"Playing in select cities" - from the official website. That's what's wrong with indie cinema, documentaries and small movie projects. Another film I'm interested in, I'm ready to purchase and watch, yet I can&

For an increasing number of "normal" people the phone is the primary computing device, mobile or at home. However I'd be surprised if that trend applies to the HN crowd, which probably considers their phones as a secondary de

I don't have any experience with those wide screens and how they handle movies but I'd imagine they are very much suited for that kind of content if the player handles it properly. Concerning the frame rate issue, I was really sur

You don't buy high PPI displays for additional screen real estate. You buy them for the same screen real estate with much sharper, crisper text rendering. You should always assume that you'll be scaling your image at 2x when using

I wish the app would manage to adjust the display refresh rate to match the content's framerate in fullscreen. Just recently I tried to watch a highly rated, cinematic sensation like Roma on my projector and was surprised that I had to

It's not just price. My problem is that brick and mortar stores often simply don't have the selection nor the knowledge I'd expect. Of course the alternative doesn't have to be Amazon - there are countless shops that ser

I'd agree with him: 1Password - long history - to me it's the original password manager - frequent updates and always keeping up with relevant OS features, like iOS AutoFill which allows 1Password to be set as the default iOS pass

I see a lot of potential for Notion and really enjoy the service, but currently it still feels a little rough. Some thoughts: - while the browser-based webapp is mostly fine, the mobile apps feel really subpar and somewhat out of place on i

From a european perspective it already seems mind-boggling that chefs and service staff make 80-90k and still can't live comfortably. I don't think that doubling down on that trend will help as long as there isn't enough hous

There will always be different user expectations and, unfortunately, plain bad design decisions. Reddit's new design probably belongs in that category. I don't see how that is Safari's problem to solve. The original claim was

I hope I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're arguing against responsive webdesign. Any decent website should look exactly the same on the iPad and a desktop window of equal size. If it doesn't, the developer rather than the br

Can confirm. Using my SPL Crimson audio interface with a cheap USB hub leads to clearly noticeable noise and distortion (particularly when silent). Connecting the interface directly to the Mac Mini removes the issue.

I value good headphones too. Which is why I simply leave the small lightning-to-jack-adapter attached to them. A minor inconvenience that surely won't make me swith from an otherwise fantastic phone and platform. And of course the head

I guess the right thing for Youtube to do is to simply suspend any payouts, but continue monetization until the dispute is resolved. Once that happens the rightful owner of the content should receive any pending payouts.

That was the point of the parent poster. Why bother with german and other much less common languages when you could just target a de facto global language that both your victims as well as those responsible for those scams know?

Speak for yourself. While I won’t allow that permission for most sites there are very legitimate exceptions, like a web based email client, or slack.

While Bandcamp is indeed a great service you might want to add Boomkat, Qobuz and Bleep to that list.
