Apple has an iCloud connector for Windows. Wouldn't that work for you? For some of my pictures and media in general, I like Plex very much.

Couple of suggestions: Oracle's OCI has a free offering. One could use that as a mail relay. Also SpamHero has been a pleasure to work with with very reasonable pricing to filter most of the junk that comes in, re-delivery service and

Let's not forget that these policies fostered the development of encryption in Canada, Australia and other countries (See SSLEay for example). So it ended up being counter-productive. The simplest way to stop competition is to subsidiz

There are lots of systems that don't support ACME. Enterprise firewalls for example are just starting to support it. Lots of embedded devices still do not support it. Older enterprise servers have either very poor or not compatible eno

Sometimes in 2016 we were working on a kitchen renovation and decided on a built-in double oven, and went with GE's offering. I seriously considered $ 300 more for the top-shelf offering that included convection on both ovens and Wi-Fi

When I had a 2016 Mazda, I regularly downloaded their firmware, which at some point came fairly frequently. Like other manufacturers, their dealer portal posts firmware upgrades along with other service bulletins, and occasionally the firmw

The 5G twist is pure BS. These cars (Circa 2016) have no modem that connects directly to the head-unit, and if they do are a separate module that's 3G only. My theory is that the radio station sent some unicode characters on their RDS

I had Surface 3 Pro and it was a nightmare. In the end, the SSD died and the way the machine is glued together, it's impossible to open without breaking the screen. Before its final death, it had problems with sleep/wake functions

There is minimal effort in a CLI app compared to a full-fledged web app. I also appreciate how much faster things are when there is a CLI REST APP instead of a GUI front-end for the same application.

Actually, as a tidbit, Chromium is a fork of WebKit, which is Safari's rendering engine, which for some reason started as a fork from Konqueror (KDE Linux desktop's browser). Google did however replace the javascript engine in Chr

I made the mistake of buying a Chumby clock (With Firmware signed by Sony, which likely maintained a VM somewhere to boot their clocks until they decided it wasn't worth the effort) without realizing that it needed an internet connecti

'authoritarian regime' is a slippery slope. There can be clear human violations, but at what point does a government become authoritarian? USA has plenty of violations on its shoulders, perhaps complicit in many others. I would no

My takeaway is the author's complete disregard for PHP and other 'mature' languages.

A suggestion would be to treat destinations that do not need to traverse a gateway (ie local network) differently. Browsers would need to implement this. Further, they could present an initial dialog to 'trust' the local network.

I had the 1st two generation Pebbles, and now I'm using a Versa Lite. I do find a lot of resemblance on Pebble. Granted it's not open at all and their 'store' is, to me, much less inviting. Yeah not open source at all. H

Years ago, I worked on a project that required generating PDF invoices. Used the FPDF library and I was shocked how small the files are (including a properly sized logo) when generated compared to most other PDFs 'rendered' from w

So Facebook users are not the people using its service, but the advertisers that pay to collect data from them. Glad they made this abundantly clear. Facebook users are the product they're selling.

The problem isn't much about labor costs in the US, but the dismantling of the supply chain. Even Apple had problems sourcing screws when building a handful of its computers in the USA, which is well documented. To re-build a domestic

It's going to be a problem for some systems for sure, but as the STIR framework is used to attest the number, the caller itself doesn't need to do anything. The originating carrier then attests with a level certainty A, B or C who

New Mazda models also no longer have touchscreens. We lease one of the newer models and honestly do not miss the touchscreen at all. The rotary controls are intuitive and less distracting

I'm not sure is deprecated. If you're free (paid by your own data), Hangout is the 'consumer' version. Meet is the paid platform, with more business oriented features.

The question is why? Is this something G decided to do or is it required by a government? If it's the first, it's just G being idiotic. The second would worry me very much.
