This is the last straw for me as well. I only used Google for search and never had an account anyway, so it's not even a hassle. Their results are slightly better than DuckDuckGo, but I'll take the productivity hit.…
A quarter of the US population isn't common? Not to mention entire countries with limited connections.
We need our personal websites to start linking directly to each other again… friends, coworkers, mentors, related topics, etc… This trend died out, it used to be on practically every website. Maybe people just figured…
The device needs a factory reset. Deleting the Files app itself does nothing, even though this warns you that all associated data will be deleted. Which is unsurprising at this point. The latest OS updates feel like I'm…
Beware: don't share dot files with the Files app. I tried to sync a git directory and now my Files app is filled with several hundred git object files (bf13ee59588b878f1d780c5cc8cd2e3410eaba, etc) that cannot be…
I had the equivalent model of these about ten years ago, no complaints. IEMs will have better sound quality than regular headphones. There was more cord noise, from what I remember, probably because they make everything…
It doesn't work in Safari, either. I don't use any ad blockers, and it states that I need to disable my ad blocker to continue. These types of news/mag websites seem dead set on rendering themselves utterly pointless,…
I get it, for some people it doesn’t matter. There is zero difference between xfce (Gnome, Windows, etc) and MacOS. But for some people, they have used MacOS since OS X 1.0 (or for me, System 7) and there is a…
Maybe some hardware/carrier configurations have less problems? All I can say is, in the past 15+ years of SMS messaging, in the US, on every carrier, with devices ranging from the early Nokias to the latest iPhones, I…
SMS has always been unreliable. It has no place in modern communications. No delivery confirmation: messages silently drop and the recipient is unaware you attempted to message them. There is no notification to you that…
https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ NetNewsWire 5 just released for MacOS. I believe it's also coming to iOS eventually.
If anyone is looking for a quick comparison of Atom and RSS formats: http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/Rss20AndAtom10Compared#... I would also encourage Atom over RSS, the specification is simpler and less ambiguous.
I recently got tired of streaming, and started collecting music the "old" way and rebuilding my library. Bandcamp has been awesome for this. $10 for a DRM-free album in Flac is perfect, most other services are charging…
Here's an idea, how about spending time and effort on something that's an actual priority.
The interface overhaul is a huge accomplishment. I suspect adoption will grow considerably. The previous interface conventions were unusual and clumsy, and were the primary barrier for those curious about switching…
Linode is good. DigitalOcean is fine, too. I find some of their distro tooling to have annoying and longstanding bugs that never get fixed, though. I eventually moved all my servers back to Linode to avoid the small…
There's also a terminal incantation to input a text file and output a multi-hour long sound file of the entire document processed with text-to-speech. It's about what you'd expect it to sound like... almost unbearable.…
> USB-C are a mess Apple doesn't support USB-C adoption themselves, look at the cables included in all of their peripherals and the iOS lineup. They are all USB-A. Everything they sell is incompatible out of the box if…
Reiterating your point, the area is uninhabitable on a timescale of thousands of years. Some estimates are at 20,000 years. The timeline of that region being poisonous extends so far beyond our current history that it's…
Wow, it is listed... I wonder what the root cause is for all of these problems with the MBP line. For the record, I have exchanged my 2018 MBP twice (so far) because of multiple different hardware problems. Not…
Also, those people finder sites that scrape public records. When I search for a name, usually their blog is listed below 10 creepy lookup sites that list their name, physical address history, phone numbers, relatives,…
I appreciate the response. From someone who has operated a mail server since 2002, it comes across that Gmail does not care about cooperating with small but legitimate mail servers. SPF, DKIM, reverse DNS, no…
I work remotely on a satellite connection. Been doing it for a couple of years. The minimum connection latency is 800-1000 ms, and the maximum download speed is 1-3 Mbps. That's with a 10 GB bandwidth cap though, so my…
I disabled the allow push notifications checkbox in Safari, but still get prompted with the native Safari modal. I'm not sure how this is done, and it's infrequent, but I'm guessing Safari left a hole in their…
I had the same reaction when watching blind YouTubers show how they use VoiceOver. It was so fast I couldn't understand or follow along. A good takeaway was feeling their frustration with improperly labeled items. You…
