I bought a Pebble Time Round just before Pebble went under. I honestly think it's the best smartwatch made yet. Nothing matches it in terms of aesthetics and functionality for me.

I just realized that the $549 Surface Go comes with a Pentium Gold (more powerful than the Celeron), double the storage, and double the RAM for $50 cheaper than the base model Pixel Slate ($250 cheaper if you include the keyboards). Further

Not totally the same, but Blazor[1] is a similar framework powered by dotnet on wasm. As a React dev, looking at a Blazor component feels very familiar. I'd love to see something implemented in Go or another language without all the ex

I mean, Huawei was technically correct when they announced it was the first. However, it's now clear that the A12 Bionic will be the first shipping 7nm SoC, and I think it's fair for Apple to claim it's the first 7nm SoC in a

Android has had a built-in file explorer for about three years now.[1] It's actually pretty good! I haven't had the need to download a third-party one since Marshmallow. [1] https://www.androidpolice.com/2015/

If Evernote hasn't found a set of features people would be willing to pay for in their ten years of existing, I doubt another round of funding is really the solution. I'd much rather see them reduce their staff to an amount they c

Although the iPhone is at only 16% market share based on units sold, they're at 51% based on revenue. Apple is selling fewer devices at a higher price point. I anticipate that, for the next few years at least, Tesla and other EV makers

This sounds like a bookmark, not a PWA. I have several PWAs on my Pixel 2, all of which appear without the Chrome icon in my app drawer.

I use Lambdas for just about everything. The API for my package tracking app is a Lambda function, and I have another function that checks a few subreddits for specific keywords and emails the posts to me. I have another Lambda that checks

This honestly seems like the most likely way to reintroduce MagSafe. Reintroducing the non-USB-C connector would be even more infuriating that its removal for those that have already purchased the newer MacBook Pros.

Brave is built with the same rendering engine and JavaScript engine as Chrome (Blink and V8). I think the speed increase is probably due to the built-in ad blocker.

It's marginally faster than the dual-core 13in MacBook Pro on account of it being a 7th generation chip. They're still using U series chips, so it won't compete with the true quad-core HQ chips in the 15in MacBook Pro.

I doubt it since Final isn't really in the same sphere as Plastc. Final is a typical credit (as in line of credit) card with the added bonus of virtual credit card numbers (similar to Privacy.com credit card numbers). If someone was in

The only thing it says for me is "0/1 (Disabled)". [0] Edit: Ah, so this is weird. It looks like e10s isn't enabled when you first run Firefox. You need to quit, and then relaunch. On the second launch e10s is then enabl

Electrolysis isn't enabled by default, so I don't think it qualifies as "the recommended mode". Furthermore, I never said "the entire project is shit". Firefox is a great piece of software, but I don't use

Whenever a new Firefox release drops, my favorite thing to do is to see if this (now ten-year-old) bug [0] is finally fixed. Spoiler: it isn't. This bug (and many others similar to it) are one of the main reasons I dislike using Firefo

I don't think anyone is arguing that it's technically impossible to create anything. I was just pointing out that the tradeoffs that Atom accepted aren't simply trivial to solve. Jon has put an amazing amount of work into Sub

IntelliJ doesn't use native UI components though. Furthermore, Atom can open a single file in 3s, whereas opening the same file in IntelliJ takes 11s (these numbers are from cold starts). This is with clean installs of both IDEs on a 2

If this was truly that simple, don't you think someone would have already done it? Furthermore, is there even an actively maintained, open source, cross platform, development-focused text editor with native UI components?

I think it's great that Tesla is attacking the market top down, but I'm honestly more excited for the Toyota Camry of electric vehicles. The total cost of ownership of a $35k Model 3 is probably lower than the TCO for a $23k Camry

I think in these instances the code is pushed in a build, and then toggled server-side. Enabling features server-side isn't against the ToS, but pushing new app code is.

Totally agree. I'm just pointing out that their self-stated motivation behind news coverage is why some people dislike their format.
