For those menu item suggestions, if you long press them you should get the option to remove the preview/suggestion. That should at least make it not show up again in the app menu.

Until you start seeing times like 24:45 in your app. The spec has some really strange behaviour in it that defaults to "1-24"-hour time instead of the common "0-23" if you specify hour12: false. Only Chrome seems to have

In my last job we considered it was well (2.5-3 years ago I think), and decided it wasn't worth implementing the GraphQL server part for just a limited set of clients that could basically use a small set of REST endpoints. We were buil

This is not going to be fun for Ireland. Ireland doesn't have its own regional Amazon, but the UK one would have great fast shipping. I wonder if shipping from Amazon DE or FR will be more popular in the future.

This is still used for set-top boxes, at least in Belgium. It happens in the background now, but up until a few years ago when you first got one you'd only see the firmware downloader for an hour or two, with this block diagram where y

The album "Out Of Season" she did with Rustin Man is really good, all of her tracks on my 64K playlist are from that one.

One of my playlists is called "64K", after the seat I had on my first BA 747 flight two years ago, AUS>LHR, my second ever trip in Business Class. I prepared the music in advance to download it, all nice relaxing tracks (Aimee

I surfed through a Google network for a bit a few years ago, and it does reveal things. The most common was Drupal and WordPress sites with some malicious code running that would link to online pharmacies on every page, but only to Google u

It's one of the 'advantages' of having a relatively uncommon first name. Everyone knows who Elon, Adele, Beyonce and Barack are. I have an unusual first name and tend to go by just my first name, which works fine too. Sometim

In browsers at least, DRM doesn't work if your full page doesn't use HTTPS. The encrypted media extensions (EME) are only available on secure contexts, which means the page needs to be HTTPS. Segments are typically fetched with st

Netflix hasn't lowered resolutions, they have only reduced the bitrates at the same resolution. I'm still getting my Netflix in 4K HDR, but at ~10Mbps instead of the usual ~16Mbps. You can see it a little, but it doesn't both

I think the MMI interface, in one specific generation (the one just before they introduced the touchscreen, where the four-corner buttons were dropped), has one big advantage: you learn the amount of clicks things are away. It's been o

Don't be ridiculous. I work for a FAANG company and we get great but very standard Dell monitors that are all well below $1100.

Not strictly Danish but a Danish-Swedish co-production: The Bridge (Bron/Broen). There's a decent American remake but the original is incredibly good.

Could it be a limitation in thickness? Laptop display assemblies are thin, which means you need a very small lens and as a result probably can only fit a very small sensor. There's a lot more room for camera modules in phones.

Woops! Thanks!

For others who might be wondering, this replaces the 15-inch MacBook Pro. There's a small increase in size (15 vs 16): - Thickness: 1.55cm to 1.62cm (+0.7mm, +4.5%) - Width: 34.93cm to 35.79cm (+0.86cm, +2.5%) - Depth: 24.07cm to 24.59

Funnily enough, Apple did a design thing where they tried 'what would Sony do', and that design turned into the iPhone 4: https://www.theverge.com/2012/7/26/3189309/apple-sony-iphone...

The looks of recent iPhones/Pixels/Samsungs are what make me even more of a fan of Sony's smartphone designs than I already am. The Xperia 1 for example: https://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products&#x2F

If you upgrade and wonder why fonts in Chrome look just a little bit off, there's a bug in Chrome/ium (HarfBuzz). Most text will look a tiny bit too narrow, some text will be slightly too wide. Nothing major, but I noticed. (Also

Well, I would hope the engineers working on Netflix and Caraoke aren't the ones who are working on self-driving features. They seem like different enough things that they could be worked on simultaneously. Full self-driving is a long t

That is a limit placed on the receiver, I can't imagine that being hard to get around with a custom receiver or maybe even just customized receiver firmware.

Similarly, my Belgian ISP (Telenet) has WiFi home gateways that are configured by their web portal, and config is pushed by the ISP. I figured out that they only did validation on SSIDs client-side, so managed to get around that to put emoj

I've just embraced it. My real first name (Ambroos) is usually my username and I'm easy to Google with just my first name as a result.

It's pretty funny how this has basically the same ports (besides the USB C for charging) as my 2010 VAIO Z. VGA is the most surprising one to still see. I wonder what the reasoning behind that is. I can't really see them targeting

This has been widespread for the last week and a half, but nobody knows why. Unrelated to zoom.
