They acquired Primephonic [0], an app and streaming service geared exclusively towards Classical music, a couple years ago. This month, they are launching Apple Music Classical [1], which is basically a separate app and experience from Appl

I mostly follow this, with the additional criteria of how often the tool will be used affecting the level of quality of my initial purchase. “Buy once, cry once” is basically the opposite of your philosophy, and my personal philosophy lies

That is an inaccurate history. Nest has always been IP-based and drove much of the initial Thread standard. Their radio was 802.15.4, but not Zigbee.

I see a lot of confusion in the thread regarding IoT, and to clear up some of that, IoT operates across multiple different layers of the OSI model: PHY, Network, Application. PHY is how data is modulated (think radios, etc), Network is how

I’ve followed Kris Harbor on YT for a long while. He’s got a hacker’s mentality and a work ethic that puts most (including myself) to shame. He has recently started spec’ing and building custom, small-scale hydropower systems for clients. T

It is not RPL. Thread defines it’s own routing algorithm, specifically to solve two key problems: a single point-of-failure from a single border router, and to allow for ephemeral, sleepy devices. It is similar to RIPng.

A lot. Mesh routing, security, onboarding, and more. 6LoWPAN pretty much only describes how to compress IPv6 headers into 802.15.5 packet sizes

Yes, thank you. Spring Boot is annotation hell. Annotations are the worst part of Java—it’s what happens when a language can’t support a true DSL. Just as ridiculous is the HttpSecurity method chaining “DSL”.

This is something I have anecdotally heard from many people, regardless of their age or experience with tech. I myself set up a widget for my parents (in their 60s) to surface photos and memories on their iPhones, and they derive more daily

This YouTube video is blocked for me in the US, but for anyone else curious about the book and it’s history: It not a copy of Dune, but a copy of a book created to show the vision of one of the first (failed) movie adaptations. French direc

One big difference in the US is that most telcos also have ad businesses, and this will negatively impact them.

In Swift specifically, switch statements are exhaustive, so adding a new case to an enumeration that is switched on will automatically give you compilation errors at every point in the code base where that enum is matched against. Which, in

Yes, there are. Bale shape determines some characteristics of the hay, and While the majority of hay is cut for and consumed by cows, horse hay is another matter. As horses are far more expensive animals, higher quality hay can fetch a prem

Guessing GP means “have the option to buy”, regardless if the current owner is selling.

This news should take into account the current rental car market situation: that is, absolutely bananas. Rental companies buy cars on leverage, and sell them used after a short lifespan. They sold off their inventory at the start of the pan

Yep. Interesting that a 3rd party has developed and released a LiFePO4 battery pack for the Prius [0]. It is cheaper than the OEM NiMH pack. I'm on some Prius forums and it has been interesting to see the amount of detail owners get in

This might be the best critique of big tech, if these results were to be framed this way: - Algorithms are designed to give people more of what they want - YouTube's policies are designed to protect people from bad things - People want

That's probably a false dichotomy. I'd imagine many religious people who homeschool also pragmatically believe they can provide a better education.

Decades of experience helping protect my parents PCs tells me this isn’t true. As soon as the option is available, it will be exploited by bad actors. I guarantee that “app stores” will prey on my parents fears or confusion to get them to i

If they come out with a utility van version of this (ie, Transit), I can see it becoming quite popular. With the onboard inverter and 240V, there are a ton of trades and custom campers that would immediately find use for that. It would be r

What happened 12 years ago? 2008 happened, and resulted in a decade of incredibly low new-vehicle output. Add in the Cash for Clunkers program, and used inventory levels are about as low as they’ve ever been. This is the same as the housing

I switched awhile ago, and have now gotten the bundle as well. I bought an app on iOS called SongShift that has handled migrating my playlists very well. It’ll even keep them in sync both ways. My musical preferences did not lend themselves

Both authors saw PEP-649 as a solution, with no need to raise alarm bells. If you follow the discussion of the last proposal, you’ll see that it’s acceptance is now in doubt, and it’s inclusion in 3.10 seems unlikely. Both authors have been

The sheer degree of superiority in your comment is stunning. I worked lots of jobs before my career in coding. Manual, sometime menial work. The fact that you deem me to be a “proud slave”, too stupid to even see my shackles might be the mo

But the code wasn’t even used, from what I can tell. No one is even making that claim. It was just an idea for a feature.
