I wonder if the preview build is un-optimised (ie built for debugging/testing) which makes it slower?

From a developer perspective, the Google Play Services are so damn convenient, and they work well. When it comes to push notifications in particular, I don't know of an alternative which works quite as well as Firebase (if there is, pl

I guess they could provide their own implementations of the Google Play Services API's?

Cool article, one thing: > The designer had sent me some Adobe Illustrator files, and I couldn't open it on the MacBook. Can't you just change the file extension to pdf to open an Adobe Illustrator file?

I heard about a subreddit a while ago, where every post/comment was a random string. It was speculated at the time that something similar was going on.

Well I was thinking specifically about iOS :) There's no possible way to read SMS messages programatically in iOS for example, the closest you get is reading one time passwords sent, and you can only do that when the user has the keybo

Very interested to know what this means in practice, particularly for iOS. AFAIK, there's no permissions which allow you to read SMS messages, take screenshots (unless jailbroken), access photos in the background, access the camera in

I have a question, if you remotely wipe your iPhone is it usable at that point, or bricked? If usable, couldn't a thief just steal your iPhone and wait for you to wipe it?

I legitimately don't know my iCloud password, it's in (and generated by) my password manager, so if my phone asks me for it, I need to go to my PC and open Keepass. I'm a bit fucked if I get mugged!

What’s the downside to drinking 2 litres of water/day, 1 apple/day and cutting back on the saturated fats? I figure you may as well.

Doesn't that violate the Apple store's terms of use in a completely different way (ie adds no functionality outside of what the user can do in the browser?)

Lovely. If you are enjoying yourself and learning new things, why stop? Worst case scenario, it won't work as a business, and you will have learned some new skills.

I'm reading this as well, about a quarter of the way through, so far it's really interesting.

I'm 30, and was never really bored as a kid, thanks to my Sega Mega Drive, followed by my N64, followed by my Playstation 2 and the internet, etc. I think you need to go back a lot further to find that generation.

It sounds trivial, but I find a pen and notepad to be helpful. I write down a list of tasks I want to accomplish that day, and then tick them off as I go. Once I get to the end of the list, I'm done for the day and can have a beer (or

I was really disappointed with MalwareBytes. It seemed great, so I paid for it, and every other week it would de-activate itself without warning. I would only notice this when explicitly checking the control panel, to find it had been turne
