False. AirDrop does discovery via bluetooth, but then sets up an ad-hoc WiFi connection directly between devices to transmit data. No network required.

Is XQuartz maintained anymore? I've had this feeling that it's basically been on life support for years now.

Lovely looking editor with a bunch of features, but they seemingly forgot to include support for something as ubiquitous as C? That's kind of a weird omission. I'll be following the development of this, but for now I'm not pl

What a nice little tool! I have two random no-name adapters at work for my two monitors. One is DisplayPort, and the other HDMI. I wasn't expecting this to work, but sure enough, it does! Both monitors show up and promptly respond to m

I have yet to encounter a paywall on that site. I don't know what you are talking about here. It looks like they are accepting donations for server costs, but I've confirmed that the downloads are free.

Do human drivers have instant car-to-car communication? No. So why should a self-driving car have it? Self-driving cars will never happen if the fundamental assumption is that every single vehicle on the road is able to actively communica

The Blender Foundation team is absolutely killing it, not only with their product development, but also their marketing. Which reminds me, I'm long overdue in donating to BF. So much inspiration and utility over the years.

I still prefer having a solid secondary option in case my home network has an outage. (One occurred a few weeks ago) I'm currently paying 18.90€/mo for 50/50mbit/s 4G + texts and calls that I never use. My home connectio

There is a switch on the keyboard interface card inside the ][+ that allows you to toggle between requiring CTRL be held down, or just pushing the reset key. I would assume that this was added later, and wasn't available on the earlier

You can just flick left/right on the volume/brightness icons to adjust a single increment, without having to bring out the slider. This isn't documented anywhere, it's another one of those hidden features you just have t

It's really infuriating. I've been using the 10.15 betas since june. Every single time I build&run my binary in Xcode, macOS asks if it should have access to my Documents folder. I click `yes` every time, but it never remember
