As someone who has attempted to use the original Chromebook Pixel as a development machine, I'm glad to see they've added more storage options. The original Pixel had 32GB of storage, and this one offers 512GB. For those unfamilia

I used to use a VPN solution on Android without root, but I eventually switched from Chrome to Brave, which has worked quite well. https://brave.com/

Even one 'silly' rejection is enough for me to consider the review process problematic. I've seen the same app pass review many times, and then suddenly it's rejected after a routine bug fix or minor update. Yes, there&#

I think the "poor" comment was meant to be a joke about the recent claim that the Snap CEO said that he didn't want to "expand into poor countries like India and Spain."

The article makes a point that if ESPN charged $15 a month for a standalone streaming channel, they'd need 43 million subscriptions to make up for revenue it gets from cable packages. In the same paragraph it mentions that ESPN pays mo

What amazes me is that the vulnerabilities have been known for many months yet haven't been patched. Maybe I shouldn't be too surprised. I bought a Dropcam two years ago before Nest/Google acquired them. It worked fine for a

I like the idea of getting the first part of a movie for free, although I can imagine movies would eventually be written and produced in such a way to hook you in at the beginning with less attention given to the ending.

What reason is AWS premium support mandatory? I ask because I'm currently building out SaaS offering on AWS and haven't yet hit any issues requiring support. Can I expect to start seeing issues as traffic scales up to a certain le

I always liked the idea of standardizing on notes with the formula Cx = 2^(x+4)Hz. In reality it's fairly arbitrary, but in this method the frequency would follow numbers familiar to programmers, e.g. C5 = 512Hz C6 = 1024Hz C7 = 2048Hz

I'd like to know what percentage of help desk calls are related to hardware vs OS vs software. I can believe that the Mac hardware is more reliable. However, a lot of help desk calls I remember making were because some legacy software

I wouldn't say that it didn't live up to the hype. I think it just has a steeper learning curve than a lot of other NoSQL databases and is often overlooked. MongoDB makes a lot of sense to folks already familiar with relational da

One of the things that's burned me in the past with React Router is not just that the API changes from version to version but that documentation I'm reading at any given time doesn't indicate which version it refers to. I&#x2

I've been using the container service for a few months. I have encountered a case where my running containers completely disappeared and was told by support that this was because of a "migration". They claimed to have notifie

My grandfather was a Ford man. He would only ever buy a Ford, even during periods when other manufacturers were making vastly superior vehicles. I used to think such loyalty was a silly generational thing. My generation was a fickle consume

I've been running 16.04 beta for the past month on a Thinkpad P70 with a 4k display, and scaling has been great. The OS UI elements (like menu bars) can be scaled to any size. Most applications seem to work out of the box. The ones tha

I've been using BlueMix off and on since it was still Beta. I have noticed that a lot of things, particularly in the BaaS space, have changed significantly. While I'm sure BlueMix will be around, I doubt you'll make it 3 or

I would say the argument doesn't have anything to do with premium pricing and everything to do with lock-in. In the case of AWS, prices are cheap. But once you've built your software to use all of the proprietary AWS services, it&
