ARM Windows runs well with Parallels. And it can run x86 apps.

Beeper wouldn’t have helped here unless he had already set it up on his mom’s phone. And then it likely would have confused her.

You can’t remove your last option. It’s probably happening because her Apple ID is her real email so she’d have to first change that which is way unintuitive. I think it’s best with Apple to log in with an iCloud email address even if you d

Ok, if some insane contrived hypothetical one day comes to life, we had better avoid going to chatbots for advice.

It’s not a question of evidence, but the law. There is no “duty to deal” with other firms. But if you choose to do so, you have to do so fairly.

Instant messages on the Mac were the same green for a decade before that.

I can see how an FGPA can perfectly emulate the logic of an older chip--but the actual physical layout is different, right? Are there any timing issues that result from this?

Windows and macOS are both more popular and usable than desktop Linux so I think it turns out fine.

If I don't work out every weekday I get cranky. But it took me years to discover exercise that I would consistently do, besides running. (I like running outside, exploring new routes, listening to audiobooks.) Turns out it was video

I find mice that are too “ergonomic” to be difficult to use.

He seems unconcerned about the actual truth and falsity of ideas, just how “useful” they are. The single most important predictor of economic success in life is the wealth of your parents: luck. Maybe some people find this “discouraging” a

No pagination. That is such an important feature for me in general, since it's much more comfortable way for me to read. And, since I would want to put this on an Android e-ink device, pagination is essential. Instapaper has been in

No. A full e-ink Android phone as a secondary device could be cool though.

I got one. I love it so far. I never liked the original Kindle size, since it was too big for my pockets, at which point, why not offer more screen? So I had generally preferred readers that are more small tablet / iPad mini size—Bo

Yeah. Margins are an important part of typography, but the "margins" of my phone include a bit of black bezel and some leather case. So text can get closer to the edges of the screen. And wasting phone screen real estate on the

I have a Boox and it's a surprising pain in the ass to just have it sync a folder. Not really an Android thing. You can use Syncthing or various third-party apps that sync a folder off Google Drive, but I'd like to just use Goog

Yeah, it's also a better mobile app (at least in terms of not wasting screen real estate) than Apple Books on iOS. However some percentage of books I try to upload just give me an error and the app and web app rarely get any love.

I have used a ton of ebook apps and have thoughts: For me, the main thing that matters, particularly in a phone, is not wasting a ton of space. Margins do help readability. But the "margin" of your phone includes bezel, etc. To

I like the 12.9” iPad for reading all kinds of documents, and video. I use it most as a “computer” when I remote in to my media server. But I still can do all my work on it when traveling, despite the inconveniences.

I am curious how this differs conceptually from "Basic English" which always struck me as quite linguistically naive. English is full of prepositional verbs like "shut up" that have a specific meaning that you have to j

In real situations yes. But in the software world “license” and “contract” are often used interchangeably, contracts that grant license will be called “licenses,” etc. So it leads to confusion.

by jxdxbx 3y ago
A “license” is legal permission to do something that would otherwise be illegal, such as copy software (assuming there’s no fair use etc), or even attend a concert. Licenses are often granted as part of contracts, but need not be. Unilatera
