However the Windows sync is only possible due to Apple providing an app for use in Windows which suggests its still within the Apple ecosystem. Apple could on a whim decide to discontinue their app for Windows.

How do you sync it to your Windows PC? Is it native Apple-Microsoft sync or does it require e.g. installing an Apple application?

I've found the Bitwarden to be hit and miss. Some sites work fine with it, others don't work. I haven't debugged it enough to work out whether the problem is on the Bitwarden end or the website end or something else altogethe

Here in New Zealand 4G has proved to work surprisely well for FWA (Fixed Wireless Access). I think the important thing is that the providers need to be very strict at limiting the number of customers they sell to. Here, the providers will p

Indeed, however there are still a few legacy games that I love playing that still do not work on Linux so I still keep Windows around for these. One of those long tail problems I guess.

That's still an issue with LCD as well though.

For me Zero tastes quite different and quite unpleasant. I had the same senstation of unpleasant flavour with Diet as well. If the only option was Zero/Diet/etc I probaly would just give up Coke altogethrer.

I agree. In my experience all the Coke Diet/Zero/etc varieties has this really distinctive taste and the aftertaste is also quite different from Classic. My husband is a fan of Zero and also claims it tastes the same. He has occas

The APFS article you link to states that "APFS does not provide checksums for user data."

Generally they check at the gate as well for international flights. So two checks -- one at check in and again at the gate.

ID isn't checked for internal flights within New Zealand, and I note other posts here saying it's not for Australia as well. European seems 50/50. So doesn't seem like a consistent policy to check ID for interal flights.

Not the case for internal/domestic flights in New Zealand, and I presume it's similar for other countries. Only on international flights do I see regaular requests for passports for understandable reasons.

Sounds quite similar to domestic flights in New Zealand.

The OP doesn't recall generating one. Genuine question: do you also like it when someone else generates a key for you without telling you? Personally I would rather know about it.

Indeed. I remember running Windows 95 on a 32MB machine and stayed on Windows 95 even after 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 were released simply because that's what worked well on the machines I had at the time. IRRC I had a P166MMX with 32MB of RA

Excatly right. They switched to USB-C only on certain classes of devices and even then only over a incredibly long period of time when they could have moved all of their devices over to USB-C fairly quickly given their vertical integration

AirDrop has its issues too. Used to work in educaiton at a school with 100+ iPads within reception range. Quite common to have A-to-B drops work but not the reverse direction i.e. B-to-A. Solution was often to ask another student C and use

I can consistently trigger it playing a video in any player under X11 e.g. videos in Firefox or in a standalone player like mpv/VLC etc. It's pretty damn obvious in certain types of videos e.g. action movies. But always on Intel G

It depends a lot on your desktop enviornment/window manager, distro, hardware, etc. I personally find Wayland works perfectly out of the box whereas X11 still to this day has issues with basic stuff like screen tearing that needs me to

Indeed, the dash in my name becomes a < in the machine readable part. The field separator is indeed double <<.

I have a dash in my last name. Some airlines keep the dash, some drop it and my last name becomes Namename, some convert it to a space so it becomes Name Name. My passport retains the dash and is so far the only travel documentation that do
