The other night, sleepless and excited by having found a few commands around podcasts / reading kindle books back (apparently "read from my Kindle" is an Audible command, grr) I tried: "Alexa, play me a podcast&quo

The slightly worse, but less likely (?) thought is that Facebook is tracking notifications. I thought you needed to enable a specific permission around accessibility for that, but still...

Couldn't you just append null to a given filepath to get the same result, or am I misguidedly assuming that >> creates files that don't exist?

So, based on what I just skimmed by searching for "virtual", it's exactly what I remembered: You're allowed to run a VM of OS/X only on licensed OS/X? Amusingly, this is the method that most hackintosh-style OS

Just to point out that assuming "most wireless HID devices are Bluetooth" is likely incorrect - a huge amount of the devices I see come with a dongle of some kind, that plugs into... (you guessed it) USB A sockets.

IIRC, he returned his last trial-Surface device and bought one with his own cash. Based on the article (he's been lent this device for the last week or so), I imagine the same thing may well happen if he's happy with it - which it

That's fair - I just find it's horrendously unstable (often hanging or crashing) with only a few (under 8, generally) tabs open (also on an SP3), whereas Chrome / FF will handle up to hundreds with no issues.

Thanks! Was just wondering about the availability for Edge. ...not that Edge isn't hilariously un-fun to use, even with an adblocker...

Annoyingly, it worked for a bit when it was first released (as I was subscribed to GPlay Music at the time). Was nice, and I actually started watching videos on my phone / chromecast more. Ads being back is annoying.

Seems to have happened on both the share-site links on the page, sadly. And sadly, seems that the torrent isn't working [for me].

If I'm not mistaken, they meant that text == text, just as video == video - not that text and video are directly comparable. There's no difference between a printed and bound book full of (for the sake of argument) Tumblr posts an

Sorry for the late response, but I apparently left it open over the weekend. I believe that the Core has no inbuilt microphone, instead relying on a bluetooth headset / 3.5mm jack for sound in/out.

The Pebble Core is actually a very small screenless Android-running machine. It has more in common with your phone than your Pebble (assuming Android / Pebble owner ;)).
