The feature works the same on iPhone. Looking through my duplicates just now, the detected duplicates that had a dozen or so photos to merge, are either high speed sports photography bursts or astrophotography—the rest were just mostly two

I have ~2.5TB of photos in iCloud, via Apple Photos. Excluding the various sized previews, I doubt many originals have been accessed in quite a while. I also have about 1TB Lightroom library archived to a different service; representing cou

I was an engineer at Cisco in the 00’s and my FIL, a chef, just assumed I worked for Sysco and would tell people when they’d get deliveries. I can’t remember how it came up, but it went on for more than a decade, well after I’d moved on. St

I’ve been looking into pump upgrade options for my Silvia, but I’d given up on gear pumps assuming they’d be too large/expensive. Do you have an additional info /specs on your pump? Hard to find it on the site. I’m most intrigued

What about arabica do you detest, specifically? What of origin, processing, roasting, and brewing differences? Arabica produces such a varied spectrum of cups, it’s really quite head scratching to hear you write off the entire species, yet
