Honest question because I'm ignorant, but did any (well, many/most since I'm sure there are outliers) mainland Europeans think it would benefit the British? As an American generally uninformed on the manner, I only heard of p

I used to devour GamePro magazines (and was against Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) for some reason.) I also randomly received a free subscription to the print magazine "Internet Underground" which really opened up my world to som

In 2003 I was first unknowingly introduced to Takeshi Kitano on MXC on Spike. That fall in a Japanese film class I saw him in Sonatine which remains one of my favorite movies. Then in the spring of 2004 Zatoichi was released and I saw it

There are many hurdles but one of the biggest I see is that there isn't a common/market leading way for independent films to self-publish their films to an independent streaming service. Something like Steam but for films. I&#x2

I am a HUGE fan of the book "Fire In The Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer." I am an elder-millennial and it filled in a lot of gaps in the history of personal computing that I was too young to learn. Link: https:/

Yeah... It isn't that it doesn't sound like human speech... it just sounds like how humans speak when they are uncomfortable or reading prepared and they aren't good at it.

Freud has a book on jokes called "The Joke and Its Relation to the Unconscious" which I thought was pretty interesting (although I mostly read the first section which analyzed the technique of the joke and the tendencies of the jo

I used to have a lot of anxiety wondering if what my brain perceived as "Blue" was the same shade of "Blue" to other people. Like, sure, the sky is blue and a similar color to water for everyone.... but what if what I s

As someone who has to purchase rugged laptops for users at my job... Dell has nailed away with the Toughbook market for us. When I first started Panasonic was the only game in town but Dell saw the market size and has done a great job.

Dell's rugged line has a serial port standard AND gives you the option of having an additional serial port! Now if they would only make a 4 serial port version then we could hook up the jet engine software we have without an adapter..

My knee-jerk internet reaction was "YOU ARE CRAZY" but then I took a breath and looked at the photo and I can see your argument. There is no point in a runner learning with their left shoulder forward since it will be difficult t

I know that you said you don't want a premade kit and following instructions and this is *close* to that... but I think it might still be a great fit. Mark Rober has a new product where they ship a new robot every 2 months. They give

I am more guilty of this than anyone and I don't have any solid advice that has worked in the long-term so I'll be following this thread. That being said... in the short-term.... I'd suggest taking a break from the project fo

My parents were the Romeo and Juliette of green jello salad, bringing together both the "cherried" and "non-cherried" varieties. Whenever all of my grandparents were together they would each present their varieties to t

I'll have to look when I get home. It blows my mind because there was nothing stopping me from just... loading the websites.... I had the internet. But I was a kid/teenager and used the book for inspiration.

I have a printed book of "good" website design examples from the late 90's. It is an amazing time capsule. I also really wish there was an archive of AOL's homepages... My first website is lost to the digital abyss...

I'm leaning towards what you say even more for the next generation. Assuming our society doesn't fall apart... it seems safe to assume that digital purchases/assets will be an increasing portion of our economy going forward.

Yeah, that is why I included the note at the end. It is an important lesson for adults to teach children right now. I'm also working on teaching my daughter this lesson while we design/create our own "game" for fun on

Here are my thoughts I left as a comment on the blog: I've got ideas! As a parent of a toddler myself, I felt that comment about picking the color... For sure the most important. Anyways, here is a feature list of things you may have

Gotta check Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive. I would bet there is at least one overlap or misconfiguration there.

Just a heads up, this article is SEO clickbait for a backup app and a lot of the others might be as well.

Not person you responded to… but isn’t it safe to assume that iMessages are delivered to all devices on the account?

by JoblessWonder 3y ago
Not OP, but I believe it falls back to SMS if there isn’t a response from Apple’s servers, not the end user’s device. In this scenario the iMessages are sitting there waiting for a registered device to check in to send them to. (Same thing

As I mentioned in the previous discussion[1], users are going to have to put up with the system going down... and I just don't see that happening. From the article: "It was losing messages during the outage and never being entire

I feel like there are two questions Beeper needs to ask itself... 1) Are they going all-in on being an antagonist to Apple? 2) Will the users be willing to stick around during any outages/downtime/failures due to the cat-and-mouse

You are correct. There are a few websites you can use to see what various providers have your geo-ip result as. This is one I use and a few of them are very wrong: https://www.iplocation.net

I mean, depending on the data type... 45GB isn't really all that much. They probably have 45GB individual CAD files... Now, if it is 2,000,000 text files totaling 25gb, then that is harder to explain away. (I just read the article and

It is probably an odd thing to find because in SF they really are everywhere. I don't live in SF but visit a few times a year and after the first time I saw one they just sort of became part of the cityscape and not worth filming.
