The bundling and unbundling cycle continues.

A new era of productivity tools by Microsoft is needed. All of their current tentpole products are just web versions of their old apps, and most of them are very annoying or slow o…

I knew I saw this on HN a couple days ago. I figure that's what "inspired" this article, though it doesn't really have any more detail than the tweet thread...

I'll second you, this page is a fantastic resource.

I bought a physical copy when it was released a couple of years ago. I've recommended it a few times; I think it's worth reading for anyone who hasn't spent much time writing actua…

Dropbox is great, but their app? Not so much these days. This is absolutely awesome. Now can someone do this for OneDrive? As bad as we might complain about the new Dropbox app, On…

I'd take a look at Nest.

Yes, technically it is, but it's the integration that makes it interesting. Plus theres the simple reality that Microsoft's got native APIs in Windows that enable running a linux v…

This is amazing on a technical level and a kind of horrifying all at the same time.

While it looks dated, SL has a far more intuitive UI, in my opinion. I don't recall any major issues with this release. It seemed to "just work." Big Sur seems like a toy by compar…

This is a handy tool, big thanks to the dev who put this together. This is going to be an excellent educational tool. My only suggestion I have is to add links to the docs for the …

I used support via iMessage, and the support rep ran me through one reset cycle and basically said "that sucks" and got me set up with a return. This was approximately two weeks ag…

I had my left AirPod Pro replaced in the past few weeks. It was straightforward and effortless to get support via iMessage, and I got a replacement in 2 days. It seemed a bit too e…

Most shareholder resolutions are total jokes that get rubber-stamped by the large fund managers/executives and large individual shareholders who actually vote their shares. Despite…

$66mm initial cost, so just short of a 20 month ROI. That's impressive.

The vast majority of those are placeholder titles until the keynote is over. That way any titles or descriptions don't give the game away.

Why is every security exploit or bug getting a name, marketing website, and branding? This one even has a song... What?

I've noticed similar trends. With SSDs and all metal designs with very few moving parts, I would have thought these devices would be much more durable. Instead, we're breaking the …

I've only had a few issues with my 15" 2017 MBP, mostly dust and dirt easily fixed with compressed air. That said, I never had a problem with any MBP keyboard before this machine. …

The more we learn about the Giza Pyramids, the more they look like some technological device. I highly doubt the common "understanding" that their designed use was a fancy mausoleu…

I can't believe nobody else brought this up sooner. This was my first thought.

As an Arq user, the honesty and openness are greatly appreciated. Hopefully, nobody has gotten bitten by this issue when attempting to recover data.

Form over substance, as usual with large bureaucracies. Unfortunately, tech seems to view the biggest and most "successful" company as the model way to move forward, instead of thr…

That's really impressive, I'll definitely be testing out Vultr for my next project. Great work.

Sounds like a solid provider, I'll give them a try with my next small project. Especially for that price.
