What really bothers be about this is that Dropbox hasn't bothered to reset the sessions. Even after I manually reset my password (which I wasn't prompted or forced to do btw), all my apps (iPhone, desktop etc) that have existing s

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it also possible to just use one of your fingers that you didn't register with touch ID for 5 or so consecutive unlock attempts and it will have the same effect as rebooting your phone?

MS didn't use / for directory separators before. They wanted to in DOS 2.0, but that would mean they had to change / in front of options to something else. So to keep backwards compatibility they used \ instead. It's tru

I've been watching a lot of science channels and documentaries on youtube. And the quality varies a lot. To be honest, I wasn't sure if the content on CuriosityStream would be good enough, since it's very hard to make good sc

Interesting. I've been bombarded with ads on YouTube the last one or two months for this. Thought to sign up a few times, but wasn't sure if it was worth it. Those ads cannot be cheap!

Save to PDF would just give you a PDF. The idea here is that you can do whatever you like with the print-job as long as you can program it. So print to PDF is just the most simple example. I mention a few low hanging fruits in the talk like

Would a better description under the video on YouTube help, or would you want me to have mentioned it on a slide?

Funny you mention that :) I was actually thinking of creating a version of the printer where all print jobs would have the typeface swapped for Comic Sans. It's been pretty hard so far though to figure out how to do this replacement in

You don't need to actively clone a repo to make a change. You just click "Edit" on the file you wan't to change and it'll do the heavy lifting for you. True, you still have to make a commit message and click submit
