Well Safari did not exist in the 90s but Apple was bundling Safari with iTunes back in the days ( https://www.cnet.com/culture/apple-pushes-safari-on-windows-... ). It was auto-selected, so people who quickly click on &#

I was about to say the same thing. As someone who moved from Java to C# around 2013, I always felt that C# was close to Java but with less bad parts and more good parts. Looks like Java's now borrowing a lot of the nicer features which

That's a good point and you are right. I have simply asked for the engineer to write the test in the past, but sometimes my curiosity just gets the better of me and I want to try it out myself. Other times I am not quite sure what is w

I only do it if I suspect that the code will not work. Sometimes I can think of edge cases that I suspect are not covered; so I check out the code, add the edge case as a unit test, and if it fails I mention it in the code review for the o

I sort of agree with this sentiment but I must say that the implementation of said features has been pretty sane so far, especially if you compare with C++.

I am not sure what the law is here in Australia, but as others have mentioned, a chargeback would have jeopardised my account. I don't pay for prime (although I think I actually had a prime trial at the time of the issue, which makes i

Definitely noticed this as well. Five or more years ago I bought a kettle from Amazon and two months later it starts leaking. Turns out it's a design flaw and a lot of reviews on the kettle mentioned the same issue. I sent a support ti

My last Fulton umbrella lasted me nearly a decade of London drizzle and Sydney torrential rain until I left it on a plane a couple of months ago. Sports direct (of all places) ships them to Australia and they are around half of your budget

Sounds like a proper workout watch like the Garmin or Suunto would be better suited for your use case? My Garmin lasts just over a week (less if I record a lot of activities, but even recording an 8 hour hike it still has over 50% left at t

I think you got the order wrong, two Astra doses seems to have zero risk of myocarditis according to the graph in the post.

It's difficult to quantify that but I feel that you are right. Imagine a term like "RTFM" being coined and used in popular tech formus today. Back in the days "RTFM" was a valid one-word response to any number of qu

So you're defining it as the capability to automate steering, accelerator and brake? (i.e. the three things that constitute driving) By that definition self-parking cars can also fully self-drive. My definition of driving is being able

I am not sure I understand the argument here as what you said highlights that Tesla's FSD is not fully self driving. Taking the dictionary definition of fully: "completely or entirely; to the fullest extent" I would expect a

That's not a very good argument: "made with" implies that it is one of several ingredients. If Cheezits said "made entirely of" then the consumer would be understandably confused if there are other ingredients. Thin

That's a real trove of information! I see there are no cloth masks tested. I'd love to know how useful they are (or can be) as I much prefer being able to reuse my masks. Edit: just realised that both Type and Style can be cloth a

Funny you should say that. WhatsApp became popular worldwide in part due to supporting such a vast amount of devices; including what would be known these days as 'feature phones'. It even works on some of Nokia's 'retro&
