Growing up in the 80s we would regularly listen to WKBW out of Buffalo in Virginia . AM has amazing range.

Do people cringe watching laptop updates too? Only niche, power hungry users feel constrained by hardware limitations these days. I do think some of the Apple Intelligence features are going to be pretty useful for regular folks. I also thi

There are three types of people when it comes to OLED/fast refresh rates. 1) OMG! What an upgrade! I will never own another phone without this! 2) Eh, I see what the difference is. I don’t care/it isn’t worth the price. 3) What ar

Some of the video modes are only available if you record directly to external media. 4k HDR ProRes 120fps isn’t going to transfer real time over usb 2.

Looking at an iPhone unlocks it. You can then read the notifications. You will see that there are notifications but the content is hidden while the phone is locked. It does not go to the Home Screen until you swipe up from the bottom.

Yeah, this article isn't all that persuasive to me. The contrast between "analog warmth" and digital convenience doesn't make any sense to me. True emulation of vintage analog gear will always be an approximation since t

Back in the early 90s I used a Noritsu printer. We had reference negatives on all the different film stocks, or at least all the ones we regularly saw there. We would group the jobs by film type. Set the calibration by the calibration negat

Last.fm had the best categorizing features I ever saw. Songs would. It only be listed under “female artist” but would also have things like “extensive vamping,” that really got to the heart of what the song was about. They got closer to und

The EU is a subset of “Europe in that report. Pretty sure Gruber also mentioned that the Middle East is also lumped in there as well for some reason. So yeah, the EU is bound to be a big number but it isn’t 25%. The biggest economies in the

Such a lazy take. Yes, they show ads based on what you search for in the App Store. They will also show apps based on location if the customer opts in to that feature. No other data is used. No browsing history, no purchase history, nothing

Not quite a perfect solution but you can use the iMac as an airplay display.

The article did say Apple was compelled to supply the data. Not sure what your point is.

What account are you worried about Apple deleting? If they nuke your iCloud account your info is still on the device.

I have also only been skimming the info but the issues seem to be: 1) Recall takes snapshots of user’s activity and then copilot analyses it and keep the info in a plain text database. 2) The database is accessible to other accounts in the

Unpopular opinion here but Apple’s approach to environmental stuff is more right than wrong. The biggest environmental impact of devices are in the manufacturing and disposel of them. At Apple’s scale all of the things they do add up. Their

Making music. The iPad is much better for performing than a computer. There is a huge range of instruments, effects, sequencers, etc. available on the iPad. Things like physical modeling and chained reverb can eat up processor cycles so mor

Analog synthesis. Using MiRack on my iPad mostly. Yes, that is a digital emulation of analog circuits I know but it is a great learning environment. Trying to get my head around feedback patches and self sustaining/generating patches.

There are still several Nethack servers you can use via telnet. Telnet nethack.alt.org is probably the best known one.

Untrue. At least in the US you can either sign up for an annual plan that continues until you cancel it or you can extend the 3 year plan in annual increments.

I find it far fetched that Apple would either hire terrible lawyers that lead them astray or competent lawyers that they then ignore. I agree that they are probably hoping to go to court. Maybe I’m just too American to understand but the id

I tried going back to writing in cursive and I was shocked at how different the process of writing was. When writing in script you have to think in terms of whole words. Writing in print is an atomic experience, one latter at a time. And of

I am getting the same vibes from this as I did when Google was found guilty of abusing monopoly power. People lost their minds because “Apple is so much worse!” Never mind that the two lawsuits filed by Epic against Google and Apple were ov

I am getting flashbacks to when Google was found to be abusing their monopoly and people went crazy because “Apple is so much worse.” In my brief look at the DMA it looks like Apple was targeted for specific things but sideloading as most p

Was it? So Apple’s lawyers are just idiots? There is a much greater chance that the law was not about gatekeeping or sideloading in general. If there is a clause that simply says that a platform owner can’t restrict apps then they should ha

Why? It’s one thing to say that you will never buy something because you can’t use it the way you want. It’s quite another to say that thing should adhere to your standards whether you buy it or not. It sounds even sillier if you make your
