That's right. Just like current macOS is not "Unix-like" or a descendant of Unix, but an actual Unix operating system, modern birds are actual dinosaurs. Wikipedia quote: Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute

Why does it have to be poison? Wouldn't having an airport nearby be a blessing for anyone with solar panels on their roof? Just like an industrial zone, it'd be a nonstop load ready to buy from anyone, anytime. (Yes I understand t

Carbon neutral synthetic fuels might make sense for airliners, because they're already pretty efficient, reliable and incomprehensibly powerful and there's tons of other stuff in them that'd require maintenance even if you to

This is more about day to day operations than emergencies. For an electric plane, your MTOW (max takeoff weight) is equal to your MLW (max landing weight). An ICE plane can take off with "bonus" fuel that it can't land with f

Surprisingly enjoyable. Make sure to stay for the phone conversation about mining. I usually don't take messages about mobile performance seriously, but this does bring even A15 Bionic devices to their knees. I wonder whether it's

I’m not sure if you’re disagreeing with me, so I’ll expand on the previous post: most commercial flights cruise at altitudes where it’s not allowed to fly without autopilot. Not for honing the pilots’ skills, not because of a malfunction. T

Probably not the actual cruise (30k+ feet at M0.7+), but definitely some of the nicer approaches and departures. Hand flying an airliner in cruise within the tiny strip of air it’s allowed to fly in (google Reduced vertical separation minim

That’s intentional, it allows the plane to do minor speed adjustments without altering engine speed that much by wandering a bit above and below the set altitude. The autopilot mode is called ALT CRZ (as opposed to just ALT).

Ad iOS: The Files app won't let you see the whole filesystem (and unlike on Mac there's no way to escape the jail), and the app itself is pretty anaemic, but it is possible to, for example, download a bunch of files from the web,

Tbh I have to stare at my smartphone keyboard or else I make a lot of typos. And about the button, it's not even that it takes up space or looks that bad, it's about the principles. In my world, you just don't put useless cra

Easy with the big words. All of that really depends on whether you're B2C or B2B, what kind of app it is and what kind of client. There's a company that has my code (Rails apps) running on Ubuntu Server VPSes with one guy who pick

Swiping is a blessing on iPhone Mini, but it's not available in my language for some reason. Multilingual input, I can just start typing in English or Czech and two words in, the keyboard knows. And even for normal tap-typing, the accu

I’m not sure how to tell you, but if I’m looking for a phone from a company that destroys the planet a bit less than the others, that cares about security a bit more than the others and that values my privacy a bit more, Apple offering such

That’s easy, the whole Europe is 230 V at 50 Hz and basically the same plug (except I think Switzerland and the UK).

My Aqara smart plug says it can handle 2300 W, which should be okay for the kind of dryers sold in Europe (apparently the new ones are mostly sub 1000 W).

Similar sentiment like in the “Jobs said MS had no taste” top level comment. Putting tabloid ads in the most sacred part of your most famous product ever is the exact opposite of making the bottom of your laptop or the back of your desktop

That’s why you probably don’t use many Apple devices, which is totally cool. I on the other hand, expect something that I look at, touch and use literally for half of my waking hours to be as “tasty” as possible. It’s actually one of the mo

But doesn’t the nagging make sense if you’re already using iCloud sync for Photos (so you’re obviously interested in the functionality) but running out of the free (trial basically) space? The badges are crap, yes.

There are places in macOS where Apple really makes sure that you do know about iCloud and do consider subscribing, but it’s still nowhere near what Microsoft does, and it feels more like someone offering you an optional dessert after lunch

There are quite a few solutions for this. You can do your work stuff in a VM that you just turn off and it's gone for the rest of the day. You can get a second computer for non-work programming. Or if you don't need that much comp

I can't say anything specific about the accuracy, other than that it's good enough, but the difference between asking GPT-4 and googling the same question is night and day. And that's comparing it to Kagi, with my own search
