Ordering from Apple or Samsung directly, as suggested by the article, even is something to avoid, unless you like paying a premium (usually you can find their products about 10-30% cheaper somewhere else).

Been using it since its first stable release, absolutely reliable and easy to work with. Version 2, which should be released soon, is even nicer. https://eggerapps.at/postico/

Is there a way, like adding a 'DEPRECATED' file, to mark a repo as unmaintaned?

Modern wheat is bred primarily for optimal industrial processability. Many experts say it has lost some of the healthy properties and good digestibility compared to indigenous wheat strains.[0] That seems to be the reason a rising number of

Wow, this looks really amazing. HL1 is still one of my favorite games. They even completely remade the Xen part and according to reviews, its better than the original, which some players did not like that much.

It’s about Russian natural gas, not oil. About 25% of Germany’s primary energy are produced from gas, of which about 40% come from Russia (down from about 50% in 1995).[1] The US sanctions against the Nord Stream project are seen by a numbe

The USA has one of the highest rates of homelessness of all developed countries[1]. So maybe it’s more of a social problem then the fault of individuals. And maybe it would make more sense to fight the root causes then the symptoms. 1) htt

So can we all finally agree, that Huawei stating it has no ties to the Chinese government, was a lie after all? This false claim by Huawei, is one of the most important reasons why Huawei isn‘t already banned here in Germany.[1] And while w

It is astonishing to me, that one of the best known IT security researchers has to rely on a flashing icon to determine if location services were used or not. Apple could easily disable said icon in certain cases. This begs the question: Is

Have you ever calculated how much energy a gas powered car or truck stores? Yet we even let everyone pour that stuff into their tanks, without any supervision whatsoever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I guess one thing that is obvious, is that an oppressive country like China can never win the race to attract the brightest, most creative minds. Nowadays people have options on where to live and from what I can see, these kind of people mo

Chart.js still uses the HTML Canvas element, so charts generated with it look blurred when printed or zoomed in. Nowadays I prefer Apexcharts.js, which renders to SVG. https://github.com/apexcharts/apexcharts.js (MIT L

With macOS, you can install anything you want. The macOS App Store only contains a subset of all software available/written for macOS.

It’s lightweight and feels snappy. Fonts and upvote buttons could be a bit larger on mobile though imho (my hands are of average size).

I‘m not so sure about this. Is there any indication or prior example from business history for that claim? The Apple App Store seems good enough for most normal people. They will even defend having no alternative means of installing softwar

At least in Europe (I mostly buy from Germany) there still seem to be a high number of these smaller E-Stores. In fact everything thats more expensive than ~100€, I‘ll search for on my favorite price comparison website. Very rarely Amazon

Great comment. I‘m a bit afraid that alarmists and the likes will manage to restrict the sale and use of electronic cigarettes and nicotine-liquids for adults, as they already managed to do in a number of countries. Products like the Juul a

I‘m not bald but I think your view on that matter is very simplified and a bit shortsighted. Healthy hair is a big contributor to the perceived attractiveness of a person, which in turn can have a big influence on the career success of a pe
