Adblocking also works pretty well on Safari, even better since iOS 15 added extensions. It’s pretty easy to install apps like 1Blocker and NextDNS on an iPhone and eliminate nearly all ads. More importantly, the platform automatically preve

I’ve never really considered a chromebook for development, and I’m almost certainly going to order a new MacBook pro next month, but we’ve been using Gitpod lately and it (and presumably codespaces) seem like they are really freeing develop

The comment is a bit incomplete in its description, but it looks like an accurate description of how Find My Phone has always worked. All that’s new is that a turned off device will be respond to queries.

In some cases. In other cases the government regulation is what puts people at risk in ways that the companies have no interest in doing.

That aside, there was a massive decrease in iPhone thefts when activation locking was introduced with the original “find my”. Something like this could further deter the portion of thefts that end up funnelling through shady resellers.

It’s extremely frustrating, and I was always surprised when I returned mid-range USB chargers because of whine only to receive a replacement with the same problem and hundreds of reviews that failed to mention it. I’ve never had an issue wi

It seems like the lead blood level indicator has been removed from this site, but a friend showed me this map of homicide rates vs one with lead levels from 18 years prior[0] and there was a pretty strong correlation. Obviously there are co

It’s easy to dismiss centuries of cultural evolution across thousands of extant and extinct societies. Taking a look at the absurdities of spending a small fortune on a wedding ceremony, the magical incantation of the vows out loud in front

Putting upgradeability aside, Macs typically have longer usable lifespans as evinced by their relatively high resale value. Anecdotally, it's common to find 5-7 year old MacBooks being used by their original owners (I'm typing on

I basically read it as: “Since it’s founding the US has never been a welfare state in any sense. Change my mind!”

Sorry I misread thinking you meant since it’s founding (until now), when has it been a welfare state. I was caught in a weak moment I guess.

From my experience with a deaf employee at an Apple store, it was actually pretty efficient, because communication was precise and to the point and there was no unnecessary small talk or attempts to sell me something I wasn’t asking for. Mi

The leverage means they go up faster, but they also go down faster. In regular investing you feel good when you get a modest return, and bad when you experience a modest loss. With leveraged funds you feel like a genius when the market goes

I’ll add an anecdote here that I’ve been really looking forward to playing with codespaces, and after seeing this post earlier today I spent a bit of time playing with gitpod, and reading up on comparisons. The clear pricing, prebuilds, and

Comparing the 1.6m person commercial core of a high-income 8.5m person city is a bit unfair. Manhattan isn’t expensive because it’s high density, it’s high density because it’s expensive (desirable). Californian cities could follow suit if

Parents do have a legal and moral responsibility to check on their children’s behaviour, and that includes teens. It’s somewhat analogous to a teacher telling parents about similar behaviour taking place at school. I suspect a lot of how pe
