While I also question the necessity of having every single moment documented and framed, I don't think you or anyone else has the authority to decide what's worth capturing and what isn't.

You can. I've been using Arq [1] for years. You can select a storage provider of your choice (I use Dropbox), but Arq also provide its own cloud storage these days if you prefer to keep it as simple as possible. After the initial uploa

Doesn't that render the fake images even more silly? Smartphone cameras are pretty good these days - I don't see the need to fake the results.

If you enjoyed the slower pace I'd recommend Kingdome Come: Deliverance [1]. It doesn't have the same level of polish or the production values of a Rockstar game, but really surprised me with it's realistic, historic, non-mag

The alternatives are everywhere - you just have to let go of the idea of replacing Amazon with another single, giant everything-store. It will be multiple stores. I recently noticed that all my hobbies and/or niche interests are better

Very true. I probably posted this before but I think thoughts like yours relate very well to one of my favorite quotes, by Ira Glass: > Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work

I agree. Reading those articles sometimes resembles reading a horoscope given that probably everyone can relate to these issues to some degree. Likely many of us think of themselves as smart, yet not reaching their true potential. With that

> I am a fan, though I wish they allowed more rows per table. I agree. Like the product, but being constrained by a rather limited number of records even in their expensive pro plans makes it a non-starter.

As it should be. eBay and Amazon serve, or should serve, two very different purposes. In my opinion used items have no place on Amazon and the whole marketplace approach results in a sketchy shopping experience I'd like to avoid.

Which is a good thing. Adapting layouts to all those different, wildly varying screen sizes is essential and responsive webdesign is solving this problem.

Everyone's use cases will be different. I have absolutely no use for dedicated GPU, but require fast storage. Of course that doesn't mean that Apple's SSD upgrade options aren't overpriced.

Unless the XPS can run macOS the comparison will be useless to the target audience of the Mac Mini. Furthermore both are very different product categories.

Well, at least 24“ are more reasonable for UHD or 1080p at 2x scaling. However I currently use a non-retina iMac 27 at home (which I‘m looking to replace) and an iMac 5k at work - I really want both: Screen real estate and retina-level pixe

Sure, it does offer scaling, but you really want 2x scaling - I tried non-integer values on a 5k display, just to get a sense for it, and it was as disappointing as expected. Slightly blurry text, rather obvious that this wasn‘t the recomme

That's about 138 ppi which is rather close to non-HiDPI displays and shoudl be noticeably less crips than an iMac 5K (at 217 ppi).

1x scaling will be too small for UHD at 27". MacOS only works probably with integer-based scaling - 1x, 2x, theoretically 3x. Everything inbetween will lead to blurry text/assets and decreased performance since the output as a who

It's better than 1080p as it is much sharper and crisper, but 1080p at 27 inches results in rather large UI elements. An effective resolution of 2560x1440px (as seen in any iMac 27) seems like the proper resolution for a display of tha

Is that really an issue with Intel's integrated GPUs? Honestly asking. I'm considering a Mac Mini, but there's no way I'm going back to low PPI displays and the lack of affordable 5K / 27" options concerns me (

For starters I think the local drive doesn't even appear in the Finder sidebar by the default - it's the one place where I'd expect it. Of course I can easily change, but most users won't ever change default configuratio
