Apple's own external keyboard has these missing keys, so I assume they work as on Windows. But they're not available on MacBook keyboard. Truth to be told, Home/End/PgUp/PgDown are also not available on many new Win

Sure, thanks! It might help someone. After all, there are new refugees from Windows every day now.

I said I'm MacOs novice, but I'm not that green, of course I immediately searched for shortcuts. And these are not a replacement for a single key, especially since I'm often combining these keys with Ctrl and Shift. At least

Even more precisely, it was published in the first edition of "Računari u vašoj kući" magazine. That magazine was created as a special edition of Galaksija magazine (so name came from there, that part was right), but from that poi

There were similar "passport lite" cross border documents in other parts of Yugoslavia, allowing people living in border regions to easily pass the border but limited to maybe 10-20km in another country. These passes were used by

I think the difference is between "only new models" and "all new vehicles". So previously you could buy a new car, just model from a year or two ago without this tech. Now these cars can't be sold any more.

Real question is will Google pay the price of removing this feature? This definitely reduces lock-in. Friends with iPhone had problems with gmaps location history so I never really considered Apple phone for this feature alone. Now I'm

There's nothing to cheer for. Google is removing that feature for their own reasons, not mine. You could always turn it off (or not turn on in the first place) if privacy concerns outweighed benefits for you. For the rest of us this is

Keyboard can be helpful in consumption scenario, simply because you can set up correct angle for a display. IPad cases I uses typically have just a single position. That said, iPad is more convenient when in a bed because you can more easil

Cassette tapes for Atari 800XL used just a single channel for data. The other one could have music and you would listen to it during game loading.

This triggers a lot of nostalgic feelings. We also had that in Belgrade during 80s, in a radio show hosted by late Zoran Modli. I even recorded some of emmited games although I didn't have a computer at a time. Access to software, musi

I don't know who would prefer to do music or video editing on smaller display, without keyboard for shortcuts, without proper file system and with problematic connectivity to external hardware. Sure, it's possible, but why? Ok, ma

32-bit CPU is not a good example because it's obsolete in a realistic sense, not by some artificial requirement. It doesn't support enough RAM not to choke when few browser tabs are opened. Perhaps sadly that modern web page requi

You can also wonder what would happen if Gavrilo Princip missed Franc Ferdinand in 1914? Single bullet could completely change world history. Would Austro-Hungary declare war to Serbia over some other cause? Or would some other incident sta
