Microsoft seem to be exaggerate more than Dell, HP, Lenovo and Apple in my experience. Shockingly with the M1 Apple's battery life claims were quite conservative. I have been able to get an hour longer than Apple's claims without

If the past Surface Laptop's are to be our reference then expect 30% less than the numbers stated by Microsoft.

No 1TB SSD or 32GB RAM models with Ryzen is a damn shame.

I was much like you but I can say that AdGuard for Safari on iOS is pretty decent. Sure it isn't as flexible as Firefox+uBO on Android but it does a fine job at blocking ads and doesn't require any tweaking. The biggest benefit is

Nvidia Shield TV Pro is probably the "best" (read: least worst) option. However it runs Android so you can't escape Google if you go that route. In terms of functionality and quality is it the best option available though, th

For reinstalling macOS it is that easy. You can create your own USB install media either using Apple's tool or a third party one. Or the more common and easier method is to do an "eraseinstall" which does the same thing but w

Sounds great to me! Can't go wrong with a nice looking preview ;) Also I forgot to say I really appreciate you giving this away for free online. It is clear you put a tremendous amount of time and effort into making this.

Obviously I haven't read much yet but skimming through it for 5 minutes I am impressed with what I see. Great work! One thing I feel is missing, a PDF preview of a few pages so I can see how it looks in the digital edition. Not a huge

Not sure why this is surprising. The author is using macOS where closing a window almost always just closes the window while the application itself continues to run. Browsers maintain active connections for a number of reasons, the main t

To follow on to my other comment (didn't want to edit it as this is a separate point)... My reason for doing what I did is that a good friend and former manager died in his early 50s and I realised that could easily be me in twenty yea

By "providing for your kid" I assume you mean financially? There is no secret. I go without some things I would like but are not as important to me, such as an expensive car and expensive holidays. Basically if it qualifies as &qu

I’m 36 and followed a similar path “retiring” a few years ago to be a stay at home dad. I missed out on my daughters early years due to being a workaholic and didn’t want to do the same with my son. I failed to realise when I was young I ca

Ha such a true statement. I am mid-thirties but I agree with the sentiment with regards to sales of digital art as NFTs. I can see a use for NFTs such as for concert tickets but a JPG or GIF? Sorry but we already have good protocols in plac

Very cool! I love these hobby OS projects. Reminds me of Andreas Kling's SerenityOS http://serenityos.org/ Part of me gets a little jealous as I would love to do this. The closest I ever got was a minimal kernel and sh

I have yet to find a site that autofill fails on. Hacker News works perfectly for me and always has. As for Bitwarden locking (expiring) when the browser is closed, I disable that as my system is secured so locking the vault in the browser

This raises an interesting question. Can one fork the Signal iOS app, add features then publish to the App Store while using Signals infrastructure?

Unfortunately I am on iOS where there is no such functionality :( Kind of makes it worse in a way as it clearly shows they do care about backups just not doing it consistently.

Yeah I honestly don't care how they do it. I just want to export an encrypted blob with a passphrase and import it when needed. Store it on my device so I have to manually move it or store it on iCloud or some other cloud service. I do
