I noticed the other day that the SE/5s screen is exactly the dimension of a standard business card.

1. Make a platform so locked down that basic features are lacking. 2. Prevent users from easily writing and executing scripts to add functionality, like Greasemonkey. 3. Sell apps that cover missing features. 4. Improve your original operat

I presume it makes it harder to waterproof the phone with multiple ports. Having only one port, either lightning or USB-C, would hopefully lead to a better phone design. And if we’re trying to add Face ID, I assume the headphone jack is was

I have the same feeling, and I know I should wean myself, but current displays are practically unusable in bright light. And when trying to take photos or read a book, it’d be nice to have options...

It would ship with compatible Apple headphones, and I could buy an adapter. If it saves space for Face ID or something, that’d be a good trade-off for my personal taste

My ideal SE: Updated camera with gyroscopic stabilization. No camera bump. Instead, make phone slightly thicker and give larger battery. Next, remove headphone jack, and Touch ID. Include edge to edge screen like modern iPhones. Have option

Totally agree. Small body is appealing. Update the tech, keep it small. I’d be willing to forgo touch and Face ID, just to use passcode if necessary. Remove the headphone jack, increase battery life, update camera so it’s stabilized with gy

Thank you. Definitely looking to save, so Craigslist is great. Commuting in Clackamas County and sometimes within Portland downtown.

I live in Portland, and eBay and Craigslist are the best ways I’ve found to get cheap film, either because someone’s done shooting film, or because it’s old and expired. Blue Moon Camera, in St. John’s, also sells expired film in a mixed ba

When people say 3 fold, they mean 3 times. I think fold should mean 2^3. When you fold a piece of paper, it doubles each time. So on the news when they talk about a 10 fold increase, I know they mean 10 times and not 1024 times. Does anyone

I use barba.js to make my site load faster, but at the initial expense of a JavaScript payload to enable the XHR page delivery. It would be cool if browsers offered an experimental flag, allowing the page to be fetched with XHR by default w

a {padding: 1rem} This increases area by padding the link. Just don’t want the rap areas of different elements to overlap with too much padding. You can also put a border around the new area, or a box shadow, to indicate larger click area,

I also do this. Safari is my stateless browser, no cookies, no scripts, no location access, etc. And then Firefox or Brave are what I use for anything requiring Javascript. Though brave’s UI is much cleaner than FF.

I unplugged my family’s Alexa, since they weren’t using it but left it on. They haven’t used it at all for months and haven’t plugged it back in. It sits on their shelf. I wonder if this is common, where families overestimate the usefulness

You can receive form submissions, which is very nice for some websites. You can also bundle assets and minify CSS, JS, etc. You can set header rules and cache settings. All of this is not possible with Github as far as I know.

It's my opinion that there never should have been a loophole and that the 1970s SCOTUS cases ruled incorrectly about our expectations of privacy for the "third-party doctrine." So this law, in my view, simply restores the 4th

I'm curious which host you'd recommend. I want a good host for making websites. Not sure if I need to be a reseller or just use their shared hosting. I'm hoping to create lots of static websites for different small businesses

We've heard this many times before, but to what end? What does any of this mean in practical terms? What's going to happen? I might be wrong, but nobody I know actually uses Foursquare, and I'm not sure that it offers any tan

Adguard works, too. I’ve been using it a while but eventually would like to try a PiHole. Do you find yourself having to adjust the settings often, or does it work fairly well?
