As a Surface Pro user it tickles me that Microsoft people are using iPads for the stuff the Surface was designed to excel at (no pun intended).

Yes, I have a TP-Link router and a separate access point (so two different SSIDs in my oddly-shaped home) - no doubt this doesn't help.

I went wild and bought four of these, to have a high-quality multi-room audio setup on the cheap. The trouble is, it almost never worked - I'd have two rooms working, or it would fall over after one song, or after three songs, or not w

I like that Micro Snitch's ears light up when the mic's in use, or his eyes light up when the camera's on, without the notification. As someone who uses audio/video capture apps a lot, it's a useful way to know at a

By choosing to make art, you become an artist, so in that sense only artists _do_ make art. This isn't art, though. Art isn't functional, art creates thought and emotion. Art has thought and emotion behind it. Code can make art, b

Nope, try emigrating to any country and see how un-dickishly they behave. Switzerland, for example. Immigration is not easy anywhere, and I'm always surprised when people assume it will be - or spend decades not sorting out their statu

I spotted Steam in ReactOS's application (package) manager, so maybe it already does.

Office 365 comes with a very good web verison of Outlook, which supports more modern features than most email clients do (such as Office 365 Groups). I suspect it doesn't bother them hugely that desktop client support is falling behind

Absolutely! I was reading these replies and thinking nothing made sense. Didn't realise there were companies trying to use consumer Skype for their corporate calls. We have SfB handling everything at work - including PSTN - and it work

It's not open source or free, but check out Xojo - xojo.com - which is a kind of cross-platform spiritual successor to VB6. Of course, Visual Basic lives on (as part of the free-as-in-beer Visual Studio).

For anyone who remembers the magic of compiling QuickBASIC programs but never experienced Visual Basic for DOS at the time, I highly recommend tracking down a copy and having a play! It's really special - visually editing forms/co

There was a 'Compile' option in the File menu. You might be thinking of QBASIC (which came bundled with DOS), which wasn't the same as QuickBASIC (a commercial program). When a friend first gave me a floppy with QB45 on it an

ScreenFlow does a fantastic job of recording the macOS desktop, including audio. I've got ScreenFlow on Cmd-Shift-2 and now RetroClip on Cmd-Shift-5!

I think the point is any profession that can wield unusual control over other things (or people) can be described in this way. That would include people like psychologists, hypnotists, marketers, politicians etc. Once you know all the trick

We have a couple of Polycom CX5000s too - the second one we had to source from eBay! We use Skype for Business for 100% of our voice and video communication, and have virtually no trouble with it. Any problems in my experience stem from rem

You can listen to some of the tracks made with these instruments here: https://bleep.com/release/56481-aphex-twin-computer-controll... Track 2 ('snar2') is basically a demo of the device.

I found it an interesting concept but pretty lacklustre as a piece of music, especially after the incredible Syro. What's there is nice, but hardly any of the ideas develop beyond "hey, look what I did with these instruments"

Nice game! This made me uncomfortable though (about CSS grid, not about the game): grid-area: row start / column start / row end / column end; So you have to put the rows (Y axis coordinates) first and columns (X axis coordin

Feels more like we're going backwards here in the UK. I was on an unlimited LTE plan for £17 per month for a couple of years. Last year, out of the blue, they told me they were capping it at 2GB. After much argument they agreed to rais
