Wasn't it a craze around 1992?
Why do you need +/- zoom buttons? You can just double-tap the screen but hold down the second tap, then slide your finger up or down to zoom in/out as an alternative to pinch-zooming.
Worse, Google makes it really difficult for government GIS admins to upload the correct data. Last time I looked, if you ever want to update the bike/ped paths (like when a new one is constructed) they want you to…
It's the opposite, no? Cities / suburbs that were built after 1950 often don't have a grid system.
I take it you’ve never been to Portland and used Tri-Met? It’s the second best public transit system I’ve used in the US, NYC being #1. And I’ve used transit in Boston, Chicago, SF, Seattle, Philly, Denver, and a…
It's better to go with something like a $150 Intel NUC running pfsense (free) to connect to the VPN because the vast majority of Wi-Fi routers don't have enough CPU to decipher 256bit AES encryption in real-time. Once…
Weird, fully masked Face ID has worked fine for me since the iOS 13.5 update (more than 95% of the time). Before that it never worked with a mask on. And I wear the L size huge standard disposable white mask which…
I remember finding out 15 years ago that the moderately progressive well-known "university town" where I lived at the time (Southeastern U.S.) didn't actually recycle anything, they just buried the plastic stuff and the…
Except no other animal harnesses the power of oil to make machines that can wipe out hundreds of thousands of square km of ecosystems (on land and sea) in a single day.
There's more than just food energy, though. Lots of things that we rely on for modern civilization and survival are finite -- the most obvious being petroleum / gas and various minerals + metals. Additionally,…
Why don't you just turn the scrollbars on permanently in System Preferences? It's under General > Show scroll bars always.
But but... I thought Apple's excuse for their 30% tax was that their App Review process and locked down OS etc is supposed to prevent apps from doing such malicious things on iOS? To keep us and our data "safe"? Err...…
Fleetwood Mac was definitely fueled by cocaine.
Are you serious? Last time I had my Macbook Pro repaired, they sent me a prepaid box, I mailed it to them the next morning, and I had it back in 3 days. Other than a tech personally coming to your house, what else do…
Google didn't create Docs, they bought it.
So magazines, newspapers, books (written words) + databases and cloud storage are fine? But that sounds like the ingredients of EMAIL. So arbitrary.
> That's how Apple supports and pays for its work on the platform. Oh, really? Then what's the justification for not charging a single cent for free apps? It costs Apple just as much to host the Facebook app on the App…
Interestingly, I remember this exact scenario was a noted problem for some sort of computer-controlled shock absorbers that I saw on the "Beyond 2000" TV show in the mid-90s. In many scenarios, the shock absorbers could…
You don't need a dongle to use regular old USB-A devices with a USB-C computer. All you need to do is replace the cable which is usually like $5. So if your MIDI keyboard or audio interface has a USB-B connector on the…
You do know that all you have to do is buy a USB-B to USB-C cable and you can connect your existing equipment to your Macbook, right? I mean it sucks that the new Macbooks have so few USB-C ports, but there's nothing…
"can actually drive it from the keyboard without tying my fingers in knots" How is the Mac's ability to natively edit ANY Keyboard Shortcut in ANY app and across the entire system not years ahead of anything that…
Yes it does, I'm using it right now. Safari 13.1; macOS 10.15.4; 2014 MBP. Nothing special here, it just works (though I normally use Brave).
LOL, what? You're clearly talking out of your ass if you think smoking a bowl will make you forget to feed a baby, or taking acid or shrooms will make you cry. Is this sarcasm?
Isn't that basically the "Outlet Store" model? New clothes made to lower standards but ostensibly sold under the illusion of being "last season's overstock" of the high quality normal version?
I've run into this recently when trying to launch a new site after being away from web design for nearly 15 years (i.e. since smartphones). The tools, expectations, and target devices are so different now. After looking…
