It really just depends on your local distribution hubs. My semi rural address regularly gets serviced by two different FedEx hubs, if I see it go to X hub I'll get it that day, but if it goes to Y hub it'll most likely be late.

How do they lock customers in? There are plenty of messaging apps from other tech conglomerates, that no one chose to use alternatives in the U.S. is not Apple's problem. The market spoke.

Throwing away a brand almost everyone has heard of and verbs that have become common in spoken language because you own x.com is just incredibly stupid stuff. The guy is surrounded by yes men.

This is the inherent flaw of decentralized networks. You either appeal to people who really care about decentralization (an extremely small group) or you're not really decentralized.

A higher bit rate lets you digitally process audio without introducing artifacts. It's very common to record, mix, and master audio at 192/24 and even oversample well above 192k. It has nothing to do with snake oil or hearing thin

Yea the authors conclusion is flawed. If I enter an emoji and a different one appears I'm just going to assume your website is broken. Safari is in the right here.

I've never dealt with or owned a Lenovo but it sounds like they're also good based on others replies. Do you have to pay extra or have a business plan with Lenovo to get that service tho?

Apple's customer service is really unrivaled in the computer repair space. I had a similar experience with my MacBook Pro in the past, my display stopped working, dropped it off at a store and picked it up a couple days later. They had

A lot of these suggestions sound needlessly complex but I'm probably just getting old. I'd say either CGI scripts, PHP, or Ruby and sqlite as a DB, all hosted on a single VPS. That'll get you plenty far and be easy to grow ou

Trends in paint are fun. Flat colors were last really common in the 90's, which is retro cool in its own way now, although then it was generally done with single stage paint and the gloss/wet look came from the occasional polish a

NYTimes used to have a similar mobile subdomain you could browse on desktop too, it was great. It wasn't strictly text only but made reading the content a much nicer experience.

And this app is more discoverable? Those shortcuts also work in any text field in MacOS, they aren't proprietary to just a terminal.

A lot of those complaints are non issues with the default terminal in MacOS. Option + mouse click moves the cursor to where ever, control+a|e move to the beginning or end of the line, option+arrow jumps words, and the arrows navigate up and

Automakers are measured by units sold and Tesla ranks very low on that list. When Toyota sells 10 million cars a year it's not news, they have basically reached peak growth. Tesla's valuation is higher because they keep selling mo
