Touch ID is awesome, but I semi-regularly use the APFS snapshot rollback feature and it erases my finger prints. Does anyone know why this happens? I was very happy when I found out APFS is CoW but it kind of sucks that restoring an old sna

It's a bug in a messaging app that corrupts your message database, so calling it "a bug" feels like an understatement. It sucks that people (myself included) try to convert friends to Signal when serious bugs happen regularly

I very much disagree with that quote, so I had to look it up. It comes from a theologian/pastor who then goes on to talk about why God and the Bible are at the core of human dignity. Colour me shocked that a pastor criticises a large

And you're genuinely wondering why they are imposing limits? Sure, the new limits are <40GB/student, but most students are probably only using like 1GB of storage anyway. They write some essays, store some PDF's, share som

What is, for a nation / union, the benefit of having a "top stocks centre"? Why does the EU care about EU company stock being traded on an EU-based stock exchange? Is this somehow tax related? Or does it give the EU power ove
