The encryption/decryption keys for your iMessages are stored with Apple, and are accessible to them. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, Apple–and thus law enforcement–can in fact decrypt them. A while back, Apple was aiming to tran

For anyone looking to buy Steelcase brand new, it's worth knowing that the warranty for the fabric component depends on which series of fabric you choose from. The hardware components are all covered for 12 years, while the choice of f

Aha, what I was looking for was the "Library" popup, which allows drag-and-drop of new components onto the canvas. Now I understand; this latest iteration of Xcode has the code <-> canvas being bidirectional, so using the li

I'd be willing to pay, but it's not clear what is included. For an initial look before paying, I downloaded a pirated copy. It only contains the components' html (and alpine, react, vue) snippets, with no extra documentation.

Hmm? From https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/ : > Xcode includes intuitive design tools that make building interfaces with SwiftUI as easy as dragging and dropping. As you work in the design canvas, ever

I tried to get into it recently, and I couldn't even manage a "hello world" app. The built-in demo/skeleton app creates a text label in code , and that's it. I couldn't even figure out how to get what is now c

Hahah, that's actually awesome. Of course someone out there put in the leg work to work around the licensing issue, and then shared it to the (minor?) masses.

Exactly this. Advanced tldr; I spent 2 years struggling with the inability to troubleshoot Apple's problems to help track down horrific bugs. AirDrop from my iPhone XS to my Early 2019 iMac had always been hit-or-miss. It would usually

The reason tables for layout were so bad was that the table as a whole couldn't be rendered (laid out) properly until every cell was fully rendered first, including images with unspecified width/height attributes as well as dynami

I'm very thankful for Varenecline (aka Chantix/Champix); it's what got me to quit after many years of pack-a-day. I didn't even set a quit date when I started. That drug took away every tiny ounce of satisfaction I ever

Agreed, I don't understand why anyone reaches for uuid v4; it's the dumbest thing out there that sees regular use for no reason whatsoever. The number of developers who reach for uuid v4 is scary; I swear they don't underst

And this right here is why PostgreSQL will never overtake MySQL and its forks. The entire industry is sick of these excuses regarding process-per-client instead of a proper multi-threaded model. There may have been a valid argument for this

The password/key never hits the Bitwarden servers. Bitwarden servers are just storage buckets for encrypted payloads. The server is never involved in the encryption or decryption process; this is the case for Vault, and now Send. All e

This is frighteningly standard across most companies with no serious planning phase for new features, and no code review process. Fact is, some developer was told to create a REST API for password resets, and to return the secret token so t
