varying up to 30 seconds by listening for cheers during important game in a block of flats on a warm summer night.

Any chance I could be contacted too please? username at gmail. I used to find my niche in contracting for banks always actively seeking the opposite of “greenfield” projects (usual…

I'm your typical Whatsapp on iPhone user from Europe who's here just for a good drama, but blimey if this guy's rhetoric isn't sooo repetitive and cringey now. Like, my dude, it wa…

I'm getting somewhat noticeable (once every few weeks) phishing attempts on Telegram and Instagram, less frequent on WhatsApp. On Instagram they sit unobtrusively in "requests" and…

I was always curious if Airpods are any better in this regard. Have they implemented some better bi-directional profile there?

Uptake of updates is, uptake of devices isn’t. Here I have 1st gen retina iPad from 2012 which is on the latest iOS available for it - 9.3.5 (from 2016, current version is 17.1.2).…

It's a pun (a wordplay). Garum is fish sauce widely associated with ancient Rome and Greece.

Looks like UK (any non-US perhaps?) model still has it.

That goes for any "unconventional" outdoor sports really (i.e. anything that's not footy or horses). North is always up for crazy random shit, but good luck explaining paddleboardi…

Linguistic sources say that svet/svit/light/sunrise/world and videt/see/meet have completely different proto-indo-european roots - kweyt and weyd respectively. So nice theory, but …

It would look like lots of new devices NOT shipping in 2022 with micro USB (and even mini USB!) and HDMI and barrel power connectors. But unfortunately they still do.

And once again this article ignores the fact that biggest threat to Bialetti's own sales are not other ways to brew, but clones. Simplicity of the design means copies are just as g…

Not everyone out there even truly understands what it does and when it works well. Yet many people are just really gullible to marketing when it happens to push right buttons like …

Don't worry, all that's not getting widely used anyway. Cool startups don't touch Java anyway, and places like banks are still firmly at Java 8. My current employer is somewhat pro…

Eastern Europe already checked in, but I thought I'd add yet another anecdote. In St Petersburg, Russia the only GSM provider had luxurious free 10 seconds, and $0.40/minute after …

Looks like a Cyprus registered entity for Russian owned Switzerland headquartered company. No Korea in sight. https://efiling.drcor.mcit.gov.cy/DrcorPublic/SearchResults.... https:…

I keep hearing this mantra of "same environment". But is it really ever the same? One of my previous workplaces insisted on everyone having bloody openshift locally, so your dev en…

It's a UK thing. Local shopping is pretty much extinct here (not just bikes, anything). If you want stuff, you get it online, full stop. Even, more increasingly, food. So local hob…

Seems like a literal translation of Russian idiom meaning “skimmed through the text”.

In reality enterprise users on have zero chances seeing WSL2 on their PCs in foreseeable future. Last two banks I worked for ran windows builds 1703 and 1803 respectively, more pro…

This was the default rule in Russia until very recently. Most (but not all) of roundabouts had yield signs on each entrance essentially enforcing “normal” rule, still it’s an utter…

On the other hand consider this: suppose you’ve built retail business out of your house, then it grew well. And now all those conveyor belts come in very handy, right? Sometimes pr…
