Besides wasting space, it also means the battery has to be a single monolithic entity, can't be too flat (or the case would use up the entire space the battery occupies), and can't have any components over it. Take a look at this

For such a niche use case, just stick the thing in a faraday cage bag. It doesn't matter that it has power if it can't exchange any signals with the outside world.

Because the "frontend" might be a native application that can't be updated on the fly and would break when the query changes out from under it. Or maybe it's a web app anyway but people have the web app open while you&#x

Apple has been doing this with iOS already, the only thing that surprises me is that they've waited so long before doing it with laptops.

This is a great way to confuse 99% of customers. It also violates the idea that all 4 ports are identical, and also poses a problem if the user has stuff in the other ports because now they need to swap multiple cables every time they want

So what you're saying is the language should not be able to work with pre-existing files whose names are not valid UTF-8?

What you quoted is specifically about traffic collection. I don't know where to find a definitive source on this now, but Apple used to have a marketing page that said > When you use Apple Maps, your route from A to B is fragmented

Stock is fungible. Domain names aren't. If I buy stock, as long as there continues to be sellers (and there will be for any functioning stock) you can buy stock too and the only effect my purchase can possibly have is, if I bought enou

Huh you’re right. That seems kind of counter to the purpose here, but I guess the intent was you can email {mailbox_id}@unverified.email

I may be wrong. I’m not the strongest with Haskell, but skimming the code, it appears to just dump all incoming email into the same dir and when you receive on a mailbox it scans the directory for any files containing the mailbox id. I’m no

It doesn’t receive email. It doesn’t have an email address. It’s an SMTP server. No third party will ever route an email to it.

The ids follow a set format, so it probably scans the email for all strings of that format, then looks them up against a dictionary of existing mailbox ids

No it's not. Buying a bunch of Apple stock for $1 apiece doesn't prevent anyone else from buying Apple stock too. Buying and squatting on domains prevents people from using the domains. It's strictly rent-seeking behavior and

The dropdown buttons appear to have customized the background color but not the text color. This leaves the text color at `color: buttontext`, and this color value changes with macOS Dark Mode. This is probably also why clicking on any of t

$19.99 for a rental, despite the fact that you’re watching it on a home system rather than a theater screen / audio system? That seems rather steep. I guess they figured they have something of a captive audience.
