True IBM PCs (up until the PC-AT, I believe) would also boot into BASIC if the floppy drive was empty and there was no fixed disk. In fact, in early versions of PC-DOS, all the basic command did was bootstrap the ROM BASIC, so it didn’t wor

Yes. You can jump through a bunch of hoops to get a similar desktop / phone integration with Linux (or Windows) and Android using a variety of different apps...or you could just use it out-of-the-box since it's all baked in to mac

From my perspective, we're still talking about the actual events of Jan. 6, rather than whatever inane thing Trump would have tweeted this morning to deflect that conversation. In my mind, that's a HUGE win that far outweighs any

Over the last 10 years, I've migrated from three screens down to two screens and am currently down to one and a half screens. (I currently run my code editor and a browser on a 4k monitor and airplay to my 11" iPad where I keep a

My M1 Mac Mini destroys my 2019 16” Macbook Pro (i7). both machines have a 16 GB memory load out and 500 GB of SSD. I haven’t seen any of the performance issues you’re talking about. I do Python and Angular development.

I have a Thinkpad that I have popOS installed on. I have Bootcamp installed on an exteral HDD. I find the user experience on both Linux (desktop) and Windows to be pretty miserable compared to macOS. Having said that, I run three headless 4

I think it’s a combination of the oft spoken ‘ritualization’ that goes along with listening to the medium, along with the fact that modern digital (ie streaming) renditions are inferior. To my ears, a well mastered CD sounds much better tha

In an effort to reinvigorate my computer chops, I've been bouncing between macOS, linux (Manjaro), and Windows 10 on my personal laptop, switching to the next OS in rotation every Sunday night. I'm set up to develop a number of my
