Here's how the new tab bar looks in Firefox on iPad: https://imgur.com/a/QUm3r1q There is so much padding now, that the titles are shortened to a single character when you have more than a few tabs, despite the ta

It is the same complaint you hear from people posting their art, music, videos, games online. “Why isn’t my creation discoverable among hundred thousands others?” “Why don’t storefronts and catalogues highlight my product?” These people fai

I wonder if the team has anything planned for Ingenuity after completion of the mandatory mission program. Something that could obtain as much data as possible in the shortest possible time while not particularly caring about the survival

I've been using 1st generation Fiio X5 since its release in 2014 up to this day. It has been everything I wished from a portable audio player: great sound quality, easily drivees even high impedance headphones with plenty of volume hea

And yet somehow the whole S2 in centered about Space Shuttle program - years after a successful Sea Dragon launch. This was the most unbelievable development in the whole show.

Stretch looks to be much more mundane and practical than Spot, which while impressive from a technical perspective always struck me more as a tech demo, than a useful product. Warehouse automation industry is booming and BD/Hyundai wan

I think we've reached the peak of absurdity, when a linting utility adds an enabled by default inclusive language rule that breaks people's builds for daring to use racist terms like "MasterViewController" or "Maste

I agree, and this applies to satellite manufacturing in general. Starlink has demonstrated that the new launch cadence requires a switch from single unit and small scale to serial production. It's unbelievable that we don't curren

Not just increased launch demand, Starlink launches serve SpaceX as a testbed for reusability and refurbishment techniques they want to experiment on themselves without risking customer hardware. For example, they intentionally swap hardwar

Starlink satellites are flying in low Earth orbit with the natural decay and reentry time no more than 5 years. I see this same argument repeated in every Starlink discussion thread.

I also use Pixel 3a as my main phone, despite having an employer-provided iPhone. The only killer app that still keeps me on Android is Firefox with uBlock Origin. If Apple allowed functional 3rd party browsers, I'll switch in a heartb

Proton initially had some Mac support via MoltenVK, but they never managed to get it runs stable enough, and all mentions of it have been removed from the repo 2 years ago. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/c

This rule is enabled by default in the latest SwiftLint version, and triggers a linting error for using "non-inclusive" variable or class names like "masterViewController" or "blacklist".

If we assume the existence of technologies that make a Martian colony possible, the same technologies would make asteroid mining even more viable. Now the complex manufacturing is a whole other set of problems. Unless someone invents a magi

While Deadbeef is a great player in general, it doesn't buffer the data when playing from a network drive, which causes a playback interruption every time there's a connection problem, even for a split second. For this reason I&#x

RDNA2 seems to be based on the R&D AMD already done for Sony and Microsoft when designing new consoles. It brings largely the same architecture and feature set to the PC platform, with the exception of the proprietary storage technologi
