The security on iOS comes from extremely well working sandboxing, not from Apple's control. A lot of scam apps get through app review. From a security point of view app review is not effective at all. That's just a story Apple lik

I think this would be the best solution. Apples only (real) reason for forbidding sideloading is because then they could no longer force people to use their payments. If developers were free to use 3rd party payment solutions, then Apple wo

Yeah, the dongles themselves work fine, it's other USB 3 devices that cause the problem (eg. hard drives or USB 3 hubs). Bluetooth is also affected by the interference. The advantage of a dongle is that you can use an extension cable a

The problem with Bluetooth is that it just doesn't work well when you want to use one keyboard or mouse with multiple computers. For this reason I prefer the dongles. Want to use your mouse on a different Mac? Just plug the dongle in a

> human evolution (and survival) matters only until 14-40 I just don't think that's true. I think grand parents being around was important for human survival. If it wasn't, if all that mattered was having the most kids, th

I once forgot to extinguish a candle before going to bed, it burned down, and produced a massive amount of soot. Their was a stripe of black suit on the wall where the candle was standing, a black spot on the ceiling, and my upper lip and n

The black smoke is soot from partially burned wax and it's definitely carcinogenic.

I guess I should have avoided the term "family car", since there are lots of different types of cars that are suitable as a family car. So I searched Wikipedia and the types of car I was thinking about are apparently called "

With "family car" I meant something like the VW Touran. A somewhat affordable car that still has enough space for all the stuff you might want to take along, like strollers, backpacks, scooters, kid bikes, skis, helmets, boots wha

Then they should advertise it as a one time download or a limited time rental. I don't have an issue with that. But they shouldn't advertise "store your purchased movies in the cloud for free" when they only do that as l

Malaria is an endemic disease in parts of Africa (constant occurrence in a population). An epidemic is a disease rapidly spreading in a population (sudden outbreak). Pandemic is a worldwide outbreak.

Look at the marketing pictures on https://www.apple.com/imac-24/ Every picture features an iMac on a beautiful desk with the power adaptor conveniently not in the picture. There's not really a place to hide it if

The first paragraph of the story explicitly mentions that this is about "small" youtubers. You could argue that the headline is clickbait, but if you actually read the article they don't try to hide the fact that these are no

Fixed price projects are really really hard. You will almost always end with arguments what is in scope and what isn't. You'll always have stuff in the proposal that turns out to be a lot of work, or unnecessary, but if it's

The nice thing about the All-In-One Macs was always how portable they were. The Mac Plus, the Colour Classic, the all-in-one Quadras, and every previous version of the iMac -- just a single box, a standard power cable, a keyboard and a mous

The $5000 standalone monitor does not have a VESA mount, you have to buy an adaptor. It's ridiculous, because a VESA mount is literally just 4 holes with M4 thread. With Apple, everything is secondary to profit.

TBH I think mesh routers are overhyped garbage. They don't work well, and pollute the spectrum, and are a really poor substitute for cables. The only reason why they sell well is because people will buy anything as long as they don&#x2

I can only speak for myself, and I hate power bricks with a passion. You need to find a place to hide them, they are annoying when cleaning, and they are annoying when you move devices (need to untangle not only cable but also power brick).

This has been the case with iMac models for a couple of years now. It's ridiculous. If you want to upgrade to a more ergonomic setup you need to buy a new computer... (Also, 2m power cable is a bit short for an articulating monitor arm

No, but you might need a longer power cable. Hope you don't mind an extension cord and a weird box dangling somewhere! But at least the computer looks sleeker now!

My kids are 7 and 8 years old and can't tie laces because they never had shoes with laces. (We've taught them how to tie laces on multiple occasions but it's pointless if they don't have shoes where they need to tie them

When I was a kid I hated the fact that I always was the slowest kid because I had laces and all the other kids had velcro shoes. Now I just don't care. Sure it takes 15 seconds to tie them but at some point I just stopped caring about
