IANAL, but this whole section of the Big Sur license is a bit of a mess to read and understand — for example, per section 2B(i), copies of the OS downloaded from the Mac App Store by individuals may only be used for "personal, non-comm

For the sake of science: Microsoft historically used the 21 512 byte sector, 80 track, double-sided DMF format for 3 1/2" Windows installation media, yielding 1,720,320 bytes per floppy. Assuming this format, floppy requirements f

Something appears to be wonky with the ICC profile embedded in this image. And while I have no idea whether the file itself complies with applicable standards, I can say that ImageMagick is not a reliable test in this case. To wit: 1. Per

Yes, the LG Netflix app works as well as anything else I've used (and continues to work after opting out of the various agreements for adware and telemetry, for whatever that's worth). In fact, the LG "magic" motion-sens

On the bright side, unless VMware's interoperability database is mistaken, vCenter 6.7 U3 can manage hosts back to ESXi 6.0, so this is at least "retrospectively true" unless you're stuck on an earlier vCenter version.

Adobe used Myriad as a corporate identity face for nearly a decade before Apple. Garamond has a rather more extensive history, but, suffice it to say that, in terms of typography at least, 1984[1] was not entirely unlike Nineteen Eighty-Fo
