Back the, the options were micro-USB or Lightning, and given those choices Lightning was the far better option.

The actions suggested here are about their employees and offices. This has nothing to do with no longer selling products there, which you seem to be implying. The only “leaving money on the table” might be related to if they end up paying m

I have no inside knowledge, but just observing the business motivation. SfB is bad because Microsoft doesn’t want people to use it; they want everyone moving to Teams. They also know they have an existing installed base, mostly (probably) o

I said interrogation, not torture. There are now at least a few law abiding countries (e.g. UK) where disclosing passwords is mandatory by law as part of an investigation, where interrogation is the process where they demand the suspect rev

Exactly this. In True/VeraCrypt, there’s only the possibility of having two keys, the main and hidden one. Just the existence of this feature places everyone using the software in danger (at least people who are potential targets of th

Many vegetables served in restaurants are cooked in a lot of salt, fat, and (surprisingly) sugar. You may not be eating as healthy as you think.

“Ok” to me is just acknowledgement of the message. It should not be seen as negative, just neutral.

This is what most people seem to get wrong about airplane seat belts—they are not there for the same reason as in cars: crashes. They are there to keep people from flying around and getting injured during turbulence. Crashes in commercial p

A major thing that’s overlooked in the phone spam discussion is the fact that when people have to deal with medical issues, especially chronic/ongoing ones, they need to allow calls from unknown callers. Doctors offices often have mult

That’s pretty much what everyone means when they say “save the planet”. Short of completely quaking the entire planet into dust, everyone knows that the hunk of rock will still be here, and probably some level of biological life with it. Th

That’s the one issue I’ve had as well, and I think I’ve traced it to Firefox (this could easily be something that happens with other things as well) not using the correct font name when saving to PDF. Even if the CSS says “Arial”, it saves

One thing I think LO should focus more advertising on is the PDF editing capabilities of Draw. It really works very well and I can pretty much get anything I need done without having to resort to Acrobat. This could be a good way to get a f

It’s not foolproof, but if you want 10-12 to work on something, block your calendar so people don’t see an open spot to drop a meeting into. You might get overridden sometimes, but most of the time it will work.

I very much like VirtualBox and hope it continues to be around. However, there has been an open job posting on the site for a while now, and just after that popped up, the release cadence dropped from once a month to around once every two m

The price consumers pay for something has nothing to do with the cost of producing it. Not counting the cost of the land itself, an identical house built in the city costs the same in hours and materials as one in the country. Price is dete

PalmOS had a few apps like this—SplashNotes is the only one I can find—and I’m still surprised that something like that hasn’t been carried forward to newer platforms. The best one can do is use MS Word in “Outline View”, and then you can i

(In non-COVID times) People still like to get out of the house and go do something. Going to a movie is one of the things they might like to do. However the high cost of a movie ticket is a deterrent to some, so lowering the price is a reas

It would be very rare that any company passes the wholesale cost directly to the customer. There’s almost always some kind of markup, even for things like “administrative overhead”. Maybe that’s not widespread now, but the clear trend is re

This is the inevitable and foreseeable result of the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, and it perversely discourages IPv6 adoption. Once something has a cost, it has the potential to become revenue generating, and once that happens the incentive

No, “deferred compensation” is very much money that has been paid to you, but you don’t immediately have access to it because it is stored in an account with some kind of restriction, like a 401k or IRA. This is done to avoid having to pay

This is why FDE is mostly the default on all of the devices you mention. The secret keys are stored in the TPM or equivalent. Most SSDs for Mac/PC also have an OEM software option to trigger a secure wipe using special software from th

I think this is the real point about Perl code readability: it gives you enough flexibility to do things however you like, and as a result many programmers are faced with a mirror that reflects their own bad practices back at them.

Pretty much most of them. Anytime you hear people complaining about how IT is nothing but a huge expense (which is by far the biggest complaint made by business people about IT), they’re in a company like this. It seems to be mostly the rea

You make very good points. This kind of system only works with strong support from the CEO, where everyone is firmly “on the same team” and has designated positions to play (e.g. IT has to provide the IT stuff). Once you allow shopping arou

That’s only if you take a naive view of IT (which most people do because it’s the lazy approach). Laptops, servers, networks, email boxes, etc. should all be charged back to the departments those are actually being provided to. When you do
