I tend to listen to the same music all the time, I just checked, I add about 30 songs to my library a year. Right now I'm listening to trace classics from 2000 :)

300 songs might not sound like many, yet that is how many items have been added to my library or to a playlist in 12 years. So I can't really speak to anything else than that. That's my usage pattern, yours may be different. I kee

buy 13 songs a month, every month, for a year, and see how big your library is. Remembering that a song at full price on itunes store is $1~ and a monthly subscription to spotify is $13 There is a compounding effect, so buying my library as

No, I was comparing the size difference of the 5 (and lineage) to the 6 (by way of case) and Mini. "SE" is a nondescript product line and the only physical differences are the tone of the chassis and a stamp; it's a fair repr

I'm not sure I understand how you think the mini is in a case from those photos. Maybe because it's the dark version of the phone you can barely make out the shiny apple logo, but it's there, you can see the metal edge of the

maybe I'm misremembering the dimensions of the 8. I did, however, take a series of photos comparing the Mini to the SE- and the packaging of the 6 (I think I gave the phone away but still had the box). https://imgur.com/

I totally accept that I'm the minority. When I was 12-13 I started taking a steroidal inhaler which inhibited my growth, so my hands are literally the same size as when I was 13. (maybe slightly wider). As such I have about the same fi

we’ll be waiting a while. The last Mini was iPhone 8 sized, when I considered anything larger than the 5 to be too much. The Mini thus, undersold, because if you were fine with the 8 then iPhones of that size were still available (2nd Gen S

for those who were holding out from Gen1 or whatever, adding pro features at a non-pro price is definitely incentivising. I’m not sure why we’re pretending it’s not. Would you rather have generation old Pros or brand new standard airpods wh

You're putting the computation of waypoint finding on the all clients, or on your server. People spam click, so it's cheaper to compute it once and pass it around.

Git is a vulgar word in British English too, doesn’t seem to have prevented successful commercial adoption of Github, Gitlab or git itself. Despite being less vulgar than “fuck”, the use of this word can get you excluded from school.

Websites work better on a mac than ever . You mean Linux, probably, but thats because Chrome doesn't enable hardware acceleration pn ARM, so smooth scroll is disabled. Pretty rough.

I think we spend a little bit too much time optimising startup time. Anything more than 3 seconds and less than 45 seconds is perceptibly the same, it's the same level of inconvenience unless you're in a rush. .. but I can'
