Of all the "problematic" web giants, Amazon is probably the one I have the hardest time avoiding just because the value proposition is a so much better. Sure I can find the same products on other website at a similar price, but it

Heh, I saw that earlier and though that someone had pointed to the wrong DB in QA or dev.

I wouldn't be super surprised to see Xcode for iPad, but I would guess it'd be super cut down, possibly only allowing iOS development in the strictest most Apple-approved only kind of way.

Starting with PHP and Visual Basic got me on the way to making cool stuff really fast, but I think they both made the leap to "real" programing languages later. With web development, I didn't really move on from PHP's &q

I got into wargaming a few years when I decided a needed a non-tech hobby. I guess I'm ultimately more a miniature painter than a gamer(though I do game with my miniatures) and I've found the painting very therapeutic.

This is exactly where died for me, when I went from being a buyer of their hardware to a potential source of monthly revenue and made it more difficult to get content I want as a result. They established a customer base and good will and on

After the whole HBOMax debacle, I'm not sure if I trust Roku's side of the story and am wondering if the real issue isn't "Youtube TV won't give us a slice of their pie". I used to be a huge fan of Roku when th

I'm guessing the tech's "static discharge" explanation would probably be more correctly described as discharging capacitors? I had a similar issue with an Asus u36sd laptop. I first realized it might the problem when I o

They also never fully went 64-bit on PPC, so there was never really a transition there, just some 64-bit machines that could do some slightly different things and I don't think there was ever a full 64-bit version of OS X for PPC. So t

I recently decided to get a Macbook Air over an iPad Pro(would have waited for the refresh for the iPad as it was already heavily rumored). I really wanted to want the iPad, but the software is still holding it back, and other than a tablet

I'm super surprised and pleased by this. I would have expected these to have recharge lithium ion batteries that weren't replaceable.

I like the colors and design, but needing a separate work/personal computer at the same desk at different times means I can't have a big display that's only usable by one computer. If they still had target display mode, I&#x2

I wouldn't really compare pressure cooker pork butt to the smoker version, but it's great compared to the other common non-smoker variant, the crock pot(or slow cooker to be brand generic). For most meats, I don't want to go

I know the model 16 had a 68k, but it just seems bizarre that a version of Unix ran on a TRS-80.

Once we do get back to "normal" I wonder how the job market will change for me, someone who switched to remote work prior to the pandemic and have no desire to go back to an office ever again. I've seen companies that have de

Neat. I occasionally need to create disks for some of my old computers, and while there are USB drives for 3.5" disks, I have to get my Windows 98 PC to write 5 1/4" disks(it's the easiest to get talking to my modern inf

The 800XL is probably one of my favorite 8-bit computers aesthetically, and definitly my favorite amongst ones that I own(C64, CoCo2, Ti-99/4a), thought the Ti-99/4a is close second with that black and metal design, it's just
