As I understand it, macOS uses grayscale antialiasing by default, while Windows and Linux use subpixel hinting. To make up for the artificial thinning that occurs with grayscale antialiasing, it also uses something called "font smoothi

Yes. This is a huge cost for school districts, particularly since both G Suite and Microsoft 365 are free for schools and require practically zero admin time. There's no competition in terms of cost here.

Is it? Couldn't the backend (or even a human attacker) just type the credentials you provide into the real login page, giving you the "tap yes" push notification just the same?

Java mindshare has been dying for a long time. That said, it's still taught in schools and all sorts of companies still use it (including "cool" ones like Google and Apple).

Google takes licenses very seriously as well: https://opensource.google/docs/thirdparty/licenses/#wtfpl-no... They certainly have a lot of eyes on them, so any mistake with licenses could be very costly.

Where I live they don't want waxed cardboard (pizza boxes and similar) or aluminum foil, but everything else you mentioned is acceptable. It clearly depends on the municipality.

Yeah, this seems strange. I’ve seen the black heart symbol before (not an actual emoji), but never a real emoji. Does it work for me too? 🧐

I’ll guess that their point was that it depends largely based on your social circle.

Because a much higher share of the US smartphone market is iOS (close to half overall and over 80% of teens and young adults).

I feel like it should be https://search.google instead.

Apple probably won’t make iMessage available outside of its own devices because it’s a major lock-in and network effect for iOS. Some people switch to iPhones simply because their friends won’t include them in an iMessage group chat or some

I’m in a similar situation to you. I use Google Docs as my primary office suite and occasionally switch to native Microsoft Office when I need to edit a complex or macro-covered Excel sheet. Google Docs is very convenient, free of frustrati

The smart part is that this doesn't require a middle man since it uses your own Mac to receive messages.

Yep! There are even tools (mentioned in the OpenCore install guide) that automate finding serial numbers and board IDs and all of the other parameters required for that functionality to work. Even though I couldn't get my graphics card

This is a significant trade-off, of course, but it is also the only secure way to use iMessage on Android as I understand it. Otherwise, you would have to trust a third party with your Apple ID credentials and iMessage signing key. Plus, yo

You can dislike WFH while also disliking centralization in a few cities with housing shortages. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Apple gives away Xcode and allows people to sign apps for their own iOS devices for free (although they must resign those apps every week). This is intended to allow students and other non-professional developers to learn to code and experi

I agree that relevant ads are better than completely random ones for everyone involved. But there is a significant middle ground between “show this user a random ad” and “show this user an ad based on data collected through tracking”. There

I agree that case-insensitive filesystems should be an esoteric feature, but given that they’re the default on Windows and macOS, it should definitely be a well-supported option on Linux for the sake of compatibility.

I highly recommend that anyone interested in improvements to spreadsheets check out Teapot—it has a really cool 3D cell indexing system, a type system, and lots of other features that make it fundamentally much more advanced than Excel in m

Yes! It’s exactly this. I’m fine being unproductive, but at least I want to be able to reflect on my day and remember doing fun things (as opposed to dopamine roulette activities like Reddit).

Yeah, I agree that 5-20 minutes is purely beneficial, but it can be more addictive than that.

I think that this bias of "revolutionary over incremental" might be holding science back in a variety of other areas as well. It's kind of like how I've heard that Google's promotion structure incentivizes new servi

Same with Siri Suggestions, although they may be taking on a larger role in iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur.

Or Control, depending on which you're used to. Every time I try to use Windows I'm surprised that there's no easy-to-access setting for remapping Caps Lock like there is on every Linux DE and macOS.

Those kinds of pages are janky on macOS with a low-sensitivity scroll wheel too. They're really satisfying on touchscreens and touchpads; I wonder if it's possible to make them smooth on devices with junky mice without implementin
