   You were being offered a slightly simplified example, the Hue bridge does indeed require authentication. To answer your other question, the bridge can be accessible via the online “meethue” portal for things like easy remote access but I th

   Have you ever submitted an error report? I moved house just over 12 months ago and there were some errors on both Apple and Google maps. I submitted error reports to both providers, Apple had it fixed in around 48 hours whereas Google have

   Yeah, FaceID seems like an improvement in this aspect - unless OP is locking his fingerprints in a safe before going to bed.

   I can only speak of my own usage, but I use Force Touch a fair bit. The first use case that comes to mind (and one I use fairly often) is changing the torch brightness but the app shortcuts are handy too (also force push on a folder with no

   BMW (at least, I can't speak for other car manufacturers) do have a wireless charging pad type thing inside the centre console. You do realise the phone can still be charged with a cable, right?

    It is a convenient and easy way for the reader to spot the level headed and reasonableness of the commenter. If the chocolate was so terrible, then why is it the most popular chocolate in the UK? Why would Nestlé have bought Cadbury's?

    Mine is, and I live in the UK also. I'm not sure what joke you're making. Sure, we may not have the best bandwidth (although at my previous house I had 250MBit), but supporting IPv6 (etc) has nothing to do with being in the UK. Fi

    You genuinely do not believe that Apple's engineering teams is "one of the best"? It is a pretty arbitrary measure, so where would you place them? Would they make your Top 10? Top 100?

    I thought this sounded familiar, and I managed to find this app[1] that claims to feature a "2D mind map to keep track of your journey and suggest new paths". [1]: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wikilink

    I have to disagree with the Authy recommendation. I switched to Authy a few years ago, but it was nothing but painful and I have recently migrated away from it. For a long time the "TouchID Prompt" was slow and buggy, but that doe

    Are you saying that you remember a unique and sufficiently random password for every website/app/etc you use? If so, you've got a far better memory that me.
