I was a member of "The Northwest of Us", which was a play on Apple's tagline for the original Mac, "The computer for the rest of us." It was in Chicago's northwest suburbs (Palatine, Arlington Heights, Rolling

Not only that, the time to take public transport is way worse than driving. If it were a 5-15 minute difference to get from point A to point B, OK, I would do it. But for me, I can get to/from work in ~20 minutes. I could also take the

It doesn't really matter what their reasons are. Having the data is a liability. The author explained one scenario where these things can go wrong. Another is if they're hacked. Or if they're purchased by a larger unethical c

A similar thing happened to me. They got my gender wrong on the preliminary form! Furthermore, after telling them, they didn't correct it on the final forms! We crossed it out, corrected it and everyone initialed it, but what a waste o

AppleTV+ is also available on the web and on Roku and Samsung TVs. So again, not a walled garden even when using their products.

Do you know if Apple Music is available on Windows? I know iTunes has been on Windows for years, so I assume it supported Apple Music initially, just like on the Mac?

One reason I use Apple Music over Spotify is that Apple Music is entirely supported by paying customers rather than by ads. This aligns thier incentives more closely to mine.

So they don't leave it on your doorstep, but they put the code in your box? That sounds even better for thieves! Get the code from the box, go to the self-service area, type in the code, and walk away without any suspicion, since that&

No, it's a legitimate question. Think of it this way. If we stop using Teflon coatings on pots and pans, will that, for example, increase the amount of cooking oil used in cooking? And if so, will that cause other health effects such a

by thewebcount 7y ago
But Teflon doesn't react with anything . That's its purpose. So even though it's a fluorocarbon, it's unlikely to cause health problem because it just won't react with your body. Or is there some other mechanism th

One way to do it for iOS/macOS would be to try to get it into Apple Arcade. I don't know what that takes, but all of the games in it are IAP-free and ad free. A monthly fee lets you play any of them. I assume they take a cut and d

I don't think this article is seeing the whole picture. The author talks about how programmers used to have to cram a program into 16KB of RAM (or ROM) and it had to be efficient. But that came at a huge cost. Reading 6502 Assembly wit

A few death scenes including of a child? Some brief nudity? (Admittedly I think this one is dumb but it’s what many viewers think. ) Lots of F-bombs. Seems reasonable to me Given their intended audience.
