You can disable it, actually. Settings > General > AirDrop > turn off Use Cellular Data That said, I don’t really see why you would disable that. It’s only a backup method for when the peer-to-peer connection fails. Unless you are

Imagine if MS just did a git revert all the way back to ~2020. That was peak GitHub for me. We got some niceties the first couple of years after the acquisition - free private repos, Sponsors, secret scanning, a new mobile app and CLI - but

Not only that, but with iOS 17.1 or later, AirDrop transfers will continue to work if you go out of Wi-Fi range during the transfer. It seamlessly switches to an Internet-based relay.

The “butterfly bush” is native to China. Milkweed is native to North America. Milkweed is the only one that can feed the Monarch at all stages of its life, from larva to caterpillar to butterfly. When people plant butterfly bushes, it “tric

Stop planting butterfly bushes! It’s a trap. Instead, plant milkweed. Support their entire lifecycle. The names of these plants ought to be changed.

Do you use a case? My guess would be that when you swipe up, you're not quite starting low enough, perhaps unconsciously, because of the case being in the way. See if a case with a thinner front or smaller bezels helps. Using your inde

It’s not you or your setup. I experience the same behavior. Tried with and without Private Relay, residential and commercial ISPs at different locations, and more to debug it. Same results. I think GitHub has just gotten so aggressive with

In episode 69 of Access On, the story of accessibility for early Apple devices is told. Including how many of the modern tools that are taken for granted, such as speech synthesizers and VoiceOver, came to be.

I think the Matter standard is going to cause IPv6 adoption to increase significantly in the coming years. People will demand it, without even knowing what Matter or IPv6 are. They just want to be able to turn their lights off from their ph

Ky was written to use fetch from the beginning, whereas Axios tries to adapt itself to fetch, which doesn't always work well. We also have much better TypeScript support, including built-in schema validation with type inference. Docume

Many quality of life improvements. Timeouts and hooks have been revamped. Quirks related to base URLs for custom instances have been solved. Every known bug has been fixed. Please give it a try and let us know what you think!

What qualifies as a strong motor here? Are you comparing to a brushed DC motor? Do you think a washer/dryer would have worse overall efficiency with a BLDC in a DC home compared to what we have today? If so, that’s news to me. Where ca

I agree with everything you said, except it seems like a false dichotomy. We can clearly build DC refrigerators with more or less insulation. We can clearly build them large or small. If you want to prioritize volume, then surely you could

Is there anything left in a modern home that really needs or is better on AC? We have some old ceiling and exhaust fans, but I know those can be replaced. Our refrigerator is AC, but extended family with an off-grid home has a DC refrigerat

There are plenty of free public STUN servers and ways to share the information they return. The real problem is the port randomization if any client is behind a symmetric NAT. The search space for randomly trying port numbers is too large.

A lot of the techniques that both sides use would be much harder on macOS. Of course, Hackintoshes have always existed and where there’s a will, there’s a way. But it makes me wonder how this would evolve if Apple eventually gets its act to

Yes, but a computer is just a paperweight without its software. Also, increasingly the hardware is being specifically designed and optimized for that non-deterministic software. The experience of using computers is changing and we’re still

This is a great algorithm! In this era where AI is eating away at how deterministic computers are, I really appreciate reading about an elegant solution to a real problem using deterministic logic.

I assume that the inclusion of some AI generated content is ok, such as when discussing the performance of different models?

0.3Wh for the median ChatGPT query seems optimistic to me. It looks like it’s based on a quote from Sam Altman. The GPU alone is probably pulling close to 0.2Wh per second.

You are absolutely right. Here is why you are correct: - I see what you did there. - You are always right.

As a maintainer on the Ky team, I give a big thumbs up to this proposal. We have run into many problems with web streams over the years and solving them has always proven to be hairy, including the unbounded memory growth from response.clon

As a passenger, I often think to myself, "Why is the bus stopping here? There was a a stop just two blocks ago." Invariably, the bus then has to wait for someone to move out of the way before it can pull in. It's very ineffic

I think you’re confusing “haptic” for “capacitive”. The wheels are real, physical controls with motors to give tactile feedback about the state of the UI. You can literally feel where the beginning and end of a list are, for example. It’s e
