   I agree with much of what you said, but I think there is another advantage of autofill which I think copy and paste misses out on. If autofill usually works perfectly day after day, and then one day it fails, for example because the passwor

   I agree, but I think the point regarding Shakespeare's spelling was probably referring to the way he may have spelled his own name differently at different times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_Shakespea

   I like when the naming convention is consistent with the front half of the name going with the front half of the object, so the Zubian must have the front half of the Zulu...or the Sileighty must have the front of a Nissan Silvia (and the r

   Includes iPhone 5s (first released late 2013). Happy to see security updates being offered, though I’m unclear how many security issues are being fixed for the unsupported phones since they don’t receive updates every time there’s an iOS 14

   Another ridiculous comparison - 70.2 gflops on a iPhone SE 2016 (actually it hit 109 at one point, but that seems to be a fluke, whereas ~70 was hit fairly reliably).

   I'm sure you're right about increasing motor power being cheaper than adding gears, but just thought I'd add that my understanding is that you might then also need to increase battery capacity because the rate at which Li-ion

   I assumed the comment above meant that if they don't save any for a slower eater, they're bad friends (likely at least partially a joke).

    I find it surprising that the 5S has had 6 more updates since it was dropped from support when iOS 13 was released. The last was just over a month ago. I hope that this is a sign that Apple will continue to provide security updates even aft

    I didn't see the article as disagreeing with the headline. I thought the headline was using "eliminated" in the epidemiological sense: "Elimination to everyone means that it is gone. But in epidemiological terms, it mea

    Someone with a better clinical understanding than I do can probably shed more light on this, but the NZ Director General of Health briefly touched on this, saying there is a difference between elimination and eradication in medical lingo. T

    Since this is an article about an Android phone, I realise giving an iOS solution for this may not be that helpful. For anyone using iOS, the Apple Shortcuts app has an action "Get Contents of URL". You can use this to make a shor

    I would assume a joke based on the scare quotes around the spelling of "centre". And at the risk of killing a joke (which I liked), I found the chart of "centre" vs "center" usage interesting: https:/&#x2
