This twitter thread first brought to my attention how amazing this is: https://x.com/mattgemmell/status/1441497498573545478 I don’t want to spoil it in case people want to try to see it themselves, so I’ll just ha

Yes - it is an interesting decision that you can set repeat notifications for messages, but not for a phone call, which is usually considered more urgent. Wow! Did you know that you can now choose to set repeat notifications for messages up

I don't necessarily think it applies in your example, but I've heard some very silly reasons given by people as their reason for upgrading. I think a lot of the time people give an excuse, or perhaps even a justification to themse

I’ve often been keen to try this, but I’ve never been convinced the battery life is long enough. From reading Reddit anecdotes, sounds like 11-12 hours might be possible with minimal usage - would that be enough for you?

I also think this is correct. Apart from the fact that any reasonably modern cars will usually go into limp-home modes, or even stop driving, if errors are detected, I seem to remember something about an electric drive motor needing to spin

Cheers - I thought I might be confusing it. I’ve dug out an old black MacBook I have, and even though it has a light-up logo, it doesn’t look like it has the same 3D look as the Aluminium MacBook Pro.

Posting this because this is happening to someone I know right now. Their flight does not leave for another hour or so, but they will not be allowed on the flight. The flight is from India to Canada, and was booked months ago, on a Canadian

I'm having a hard time finding an image, but I think that the plastic apple (which also illuminates) is not completely flush with the lid - it protrudes slightly from it, or the edges are recessed, and it is slightly rounded. I'm

This is an incredible reply to receive! I suppose good current security practice is to assume that most of us will also be in a similar situation one day. There are services that I still have difficulty giving up, which are provided by comp

Just another random suggestion which could be astray... Is the port issue you're having with the 1TB expansion card, or is the SSD issue which you describe a separate issue, i.e. with the internal SSD? If you're having an issue wi

I wondered whether ChatGPT still had access to the novels. After using the DAN prompt, I asked ChatGPT to tell me the first 1000 words of Sarah Silverman's book The Bedwetter. It replied with 462 words, not 1000, but they do look like
