Honestly, I expect from a web page to be shitty. I'm surprised when some web page aren't slow, unresponsive, or doesn't distract me with million designer quirks. My expectations are different with mobile apps. If I'm spe

Google killed Google Reader because of Google+, if I remember correctly. To push people towards the new platform, where stories should be shared. Well... that worked.

Like Google is doing on YouTube and their main site? What you'll say if GitHub loading times are 5x faster on Edge than on Chrome and Firefox [1]? I don't want to be Microsoft apologist, but Google is doing this shit for years, an

I can't say anything about Linux on XPS 13 because I didn't tried it, but for build quality... that's questionable. In my small company we have horrible failure rate with XPS 13 (seven of eight had some problems, from failing

There's two problems with that story: first, the famous switch from PowerPC to Intel happened when the desktop was the king, and app developers had strong incentive to recompile programs to the new platform. Right now? Not so much. Sec

Except Dell's QA is an utter shit. Around here we have eight XPS 13, two XPS 15, and only one XPS 15 and one XPS 13 didn't had any problems. From stuck fan to failed SSD or the computer that just won't wake up.

Even if Apple is dominant, there's no law on this planet that says "you can't make your products from parts you make".

Same here. I bought Nexus 4 back in the day (February 2013). Couple of months later, I've got iPhone 5 from my company. Google's support for Nexus didn't lasted a year, if I remember correctly. I switched it on Cyanogen and g

The problem is - when the battery is bad, the phone will shutdown even if the gauge says 60% or so, and that isn’t obviously “low power mode”. Source: saw it happening on my daugher’s iPhone 6, a year or so ago. To be clear: I’m not apologi

There's third party solution for iOS build automation - https://fastlane.tools . I didn't tried the whole end-to-end solution, but pieces I tried worked very well.

Heh, it's funny how "no issue at all" is a flexible thing. Not talking about your case, maybe you really don't have any issues, but recently I had sort of revelation - I spent good part of my professional life (20+ years

If I'm expecting to stop more than few seconds, I put my car in neutral. Every time. For last, let's see, 28 years since I have my driving license.

Oh, come on. Just a quick search "usb c to usb a" on Amazon gives lots of options. This [1] is two compact adapters for $8. Buy couple of these, put it on every cable you're using and you're golden. [1] https:/&#x2

Even better - we should ditch color monitors altogether. You know, to be edgy and different.

QHD+ (3200x1800) is, IMHO, absolute overkill on 13" screen and have only one purpose - to show "mine is better than yours" numbers in the spec list. As a comparison, MacBook Pro, the laptop that invented "retina" la

The dongle is $9. Considering typical Apple prices, that's not much. I doubt that will be a big new revenue stream for Apple.

I'm on Developer branch, so maybe it's different in the "normal" version. When you open the start page, on the upper right corner you have a config button. Among other options there was "Speed Dial" check box.

I love Swift dearly - I spent two years in Objective C land, after 8 years of C# and 10-ish years of C++ pain, and started using Swift day to day from Swift 1.2. But the current version have one big gaping hole: generic protocols are utter
