I am using Beeper desktop app on Windows for the express purpose of being an iMessage client. Their press release ( https://blog.beeper.com/2024/04/09/beeper-is-now-available/ ) says "Beeper does not

A relative of mine works there. I can confirm that they are hyper focused (at least he is) on fixing all the issues customers have reported.

Wow, that is a lot of money ($4400 on Amazon) to throw at this problem. I am curious, what was the purpose that compelled you to spend this (for the home network, I assume) amount of money.

Yeah, no doubt inspired by the .NET feature. I use it all the time for throwaway console apps.

I would love a feature that if I change the speed on a video, the setting sticks across all videos on that specific channel.

That's right. People forget that iOS 16 beta (or maybe 15) introduced an orange dot to signify if any app was copying data from the clipboard. TikTok lit up like a lighthouse, performing a copy every 3 seconds.

Slow is the least of its problems. There are missing features all over the place. For instance, you can no longer drag emails to the desktop or into another app.

How exactly do you do SMS and Calling on Windows? I have KDE Connect installed, and it has SMS and telephone integration checked, but I don't see any notifications or anything. https://i.imgur.com/JQphE16.png

I don't know about now, but I was in the market for cars during Covid and the dealers were truly jacking up the prices. Corollas were definitely not in the 22k range. Hopefully the situation improved.

Where exactly is sudo.exe? It doesn't appear to be in the repo. I don't need the Settings portion. The exe itself would be immensely useful.

Same here. Would love it on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016+.

Believe me, it was tried multiple times to understand it -> rewrite it. The code was incomprehensible, the new business analysts didn't seem to know exactly what it was doing. By the time I left, the spreadsheet was still relied on

Back in the day (late 90s), the entire business of Bankers Trust (bought by Deutsche Bank) was on a ginormous spreadsheet macro written for the 16 bit Lotus 1-2-3 under Windows 3.11. The thing was around 20,000 lines of code (Lotus-script i

See...you are taking something that did happen and twisting it to fit your bias. The money from Qatar had humanitarian goals like paying government salaries in Gaza and buying fuel to keep a power plant running. Obviously, the money was mis

The court said no such thing. Don't spread misinformation.

It's remarks by the plaintiff's attorney meant to elicit emotion. It includes zero context. Who died - were they militants with guns? Were they civilian casualties of war? No one knows. Just a bizarre connection between Bethlehe

They probably claimed it because in their delusion they thought the court would unconditionally side with them. Unlikely that they will release the hostages just because a court said so.

These are all op-eds. Opinions, not facts. That's one. Secondly, for some of the links, if you follow the logic, they are suggesting that Israel should have gone to war with Hamas earlier and eliminated it. Thirdly, what exactly are

Ah yeah. The good ole' storage unit scam. They all raise the prices about every 6 months. I just rent a U-Haul for a day and move it to a new place. And it forces me to throw things away that I truly don't need. Over the years

All the political crises, you listed starting with 2008, could have easily be relisted from a decade or two earlier. There have always been crises. I am not sure that is any different than it has been for any generation.

As others have said, Israel is still under constant rocket/missile shower from Gaza. So I think it's safe to conclude that your point 2 is met as well. You can follow along with the missile alerts at https://www.oref.o

You are confusing it with Starlink. SpaceX has all sorts of contracts with NASA and the Space Force. But we are talking about Starlink customers. It's definetely not 100 million a year or even close.
