Are you the man who helped work on the new Apple file system / spotlight after working on BeOS' filesystem? If so, thanks!

I celebrated your reply. (No, I don't know what "celebrate" is meant to mean either! It's daft!)

I must seek these out then! I avoid YouTube a lot as its noise I don't need in my life, and I hate the "facial reaction" / pointing thumbnails, or thumbnails with arrows, all designed to make you look.

I wonder what the solution to this problem is?

It did. The Internet has always had awful views on it, because it was used by humanity, who also had awful views on things. What is a hatred of the Internet seems to be a hatred of humanity or at least its ability to freely express itself.

I had a Motorola Atrix and Lapdock years ago, and wished that concept had taken off. The phone was lacking in performance which made it difficult to use in "laptop" mode. The modern phone I have is a "cheap" Xiaomi POCO

Emphatic gestures are one thing and descriptive gestures are another. But gesturing for the sake of gesturing is the irritating part. You see it a lot on YouTube videos where people are talking to the camera and they're waving their ha

What are you doing on your laptop that this could replace? A functioning tactile real keyboard is not something to be trivially dismissed.

Perhaps they'll dedicate one screen to advertising so that you can't scroll past them? The horror

I think it's always been the way they talk. When they were introducing Apple News, they were talking as if the fonts and colours were something absolutely revolutionary and talking about the "beautiful typography" and breatht

Which country is this? In the UK they take your licence off you straight away as soon as there is a dementia diagnosis, I believe.

But did you notice at the time that it sounded chronically awful? Cymbals and hihats sound like someone eating with their mouth open.

Very informative, thanks. Nothing is undervalued here in the UK.

Same here. Seems they love AI-generated nonsense ads!

Pity it still departed for London after the notice had been affixed.

Did you have a lot of savings or something for this? I suppose the closest the rest of us can do is see if we can work part time and make use of longer weekends to go on exploratory trips, or paid holiday (if you work for a company) to go o

And yet, the prequels are still miles better than the sequels! Episode III was pretty good despite filming in 2K.

I believe the next step will be from Douglas Adam's "Dirk Gently" book where an electric monk exists to believe things for you, to save you the effort and "bother" of having to have religious belief. It's very

At least it saves them asking you now, I guess? There's no way to win in that situation anyway - if you said "yes I think it'd look great!" and then they went and got their hair cut to match your suggestion but didn&#x27

Because the mother's joy should hinge on the actual photo of the actual event of the actual person, not a fictional imaginary event or fake childhood of their child. The experience of being human should be tethered to reality.

It would use far less energy to make the bed too, and help preserve Earth's future by avoiding needlessly expending energy.

I think it depends on who your friends are, and/or culture. I was in France the other month and walking down to the river in Saumur, I noticed an area serving drinks (out of an old converted bus) with lights and suchlike (opposite the

But the general usage of Excel is so negligible in terms of using its actual features that it can be easily replaced. In my experience, non-basic formulas are beyond 99% of people and they use it simply for adding stuff up in a grid. This

Yes. It's about filtering out all the endless noise I think.

I don't understand why people talk about "the internet" as if it was a static thing. The internet when I grew up using it prior to the dotcom bust in the late nineties and early two thousands was a set of GeoCities websites w

Same here. I use a MacBook M3 for work and it's nice (still on Sequoia though - new macOS looks horrible) but I also have my own 2012 MBP still working and running (recently taken out of the cupboard due to my Lenovo dying) with Linux

I'm baffled why anyone would think you wouldn't be able to record multi track audio on a modern laptop with SSDs as if it was a difficult task. I had an Alesis HD24 once and that recorded 24 tracks on hard disks, not SSDs.
