Apple is definitely not the worst in this regard, but the most recent version of iOS to support the iPad 3rd generation (the device we are discussing which is being used as a PDF r…

The homelab and professional editions have lifetime licenses available - I didnt notice them in the pricing section but there’s a link to them in the FAQ

I use an iPhone, and my Messages app is using 72GB at the moment (and it would be a lot more if I hadn’t lost all my history about 5 years ago). The issue is that extended family m…

Nitpick: "tenets"

Flights seemed to be one of the use cases they talked about being an amazing immersive experience even though you’re physically confined to a (usually) small seat. What about it di…

Am I wrong in thinking that checkboxes/tickboxes/whatever-one-calls-them are ubiquitously understandable across cultures from both an interpretation and interaction perspective? If…

I pay ~$440 a month for two vehicles. My buddy in PA thinks it’s because I live in New York.

I believe in some states this is required.

Worth noting that these won’t work with the usual garden variety USB-C hubs sporting USB-A ports; instead, you need to use an adapter as opposed to a hub[0] - maybe because of powe…

What I do is buy a smart TV, never connect it to the network (thus making it a dumb TV), and plug an Apple TV (or other devices) into it. So far, this has worked - I haven't seen a…

Penn & Teller did an episode years ago where they tried to debunk the claim that there was any difference between tap and bottled water. They colluded with a New York City restaura…

They tackled the subject for sure, but my takeaway from that blog posting is not that storing your TOTP tokens in 1Password is “as good as” having separate hardware devices for pas…

Where I live (New York), plumbers, carpenters, electricians and other contractors absolutely expect to be tipped. I’m not originally from the US, but I don’t get the impression tha…

When you install Rectangle, it has an option to mimic Spectacle’s keyboard shortcuts (if I recall correctly) which I thought was a really thoughtful touch.

AT&T 4 lines (2 adults 2 kids) x $40 each + taxes = ~$200 per month, $2400 per year. This is unlimited data, text, minutes - we used to have a data cap, but the worry about the kid…

Didn’t know this - true as of MySQL 8.X. I would say “shocking” if it wasn’t in keeping with a number of dubious decisions made over the years. We are using MySQL, but thankfully a…

This sort of thing is not limited to Chevy/GM. The new 2023 BMW i7 (starting price ~$120K, fully loaded ~$160K) comes with options for a massive fold-down widescreen cinema in the …

Does anyone else have an undismissable ad obscuring a significant portion of the screen on mobile, making reading the text very irritating if not borderline impossible? It’s worse …

Yes, but as a designer/developer, it would be useful to know if there’s a CSS/HTML/Javascript solution when your target audience includes a significant number of iOS users who will…

By default, clicking the power/side button 5 (not 10) times starts a countdown to dial emergency services. If you don’t cancel the countdown, it calls emergency services for you. E…

We use RQ[0], it has Redis as a dependency. It’s pretty straightforward and we’re very happy with it. If you are using Django you may want to look at Django RQ[1] as well. RQ has b…

This article finally made me do today what I've been putting off for no good reason: buy Sublime Text licenses for all our devs that use it. We've been talking about switching to V…

I guess they want compatibility/password sharing between Chrome on Mac, Windows and Linux, which I can understand.

I do not live or work in SV, but it's kind of interesting to me that this comment has no responses. Is that because what the parent states as being true is not actually the case, o…
