I wonder if the native app could use something like Terraform to manage the hosting on the user’s behalf? They’d need to register an account with a supported provider and do the initial domain registration & dns pointing, but a step by

HTTPS stops the content being modified on its way to you. Some less than scrupulous ISPs have injected their own ads into pages, which would be prevented with SSL.

Thanks for the update, I’ve looking forward to this feature for around 6 months!

Looks like WebAuthn is still missing, even though there seem to have been merge requests featuring it forever! Anyone know which milestone it’ll be merged into?

I try not to but it has been below 10% many times (and occasionally so empty it turns off). Now WFH, so it has been plugged most of the time since late March and I'm really just nursing it through until the newer phones are released so

Got any credible sources that back that up? My 2015 13" MBP has been charged 221 times in 4.75 years. It has been plugged in for the vast majority of the time, yet still shows 88% total capacity and will still last 8+ hours doing stand

I wouldn’t be able to use yours because the only sign up option is with a google account. Ideally, I’d be able to use the service and then create an account (without google) if I chose to save my result.

I don’t think Apple want hobbyist apps in the store. They want apps that will create revenue and the fee creates a filter of sorts. It would be good to be able to side load hobby apps, but that’s never happening. The fee does also get you 2

This was auction listings ending within the next 12 hours that had bids, for the same spec as mine. I also found CeX (a buy/sell company) are paying £350 for my spec, which is less risky (and no eBay/PayPal fees).

I tried with my 2015 MBP, and was offered £180 by Apple. The average eBay price for the same model seems to be around £450, so the eBay route would be worth the risk for me. Also, when selling second hand, at least I know it's being re

16s would be for a full refresh though. If you're making an information based display you might only need to change a small area per update, which would be faster (though I couldn't find. any refresh speed in the datasheet).

Last time I looked into this, for a potential project, I found Waveshare seem to be the leaders for the hacker/hobby space. They’ve got a nice 12.5” display (1304x984) @ $170, which is pricey but big enough for league tables. https:&#

What are you using that Edge doesn't support? We treat Chrome/Safari/Edge/FF all as 1st class browsers and haven't had many problems (aside from Safari lacking U2F and exotic CSS props like motion-path).

You should take a look at Z Notation, which is a formal specification language based around mathematics & set theory. I hated working in it and have done my best to forget everything about it.
