I'm not sure if they actually ever enforced their payment/subscription. I certainly haven't been charged, but I was a user before that started if I remember correctly.

You have to know WhatsApp's user base to understand this. Here in germany it's the de-facto standard communication platform. Everyone and their mother uses WhatsApp - and I mean that literally: Lots of old, non-tech-savvy folks us

How do you _automatically_ maintain a shadow-library? I always argued against the parallel-collection-approach as you'll likely run into inconsistencies while trying to maintain it manually. I'm glad iTunes offers to transcode my

Recently it became clear to me that my Amazon shopping has been limited to stuff I don't really care about that much. These are product categories (and european sources) I frequently buy from, yet Amazon hardly serves any of them compe

I'm aware - my collection is nearing 1 TB of lossless music at this point. However I store it on a local NAS as well as a an external SSD (in case I need it in a portable way, which rarely happens) - I opted for an expensive SSD becaus

Provided I know the host well I consider those early arrival situations much easier to handle than arriving late when the gathering is already in full swing. I know it's absurd, but it almost feels like interrupting. I prefer too ease

I get your point and can relate, but it's an issue that you can control entirely. You already know that those questions shouldn't come up during your vacation, regardless of if you're at home or far away at the beach. So simp

I'm using the same combination. Daily and with zero issues. Of course I'd wish Reeder was more actively developed, but thinking about it there simply isn't anything missing. And if OP is dissatisfied with the available RSS cl

It's not. Other popular european companies like Vodafone or Sky do the exact same thing. They tell you upfront that it will be X € for 12 months, and Y € starting with the 13th month. Unless you cancel. I hate this as much as the next

Briefly. But as a long time Kodi user (since early XBMC / XBOX days) I'm probably quite familiar with the concept and while it certainly fits into my living room setup, it's way too heavy for casual use alongside other activi

Quick related question: Is there a lightweight video player that also acts as library management tool? It seems there are either lightweight players that simply open and play files you throw at it (MPV, VLC, ...) or heavy server-client solu

I've been interested in ERPNext for years and always kept an eye on it as an alternative or replacement for our in-house developed ERP, which currently grows in complexity and may end up at a point where it's too much of a burden

And it's not just the subpar discovery features. It's the combination of awful discovery and their abysmal recommendation engine that renders exploration impossible. When will those engines understand that I'm not interested

While true, there's a significant difference: It's very easy to ignore a notification - the same can't be said about a verbal/face to face interruption.

The main problem with the Macbook Air is the actual resolution: At 1440 x 900 a non-retina display like this is plain outdated and doesn't fit the premium price tag, even if this is Apple's most affordable laptop. The Air is also

You sound very dramatic. You know, you could just not update the OS if it's that important to you. As someone with a non-retina iMac I'm also affected, but I understand that non-retina displays are a niche category these days. Thi

From a european perspective it is insane. While these services certainly can't be free, they should be covered by mandatory healthcare / insurance. Other countries have figured this out long ago. If you have to go to the hospital
