It'll probably be fixed in a week or two at most and you'll forget it ever happened except when recounting stories of the good ole days of technology 20 years from now.

Most iOS updates are smooth and trouble free. Still the far best mobile platform in terms of actually receiving software updates and new features. In the case of iOS 11 I would guess all the software changes required for the iPhone X has ca

The old version of Disk Utility must have been pretty nasty to justify a full rewrite. I remember it getting quite unreliable at some point around 10.7 when with reading/writing disk images. Partly because the UI relied on non-obvious

Gnome and KDE both still make me want to puke up blood but I would agree there will come a point in the not too distant future where Apple's going to have to look at cutting Mac prices. I mostly buy second hand these days just because

The accessibility options do help some but I don't know of anyway to increase the font size. It become a weird mix of fonts that are either way too big or way too small. I use RDM to switch between different scaled resolutions dependin

That would just delay the problems getting fixed though. IIRC you can pass the installer a flag to skip APFS conversion.

I wish they'd spend some time testing font sizes in macOS. I'm either going blind or the font sizes on macOS, especially things like tab titles, are getting harder to read.

I have a nasty old drip coffee machine (the type you find in hotels, very high milage) sitting next to my fancy espresso machine at home exactly to make this type of coffee. I love all of god's coffee children.

Coffee is a dairy / flavor delivery platform for a lot of people. I don't think even the best vending machines can't compete with the selection of creamers and flavors a coffeeshop has to offer. There's also a lot of sno

That's a bad analogy or whatever it is. If you remove the camera from the phone you cannot take photos. If you remove the 3.5mm jack you can still listen to audio and even still plug in wired headphones with an adapter.

Nope. My iPhone 7 came with a pair of Lightning headphones which I leave in my backpack and an 3.5mm adapter which I leave plugged into my headphones at home. Basically if you don't use more than 2 pairs of headphones on a regular basi

Alternatively you can just ask to speak to a supervisor as soon as the CS rep answers. It's not rude and they won't get blamed for screwing up if you don't say anything to them. Most of the time your problem will be solved or

Apple Maps was never as bad as the media hype suggested at the time. It wouldn't surprise me if 2/3rds of users never encountered any major problems. While it was worse than Google Maps it was still as good or better than most aut

Apple Maps has also become a serious competitor. Apple is still playing catch-up in some ways but every year they keep closing the gap further. Almost every 'catch up' feature they have added is as good or better than Google'

I had a very similar problem recently with docker + nginx. Best I could figure out was the randomness of the problem was being caused by keep alive connection limits. If the connection was opened as IPv4 it would work until it hit the keep

Used laptops are a great option for a home server. I think people tend to overlook them because it seems counter intuitive to use a laptop as a server. It's actually super practical though. Nice to have things like a built-in display,

The irony of this is SMB servers are often setup with insecure configs exactly because it's so rarely used over public networks. Too many people assume public networks will be their Maginot Line against SMB attacks.

The take rate on paid software updates probably wouldn't be good enough for that to be a realistic option.

I agree with this but there is a good argument to be made that well engineered backdoors are better than intelligence agencies hoarding undisclosed exploits.

That's a great idea. Even better if there were tiny dedicated LEDs near the front facing camera and microphone to make it 100% clear what they mean. Communication privacy laws also need to be updated for modern times. It's a feder

Nginx reloads do have some issues. I've had problems related to config changes / reloads with limit_req, upstream ip hash, resolver, and userid.
