My previous MacBook worked 8 years - needed a battery replacement and an upgrade to a SSD. Granted it was a sluggish last year using it. My current MacBook has lasted me 3 years already and unless something drastic happens I can see it las

Why wouldn't you just make it via a separate password... simply force your device into password unlock mode (no faceID/touchID). enter the duress password.

Here in Australia its pretty much 100% chip and PIN or contactless payments (paypass). Has been for a number of years now. I don't think anyone swipes cards unless there is something wrong with the payment terminal. Even vending machin

The big thing about TouchID and FaceID is that they are great ways of enforcing a higher level of security than nothing... Prior to these technologies many people I knew did not bother having PINs or were using 1234 because remembering a co

ahhh, haha ok I see! yeah it isn't awesome that we feel we need these security features. However I think even without the fear of government (etc...) this is still a great feature I would love to have.

Oh? I might have misunderstood your post. I thought you were suggesting a way that meant phone backups all appear the same size as the disk 100% of the time. (meaning the true volume of content is hidden) Then the second point is the user c

Thanks for posting this, it's a good read so far. I have been using JSX quite a bit and this is helping me get a better understanding.

I feel Autumn and Spring are the best times to visit Sydney. During the Summer you could travel around the southern parts (Tasmania and SA). In the winter months you can spend time in Cairns (anywhere up north really) and its beautiful. You

That was a really interesting read and watch, both high tech and low tech hacks. Given that these guns mean life/death for people I hope this find is enough to take them off the market. So many chances for failure given all these holes

Ah yeah I was running the Beta for iOS10. Makes sense. Cheers :)

Atom, Discord, Etcher are all Electron apps (I am pretty sure?) and I think they work great.

oh wow that is awesome. I've not used firefox in years but something like that could be reason enough to give it another try.

You can kind of do this with incognito mode. It would be a bit frustrating because once you close the tabs everything is lost. However I am not sure how different browsers "incognito mode" handle multiple tabs. I do like your idea

farrrr out the web is getting more and more complicated!! it used to be HTML and CSS. With all these developments it's turning into a javascript based operating system working out of browsers.

I originally moved to Apple because they had amazing products which were leap years ahead of the competition in terms of build quality and features. These days I feel that they have fallen behind in this space, perfect examples would be the

This is something I have wished banks would one day provide! Aussie banks might one day catch on. Love to read a write up in 6 months from someone who has played around and got this working. See how useful it really is.

That is pretty awesome. I've done the maths. They say money can't buy you happiness but we all have our number. It looks like your number is around $70,000,000.

How awesome is the expo example on http://dev.apollodata.com/ ... I just tried it on my iPhone. Freaking amazing how well it works. Mobile app development has come leaps and bounds from where it was a year ago.

I have been trying to work this out myself too. Would love to see some examples on how to address this. The challenge seems to be that while the server side rendered bit would work fine - it could query a DB locally after authenticating a u

I hope that this goes ahead, it would be great to see us doing something other than propping up and supporting our fossil fuel industry.

My only experience with this sort of thing was in Paris and it was very fun being able to ride around Paris, but in the end it was a complete pain. My travel credit card had 200 euros put on hold, twice (two bikes). Which didn't clear

Ah ok I missed the boat then :( I could imagine it being difficult to send to Australia. We have strict rules on food and plant matter coming in and I am not sure what this would be classified as. Thanks for the reply!

I've had Workflow on my phone for years but have never found any reason to use it. Things that I wanted to do were just out of reach. Someone else mentioned in here changing wifi networks... but also things like: enabling/disablin

(I don't know enough about the team they disbanded - just my thoughts here) Could this be a sign that the team was not up to scratch and this acquisition is to replace them?
