It's my understanding that swiping right on everyone already results in a penalty on Tinder and lowers your chances of actually being presented to your potential matches - you're simply moved to the back of the queue. However, of

I'm pretty sure Apple wants to avoid interfaces that target a real mouse pointer and aren't easy to use with finger input. And I think they are right about that: Every UI should be accessible with finger input only.

Absolutely. Good, detailed, up to date documentation is one of my top priorities when selecting development tools, frameworks and software.

Love it. Great content, good streaming quality, fair price. Unfortuantely they lost the Premier League rights to Sky this season which is fine whenever I turn on my projector for the big picture - after all Sky's satellite video qualit

As a happy Firefox and uBlock Origin user I wonder what is so fundamentally different about uBlock Origin that its filter list can't be converted/translated to the JSON format Safari's content blocking API expects. Is it more

Same here. I doN't share msot people's outrage when it coems to redesigns, but this one only seems to have downsides. Imagine redesigning Reddit with simple HTML, CSS and only the most necessary sprinkles of JavaScript. In my opin

While I agree with you it's my understanding that this was an ad-supported Kindle. Amazon offers them with a discount, which means the buyer explicitely accepted ads for a slightly lower purchase price. I'm not saying it's ok

Sky used to have a web client. Now you have to use their apps, even on the desktop, which come with a suite of monitoring services (Cisco Videoguard) to prevent people from streaming their content. On my Mac Mini the video player takes up e

Another often overlooked technical detail: Streaming clients and supporting the proper framerate of the content. My projector supports 24p as do most other displays, but good luck making sure that Netflix' and other streaming service c

Reading this I can't help but think that Apple Arcade has to be a huge success with parents - a quality, woory-free gaming environment with fixed, affordable cost.

In addition to Dangus' comment with iPhone 8 you'll also get the same CPU that powers the iPhone X, which will be more than fine for quite a few more years. Furthermore I'm confident it will be supported with major software u

It is a fair price. I just wish the non-Pro had a 512 GB storage option. I'd like to take my whole music library with me - in its original lossless state this is of course not an option due to size, but even when transcoding to a lossy

That doesn't sound right. Is this a official, genuine Apple battery or was this done by a third party?

That's fine. I didn't mean to say that you only should do fun things, but I think there's a middleground. Personally, I think running is a very boring activity - road biking however, while similar in nature, is something I lo

There's a middleground: I'm a music collector and enthusiast that maintains a lossless, digital-only library. All the benefits of truly owning music, including rare releases not available on any streamign service, with the conveni

To be fair, speakers are the component in your signal chain that actually has a major impact on audio quality - it is by far the most important factor and it should take up the majority of your (audio) budget. Not to sound condescending but

I like it. However given your goal of delivering sane and lighweight news articles you might want to extend that mission to the selection of your sources and consider excluding some. For the Boris Johnson story you link to The Independent,

Not to mention the waste of bandwidth - imagine being on a metered connection and forgetting a Bloomberg tab in the background. It will happily stream a neverending series of videos for hours if I remember correctly.

I dont think they are ignoring input. Of course, when soda and lots of sugar is still part of your diet all bets are off - those are the basics that have to be fixed first. This has been repeated and emphasized over and over. However, in ad
