Having some useful console tools certainly pulled a lot of people from Linux to macOS. The macOS GUI at least delivers a working desktop where "Linux on the desktop" seems to be eternally 'around the corner' for the last

I recently bought an OfficeJet 9020. Can't say anything about reliability yet, but at least the ink is not outrageously expensive (just normal expensive...). Installing the thing requires you to connect with an app that (thanks iOS 14)

Implementing a game engine can be an educational experience, so if the author wants to learn by doing that's just fine. Besides that it's a good thing there are more options in the open-source game engine space. Superficially Echo

If you want people to accept forced updates, just send the security fixes. Don't change the UI and don't mess with the users preferences, especially concerning privacy.

For starters it shares less data with Google by default and is not subsidised by privacy invasion.

You're free to jailbreak your phone if you want to exercise that right. And Apple is free to deny you updates and service if you do that.

They also missed a lot of features. And IMO not needing the 'reveal codes' screen and having to clean up markup codes manually is the reason Word won the wordprocessor 'war'.

Depends on which desktop. On macOS it stands out like a sore thumb. Icons are almost monochrome and indistinguishable. Also, it does not feel as smooth as a native Mac app since it uses its own toolkit instead of Mac native scrolling etc.

Yeah, because the second time everything will work as intended? Whatever you measure there are always going to be some loopholes causing unintended behaviour. Why would imposing those consequences on the current police system not give your

Yeah. Red Hat even got the Eclipse Java IDE running on it (sort of, it was really buggy and a lot slower than running it on the Sun JDK of the time) After Sun made the JDK GPL it was abandoned very quickly.

About the soldering part: memory prices don't plummet as hard as in 2005 anymore, so when you need more RAM, just buy it. By soldering it you also make it more robust. Most DIMM troubleshooting begins with 'reseat the modules&#x27

Since you're using the 'abusive relationship' analogy I'd like to point out there are more actors to this beside Apple and you. Most app developers are honest, but there still are lots of 'bad apples' trying to

Easy with 20/20 hindsight, but back then Apple didn't know it would be a few months. Should Intel have had unforeseen trouble with the Core 2 and decided to delay the release they would not be releasing any hardware. Also, availab

If you're on macOS and iPad this is exactly what the 'sidecar' feature does. Needs recent hardware though since it uses the video encoder built in recent Intel CPUs to make it less laggy.

I like some small features in DBeaver like clicking through on a foreign key takes you to that row in another table. I've seen lots of clients where you have to write another query. Written in Java has the advantage of supporting any d

I use a MacBook most of the time and incidentally Linux/Windows systems, and IMO the problem is not the Linux touchpad drivers are bad as such, but the way the system as a whole reacts to its input. Since macOS uses GPU-backed windows

Wordpress ;) Here in The Netherlands I've seen a lot of recent projects using PHP backends (mostly REST) using Laravel or other frameworks. Front-ends are all React/Angular though.

A power surge caused by a lightning strike would kill your master as well as your backup. Besides that, do you also keep all your WAL logs so you can roll back an accidentally dropped database?

The later games in the series used a 'point and click' interface, but are still filled with arbitrary or unfair puzzles, some badly written dialogue and cringe-worthy story moments.

Yes, but since you can get 4k on everything from 24" to 84" you'll want to choose between more space or bigger fonts depending on the setting. macOS can do 'fractional scaling' when the integer scaling isn't to

Seems like Apple has 'deprecated' the Firewire stack in macOS. Catalina works, but don't count on it being available much longer. Btw, the FW->Thunderbolt conversion adds a noticeable amount of latency to my audio interfac
