I built a daily technology briefing + community because I got pretty tired of the way technology sites work (just a vomit of news stories) and make about $2,200/month at this point, so I recently gave up my job to work on it. It's

Honestly fine with this, mostly given how bad 17.10 is. These folks are basically flying blind — a mess of a release.

As someone who made the same jump, Windows wasn't really a viable platform for non-dotNet developers until that happened. The state of Linux on the desktop is, frankly, a disaster — I spent months on trying to make it work, but wow, it

Hooo boy, I've had three replacements and now they insist it's my fault despite it being <1 year.

Because with Mattermost or Discord you have to maintain it yourself, and their tooling isn't very good?

If you think there's no lock-in I don't know if you understand what's going on here fully. Slack has lock-in from day one: as soon as people use it, it's hard to move away. We're an organization of 50 people and rip

What do you mean what if? This is something you can already do for calling + streaming music direct from the watch.

This is built by the Wunderlist people, and that's now dead :(

RIP Wunderlist, a shame they've decided to sacrifice a product with a good loyal following and brand for their own branded one, but alas. :(

It works, and really well at that! I've used it with everything from Webpack to Jekyll, and have had no problem over the last few months!

The 'host your own content' argument is a good one, but also a tired one. It depends what you're trying to achieve! Medium is a great way to grow your audience, particularly if you're looking for reach but aren't lo

I love how passive aggressive this is – it shifts from "it's a shame Apple is leaving" to "we could sue them over it" pretty quickly towards the end. They imply it's difficult to do, but also that it's bas

I have had the same experience; the Bluetooth stack is awful, the touch bar locks up constantly (or displays nothing at all), glitches often, crashes far more than my previous model and... is just awful in general. The switch to USB-C is ac

Epic read – and makes me wonder how long fixed services can truly survive. These kinds of speeds with little infrastructure surely scale better for those making the money, and are easier to implement for consumers too.

This seems counterintuitive, even if Windows 7/8 are on life-support now. Surely letting people just install the updates 'as is' is better than restricting them. That said – this is not so different from Apple, which puts com

There's actually some really solid advice in here – I never thought about Android as being "better" for reducing distractions, but the amount of control you can get over not having self-control seems useful. Apple, on the o

Very true - when I sold my Mac I was blown away that it had retained 60% of the resell value, and that Apple would still help me with support. I agree that the misnomer that Apple's "premiums" are ridiculous is far too out th

On iOS Apple switched it to being the default update quietly in a point release: https://arstechnica.com/apple/2017/01/ios-10-3-will-be-apple... It actually shows marked performance improvements, but that&#x2
