Yes, but if you do not opt into overdraft, you will still be charged a “non-sufficient funds” (NSF) fee when the bank declines your transaction. And the NSF fee is usually higher than the overdraft fee. This doesn't make any sense and

Bell supports VoLTE on Lucky, but not WiFi Calling. They only offer it on the Bell and Virgin brands. It’s likely done purposefully so that customers in rural areas cannot use the flanker brand, and must instead stay with the more expensive

Let's be honest, the antibiotics and hormones are just an excuse to keep the foreign competition out, and keep prices high in the process. If the government really cared about protecting consumers, they would not care about the country

Wild and unfounded speculation: I feel that the thinness of the new iMac was not an explicit design exercise, but rather a consequence of bringing the M1 over to the desktop. Because of how powerful the M1 is, they were just able to recycle

Yep. It is quite good for some data that volunteers can provide from open data. Things like runway numbers, surface material and length.

Yes, exactly. This ruling doesn't change much. All it provides is that regional carriers will now be able to offer services outside of their service area with mandated roaming wholesale tariffs instead of private commercial agreements.

They usually claim that if people didn’t have to file their own taxes, they would not be aware of how much they are getting taxed. In their view, this would eventually make it very easy for the government to increase taxes without significa

This is an issue with all map services, really. I see the same thing happening on Google and Apple Maps, lots of places that are permanently closed haven't been updated yet.

This is a problem with all laptop batteries, not just Apple batteries.

This will break phone calls if your carrier does not support Voice over LTE (VoLTE), as the device will be unable to switch over to 3G to handle incoming/outgoing calls.

It was fixed in the first Release Candidate. Are you running the latest version?

MVNOs are unable to operate in Canada because the carriers mentioned above won’t let new entrants use their networks. It’s how they protect their oligopoly.

Isn’t iBeacon a passive technology, though? I don’t think the beacons are listening for any incoming client connection, they just blindly broadcast their identifier (UUID+major+minor IDs). Unless you are assuming an app might store the beac

It already does that! 1Blocker lets you specify a list of websites for which cookies won't be sent in the request headers. So I suppose the API indeed supports this feature.

One of them was LLOOGG: https://github.com/antirez/lloogg , which used to be at lloogg.com but it seems like the domain was not renewed. I remember using it on my personal website long before I had even heard of Redis,

The app is also extremely good at avoiding censorship, which I find highly ironic for a product made in China. I once tried to block TikTok at the DNS level, and I realized that if you block any of their DNS names, the app will start using

Nice, looking forward to trying this. The Electron-based Mac client uses way too much RAM for what it does.

Sure, very good idea, but it will never happen. It would lead to a dramatic drop in user engagement, and ultimately a decrease in revenue.

If it wasn't clear, I was just being sarcastic about Google's huge number of messaging products... I fully agree with your statement, their move totally makes sense from an IP protection standpoint.

To be honest, that's also because they probably want their employees to use one of their 37 different video-conferencing apps.

Not true. The iOS location history is encrypted and stored in your iCloud account with a key that never leaves your device. So it's quite different from Google's Location History: Apple stores it, but they cannot read it. And if y

You can add `--force` and zap will also work on non-brew installs. The paths are community-contributed, so watch out (you can print the paths with `brew cask cat <name>`).
