I am appreciative they did that. I hope the USB-C ports on the laptop can handle the highest charging available today (~100 watts, not the new spec 200+ watts).

I agree and I suspect this was less of a problem for people with a 15/16" MBP where the edge of the laptop was likely past their leg.

That was a really nice touch and not too bright. I stumbled on a Dell USB-C charger with a white LED. It doesn't change colors and it's bright enough to light a room.

Sometimes I wonder if folks use rose colored glasses when thinking about MagSafe. I don't miss MagSafe and I enjoy the interchangeability of chargers. I could not keep my 13" MacBook plugged in while using it on my lap. The MagSaf

If you're a Linux person, just skip all the other non-sense and create a systemd-networkd file. It's by far the simplest solution I've used, and doesn't require goofy unit files to start/stop/restart via wg too

Or in other words, Intel fell into the same management trap as other legacy tech providers. They focused on paying industry wide 'median' salaries and bled talent.

I broke a Pixel and went back to my spare iPhone 7. I thought the spam calls and texts would send me past the edge of sanity. I suffered through that for six months and went back to another Pixel.

I think it's not appreciated enough how much they got right by putting the fingerprint sensor on the back in a natural position to touch and hold the phone. You are correct, it is unlocked usually before the screen is visible.

Neat. When I look at old pictures like the one in the article, I wonder, is it foggy, smokey, or just an artifact of the photograph?

Time to bring back ISP shaming. Netflix would notify Verizon users in the app that Verizon's slow peering was degrading their watch experience. https://bgr.com/general/netflix-vs-verizon-network/

Submitter here. Yes, absolutely the case. Throughout the late 2000s, the singular focus was on EPS 20. During that time they still had a deep bench of engineer talent, easily capable of building a capable public cloud. Unfortunately, layoff

PSA: Careful when you cancel a credit card or pay off a loan early. The average length of credit is a factor on your credit report, and a very short term will hurt that factor.

The EAP660 is pretty good. I replaced a few mesh routers with a single EAP660 on a second floor ceiling. I like that they allow you to run a single one without a controller. I'm happy to no longer tie my router to my access point as it

I also tend to think the distinction is related to compartmentalizing all technical activities into an IT suborganization. A tech company performs all these activities as a matter of the regular course of business, within the lines of busin

I have to imagine this is related to the release of Matter, the smart home communication standard. Cutting off multicast cuts off a standard way existing network connected home automation devices work, forcing users to Matter and to ultimat

The review count has become a red flag for me. I regularly see extremely niche items that might sell 20000 units over 5 years with 20000 reviews.

Amazon is certainly the big bad wolf here, but I wouldn't be surprised if the move is also designed to inconvenience the small players like logz.io, Graylog, Searchly, etc who might be interfering with their flow of introductory level

It's not a philosophical argument at all. Businesses embrace commercially supported open source software because it makes business sense to do so. The door of interoperability swings both directions. Open source vendors frequently acqu

I agree this is important for security updates. However, Android is not monolothic. Browser, carrier services, even the phone app are updated independently of the operating system image for well into the future.
