It depends on the printer. I’ve had pretty good luck with brother laser printers coming with full toner cartridges in the past, although my understanding is on many modern models that isn’t the case anymore. You definitely have to read the

I personally switched to firefox on my computers, with DuckDuckGo as my search engine both on computer and mobile. I already use iOS. Still use Gmail, don’t for see leaving it anytime soon, too much of a hassle to find a decent replacement.

And Lala let you match all your own music library and stream for free, just like the marquee feature of Google Play Music, but years ahead of time. Also they let you stream every song (that you didn’t already have) once for free, and then y

Seems like one of those phrases you only hear someone say offhandedly, and might not actually see written down. I can totally understand how it could be easy to mishear it somewhere along the chain of people who heard it from other people.

Take an old iPad and put it in a frame? Might be able to do it for $150 or less. This runs fine on my old iPad Air 2, possibly it works on even older devices?

From what I’ve seen in San Francisco, the biggest decreases in rents have been in the newer upscale construction in SOMA. There’s nothing to do in SOMA other than walking to your tech office job and most of the restaurants around there are

Visual Basic got partway there by having WYSIWYG user interface editing, but you still had to code all of business logic using the visual basic programming language. What I’m talking about is replacing the latter with something that is not

iOS allows key repeat from external keyboards, but not from the onscreen keyboard. In theory a third-party keyboard should be able to implement that, although I can’t say I’ve seen any examples of it.

Maybe no one‘s created a good touch interface for writing code yet. I feel like there’s actually opportunity to completely reinvent coding from something keyboard-focused to something more touch-friendly. At the very least for line of busin

Sure, it has existed for several years. But I’ve yet to drive a single car that supports it. By my understanding only super expensive high-end luxury cars support it, and even then it’s hit and miss. I’ve never seen it with my own eyes.

I remember this rolled out with an update to iOS, so it’s not purely carrier-specific. Apple changed something in the operating system to allow it.

Some states have different levels. In Colorado 85 is common. I assume it has something to do with the air pressure and oxygen content of the air perhaps?

At first impression, a claimed 19% improvement feels more trustworthy, more data-driven, rather than a 20% which might be written off as marketing fluff.

They say lower-TDP processor should be available within six months. I think that makes sense, AMD wants to make the marketing splash with really nice high numbers at launch.
