Usually the OS announced at WWDC is released around mid September.

I've also simplified my home screen more than it used to be in the beginning. With the App Library page and the global search feature I never need much just right there as an app icon.

I lived in downtown San Jose for ten years and someone was shot to death right behind my apartment. San Jose isn't all that unsafe either, relatively speaking.

I don't think this is nearly the same thing as people being obnoxious with their motorcycle or car exhausts. What I'd really say is maybe we should rethink if blowers are even useful or necessary at all over the old broom and scoo

Same here with essential tremor. Rarely do people think of us.

That's an awful way to think about that.

Meanwhile has anyone here driven El Camino Real from Palo Alto south to Sunnyvale? One of the worst roads that continues to get worse for years now.

On the other hand, I also occasionally run across social media accounts showing condos available for purchase, not lease, in some more affordable wards of Tokyo and I seriously question if I should uproot my life here in the Bay Area, find

Or, even simpler, be responsible and don't use substances if you'll be driving.

It's more like having stoner friends and doing things with them has convinced me just how important it is that they aren't the ones driving. In fact, I'd say the same of anyone even people on traditional drugs.

It doesn't seem like it went into much detail but while many of these end up advertised to foreigners as cheap homes to buy, they're not really easy to just live in unless you already live and work in Japan. Simply buying an Akiya

Next we'll have studies seeking to prove drivers who drink enough to reach the Ballmer Peak will have a mind in the utmost condition for driving.

How's that? All my contacts can be stored locally, photos backed up both on my computer and to a separate service plus iCloud, it's pretty easy to set up Dropbox or Box in-place of iCloud Files. Apple Wallet is handy but it really

For a company as rich as Apple it's hardly a flop. Even if it doesn't do well I'd imagine they can recycle a lot of the R&D that went into it for their other tech areas.

FWIW Apple always had an iTunes "now playing" thing for iChat back in the day so it's not like nobody over there thought of doing something like that.

Nice! Back in around 2012 or so Spotify still didn't even do MacOS notifications so I rigged up an easy AppleScript to do it (I want to say with Growl first and a bit later with native notifications? Been a while). It's always sur

That makes sense. I would've thought the accelerometer/gyro in the phone could be used similarly but I'm probably wrong.

A huge benefit to CarPlay for me is I can travel someplace like Japan, get a car with a CarPlay-supported head unit, and immediately I have Google or Apple Maps available straight off the bat in English with all my saved locations like hote

I've had a Carlinkit 3.0 for two years connected to a standard $400 or so Pioneer head unit with CarPlay and it works fine. Initial connection is a bit slower than wired, maybe 20 seconds or so, but it's up and running by the time

My car is from between 2013-2017 and it supports a standard 2-DIN replacement with Apple CarPlay.

Almost this same exact thing happened with my parents last week. The only thing is that MacOS' remote desktop seems to work inconsistently. Sometimes it sends the permissions request immediately and sometimes it takes a while. Or the p

I'd be curious what someone's doing that police even have any idea they've got a lock picking set or tools on their person.

In my experience whenever prices were calculated that way there would still be unexpected expenses.

by spike021 3y ago
That's on top of every other expense like books, scantrons (not sure if those are even used anymore), and whatever else. Everything adds up for students.

Yes. Last time there was a fairly large one in the SF Bay Area I happened to be on the phone with some relatives about 40 miles away and I felt an earthquake a moment before they did.

I mean ideally students can still get jobs on campus serving other students and staff considering how expensive education is.

by spike021 3y ago
Doesn't that take away jobs students used to get? Which storefront is that? The one at the bottom of MLK Library or McQuarrie Hall?

They probably shouldn't be on smartphones to begin with, rather than asking how to get them off smartphones. Then again I'm not a parent who puts their smartphone in a stand with full-blast volume when dining out so their kids are

Can the NYT be next? (In the US of course) Recently I tried unsubscribing from The Athletic (now owned by NYT). They use every dark pattern in the book and multiple times also make it seem like you finally were successful only for no real c

> Real families want to share quality family time in the real world, not “content” You've never gone on a nice trip and then when back home with relatives streamed photos/video of that trip to a TV to share?
