This is very on point. While I am not legally trained in US law, and especially not in any Middle Eastern law, I have a enough knowledge on the law in my country here where I live… Invoking force majeure requires the entity to prove all thr

For the first time in years I will upgrade early. Apple Support required me to update to iOS 26 back in November or else they refused to troubleshoot an iCloud issue. The issue remains to this day and I regularly regret upgrading. But it se

My estimate is very much anecdotal as well, but at my office alone there are three iPhone mini users than (used to be four until they switched job), only one AirPods Max user. I think this year I have only seen one other person wearing them

Unfortunately the answer is ”it requires effort”, or in other words: Vote (and hold them accountable after the ballots have been counted), Shout (literally), Protest (including civil disobedience), join any civil or environmental movement,

I’m willing to bet that the minis made Apple more profit than the AirPods Max and their display business combined.

By that logic the US independence war (1775-1783) was not a ”war” either because the colonies were part of England. Neither were the war of 1861-1865 between the northern and southern states. Can’t be at war with yourself?

Not entirely. Because where would I configure the location of the SQLite location/connection then? Given what I know about it (single file, no auth, and such by default) I sort of understand the ”file” part I think. But not the ”config

Like what? That my browser (Firefox) has no problem displaying the content with good contrast, font size, line height and so on?

Ticks all the boxes for readability for me: + good contrast + good size + good line height + adjustable line width And so on. On the negative side, it’s a bit ugly.

They can easily implement a large no-fly zone across Europe, as demonstrated with Eyjafjallajökull in 2010.

Two thumbs up for bringing numbers. Though I would like to see which dates were used to calculate them. And if it was from ”first day to last day of office” it would also be interesting to calculate with a certain ”lag” to account for the f
