I've used it quite a lot in Europe - specifically for walking directions in cities. I prefer Apple Maps for walking directions, especially paired with the watch - the data is good and the UX with the watch is excellent.

Google is regularly ranked as one of the top 5 most recognisable brands in the world. It's not some niche techy thing to know what Google is. A few anecdotal experiences on help desk for, at most, a few companies, don't really cha

I can't find any reference to this on Apple's website. They simply they a USB3 cable is required to get USB3 speeds, which I assume they don't ship in the box.

There are also plenty of clips for Xbox or PlayStation controllers that whilst being a little top heavy, are quite comfortable and work well.

Just because the term "social media" came later and was popularised by certain kinds of social media networks, it doesn't mean it doesn't encompass regular old fashioned forums too. What is this right now other than a so

Ok, I wasn't making an argument for the Quest. I was making an argument against the idea that you need a $1500+ PC for VR, that's it. I don't have or want a Quest.

It's less than is required for high end PC VR that was suggested as the reason in my the comment I responded to. That was my only point.

The Quest headsets are standalone, only cost a few hundred dollars and are the most popular. PSVR only requires a playstation 4 or 5 (depending on PSVR or PSVR2) High end PC VR is expensive, yeah - but it's not been the only or even ma

I’m neither here nor there on passkeys, but I think in this scenario if you stored your passkeys in 1Password at least - then when biometrics fail, it would require your 1…password. Although I don’t know how the passkey support in 1Password

Funnily enough, this is why the only USB-C chargers and cables I carry around are my Apple ones - because they've been the only ones that I've been able to reliably trust across all my other devices (including USB-C Apple devices)

How is it different than having to use GOG's website to install a purchase you made or download an updated version? Developers on Steam can ship their own update mechanism separate from Steam if they want to. I feel like people don

>I'm angry with Valve because they don't give publishers the option to distribute their games using an offline, DRM free installer. Yes they do. There are plenty of DRM free games on Steam. DRM is optional on Steam.

They can really only remove the DRM on games that use Steam's own DRM, there are plenty of games on Steam that use third party DRM that they couldn't really do much about. However, on the flip side, there are also a good amount of
