They didn't modify the dimensions. They added to the original artwork so that it would fit within new dimensions. They cloned parts of the image and added extra space so that the aspect ratio would stay the same but so the VHS tape wou

The article admits that they modified it to get it to fit the aspect ratio of the DVD and added all the stickers on the outside of the VHS that were not present originally. Edit: For clarification, I'm not saying it qualifies as fair u

This sounds like a series of coincidences more than anything. Spotlight has to index your drive at intervals so, if you recently added an app, it's possible that the app hadn't been indexed yet by Spotlight. Then, by the time you

What does that have to do with having a USB-A port on the computer?

On the USB-A port thing, what reason does anyone have for plugging their phone into their computer anymore, though? Everything about iOS and macOS now supports wireless sync and file transfer. I can't think of a single thing that I

You're not the odd one out, at least not to me. I also consider the newest MBP to be the best one, though I will admit that I really, really loved the one Marco's talking about in the OP. For me, the Touch Bar is awesome and is su

I really don't understand why this hasn't been a complaint at all on any other phone that utilizes an OLED display but now, all of sudden, once Apple has an OLED display it's suddenly a deal-breaker. This is craziness.

Not even remotely the same thing. Android's version of facial recognition could be fooled by a photo. Face ID is so good that people have to argue over whether or not identical twins being able to trigger it is less secure than Touch I

That's the thing, though... it would only drift from your face if the face it was drifting too looked similarly enough to your own.

It's not badly designed, though. It's a button on the TouchBar just like any other. If OP is accidentally hitting it all the time then they added it in a poor location. I have a completely customized TouchBar (thanks to Better Tou

Yeah... I'm aware of that which is what made OP confusing. They're either talking about the Power/TouchID button (which is still physical as it has been on every other MacBook prior) or they purposely added a "Lock"

So then you purposely added that to the TouchBar or you're unintentionally hitting the power button that is in the exact same place as it was on all previous MacBooks and that's somehow an issue with the TouchBar?

What's the lock key? That seems like something you need to either explicitly turn on or press.

It's weird to me that the author kinda meanders around a few key things without ever explicitly saying them and, in that regard, they kinda muddy the water around their point. 1) He blames the fall of the web on all the people (web des

I would've agreed with this except that my parents, who only do exactly that, decided to buy a new one because they said the old one was starting to feel slow. It's exactly as fast as it is the day I gave it to them for that kind

This is clickbait at its finest. No attributable sources and except for a pretty honest admission by Tesla which then leads to nothing but rampant speculation and claims. Tesla will be fine. They have something like a 90+% satisfaction rate

The thing that I like about Discovery (even though I'm preferring "The Orville, at the moment) is that it feels like a lead-in to the Trek that I know and love. Obviously, something had to happen to take people from where we are n

I'll never understand this. The pattern is the same every year. They announce a product, "journalists" say it's a failure, they sell more units and make more money than ever before, and the cycle repeats. Apple will de

So what do you do when you need to plug those headphones into a DAC with a stereo input? You need an adapter. What do you do when you need to plug them into a TV or game system? You need an adapter. You are definitely ok with it in other sc

There is no latency or battery drain with the AirPods. That's exactly why I can't compare them to any of the other Bluetooth headphones I've tried. They are significantly better.

Waterproof AirPods would be the one thing I would pay stupid amounts of money for. My biggest complaint with the AirPods (and it's a really tiny one) is that they don't have a great seal. Waterproof AirPods would have to have a

I disagree completely. You either don't own a pair or you only tried a fresh pair. You gotta break those bad boys in. It took me 2 weeks before they broke in and I noticed a huge difference.

I've worn them with a helmet and they only fell out when I tried to take the helmet off. As long as I look for them when taking the helmet off, they're no different from checking my regular headphones.

While I get what you're saying, I only find this drop in quality on really cheap Bluetooth headphones/headsets. I have tried 2 "high-end" wireless headphones (1 of which are my AirPods that I own) and I find no downsampl
