Did the question about Apple’s new laptops and their apparently high writes in general usage get resolved? And was it incorrect/misleading reporting, or somehow not a problem (life of SSD still likely to be ‘long enough’) or is it stil

How about for sharing data between semi-co-operating companies? One problem with sharing data between multiple parties is that you need somewhere central to store it, somewhere that's ultimately trusted. If you decide to trust one part

The AM and FM radio here are full of stations I don't want to listen to - same with most of what's on DAB. Just an AUX socket please.

Yes I sometimes have to airdrop a file because sync isn’t happening - yet - for no explained reason. OneDrive is just too slow and clunky for me on MacOS Dropbox just kept failing to start a sync from iPhone (likely entirely due to the OS n

It's a misspelling of 0K, or 'zero Kelvin', meaning that there's no energy left to argue, so just 0K, whatever, let's go with what you're saying,

Maybe it’s non idiomatic JavaScript or something. The idea of it sounded good to me - I often used to want to find files and modify them in place and used find, grep and perl (options were -pi -e? Can’t remember!) … I should have made a scr

Occasionally I will accidentally not have an ad blocker, and yes, the amount of CPU required by them can be enormous. People seem to just be used to them and claim that their computers are ‘getting slower’, but really they don’t use their c

What about ones that don't interconnect? Is that a thing? Do users know where they should go in order to be connected to everyone? With a mobile app that picks a 'server' for you without interaction, no problem. With a browse

If you're referring to the 'overdiagnosis' (i.e. misdiagnosis) of ASD/ADHD early in life, I completely agree that this shouldn't be happening. I also wasn't arguing for early diagnosis, as I understand the dang

I was going to ask if there was a way to easily turn it off from my phone, then I found this linked to from the github page: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1543143740?platform... This looks great. Curren

You’re saying these people were able to understand one of the major aspects of their make-up and were able, after years of struggle, to at least give a name to the reason for the struggle they still had to deal with. They must have had some

If you look around, you may spot there's a decent number of people over 30 (and 40) who have turned around their lifestyles and become very physically healthy. I'm one of them, having experienced mental illness like you - and I ke

I have a ten year old iPad that’s still in use, and an eight year old iPhone. I don’t see why they would stop being useful any time soon.

I have about twelve Lightning cables (2 in car, 4 permanently installed at convenient locations, a few in my work bag, an couple in another bag and some currently missing) and one USB-C cable, which I use for charging my laptop. At some poi

When driving down country roads in the UK, it's normal to drive in the middle of the road - or entirely on the other side of the road, briefly, if: * You have a clear view of the road ahead * You're wanting to drive fairly q

I’m not sure if I have an intuition for which way the compass directions are due to nature or nurture. I was encouraged to think about it from an early age, but that doesn’t prove I wouldn’t have just had that kind of intuition anyway. It’s

Place another finger on the pad, higher up, and release the first. That doesn’t seem to work here. I’m assuming you mean swiping your finger quickly across the pad to the top and then moving slowly down again, as yes, that’s working.

Does it matter that you're weaker? Perhaps if you felt dizzy or tired enough that you might injure yourself. I found myself feeling a little weaker before I got into the habit of fasting until late afternoon, but once I got used to i

This doesn’t disregard that. It lays it out with some nice numbers so that it’s clear. It’s much appreciated. I’m very happy to pay USD 200 if I ever need to retrieve a last chance backup. If I just want the data in no rush I can trickle it

My tactic is to drop in on the charger before I start getting ready for bed, then put it back on when I’m ready to go to sleep. Because it charges quickly, that’s enough to give me power through the night and the next day. I’d still like a

I have a bag of replacement pulls. Sometimes, though, the mechanism breaks in such a away that you can’t attach a new pull to it. Not YKK, of course!

No, driver's license doesn't need to be carried around in the UK. If the police want to see it, you can bring it to them later. Other IDs - nothing is required to be carried around in the UK, but lots of offices have a pass card,

Can you connect an SSD via USB-c and boot from it instead, once the internal drive dies?

It is, but I’ve watched companies who were doing well start hiring younger, cheaper -10x developers and people losing their incomes, pensions etc. because they listened to the ’cheap’ and trendy-seeming who were eager to people-please and i

Build quality looks good. For me the purchase cost isn’t off-putting. The thought of not having time to do anything with it is what makes me think it’s a bad purchase.

I’d be happy to have a shorter life on my small, cheap battery because it should be cheap to replace.
