   I think you're probably right, but "premium Chromebook" is such an oxymoron. People with money just buy Macs.

   These things are $250?! Where did you find that info?

   It also claims that Pearl Harbour happened in the first months of WWII.

   I'm intrigued as to why you're getting downvotes here, I'm vaguely interested in onedev. Edit: Though I do think they're mad for not offering a hosted version, especially right now while GitHub resentment is riding high.

   I went through this recently. Got as far as verifying my identity, which Apple happily accepted as verified from my UK driving license. Unfortunately, they then automatically set my first and last name from that identity verification step,

   Facebook user surprised by rage-bait ads is not something I expected to see today.

   I used to quite like Apple Maps, but then I tried to switch to it for navigation in CarPlay and discovered why so many people hate it. Me: "Hey Siri, navigate to {exactly the same hospital I went to yesterday}", Siri: "I foun

   I switched seamlessly to Zensical too. Quite like it so far.

   I hope this works out - I love mise and sponsor on GitHub already.

    I've seen Marvel movies and I think "crud" was the better word choice.

    I can't read the article (503) but does anyone know why someone calling themselves that privacy guy is installing Google Chrome?

    I like the fact that one can scroll through the comments here and instantly spot the Brits who have just a tiny bit more context.

    I'm intrigued by the repeated sentences - doesn't feel like a mistake an LLM would make, but also doesn't feel like a mistake a human would make so many times in a single article.

    I actually use this tool and it's pretty great, certainly for my needs anyway.

    Hadn't heard that name since the Amiga days and had no idea it was still around!

    Am I the only one who doesn't want these things to have anything even vaguely resembling a personality?

    It's a magnificent article, it's well worth it.

    I haven't seen anyone faking surprise, or even genuinely surprised, what are you referring to?

    Trying to find what context was on LinkedIn but not in the posted link. Spoiler alert, there was none.

    HomeKit certification is still a thing if that's what you're referring to. You're very much right about the bottom of the barrel nature of home automation devices though. Most of mine are about as good as you can get though (

    AirPods and iMessage, agreed, never had a problem. The Home app though remains Apple's unloved ginger stepchild - every major OS release I'm hopeful that they've done something about it, but they never do. I'm starting t

    This is exactly what I was setting it up to do this morning. My research came down to this and WAL-G for the same reasons, and I picked pgBackRest over WAL-G because the documentation was clearer.

    The tapping phones thing really limits the utility of this, and I suspect gives away something about the age of the author - as one gets older, friends move away from the place where you originally made friends, often all over the world. Gi

    Hello. I just logged in for the first time in a while and it asked me to verify my age, despite the fact that my Flickr account is 22 years old. I've been paying for Flickr Pro as long as that has been possible, if I remember correct
