i love everything about multi-account containers except when it comes managing two google accounts (for work and personal). I can never get them to work proeprly with the number of redirects and whatnot. not sure who to blame here but i hop

You can't dispute a charge until it's posted (at least with two of my banks) and it can take up to 2-3days before a charge is posted. A charge will almost always show up immediately on my bank's website as pending.

just upgraded to Firefox 94 and they do warn for CMD + Q. Maybe they are talking about a three-key command that we are not aware of.

does it support offline maps/offline navigation? why don't they support offline maps? it's not like they have to pay royalty fees to support it when they own it end to end.

if you don't trust the developer, don't buy it just like on web. the more likely scenario is Paypal, Amazon etc. are going to provide SDKs and developer can use that for checkout instead of going through App Store.

Apple maps still doesn’t support offline navigation which is a huge issue for me as someone who visits National parks. I used to have a Nokia windows phone back in 2014 which had terrific offline maps and navigation. I still can’t believe

Even if someone else runs the errands for me for free, i would rather have 4 day work week and run the errands myself. When i go to the shops by myself i might purchase something I wasn’t planning on purchasing or check out a new ramen sho

Whenever I take a random weekday off I realize how quick I can run errands on that day. Going to Costco on a weekday? Much shorter lines. Going to USPS? No lines at all. Getting an oil change done? Barely any wait. I wish more companies ada

I must be following 50+ iOS developers on Twitter and none of them have liked this tweet. It's surreal. I feel like people are afraid of Apple's retaliation if they like this tweet.

I disagree. the 3 day delay is not because they want to put best security practice. If that's the case how does apps like Zelle transfers money instantaneously? I know in India, bank transfers are instantaneous and the receiver gets no

I have a feeling that this 'allows' Bose and Sony to raise their prices causing everything to normalize around $500 price range. Remember the original pixel (or nexus)? they were priced around $350-$400 and look where they are now

my only complain about containers is that it doesn't work well when you want to authorize an app. For example, I want to sign in with Google on my Zoom app but since i told them to always open google domain on my B container, it opens
