Apple's fear of proper I/O strikes again. Forcing customers to use a shitty JUKEBOX app to manage all the content (including applications) on a handheld Unix computer was embarrassing on day one. But after a decade... and then mor

So the takeaway is that more than zero but fewer than six cups is better than none or greater than six cups? We need to know whether this means real cups for the bullshit "cups" commonly used to measure coffee were used in the stu

I love how a couple of its designers downvoted that simple question.

This was really the best design. The metal one that was a big clip.

Is this for the POS one that had no controls at all?

They talk about piracy "services," which is not your normal torrent user presumably. I guess it's Popcorn Time and the like, which makes it somewhat easier for the general populace.

All the Atmos PR and descriptions talk about "objects," but they never say how those objects' sounds are separated from the others' in the datastream. How can, for example, 56 waveforms be carried independently in one st

My dad has Parkinson's and has very poor-quality sleep. He also has had anti-snoring surgery in the past, and chronic post-nasal drip (which I also seem to have). This article raises questions in my mind as to whether any of these are

The problem is that the removal of parking requirements typically doesn't address the parking-lot scenario depicted here. It's often a developer handout that results in a degraded standard of living for existing residents in the n

My organization uses Square for payment processing. I think they've been moribund for some time. We have a Square card reader (a current one, which reads card chips and NFC), but their own software still doesn't support it. I mean

No video input, no dice. This thing could have been useful on day one for lots of people, from drone operators to cinematographers to programmers. But Apple's sad fear of I/O has crippled yet another product. People should expect

Thanks! I don't rely on just the connector, though; that curved piece of plastic against the back of the phone supports most of its weight. I have to swap the 30-pin cord out for a Lightning connector. I have Apple's 30-pin-to-Lig

I have one and have tried it quite a few times, being very careful to follow whatever procedure I'd been shown. To me the coffee has always tasted burned. But... I buy much better coffee now. It is fun and I like the ceremony, so I&#x2

Well now all of a sudden "clutter" is supposed to be in. This is symptomatic of declining taste across the board... which actually means the trend of celebrating shitty taste, which has always existed in plentitude.

'96 Cobra here. The only touchscreen in it is on my phone, for which I built a dock. Nothing else was or is needed. https://imgur.com/a/VnXFA3d

Relax. He didn't lash out in fury at their existence. He just said he doesn't like their appearance. Did you design it or something?

When my parents were selling their house, their realtor told them they needed to paint a bunch of stuff grey because "that's what Millennials want." Now we mock everything grey as "Millennial grey."

Wow, what a misguided and dumb "solution." If they're going to be that controlling, at least they could have enforced a truly helpful set of aesthetic guidelines.

The problem with LEDs is the massive increase in light pollution they cause.

What a monumental waste of whatever they're putting into it. This guy is an absolute zero as a candidate. If he were someone with any pull, charisma, or chance... it would still be a questionable undertaking. But Philips? Dumb.

"Runners?" I've been working in software development for a long time, and currently write mobile apps... but I've never heard this term. Now hurry and flag this totally innocuous observation again.

Somebody downvoted that acknowledgment. Sad.

Actually, I thought he was referring to the archaic "tube"-shaped logo itself. So... my bad, I guess!

You're simply confirming what I said, including the fact that the previous iterations suffer from the same defect and should be pulled from service. And nobody is demanding that Boeing redesign the cockpit. This entire fiasco was to co

Thanks for the rundown. What's the basis of the perceived annoyance though? What was the district court supposed to do differently?

"The ability of firms to "price gouge" is evidence of monetary inflation" Where do you get that? It's far more likely evidence of monopoly/oligopoly power.

Except you couldn't say HOW it's a mischaracterization.

What I find disappointing is that media outlets have failed to jump on the fact that, right before all the latest shoddiness was discovered, Boeing requested a safety exemption for another problem with these planes: https://www.s
