This problem was one of the things that drove me to get a new iPad Pro recently. I assume it is a RAM issue. And the fact that Apple doesn't sell first party cases for devices as old as my last iPad Pro, and my case was falling apart.

I doubt that any of these rules are things the author considers to be proprietary opinions. The majority of them are common guidelines that are echoed by any competent graphic or UI designer. Many things like line length and leading have be

In other news, water is wet. Junk email classification seems to be hard for everyone. I've seen Apple and Google do similar things with their respective email clients and messages from their own companies. At a previous job, we might h

That "four to five hours" didn't make any sense to me either. Perhaps they meant that doing this for a batch of bits takes that much time? It also struck me as disappointing that the actual grinding of the flutes was not real

Searching for recipes turns out to be a great use for ChatGPT. You can give it pretty fuzzy search parameters and have conversations about adjusting the recipes and it will just give you a simple list of ingredients and instructions - no BS

If you need to build a CAD model of 8020 frames, Onshape is a collaborative, cloud based system which is a bit like Google docs and Github for mechanical CAD. There's a bunch of tools to create frame systems and they have the 8020 fram

I've spent a decent amount of time visiting factories in the US and Asia, and despite "how it's made" or other videos showing a ton of automation, so much of manufacturing requires people. Until you're making millio

I worked with someone who took a lot of screenshots and dumped them into powerpoints as a record of the work done on projects. It becomes a way of journalling or recording. Having that kind of record is really helpful, and I wish that I had

Try doing an image search in Google for "flowchart". The first 18 images have diamond shaped decision boxes, like an ISO flowchart. In fact, as I scroll, nearly all of the images look like ISO flowcharts. Searches which yield grap

A "flowchart" is an ANSI/ISO standard which looks really different than this. [0] Why call it a flowchart when it's not a flowchart? It's really confusing and not helping your marketing. [0] https://en.wi

"Obscure dark techno from 1990 Berlin" yielded a playlist with a 2009 remaster of Kraftwerk. Kraftwerk is one of my favorite bands, but it's not obscure and it's not from 1990 Berlin. On the same list are a bunch of band

I didn't have a 2600, but my friend did. Pitfall was by far the game I remember going to his house to play. It really was worlds better than the rest. This was also a time (1982) when arcade games (Star Wars, Tron, Zaxxon, etc.) and th
