Some ISPs and their routers don't allow for the DNS settings to be changed, unfortunately. Still can be worked around, but sometimes the easiest solution is to just edit the DNS settings directly.

I've tried Shure (and other) earphones like this before, but could never stand the rustling of cable noise. Does that bother you at all, or do you have any recommendations for stopping it? I've tried shirt clips and cable loops, b

I think most versions of iOS have had a built-in slideshow function in the Photos application. Try loading up some photos onto the iPad, add to an album, and see if there's a slideshow option somewhere.

That's probably the case with all HR monitors, no? If it's not securely in place, any HR monitor will have the same problem. I bought a knock-off velcro wrist strap for my watch and it keeps it in place. I have mixed success with

Prefacing this with IANAL. US seems to just have a more broad term for goods delivered that you didn't order and refers to it as "unordered merchandise"[1]. You're pretty much free to keep it, it seems. The UK is more sp

That's not true. Some of the best photos I've seen were not taken with an DSLR. You'll definitely get higher quality photos, but that doesn't mean they're more interesting. But I do agree that buying an entry DSLR w

Having lived in London for several years, I have a special hatred of black cab drivers. I have never had a single good experience using a black cab, and very few of my friends do either. Complaints range from refusing to take a fare (which

You should look at the specs and how FaceID works. It's so much more than just a camera. The iPhone X is currently the only device to support face detection. All other iPads, iPhones, and MacBook Pro range use TouchID. It was years bef

FaceID won't work if you're not looking directly at it. They can't force your eyes to look at it.

I'm in my 30s. I enjoy movies but don't often go to the movie theater for a number of reasons, but they're all inherent to the ticket cost. Prices are often $15-$20 for most shows (and that's just plain old 2D) at the th

I imagine BMW, like other manufacturers, are holding onto some form of internal combustion as long as possible. But they are expanding their EV options. The all-electric MINI (a popular brand and owned by BMW) is due in 2019 and there'

Considering how much Apple is focused on Apple Music, I'm not surprised. Both the Shuffle and Nano don't support the service, only able to sync content within an iTunes library. It would've been great to see Apple Music suppo

Sorry, this was not aimed at/related to dev.to - just an observation of address fields in general. Glad you were displaying geographically appropriate address info :)

In a very small way, it always bothers me as a Brit (now living in the US) to see address information ask for (and even require) a ZIP code for int'l customers for two reasons: 1. ZIP is a US-only term. Sure, it's easy to figure o

The actual agreement was done a few years ago, part of which was the "gradual reduction of roaming costs over two years". Your point about Three is actually a reason why this agreement was needed. Why have none of the other carrie

Backblaze and Crashplan aren't really comparable to iCloud, in the same way that they shouldn't be compared to Dropbox. They're both backup services, neither position themselves as online file storage in quite the same way. i

You're confusing the movie and the music. There are a lot of terrible movies with great soundtracks (Phantom Menace, for instance). Both Clint Mansell and Lorne Bale are highly-regarded and talented composers, with many soundtracks und

But is that because mobile game developers made a conscious effort to just focus on making money from IAPs, or because the economy on mobile is so badly skewed? A $10 game on Xbox, PlayStation, or even Steam is considered fairly low-cost. O
