I‘m still baffled by this whole issue. Snooping around on users devices, goes against anything regarding privacy they seemed to stand for. It makes me sick to think this might even be legal. It is also sad they completely ignore any valid c

I find it disturbing that they seemingly are allowed to do things on the devices of their US customers, that in most countries are reserved to law enforcement agencies exclusively. Also I think they should have to face serious repercussions

Would be a perfect fit, if this was available on Heroku. Memory bloat is a real problem, even for mid-size Rails apps. But it might not be in their interest, if customers are suddenly able to downgrade to cheaper Dynos with less memory, so

Honestly, as a macOS power user, I love the new approach Apple is taking with Safari. More vertical space is a win, especially with those wide screen displays that are getting more popular and lets be honest: Actions like reloading are best

How does it compare to fish shell (especially fish’s great autocompletion), e.g. why are you not switching completely?

We should probably first do realistic estimates on how much that would increase prices for those products. 20 years is a long time and I wonder how much use a 20 year old iPhone for example even has.

I'm from West-Germany and have driven a Trabant myself (only twice though). This video, titled "The Trabant Was an Awful Car Made By Communists" from Doug De Muro sums it up quite nicely imo: https://www.youtube.co

Always the same objections, from the same people, when it comes to CM. It's mostly just subjective nowadays, just like your whole 'argument'. I think it looks great on high res displays, which should cover a huge chunk of all

Using a light theme, when working at day and a dark theme, when working at night works best for me, I found. macOS can switch it‘s theme automatically, depending on the time of the day. Some editors, like TextMate, support automatically cha

How far have we come to even consider poisoning the data on our own devices, because we know it will be harvested and resold by 3rd parties.

A possible alternative, at least for people inclined to a more cinematic watching experience (which has its pros and cons), is to buy a projector.

About which apps are you talking specifically? I‘m a long time VR user and except for some concepts I haven’t seen anything like what you describe, certainly not that popular.

If you really want or need MagSafe, as I do, you can have it with USB-C only Macs too. There are many magnetic adapters you can buy, the good ones working better than the original MagSafe 2, which easily fell off when using MacBooks on your

This exactly. I‘ve had a Quest 1 and loved most of it, except that for me, it was extremely uncomfortable and even left marks in my face after a while. So I sold it before the Quest 2 was released. For me a VR headset needs to be at most ha

May I ask for recommendations on where to trade Bitcoin? The fees on Coinbase (Pro), Kraken, etc seem prohibitive to me, especially for larger sums.* *) I‘m used to commission free stock trading with no volume limits in Germany, for any pri

Came here to also recommend Goldiloader, but your comment and especially your blogpost summarizes it just fine. We‘re using Goldiloader in a medium sized Rails application with zero problems so far.

Spotify for Apple Watch is still basically a remote for Spotify on iOS, presumably due to some contracts between Spotify and Samsung. So although Spotify could technically implement a standalone Apple Watch App since at least WatchOS 6 (rel

According to a Review by Ars Technica, the 10% weight saving comes from the flimsier headstrap. I also think Facebook is kind of admitting they messed up the headstrap, if they have to sell a proper one separately.

The same goes for the One plan for individuals. One will bump into the 50GB iCloud storage limit pretty soon, when using iCloud Photo Library.
