   Hey, that's my thread! In case anyone's wondering, I ended up with a $25 Nook Simple Touch. If you just want the screen and no touch capability, then look through the rest of the thread. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to p

   I would guess that Android would be the easiest, since you can make your own lock screens and also root it. But I wouldn't know where to start. There's no specific reason this shouldn't be possible, but it's simply not i

   Was just about to suggest the Moto G. A computer science class in high school (we paired up with a tech school) used these phones as a class set. Solid build, not too expensive, good stock experience, not-noticeably-bad performance.

   I like how it drops down at the beginning of the year when people make new year's resolutions but then climbs right back up.

   I think they're trying to fight for the iPad Pro in some respect. Though they won't endorse programming on it, they will benefit from more automation systems on the iPad making it into a more viable alternative to the general purp

   Mostly by URL scheme. Each app can provide any number of url schemes like workflow: or app-settings: or etc. Then they can use data from that URL or the clipboard.

   But if it's not supported, they can't pass it on to the tech team; that would be against policy. Changing policy to make companies support unsupported software is a hard sell.

   I think I'm starting to see the same problem with a pair of mine. Once I started keeping track it hasn't happened again though…

    I have not found a pair of earbuds this comfortable with decent audio quality. I don't go replace them so often but they are nice earbuds.

    You can use Wine perfectly well on Mac, as far as I'm aware. I have used PlayOnMac (a wrapper of Wine) for Artemis Bridge Simulator and it works great. Though Wine is used more often on Linux, I think, so it may be more stable.

    If you set browser.showQuitWarning to true (also make sure browser.warnOnQuit is true; that should be default) it will show a dialog to confirm if you want to quit. But if you check the box "do not show next time" it will set brow

    Additionally you can use git.io to shorten any github.io or github.com link. It's not available on the website but their API also allows you to choose your own pronounceable name. Most names you could want are still available.

    Vim doesn't either. You have to use third party plugins.

    For whatever reason, their CSS overrides the vertical-align of a large number of elements (possibly all of them?) to "vertical-align: baseline;". Odd, to say the least.

    The website to MSYS2 was blocked by my high school's firewall. I think Cygwin used Sourceforge, which was arbitrarily filtered for badware risk. There were other ways of fixing that, but my point is… it'a good to have alternatives

    I think "[keyword]" is meant as a placeholder for either "Alexa" or "Hey Google".

    They were using Roman numerals. It's true that with Roman numerals and writing out the number using words, it's harder to forge. See https://m.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/49z4d6/why_did.

    I don't think the RPI 0 would work; last time I tried this, it wasn't able to work as both a USB client and host, and the only way to get it to do wifi is with a USB wifi adapter.

    I think these are made in preparation for high-DPI screens. The serifs are short enough that I couldn't see them all on my regular screen (particularly the right-hand serif on the lowercase 'w'). But on my phone I would be ab
