    You can always hold an accelerometer in your hand. If you did so now, assuming you're on Earth's surface, it'd register approximately 9.8m/s/s pointing in the upward direction. You…

    Or, just don’t play the game. I don’t mean to be flippant, but why waste time on software employing shoddy practices? Wordle and Apple’s mini crossword-minis are sufficiently stimu…

    Respectfully, if I may offer constructive criticism, I’d hope this isn’t how you communicate to software developers, customers, prospects, or fellow entrepreneurs. To be direct, th…

    There are many things wrong with this. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and use it to capture HEIF 48 and ProRAW images for Lightroom. There’s no doubt of the extraordinary capabilities…

    They’re known as DNs, or digital numbers. Thom Hogan’s eBooks do a phenomenal job of explaining the intricacies of camera sensors, their architecture, processing to JPEGs, and pret…

    To be clear, they default to JPEG for the image preview on the monitor (LCD screen). Whenever viewing an image on a professional camera, you’re always seeing the resulting JPEG ima…

    I’ve submitted multiple bug reports over the years using the Feedback app. And, to my surprise, not only did I receive a detailed response within a month or so, the issues were res…

    You can disable the automatic handoff in the Apple TV settings. That drove me crazy as well.

    Arguably, the opposite is true. Ars Technica and others have written about this extensively [0]. Having summarized results appear immediately with links to the sources is preferabl…

    I used Spacemacs for years and recommend it to others. It was fantastic in the early days, but the stability seems to have diminished. I encountered more bugs over time that I'd ha…

    That's a common refrain, but an inaccurate one. Musk was heavily involved in the engineering efforts at SpaceX. NASA struggled to keep up with his continual and extremely detailed …

    I agree. I've used FSD v13 on a Model Y with hardware version 4 for a couple of months now. Checking my mileage, that's over 2,000 miles, most of which was with FSD enabled (road t…

    Apple has a pretty good trade-in program. If you have an Apple card, it's even better (e.g. the trade-in value is deducted immediately, zero interest, etc.). Could you get more mon…

    I realize this isn't your particular use case. But with newer iPhones, you can use USB-C directly for audio. I've been using the Audio Technica ATH-M50xSTS for a while now. The aud…
