One mans lackluster features is another mans streamlined interface. MacOS at least goes out of your way most of the time. Windows interrupts you regularly for stuff that's not important to whatever you're doing. Combined with thir

By all means go to Steam (or another digital storefront like the Nintendo e-shop) and check the 'indie' category. There's a revival of pixel-art games going on to the point some people are completely fed up with them. Even th

Makes you wonder if this is something every user experiences or some weird corner case. Seems Apple forgets old bugs after a few years. I recall having crackling audio on my 2015 Macbook pro which was fixed within weeks after release, but r

If you're going to have to use an unfamiliar device it helps to just check out what it can do (e.g. explore the settings) before concluding it sucks ;) I don't really have the patience for silly stuff that annoys me and should&#x2

Since you seem to have broken 2 screens: you are aware Apple is discouraging placing webcam covers on your MacBook screens? Since the screens are flat, those things can put a lot of pressure on a MacBook screen to the point they crack.

In the case of Doctor Who it also didn't help the video tapes from that era were expensive and reusable. Lots of tapes were reused for other productions. On the other hand, it's simply impossible to preserve everything produced. W

Their support for the latest Canon RF lenses (some of which need heavy adjustments by design) is lacking, made worse by them being completely silent about any planned support.

I've got that one at a steep discount. Works great on a MacBook using 1 USB-C cable for charging, network and display. The only downside is on laptops without Displayport stream compression there's not enough bandwidth for 4k@60Hz

On its own Bluetooth works quite well, but where there are a lot of active devices it only takes one device to drown out others. I've got an old Magic Trackpad which reconnects often and most of the time that results in Bluetooth audio

While this is possible, it takes ages for an application to gracefully shutdown so any time you save not having to start up a new server is lost. And then you still have classloader, memory and thread leaks since you can't really prove

You'd have to unload a lot then. I'm not a cargo specialist, but I presume they start with the heavy containers so those are at the bottom.

The mobile games are experiments for Nintendo to find out how their games fit in the mobile gaming world. I think they are full aware of how perverse incentives can kill all the fun in games, so for now I give them the benefit of doubt. ps.

Streaming networks are perpetually trying to spend less on bandwidth. I already prefer a full-HD blu-ray to 4k Netflix which has more distracting compression artifacts. Just increasing the resolution to 8k and then compressing it in a 10Mbp
