How many people didn't bring it to a store and instead thought "Ah my phone is slow, thats what happens when they get old, the new one is meant to be way faster"

You don't know how much time you have less though. You could last 30 minutes on the home screen or you could go flat instantly when you load a 60fps video.

>The reason is technical, so it's hard to communicate this in a way that all consumers can understand "The battery in your iphone has degraded. Phone performance will be lowered to ensure stability. See an apple store or visit

On the other hand, you knew these restrictions before purchasing it and still continued with the transaction. I understand both perspectives here but I don't think one is objectively right.

This would be huge because Safari is missing so many APIs and leaves users on an unusable browser when they stop getting OS updates.

Do people really use OSM for POI data on any meaningful scale? I tried really hard to use OSM but all the apps were really bad. OSMAnd seemed like the best one but it was super slow rendering on my phone while everything else was snappy. Th

Leaflet JS is a generic library that works with mapbox and other tileserver apis. So yes you actually could do this trivially right now. The API to tileservers is trivial, you provide a URL template and request the tile with the x/y&#x

Does OSM continuously get better faster than it gets worse? A few years ago I started contributing heavily to OSM and found that a lot of the data was out of date or missing. I made some really good maps of my local area but now a few years

You aren't buying a phone when you buy the librem 5. You are funding the development of open source phones so there will eventually be a v2 and v3 which are better value for money when the hard work was done in v1.

Well they provided us with macbook airs which easily last an entire day of usage unplugged.

Real color eink is a hack too. Its multiple colors with the same magnetic polarity but in different sizes and the display is able to pulse the fields to select the color but its super slow and the colors can blend together a bit. All of the

The only device that I don't have this issue with is my logitech mouse which gets 70 days on a single charge. It shows a red light on the side when its at about 2 days charge left and I usually remember to plug it in when I leave for l

16 second refresh is a complete nonstarter for a note taking device. Its only good enough for a desk calendar screen. I'm not sure how much more can be done since these color e paper displays are basically a hack which doesn't sca

Just saying on the website or somewhere else officially that being able to ssh in is a feature and not something they just left there and may remove later would make the device a lot more attractive.

I can't count the number of times I have seen a new product or bit of software and though immediately "That sounds like a horrible idea, how useless" And then later eventually trying it and liking it. Asking customers what th

This was a private school and the macbooks were school supplied (from your fees of course)

My school had a policy of no chargers at school due to safety regulations (Fires/tripping) so the macbook air made an excellent choice.

The problem with multi day battery life is you never get in to a routine and you get caught out every time. I had a pebble watch which had a 10 day battery life and almost every 10th day it would go flat on me mid day or I'd get a warn

The macbook air is probably the worst machine you can think of for gaming. Even without the M1 you won't have a great time. Its the perfect machine for students because it can last all day in a browser and word.

I'm guessing they also want devs of tools like docker to finish porting their software before they switch the rest of the macbooks over.

Well that CPU has 16 cores / 32 threads while the M1 has 4 high power cores and 4 low power ones.

The browser can still see everything and still cache whatever it wants. Safari and likely others are turning off cross site caching anyway.

I think its any macbook that has a T2 chip which only came out somewhat recently I think.

Its more than that, You can't wipe it at all until you log in with the apple account it was connected to. Rendering a stolen laptop effectively bricked and only useful for parts.

The open source section of Gitlab is very powerful and perfectly usable on its own.

Github lets me instantly jump in and contribute to a project with an issue report without having to sign up to a mailing list. I hate mailing lists with a passion because they spam my inbox with rubbish. Yes I know you can automate filterin
