I just upgraded to the M1 Air. I was on a 2011 MBP, but I started having so many issues with it being deprecated and out-of-support that I finally caved. I also thought about waiting for the M2, but honestly who knows when that will launch,

I’ve been slowly transitioning away for almost a year now. And I was all in on google products and services. I got rid of my android, switched to iPhone, was gonna go with protonmail, but went with Hey instead and I have zero regrets, Hey i

I have a early 2011 MBP on High Sierra. I recently reported a bug to Mozilla that I was experiencing in Firefox. They couldn't reproduce it, but it was essentially the integrated graphics are so old in this machine that their new rende

Story time! My mom worked at a gas station convenience story in an rough part of Atlanta (Bankhead) in the late 1970s/early 80s. Alcohol sales in Georgia used to be prohibited on Sundays, so the most addicted alcoholics would come into

I'm willing to bet most startups have horribly unhealthy codebases, at least that has been my experience. However, it ultimately doesn't matter much. The things that matter are the things that gain and retain customers, like stabi

I think it's a side-effect of wider adoption. NPM/Node suffers the most from this. I would also argue that Rust is experiencing a little of this.

Well, Flutter is open source, so even if Google dropped support (extremely unlikely), it will likely continue on.

Does anyone know if this supports standalone licenses, or is it strictly subscription only?

I was working at GE when AWS bought GE's 3.0.0.0/8 block, and it caused a massive headache. GE's network is gigantic, and there are a ridiculous number of assets. They didn't give much notice about the sale, so they shim

This whole article is weird... Why exactly was the guy arrested? He wasn't being honest with who he was, but on what grounds is that illegal? Also what on earth does CCTV image recognition have to do with a holiday travel site? This fe

Mine has a PIN, but I only have to use it if I'm calling support, getting a gift card, or trying to use it at an ATM to get a cash advance. I'm not 100% sure about the ATM though, I've never tried to use it, plus the interest

Difference is that a fingerprint is only stored on your device, and it's just a single print. This is your entire hand, and it's stored off-site and owned by a company who at any point in time can change their mind about that data

I really like interoperability and ubiquity of USB-C, but I think the part that I find frustrating is that the actual cables themselves are not standardized around data transfer rates. I recently bought a small USB-C hub that allowed you to

Friend of mine works at Anthem doing dental contracts. He said they were making money hand over fist for the last few months, because everyone was still paying premiums, but no one was filing claims because most dentist offices were closed.

I work at GE. They sold off their appliance vertical, with brand rights, to Haier years ago. And with lighting being recently sold off, GE doesn't manufacture any home appliances anymore.
