I don’t disagree with that. But equally most business units in Apple are not tied to revenue streams. From R&D though to developers for other non-subscription software. And that’s before you then factor in the non-delivery team (eg fina

It really depends on the individual. I barely watch any TV and have been like this for the 30+ years that I’ve been old enough to own a display. For a while, I did go fully in with media centres. Even running XBMC on an original Xbox. But I

I do like Keynote (their PowerPoint alternative) but I do agree that everything else is absolute garbage. But I guess someone has to like it.

What people don’t need is someone dictating to them how they should relax after work. Besides, it’s not like TVs are the only industry where consumer choice is an illusion. You see the same problem in a lot of sports (I used to fence and th

Telling people to just go without a TV is a little more than a “perceived” inconvenience. The reality is that companies know they can get away with crap because they all get away with crap. And because they all do it, consumers are powerles

The point of tools like this is for development, not staging. By “development” I don’t just mean developers writing code, but any unit tests that require behavioural testing that cannot easily be mocked too. So by the time you’re ready to p

Knowing that user passwords have to be manually keyed, I don’t think the average person will have a 37 character password set ;) Typically they’re between 8 and 12 characters. Usually contain dictionary terms, with the first character capit

I have a pair and they’re fine for wearing when sat down. In fact they’re my preferred headphones for airplane journeys and noisy offices because the noise cancelling is top notch. However I tried to wear them one on a train commute and it

Nothing new here then. Back when I used to DJ some 20+ years ago, people would complain back then that Sony headphones would constantly break on them. Meanwhile I had Sennheisers and they could take an absolute beating and still work fine.

There’s plenty of rest stations that specialise in classical music. So it’s not that weird of an idea to have a “DJ” for classical. It’s just a different kind of DJ. Like how HipHop DJ is different from a trance DJ. And a wedding DJ is diff

I don’t see that option. Maybe the issue is my installation has broken in some odd way. I’ll try completely removing it and all preferences, then reinstalling.

Comments like yours miss the point. In fact worse, they just serve to stagnate FOSS because it pushes the assumption that the software is always right and users are idiots, without taking any time to understand what those users are actually

I use Gimp pretty sporadically but the latest UI refresh (I’m guessing introduced in 3.0?) completely baffles me. It might just be that it’s better tailored for graphic designers, which I’m clearly not. But now I can’t even figure out how t

Dr Who has had male companions since the very first episode. And I think Dr Who is at its strongest when it isn’t just the Doctor + one young girl. The Brigadier was a very good character indeed.

by hnlmorg 8mo ago
The literal reason for including companions from day one was so that the husbands had something to watch. The BBC have never hidden the fact that the companions were always there for eye candy. When you look at the pre-UNIT episodes (before

That era of companions was a response to the eras before then when companions were expected to just look pretty and scream on cue.

Yet such security bugs exist in their multitude. Plenty of internal-only systems are not locked down securely and only thing preventing mass exploitation is browsers CORS settings. But if request is originating from inside the network (as i

Normally with clean room reimplementations, you’d have the developer working from a set of requirements which have been gathered by someone else who reverse engineered the process. Here, neither steps are taken. If you’re supplying a BOM ma

Not the OP but I stopped listening pretty quickly because I was confused about how it was sorted. It wasn’t until I read your comment that I realised the sorting happened while you were listening rather than before hand.
