Another Belgian here, the first thing I did when I started working is switch to International English keyboards. Some employers wanted me to use local keyboards but I always managed to convince them to let me get another one in the end.

It's a bit of an emotional goodbye to the super cheap Mac Minis we got to enjoy for a while. I got some for family members, we had some serving as iOS/macOS build servers sitting in a closet at my last job, they were fantastic. No

We started using it for unifi.ui.com and the render performance gain has been massive.

Yes, in some European countries, although only for a limited time and they never sold well.

Yes. Android Auto and CarPlay still work and you get basic Google Maps functionality without signing in. You can't download additional apps though.

These levels exist since the DSM-5, which is not yet in use everywhere: The DSM-5 introduced three ASD levels of severity: level 1 (“requiring support”), level 2 (“requiring substantial support”), and level 3 (“requiring very substantial su

I run our office IT, and WiFi 7 is just better at managing congestion. We have a floor in a busy building and 5Ghz is chaos. 6E is fine, it's just strangely old for a company like Apple.

The lack of WiFi 7 is disappointing. 6E is fine but by now I'd expect 7 in new computers.

Has anyone been able to confirm if the macOS 26.1 developer beta is affected? I updated to it pretty quickly and haven't been able to reproduce the lag on it.

It's on both. Apple should probably have caught this in beta considering how widespread Electron apps are, and have worked with Electron to fix it or they should've worked around it (which Microsoft would probably have done).

This might be a good time to remind you that her Vulnicura VR album (that the video you linked to is from) has just been remastered and rereleased. Available on Quest 3 ( https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/97601

It's IEC 62196-2 Type 2 (Mennekes) and CCS2 in Europe. J1772 is the North American standard that is used in CCS1.

Power generated on a train is probably significantly more expensive than power you can pull from the grid. Most of Amtrak's network does not have power so I assume they rely on generators on the train.

Almost all of the other things you want to get rid of are legal requirements in some regions. Auto start-stop is generally to meet emissions targets. European safety regulations have made all of the following required on all new vehicles so

DPI happens on a UniFi Gateway. That could be the same hardware as the controller when it's a UniFi device like a Dream Machine/Dream Router, but it doesn't have to be. The Gateway will do the DPI and report the numbers to th

The last few years it's been tougher and tougher to get them. Even in Europe you can now only buy them directly from Sony, and Amazon in a few countries. Sony is not selling them via any other retailers or operators at all from this ye

I still really like Sony phones. Excellent hardware. They have no online services they are trying to push, they just want you to buy their phones. As a result, the stock software is very clean Google Android without much extra. But they&#x2

That depends on how they're set up. There is no real protocol difference between MasterCard and Visa debit vs credit. Delhaize in Belgium also uses them and you can definitely use all types of credit cards with them (at least Visa&#x2F

I wonder if this is a Swedish thing. I recently moved to a newly built apartment in Stockholm (as a non-Swede). All spots to put a ceiling light come with a hook and DCL socket, so it makes it super easy to swap lamps.

Internally at Facebook you could also just call React components from XHP. Not very relevant on what you see on Facebook now as a user, but in older internal tools built with XHP it made it very easy to just throw in React components. When

I'm far from an expert, but what is most likely is: - The underlying firmware for the Marvell WiFi controller that Sony provided when they updated the PSP to support WPA (with AES) also supports WPA2 (with AES). - Sony never set it up

Audio is tiny compared to video (and even images), especially for podcasts, think ~1MB/minute. And they compress well if you want them to be smaller. High quality video (think 4K HDR) can quite comfortably be over 1MB per second. I ass

If you can run your application on Cloudflare Pages / Workers with Cloudflare's storage/DB things, it really gets dirt cheap (if not free) and very fast. And even without that, Cloudflare's caching CDN is very good, very

Apps still don't have system level access to anything, so no. iPhone apps can't automatically run in the background, run on boot or just access random data from random apps. If they can it'd be an exploit, and while the App S

I'm sorry but the way they interrupt the flow so many times is ridiculous. It would take minimal changes to make this flow non-disruptive but Apple wants users to drop off as much as possible during installation.

A lot of networked receivers/audio systems have C4A (Cast 4 Audio) built-in, and they should support grouping. I have a Sony receiver-esque audio system and it plays in sync with my Google Home speakers very nicely.

That is not the case. Only YouTube and Netflix have exceptions where the Android app on Google TV / Android TV intercepts the standard Chromecasting where the TV just pulls up the receiver web app in an ephemeral browser. And even for
