OpenBSD feels more cohesively designed, in my experience. If you have an older ThinkPad lying around, it should be a dead-easy installation and a pretty easy setup process. Back when I used it on a laptop, I liked its design but I didn&#x27

MobileSafari doesn't support a number of "PWA" features that Android Chrome does. Push notifications, for example, always require a mobile app on iOS (which I think is a good thing, personally, but I can understand other pers

Really? Huh. I’ve never seen it use anywhere near that much on my Hackintosh, but I don’t have a super high-res screen or anything like that. I wonder what the difference is caused by.

Why is WindowServer using over 2 GB of RAM in the Activity Monitor screenshot? That seems absurdly high. Does it have a memory leak?

Org-wide instead of company-wide, maybe?

I haven't worked at Google or any other big tech company, but I understand that Google's culture is far more like academia anyway. Compared to Facebook, Google prioritizes code quality over development speed. Other companies seem

Huh! I was unaware that Safari was affected as well. Thanks for correcting me.

The only app that virtual webcam tools won't work with is FaceTime on macOS (supposedly for security reasons).

This has happened a few times before, actually. Dogfooding is good, but not for status pages! Cloudflare does it right for their status page ( https://www.cloudflarestatus.com ). They don't use Cloudflare itself for it (you c

15 or 20 mbps up is about the theoretical maximum on cable because of how the spectrum is allocated by cable companies. Cable TVs didn't need much upload compared to download.

True! If I remember correctly, Project Zero had this exact issue.

If you're a notable security researcher, Apple has the program for you: https://developer.apple.com/programs/security-research-devic... That's their "official solution" to the problem, even if it&#x

You can use a keyboard and mouse on recent iOS versions as well (and it works very comfortably on iPadOS). You can also connect an adapter to use a big screen. I disagree with your argument that smartphones should be general-purpose compu

Does that compete at all speed-wise with just plugging it into your computer via USB? I guess your local network should be fairly fast, but I would think that USB would still be faster (not to mention that you wouldn't need to find the

Both perfectly smooth in Safari, although the second one seems to be higher-resolution to my eye.

It's also worth mentioning that you can give Cloudflare your own certificate to use if you care what users see. I think this option might require one of the paid Cloudflare plans.

I know three people personally who used Freenom domains and lost access at some point. I've never actually been successful at getting it to give me a domain in the first place, but the last time I tried was years ago. So definitely be

Apple is made up of hundreds of thousands of employees. Their goal is to make money, not be "good" or "bad". Their individual decisions might be better or worse for certain groups of people, but Apple as a whole isn&#x

I think that painting a multi-trillion-dollar corporation as "good" or "bad" is always disingenuous.

I think that's just how business works. The technical impressiveness of his "PHP website" is irrelevant—he was in the right place, at the right time, with a strong initial user base. Edit: I'm not trying to downplay his

New Reddit is a great way to benchmark your web browser's memory handling or your operating system's responsiveness when you're out of memory. Other than that, it's pretty frustrating.

That's basically what DNT was supposed to be—browsers said "do not track me" and "legitimate" trackers respected it. I agree that it's dumb. Ironically, DNT is now just one more bit that makes fingerprinting yo

Google Meet is a paid Google Workspace product. You can feel fairly comfortable about it compared to their consumer products.

As a paying Google Workspace customer, I've found changes and improvements there to be well-thought-out and well-communicated. Google Cloud also has an entire deprecation policy, so I'm pretty comfortable relying on those services

Google includes their own fleet management software, a custom package management system for security (which involves getting other employees to sign off on new programs), and a few other things. Take a look at this document: https:/&#

I think that this argument goes both ways. You could also say "productivity matters a great deal more than configuring Linux to be 'perfect' when macOS works out of the box". Disclaimer: I'm typing this on a Mac wit

I think that reflects more on your company's internal distro than Debian itself, especially since Ubuntu is itself based on Debian. I know that gLinux has some very non-standard package management stuff, so it wouldn't surprise me

I expect that the x86_64 instruction set will stick around for a very long time. Rosetta is super smooth and very fast on M1 Macs, so legacy apps still work just fine for the time being.

Linux users are also super happy they're not left out of using Electron apps. If Discord were to write a native app, they might only include Windows and macOS support—or even omit Mac support altogether.

It's quite readable if you make your window size super short and wide, but it's weird that this is even necessary.
