Motorola literally sells an Android phone for £200 with 5G. I just don't buy it.
To be fair I've maintained for a while now that the reason Apple uses lightning on the phones is because it's quite frankly much more durable than USB-C.
I think it depends on what your living situation is like as well. Because I live reasonably far out into the suburbs, my home office is a completely separate room, so it's fairly easy to just totally forget it exists…
Indeed and it's this utter nonsense that made me finally give in and switch to Windows. Turns out it's nicer than I thought.
Indeed. I'm honestly surprised to read of such poor experiences here because I've honestly found that Windows 10 has given me a lot less grief than macOS has recently.
Indeed - I was a pretty heavy Mac user for years but I genuinely find that Windows gives me less grief lately.
To be fair I have a DSLR that quite clearly takes much, much better photos than my iPhone Xs Max takes (despite what Apple's marketing would have you believe), but in reality I just don't bother with the DSLR anymore,…
To be honest it never really bothered me once I realised that a lot of iPad apps let me rebind the caps lock key to work as escape. I'd just love for them to make that option available globally like it is on the Mac.
Why not Semantic-ui-react? Surprised it isn't getting more of a mention here, using it at my company and it's been fantastic.
I totally get that. In all honesty, in a rational world a MacBook is more than enough performance for me (and it's actually what I use at work), but there's still very much an enthusiast alive in me that loves my over…
A few years ago I was considering open sourcing a small app I had developed a few years ago. Turns out it'd actually require a lot of work to remove dependencies on other libraries I'd used.
You still need a real serial but you can generate one pretty easily. Just need to check on Apple's website if it validates. I have my PC with an AMD Ryzen 3900X running with macOS with working iMessage / App Store etc.
My understanding is it's actually a limitation of the Intel C++ compiler they use but I can't confirm this. On Windows it bakes in some conditionals to check if the CPU is GenuineIntel before doing some things, on macOS…
Do you not ever miss the added power of your hackintosh though? I have a 2017 MBP and it's a great machine but I still love having my big ridiculously powerful desktop with three monitors for when I want that.
What made you stop using one?
In short, some software (Adobe included) makes use of features that are available on Intel processors but not on AMD. Whilst both AMD and Intel are x86-64 they do both have their own unique features. For example, on…
I'm running a hackintosh with a Ryzen 9 3900X. The OS itself runs great. The only thing to be aware of is whether your software will play nicely with a non-Intel CPU. Adobe software requires patching for example, and…
Indeed though keep in mind that the current method for running macOS on AMD doesn't use this and instead relies on patching through Clover. The downside being that whilst the OS itself may run any applications that use…
To be fair the UK absolutely does have average speed checks on many of its motorways.
To be fair I don't think it's just a propaganda tool - I think in the case of the terrorism threat levels at least they're ultimately used for justifying higher levels of funding. Compare it to working in an office -…
I'm 25. I use Facebook. I've noticed many of the people younger than me don't use it at all and many of the people around my age do have accounts but rarely actually use it.
I'm not in a senior role. I do enjoy my job but I'm basically a sole Rails dev - I develop an app that the company offers to clients, which I suspect plays into the long notice period - I suspect they'd have a fair…
I work in the U.K., as a not very well paid Rails dev haha.
Two weeks notice? I wish. My current employer requires three months.
Yup, noticed the same in the UK. I can't help but feel like the prices are intentionally kept high to pressure people to replace rather than repair.
