I tried using PowerShell or Hyper. But these are just so slow to start. So I'm always coming back to cmd.exe. It is fast and serves my basic needs just perfect. When I need more, I just type 'bash'. And bash also starts faste

Looks good so far. The Microsoft Surface Precision mouse still works in Bluetooth mode. Now I can definitely recommend this mouse. Tomorrow I'll test the Microsoft Surface mouse, AKA Microsoft Modern mouse.

While I do like Apple and their integrated hardware/software platform (see my problems with Dell XPS 15 reported in another comment), this also shows the problems with a monopole producer of macOS hardware. I still run a 2009 iMac and

Update: - So the bluetooth issue may be fixed with some stupidly hidden Windows setting in the device manager. - I forgot to mention that 3 of our XPS 9550 had their trackpad (and battery) replaced after the batteries inflated and pushed th

My trackpad broke too, because the battery was inflating and pushed it out of the case... Got a free replacement though.

Or dear! I tried about everything possible but didn't think it could be related to such a generic setting! Found this article that shows where it is: https://www.howtogeek.com/189856/ask-htg-how-can-i-keep-my-b...

Great idea, I ought to try that too! Now where did I stow away these glasses... and where do I find a 3D movie... :-)

Have a look at LIFX. They allow you to set the light temperature you want. I've replaced almost all lights with their LIFX mini (color) and couldn't be happier.

It's great to see WASM taking off! In this context, see also Blazor, which runs C#/.NET code on WASM. https://github.com/aspnet/blazor

Have a look at 1password.com and their family plan, so you can admin your parents too, in case they forget their master password. Can’t recommend this enough. Edit: If that helps, Troy Hunt and other security guys are also using 1password

I have an iPhone X and never used this feature except for showing it to the kids. But hey, I never thought of using it without talking! Sounds like a great idea to create personal emoji as you say. I'll give it a try.

It's impressive how this game spread. I've first read about it in Grubers iPhone X article on daringfireball.net. Then suddenly it was mentioned by xkcd and now appears in other news and finally HN. Great marketing strike. It&#x

I fully agree on the need for action. But I don't get why IoT should get a special treatment compared to outdated smartphones, PCs, Macs and even video game consoles. Any device that connects to a network is a potential target. So wh

I totally agree, though a MacBook Pro (note the Pro) with all these ports is a legitimate option. It's a similar situation as with the old Mac Pro and the new Mac Pro. Luckily they realized the problem. Honestly, Apple has the funds

They tested the performance of the hardware (CPU, GPU, etc), not of the APIs or updated apps. So the CPU and GPU of my iPhone 6 are just as fast as when they were released. But I can guarantee you that the camera app as well as a lot of t

I prefer the default theme on Windows 10 as there the title bars of the other windows like Settings and Explorer use the same style, which is the color defined in 'Colors' in the settings. Using the 'Light' theme makes F

I switched from Chrome to Firefox 57 beta and couldn't be happier. Only issue so far was the ugly black title bar on the Mac, but switching to the integrated 'Light' theme fixed that. Too bad 'Light' isn't th

Having purchased SuperDuper! in Mai 2008 for 30$ and still getting free updates for such a great tool has me slightly worrying... I really salute that, but wonder how sustainable such a business model is.

I would really appreciate an option for 2FA: Require both a PIN and Touch ID / Face ID to unlock the phone. With long passphrase to disable this again.

Consider giving it a try again with the Firefox Beta (or wait for 57 final next week). I switched back from Chrome.

Thank you so much! I tried it just now and that's what I'm looking for. Why isn't this the default on Mac? That black bar looks so out of place :-(

Great letter that is part of a great movement right now. It's not just Apple, but they're an easy target and rightly so. It has to start somewhere. I'm confident they're doing their usual 'wait for a week' unti

Anyway, congratulations Mozilla already for this great work. I'll try to convert friends and family back from Chrome ASAP.

I switched to Beta 3 weeks ago just to run version 57 and I couldn't be happier on my Windows 10 machine. Firefox starts much faster, is more responsive and I haven't seen a single crash. However, on my Mac, I really don't

Full ACK. Even without a case it never is or was a problem. It's just a little weird. However, the notch is indeed problematic when the iPhone X is used in landscape mode (tested on simulator).
