It’s extremely important that we overcome the rage (after those fully justified 5 minutes) and take coordinated and reasoned action, because this kind of attacks on encryption, depicting it as immoral or unpatriotic or irresponsible, is onl

My biggest gripe is the flashlight delay - swipe up for control center, tap flashlight, and the actual light takes easily a third of a second to turn on. I suspect that's also waiting for the stupid animation to complete. Honestly I fe

I find them extremely practical on my induction stove: it's a single perfectly smooth glass surface, which makes it a joy to clean. Physical buttons (or any 3-D feature really) and food preparation make cleaning a hassle.

And Antennagate resulted in Jobs demanding the head of SVP Mark Papermaster - which actually proves your point: he took swift and decisive action (no, I'm not talking about the public-facing discussion trying to minimize the issue - ob

As far as I know (which is admittedly very little), Intel's fabs require massive amounts of stable electricity and clean water. Maybe proximity to such resources is their driver in this case.

That was for a completely different reason. CDs had Constant Linear Velocity (CLV). This means the disc would spin lower when the head was on other tracks, and faster on inner tracks, so that the same amount of data would pass under the hea

In case of 2.5G connections (I still get 2.5G on a regular basis, e.g. in some specific train stations on my way to work in the morning) it can easily be 800ms per RTT - so 2.4 seconds before you have a chance to request any content. And no

Your fingerprints are given in clear, from your fingertips to the sensor surface. You can add all the security in the world after the sensor, but you need to be able to trust it, because it has access to the raw data. Same for face ID - the

Indeed this may even help understand why the case of exactly 2 people in an office results in higher absences (50%) than the 3-6 case (36%): You develop a more personal relation with that other person and they're usually not too much o

While I don't have hard data to counteract what you say, my personal experience is that every .0 release is indeed quite rough on the battery, and within a few weeks a .1 or .2 release largely remedies that. This effect is usually visi

That was new (for me) and interesting, thanks for posting that. I'm actually surprised to see such a small distance between e.g. Germany and USA, where I observed much more power disparity. Possibly because Germans are, as a whole, &qu

True for Apple, not for Microsoft. Windows 10 is stuffed with tracking and telemetry and puts ads in front of you (screen saver, start menu, etc). They are absolutely NOT famous for respecting your privacy or wishes.

Turn on a light inside the room (even the flashlight of your phone will do), and look outside through the window. Count the reflections of the light that you can see.
