I have tried that in the past but it didn't work. Undocumented workarounds like this don't age well over seven years!

Interesting product. 230g lighter with 10 hours longer battery life than an M1 Air. > In Europe it's 50% more expensive It's basically the same price in the UK. £84 more than an equivalent M1 Air on the Lenovo site right now.

Ooh! This could be a glimmer of a passion for me. Can you recommend any beginner guides or tips to get started? I've dabbled but get tied in knots overthinking the phrasing of a single sentence. I'd love to just get into a flow st

I have a reverb g2 - great for games but definitely not up to it for work - the sweet spot is just too small. If looking at a page of text, only the middle of 3 or 4 lines of text are in perfect focus. The rest might be readable but blurry.

I think their general plan will be to discourage/silence influential left-wing voices with enough cover to keep the majority of the audience for an emboldened right-wing. If thinking imaginatively, then the proposal framed as "$8&

When the context of the discussion is twitter moderation in the wake of Musk's takeover and who his team is, it's already political. For Yishan to pump up Sacks and his confidence in him to fix moderation, without acknowledging th

I think you have to be quite credulous to engage in this topic of "twitter moderation" as if it's in good faith. It's not about about creating a good experience for users, constructive debate or even money. It's ALL

The photograph of the art, which will be more recent, might have copyright protections. It looks like it wouldn't in the UK, probably wouldn't in the US but would in Germany. The cases seem to hinge on the level of intellectual cr

I use a window a bit bigger than a typical fiction paperback and a bit wider aspect ratio. I like a good bit of whitespace in the margin to help me concentrate. I don't want the text to feel crampt or my reading scanline to enter anoth

I use the Calibre e-reader with custom style overrides to get my preferred spacing, margins etc. It's ugly out of the box but doesn't require much tweaking to look like Apple Books if you know css. Works great on MacOs/Linux&

This is the reason I love ebooks on a proper workstation with a huge monitor. I can fit eight or more books open at once... but more likely 3 or 4 plus a web-browser and notes. I might have three copies of the same book open at once. One fo

One example should be enough to see a problem. Do you not see a problem of Apple denuding other platforms all independent applications? They've taken what... Siri, Shazam, NextVR, Dark Skies off other platforms. How would you quantify

So you are saying that folding in a cross platform company into the platform is a platform advantage... but not a concentration of market power? Apple changed the price of Dark Sky on other platforms to infinity but on it's platform to

For an elderly person, losing control or crashing on a trike is a low speed non-event. A car driving so dangerously, so recklessly, so without any care for humanity, to hit a slow moving bicycle is homicide. It's an outrage to ever sur

A platform buying up cross-platform apps and making them uni-platform really should be slam dunk anti-trust. It's obviously anti-consumer and concentration of market power.

Bicycles are amazingly mechanically efficient and very low effort unless going for speed or hills. I'd measure it relatively against the amount they sweat at rest/walking and sure, some people sweat even then.
