AWS bills their services on usage. If AWS ever offered billing as a service (ala Stripe) they would most definitely charge you a % of the transaction amount, along with a flat rate per transaction. Apple doesn't charge developers 30% o

She enjoys meat just fine. It's just milk proteins she is allergic too, and it's not an intolerance.

Flying Pie Pizza in Issaquah WA makes incredible pizzas, and last I had it, they offered vegan cheese as an option. I've had a slice of their vegan pizza and it's quite awesome.

Here is another: you love cheese and are allergic to casein. Not me, but the gal I am dating is allergic to dairy, and so we had some fun finding vegan cheeses that did not have casein. It was nice to make a dish that typically has cheese,

With BigSur, users can run ipad and iphone apps natively on an M1 mac. It's not a large stretch to see some overlap between allowing macOS features on a large screen mobile device.

Even at a marginal rate of 40%, that $60k-102k a year. At 1200/year, that's 2-1.2% of aftertax income. Also this is for gigabit home internet, which could be considered a premium service.

You don't really sound like you are cut out to work a corporate job. And that's not a bad thing. I'd say find whatever job you can get your hands on that has basic benefits, and focus your energy on creating the next Symantec

I really like Apple Fitness+ It offers enough variety which is perfect to slot in as cross training cardio to supplement my training. I wouldn't get it on it's own; but as part of Apple One, I will definitely use it.

I have two mini-USB cables I keep around as the PS3 Dualshock 3 controller is mini-usb. Otherwise I too would have lost them. I typically don't keep older generation consoles around, but the original launch PS3 was a marvel for its tim

About 1/10 times I have to either unplug my USB-C monitor cable, open my Intel MBP, or both, in order to get my Mac to wake up properly. I had similar issues with my Surface Book 2, though it wasn't as pronounced as my mac.

There is new data showing the efficacy for Pfizer is better for children age 12 and up. The point being; it's way too early to know which is better and why, and to base a decision on that data.
