I don't think Shopify really needs discovery or awareness among customers/buyers. Shopify's customers are merchants, businesses and manufacturers, each advertising their very own store and sales channels. For them it's h

Indeed. I had this argument with some of our non-tech staff countless of times. They absolutely prefer Slack, Basecamp & Co. as separate app. Doesn't matter if it's just an electron container - to them a browser tab/windo

Furthermore DAW are very, very loyal and hesitant to jump ship. I'd bet that for many Logic users being able to keep using their DAW of choice is reason enough to never even consider a diffeent OS / platform. On a sidenote it has

Certainly I can't argue with what you deem worthy of your time but I'm surprised by this - obviously it's a question of moderation, but would you feel the same way about reading books, watching films or listening to music?

It's a quality app and there's also a free version that might be enough for OP if his codecs are supported.

And Bandcamp's target audience prefers to own their music and knowing that it will be on their device of choice tomorrow or in 30 years without the fear of losing it due ending licensing deals. Not to mention all the obscure and rare m

You're probably fine with your annual tune up. If you want to do it yourself the drive train should be your highest priority in my opinion: - Keep your chain clean. Every few weeks use a degreaser to clean it, wash it out with water an

If you experience flats, especially when they happen repeatedly, you should always look for the cause. Check the inner tube. When you find the hole check that position on the rim as well as the tire. Make sure that there aren't any sha

Indeed. Although it’s ok to start with short sketches, expanding on them before finally cutting it down again. My writing often starts with a rough list of bullet points and loose thoughts before being revised, structured, properly phrased,

That's not true anymore. Some time ago Amazon made changes to the way they sell Apple hardware. It is my understanding that Apple gave its blessing to let Amazon sell their products directly with the requirement that third party seller

Indeed. And additionally Amazon is absolutely terrible when it comes to shopping for specific product categories where details matter. Bike components are a classic example. In Germany you'll find a much larger product selection (with

Good question. I could imagine that "Eighth Grade" would come up a lot if kids at that age answered.

It is, but there's a lot of gatekeeping going on. As a music collector and former what.cd member I'd love to join and contribute to Redacted, but I won't go through that interview process.

That depends heavily on where you are located. Here in Germany we have excellent shopping search engines with Geizhals and Idealo. Particularly Geizhals is an indispensable product research tool since it does a great job of collecting, norm

I’m using Alfred and you can add locations to search in, but I’m pretty sure you can also do that for Spotlight. It shouldn’t be a problem either way.

I think Apple’s official Lightning to jack adapter is fine for mobile use. Sure, it’s not ideal, but a headphone jack comes with other trade offs which have been discussed to death. At the end of the day I’m under no illusions that audio pe

Just to add a different perspective: I never used a case for any of my iPhones or iPads. I refuse to hide that mostly beautiful body in a cheap, or even high quality, permanent case. And yet I have still sold all of those dozen devices in f

You can be just as granular by using shift + alt + volume/brightness. That way your changes will be in 0.25 step increments rather than the default full steps.

Personally, I have no use for a laptop and use my desktop for "real" work (development, audio production). In a mobile setting I prefer my device to actually be lightweight and mobile and the iPad beats any laptop in that regard.
