First, I agree with you - it's bullshit they took away the features they did. That said, of all the people you know in the Apple ecosystem, how many people know/do the following: know what an id3 tag is, manage the metadata of the

That sounds very tidy, but reality is not that simple. Here is a very real situation many schools face: you have 100 slots in your school. You objectively determine that X skills are needed to do well in your school. 1000 applicants demonst

A perspective from for whom no cable is life changing. I have very sensitive ears and I always found the cable getting caught on something, even a minimal one just behind the head, pulling down on my ears which is a very unpleasant experien

When they go down to about 10% and I still need to listen to something, I take one out and let it charge for 15 minutes which takes it to over 75% for me, repeat for the other and I’m done with no downtime and a mono experience for 30 mins.

The paperless project has some tweaks in the config that can get decent results out of the box. For general use with decent quality documents it will work pretty well right now versus spending hours tweaking Tesseract.

It depends on the scenario. If all you’re trying is stop it from working, the article says it’s IR based so jamming the sensor (the camera) with a lot of IR radiation can work quite nicely. Individually you could do this with bright IR emit

I’m really excited about the idea of the building applications being available to more people and I think that in theory there’s definitely a class of application that should not require extensive or even very much programming knowledge at

Thank you for sharing your story, I wanted to add a somewhat related perspective in the same train of thought. My grandfather was a severe alcoholic, beat my father, the whole 9 yards. My father was obsessed with not becoming an alcoholic a

At first confusing, then enlightening. When I was hired, I was told many things about the values of the company, how much they wanted people to think about doing things differently and create innovation even if it was not directly profitabl

I saw them everywhere in Rome last summer. Lots of tourists of course, but I try to go off the beaten path and I saw quite a few locals wearing them too.

Some of the cheap knockoffs are getting really good. Mine get 4.5 hrs battery life, have the optical sensor on the bud that pauses when taken out and wireless charging case including an cloned (stolen) apple SoC that gives the real battery

I'm sorry, but you are not correct. My head unit (which is required to do stuff like check the oil level, no dipstick) is VIN locked. That's stupid. It's nothing more than a money grab because they can.

I have zero desire to do any performance or emissions changes. For anything (well not anything, but it feels like anything and certainly quite a few parts) with electronics, I can't buy a real OEM BMW made part that is an exact match t

Definitely not an expert in BT but I've worked with it on the edges. Bluetooth is the biggest standard I've ever worked with by far in just terms of sheer page count, to say nothing of its complexity. That's just the core sp

Cats drinking bowls of milk is a TV thing or people who don't know better. Almost all mammals, including humans, lose the ability to effectively process lactose at some point in their life. Keeping the ability to process lactose as an

Rapidly after drinking a glass of milk (or any of the many, many things that include lactose) it becomes very very clear that I am lactose intolerant to both myself and everyone around me.

I'm truly happy that you are not lactose intolerant. I know you are not intolerant because if you were, that's not a question you'd need to ask. I don't want to be crass, let's just say the symptoms are NOT ambiguou

It's already here. The only reason I can do my own work on my N20 engine BMW is because they implemented really bad and vulnerable car DRM that can be trivially defeated, but they have improved on that in latter models.

I live on the edge of the woods. Tons of deer, rabbits, etc. The only thing that 1) works reliably for me and 2) is safe and ethical (so not poison or the like) has been an enclosed wire mesh fence. I resisted this solution for a long time

Almost everyone who has canned food paid cash or equivalent for that canned food (most banks don't accept home-canned) which means they spent money on those cans. Unless you can buy a can for less than the shelter, its always better to

Everything about what they did was not well thought out. The way to do this scam with far less risk is with a stolen identity. They had the fraudulent refunds deposed into their own personal accounts and even tried to take the money and run

In their mind, they bought a $4.3 billion orange and expect to make more than $4.3 billion worth of orange juice from it. If you want to find out what it feels like to be inside of an orange that’s being squeezed for $4.3 billion plus value
