I can't give you direct recommendations, but it does sound like you might have used Provisioned IOPS storage instead of General Purpose storage which is simply pay by the byte. If you're willing to post a bit more details, I'

If I was going to switch anyway, I wouldn't switch to Azure DevOps Server, I'd switch to GitHub Enterprise. I don't think there's much of a future for Azure DevOps.

The lead architect of the PS5 said that NVMe drives will need to be a bit faster than the built-in SSD to make up for the fact that they don't have the optimizations that Sony has for the built-in controller. Essentially only the highe

I'm glad Microsoft is doing development out in the open, but I really wish they'd do a better job of isolating features like WSL from the underlying OS. I'd gladly run an insider build of WSL, but with their track record of s

I'm already a Matrix/Element user, and I honestly don't see the point in using a bridge for my personal IRC usage. I think it's cool for groups that want to maintain IRC after switching to Matrix, but it feels like it&#x

The Lounge is the first app to make me really use IRC. The ability to have it running on my home server and be easily accessible from all the devices in my house through a nice, mobile optimized web interface is an absolute delight.

For what it's worth, Kindle Previewer 3 runs without issue under Wine (well, at least the CLI). I use it to convert epub files to KFX to add to my Kindle.

That is not an apt analogy because the switching costs for grocery stores is no where near as high with iOS. If you want the full argument I highly recommend reading the full legal filing.[1] [1] https://cdn2.unrealengine.com&#x2

I think we're on the same page here. Are you saying that the application of Apple's TOS can't be considered retaliation since it's something Epic agreed to be held to?

by dstaley 6y ago
Sorry, to clarify, I wasn't trying to imply that what Epic did wasn't against the TOS. My point was that Apple has the authority not to terminate Epic, but has chosen to do so, even when they've allowed other apps that have d

Epic very specifically defined the "market" as iOS devices. Their argument is based on the assertion that Android is not an alternative to the App Store since it's a completely different operating system. So, Apple actually h

I was really disappointed to see that it's not an open protocol (at least not yet). It would have been awesome to add this functionality to Windows and Linux desktops.

Yeah I think the big issue here is that HEIF is typically used to get JPEG level quality at a lower file size. Increased bit depth would negate those file savings, and I bet Apple/Google would just prefer you use RAW.
175.
by dstaley 6y ago
The iPhone defaults to HEIF, and all Android devices running at least Android 9 have the option to save images in HEIF. That being said, I have no idea if you get any of the benefits of a higher bit-depth.

I suspect many of those who are ad-averse like me use third party clients and ad blockers, and have an inherent distrust of ads, so I doubt I'm worth much to an advertiser considering my engagement rate is zero.
