I’ve never had that problem, using a Buffalo drive station mini (which I upgraded the 2 SSDs without issue either), neither with Akitito thunderbolt 3 4-bay thing. Both products are discontinued though. People complained about the Akitito o

If you find PDF painful because you can't reflow text or edit it, newsflash: you are using the wrong format. Industries that use PDF extensively: legal and printing. Neither of them want to be able to change documents. To preempt: I wo

Busses have to be one of the worst modern mass-transit options. Auckland NZ has bus lanes, so that is fine. But they are diesel. So they are noisy and polluting. Get two or three busses in a row and you cannot see past them. They block enti

I'm finding some of the disagreements under this comment frustrating. Movie people, please don't redefine what lossless actually means. If you find a way to encode say a cryptographic key, or a text document, say, your employment

On the upside, if Facebook was the only company that could shadow ban, that would be a win for the rest of the internet, and a bit of an own goal for Facebook since the practice is pretty despicable.

Adobe should read this and understand it. Veteran users of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign get updates that change the default way of doing something and they don’t even provide a UI to change back. Don’t fix long-standing bugs, just ch

Wouldn't this be a breach of some consumer law? They told you one thing and you signed up on that basis. It's misleading.

I was surprised by "The list of major changes to Windows in just two years, for free", - impressive. Although er, every single one of them is also on OSX and also has been for the last couple of years.

This is not so an idea of it's own. But, the thing that still wows me when I really consider it, is scales. I don't think people outside of this field ever really consider just how small and just how fast these switching machines

I've seen the boiling frog analogy used on humans in regards to climate change... Knowing the frog had it's brain removed somehow makes it seem even more analogous than less really.

It pisses me off that MS would detect a browser and block it when they have done as much as they can do to prevent web developers from detecting IE/Edge for much the same reasons: that it's not up to the job and will cause a bunch

This is great film, I highly recommend it. It was released here about a month ago (NZ). Though I didn't know that there was a 3D version as well.

I don't believe the parent is not saying that, they are saying these employers are using age as a metric but calling it 'skills'. In which case they better be able to explain what these supposed skills are.

I think it really only means 'dystopian' to people who have not read 1984. Otherwise there is a perfectly good word:'dystopian'.

It is NOT poor planning if the plan was to file on a day that the system is supposed to be up and running.

The higher end models have heated blowers. But TP is kind of superior to that imo.

A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari on Coursera. There is also a book (that I have not read) called "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" which I think was quite popular. It was not quite was I was expecting yet it

Yes, exactly. You can sign up to Facebook, but you may not get the notifications you were expecting. You can even set up notifications via email or text message so that you don't have to log in to the site, but what you will get is a s

They are just preventing several potential headaches in their view. If I build something and I don't want end users to do X with it, I'm entitled to do that. If the user doesn't like it, the user can go elsewhere. Those are t

He is not describing SJWs, which is a fairly modern concept and usually used idiotically by people who don't have the brain power to understand issue X. He's talking about those that might describe themselves as moral majority. P

I don't know what the problem is with implementing opt-in community block lists. This gives blocking functionality, and offloads the responsibility to communities that users can subscribe to.

Take a look at Fitbit's website and see just how many product variations they sell... For their single category of product which is a fitness tracker. Apple sells one watch and we know what it does. The story of Job's and his four

Yeah I'd agree on that. I mean though if you are trawling an artists catalogue. In that case I think it's reasonable to want to listen to a discography in the order that they were released, once you've decided that you want t

It's not even that arrogant imo. People who regard themselves as serious about music will smirk and nod in agreement.
