My reply is a little off-topic but I wanted to share as it is Flight Simulator related. Last year an old boss and friend passed suddenly. He had only just turned fifty but the years of poor eating and sitting caught up with him in his late

I would argue that was more a mistake of Ballmer than Gates. Sure Gates was still involved with Microsoft but it was Ballmer who ran things day-to-day when the iPhone and Android hit the scenes but he was too blinded by Windows prior succes

Speaking of disabling JS. I wish Firefox had the same simple per site JS toggle like Chrome has it the Site settings area. I can't find a way to disable JS per site without using an extension such as uBlock Origin. Firefox has some sit

Overall that was a very good WWDC keynote IMHO. The Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR certainly seem to deliver on what "everyone" has been asking for over the past few years. Those prices are in another solar system to consumers so we

But what about things like pinch zoom, elastic scrolling and such? I know there are some extensions but all that ones I have tried (the top 5 that come up in search) are all janky. While not a deal breaker it would be nice to have a more na

I want to use Firefox on my Mac but it just feels so out of place. Are you using any extensions to get a more true macOS feel? While Chrome isn't perfect it doesn't feel anywhere near as "multi-platform" as Firefox doe

> Apple made far better computers in 2015. The competition also being shit doesn't excuse Apple's regressions. Totally agree with you there. My opinion on it being "unfair" on Apple is more to do with the fact that su

I have a max spec 2018 15" MacBook Pro and I love it but this update is just dumb . The 2018 model can't fully use the current hexa-core CPU so slapping another two cores in isn't going to help things. It is going to be basi

On the flip side I switched from a Dell (XPS 15 9570) to a MacBook Pro 2018 15" last August after multiple issues with the Dell. I've not had a single issue with the MacBook Pro yet. Not a single crash/kernel panic, no keyb

I admit I don't really pay much attention to my whois privacy outside of my name and direct contact details. I don't have issue with my country being listed for example so I don't have any other suggestions for you sorry.

A month ago I finally switched away from G Suite to FastMail and have been very happy. I also transferred my domains over to Gandi so I am basically Google free from a services perspective (with the exception of a Google account for YouTube

The author does touch on this on page 76 of the book (quoted below) GTK 2 and GTK 3 One thing worth mentioning at this point is that there are two versions of GTK in use. The current version is GTK 3, and this is still under active devel

One complaint I have about macOS is that there is no way to disable animations. There are a couple of options to reduce motion but nothing to totally remove them all.

Indeed. I don't have Trypophobia but it does kinda make me feel a little uneasy. Just looks awful to me.

Yes 5G is what is on my mind also although that comes with different problems such as network access. How about a controller with an RJ-45 so I can plug directly into my router :)

by satysin 8y ago
By directly connecting the controller to the service via WiFi it removes any potential issues with the device having to act as a proxy for the controller input. For their dedicated Stadia set top box it isn't a big deal (as they will c

Agreed. I have tried using a tablet on the sofa but I just find it a poor experience. If I need to write something I either need a case with a shitty keyboard which basically makes it a crappy laptop in form factor or I have to lose half th

Mostly I didn't like the keyboard and key design. I am fine with the butterfly switches as I have them on my MBP but the rubber texture that introduces a slight wobble/tilt on the keys I found very hard to adapt too. Also lack of

Tried this a few weeks ago. The iPad Pro has the power but iOS is just too limiting still. You still need a remote system to do any real work on so it is just a £1000+ dumb terminal with a really dodgy keyboard (if using the Apple Smart F

Yeah that is a pain in the ass. I don't understand why macOS updates take so long. My guess is it also updates the recovery partition as well? It is the same with a macOS clean install though. Windows 10 takes like 4-5 minutes to do th

Doh how did I miss that! Bit older than I was expecting. I had assumed a ThinkPad T series. Maybe a T420 with the 1440x900 resolution.

Great read. Only thing missing was the hardware. I am always interested to see what kind of hardware people are running on.

Yeah I agree the butterfly keyboard issue is more widespread but that is down to them trying a new and poor design. The only device I have owned with a butterfly keyboard is this 2018 MBP 15" and so far I haven't had an issue. My

I think people are misremembering the past as the MacBook Pro line has always had issues. GPUs that die, screen staining, etc. I feel with tech news being more mainstream and Twitter people are more aware of such issues. Plus Apple being wh

Yes this is how I feel also. I constantly hear the phrase "This wouldn't have happened under Jobs" and it pisses me off. Apple had loads of problems with hardware under Jobs. You're right Apple should do better. I alwa

Interesting as I don't seem to have this issue on the two 2018 MBP I've had. Originally I had a release day i7/32GB/1TB/560X model but it had a power/charging issue so Apple replaced it with an i9 model which h

Asking is good but you often get a lot of wrong information that way. As well as very selective information. When I was working on a reimplementation of an existing web app I had several team members watch how users were using the applicati

I was about to post close to the exact same thing so I am glad to see it already mentioned. IMHO £5k is too little to be worth investing in anything if you don't have the three things you mentioned in order. Personally if I came into £
