That you can solve by either splitting the file or converting it into a lower bitrate/mono/different codec.

Sounds like you want a podcast app. Pocket Casts can do all these things. (Cloud upload needs a Plus subscription, though. But you could also self-host your own RSS feed with your files.)

Google Chrome is also offered via their Play Store and you can find even more ... interesting things with it. Maybe users should start reporting Chrome for making such sites accessible.

Think of the new M1 macs and how they can run iPad apps and how lots of developers opted out of their apps being offered for those new Macs because their apps are meant to be used on a touchscreen, not via trackpad and keyboard.

If you use an iPad as a sidecar, there's a touchbar there. However, that touchbar only works for apps you've moved onto the sidecar display for some reason.

Just permanently stick a tiny USB-A to USB-C adapter on the cable and they instantly do have the ability to connect via USB-C. It's that easy!

So you're saying if you're used to drive stick, you shouldn't think about buying an automatic at all?

Now try hosting two different web services on two different hosts inside your NATted network on port 443, so you can use https:// without specifying a port. Because that's the big advantage with IPv6 and users getting subne

Probably why Google still has separate Waze and Maps maps. One is where users meticulously keep everything up to date, the other is where you copy those updates and can sell this as your own product/service.

For me it's even worse. Here in Germany they're driving around capturing all data and taking photos but they don't update the StreetView imagery because of that huge blurring debacle back then when they launched StreetView he

I made it a habit to report all missing businesses/locations on Apple Maps I find via other means. Mostly for my own convenience but also to help others/those businesses.

A few weeks ago someone here (or was it on Reddit?) explained this: Since Google found advertising to be a huge hose where money pours out like crazy, they're trying to find another such hose. I think that explains a lot of their behav

That reminds me a lot of the situation with electric cars. For 99% of the brands, manufacturers depend on electricity companies to put up charging stations while those electricity companies are very hesitant because they're waiting for

As a direct fork, it’s currently 2282 commits ahead, 586 commits behind your uBlock. That amounts to about the commits since uBlock 1.29.0 - which is exactly the version they’re claiming to use. But yes, who knows what they’ve changed.

To make a fast website is rather easy, if you alone decide about it. But now think of a company, where marketing wants a specific corporate design, controlling wants 20 trackers, finance wants ads, etc. - and everything needs to work with w

I've recently switched to macOS and Safari with Wipr. I don't see much difference to my Firefox setup with AdNauseam (uBlock Origin) before. More on the contrary - my selected lists were very aggressive and I had various sites whe

If you can afford it, I'd suggest switching to AdNauseam ( https://adnauseam.io ). They're using the same uBlock Origin engine, but ads are downloaded and clicked on in the background. This way you still generate reven

But how would they increase loading speed on their main website to get a better ranking? Probably like many others: only load empty frames and pull in all actual content later. Which is similarly awful. With the difference that AMP can easi

Since this is HN, why not get some cheap managed server with email service? E.g. I'm using uberspace.de (shared server available for as low as 1€/month) and they run qmail. Big advantage: You can setup as many aliases as you like

This is only the tip of the iceberg, though. AirBnB hosts are doing hospitality business without having to obey any hospitality law. Also there are a lot of black sheep that occupy multiple flats in best locations so people that actually wa
