There are many books people suggest I read which I have heard of but haven't had a chance to. On the other hand, some suggestions here are slightly outlandish. To their credit, some of these people have provided a brief synopsis to ena

With respect to those in this thread, I'm seeing a lot of suggestions of fairly niche books that I have never heard of or would consider reading. It may be that there is no one book that I think everyone should read. Everyone has dif

I'm not following. This assumes that, generally, native apps are more buggy. Why? This is contestable at best, or getting it the wrong way around at the worst. Perhaps at the hands of inexperienced developers it's right. But exper

Once I broached this subject with a developer at a start-up that developed totally separate native apps for iOS and Android. I queried him about the use of native apps, and he made the point that you do whatever it takes to keep your users

A company that makes an awful lot of money can afford to not make an awful app on major platforms. A native app on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android (TV), and some other solution for other platforms, isn't an unreasonable ask in this con

Really? Apples and oranges. You can easily copy my comment into Google Translate. An app available on the web, iOS and Android, free of charge. I can't use this chat app (to my knowledge) to communicate with friends using this app with

You can't really equate the rules that should apply to full democracies with those that should apply to partial democracies or totalitarian regimes. There's no evidence the US has used NSO like tools to spy on the opposition (post

It's still possible to setup standalone UniFi access points. I just tested it. The AP Lite 6 on the latest firmware can be set up in standalone mode with the latest Android app. You click the + icon in the top right, wait, then click o

I imagine they'll eventually feed us with the tried and tested line, "this outage prevented us from updating the status page". And we will reply with the obvious response, "run your status page on different infrastructur

It's a paid product with a team who need to earn a living wage. It's not like VS Code where the team is bankrolled by a big organisation making its money on other proprietary products. In light of the above, it makes sense for it

China always calls people and organisations who disagree with the government nasty names. Terrorists, propagandists, meddlers, revolutionists etc. This continual name-calling of anyone who criticises any aspect of their government leads

That's not what you said. You claimed it was a lie referring to Time Machine, not local backup options on iOS. macOS backup solutions are pretty much irrelevant, because it's obvious you can backup macOS using any tool you like
