   I can right click my Google Photos folder and download the whole thing as a zip, just tested it and it works fine.

   I received a hard drive from Amazon, loose in a large box with some cardboard stuffed on top. Unsurprisingly it was DOA.

   It's probably not blocked by most websites yet :) Edit: Scratch that, it's not a new site.

   I never actually experienced any rate limiting/blacklisting issues while I ran it. I even tested spamming messages to myself, it worked but upset my iOS notifications a fair bit maybe I just got lucky.

   I've previously ran OSX in a VM to send automated alerts over iMessage. It worked rather well.

    I got fed up the other week and on a whim switched to Xubuntu on my 2013 MBA and other than no drivers for the PCI based webcam (Apple webcams no longer sit on the USB bus) which I barely used anyway, everything is pretty much fine apart fr

    Google Earth Pro seemingly has a fair few customers at the moment so I would assume the free desktop version will stick around for a while. https://www.google.com/intx/en_uk/work/mapsearth/customers/

    That's pretty cool, I never bothered handling actually starting the Messages app because I was just running it in a VM and assumed it would always work on startup. I don't use this anymore because I've ditched my iPhone.

    I wrote a little bash script to allow for the sending of iMessages and made a little API in Node so I could send service status messages across all my devices easily. It's probably not possible to do this in pure Node but if it's

    I saw some posters (I think for West End tickets) on a Southern train a little while back using a .london domain. Though it wasn't prefixed with a www so I wonder how many people didn't recognise it as being a domain name.

    I just use a Trello board for my personal todo lists, it's simple and I know it won't be going away anytime soon. You can add attachments, due dates and all sorts of nice little things in a card. I use it to manage projects with c
