Hm, nothing is paywalled for me. I’ve been reading articles on both my laptop and phone while not signed in. I guess the paywall is applied only to some countries.

When did Apple introduce overlay scrollbars on Mac? Does anyone know? I ask because it seems that Windows and Linux are moving in that direction as well.

The website’s text does not render with JavaScript disabled. IMO, this is a huge blunder for such a simple, static website. Just put the text in the HTML document.

> Apple no longer includes chargers in the box with iPhone purchases Is this true? So you buy a $1,000 device, but then the battery runs out, and you can’t use your $1,000 device unless you pay extra for a charger?

When users complain about headaches and eyestrain, it’s probably better to take them seriously.

(Copy-pasted from other comment:) The author of that website claims that they’ve seen multiple comments that complain about headaches and eyestrain. This is the first item in the FAQ, which suggests that it’s one of the most common complain
