The Pros don't fit my ears even with the smallest ear tips. I definitely welcome bringing that feature to the regular model.

Interesting. OpenRouter classifies the Moonshot provider as ZDR. I wonder whether they have a ZDR agreement or it's a misclassification on their part.

Not the OP, but I just downloaded the latest stub from an M2 MacBook Air using Safari and it appears to be an x86_64-only binary: % file /Volumes/Steam/Steam.app/Contents/MacOS/steam_osx /Volumes&#x

On macOS you can search menu items via Shift–Command–QuestionMark (or by opening the Help menu). Most toolbar actions are also exposed as menu items, so this lets you essentially search for almost every function of every application that pl

Some apps offer to move themselves to /Applications on first launch. Still, there's the possibility of users clicking "Cancel". Even then, it's a bit more code to write, test and pay for (from the POV of a client).

Another reason could be to ensure that you have at most one copy of the application ever, since you can force it to install stuff always at the same location. On an unrelated product we learned that users ended up with many different copies

You have to take into account the helper and renderer processes. A freshly launched instance takes around 250 MB on my system. It consumes more as you open files that trigger lazy loading of additional extensions. Still less than other IDEs

Yes! Thanks for releasing this and making my life easier :) I have an old app deployed to App Engine. The app itself is rock solid and chugging along fine (I touch it once a year or so), but I dreaded having to deploy it due to the lack of

FastMail. It's one of the few third party hosts to support push email on iOS with the native Mail app (it's a custom protocol based on APNS), since Mail doesn't implement IMAP IDLE [1]. They are also the main sponsors behind

It depends. I used to have my own email server. Having to manage yet another public server is a stress on its own. Having to worry about server backups, security, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, avoid being blacklisted, etc made it even worse. Despite al

I read this as HipChat’s own export function having problems handling large amounts of data. I’m not sure how this is Mattermost’s fault.

I tried to create a secondary email address on Gmail and Outlook.com and they both required me enter a phone number. Ended up using Protonmail instead, which allowed me to register with username and password and nothing else.

His knowledge is solid, sure, but would you really want to work with someone who has such a strong inclination to cheat and deceive? I certainly wouldn't.

I strongly doubt that they were able to shrink Darwin/iOS down to the Cortex M0+ that the AirPods have. I would love to be proven wrong, though.

If you think this is weird, what about the "shake to undo" thing? :-) Seriously, try to e.g. delete an email from the system's mail app, then vigorously shake your phone in anger. A popup asking you to "Undo delete"

I was under the impression that they were going to decommission the EdgeRouter line as more and more features get added to their UniFi line. (I have both and my EdgeRouter X feels definitely in “maintenance mode”).

I have a late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro and I've been using High Sierra since the GM release and I haven't seen any of those problems. No visual artefacts in Xcode, either.

That only applies for location access. Even then, you'll see an arrow in the status bar and there's a page in the settings that lets you see which applications are actually accessing your location in the background, and how often.

I don't think privacy can be measured by counting the number of lines of code that are open source. A device can be perfectly respectful of your privacy despite being closed and proprietary. The only difference (IMO) between open and c

iOS is different in a subtle way: once you grant an application permission to use location/microphone, it will show a banner if a background app is using it. Once you grant e.g. permission to access the microphone to an Android app,

If you have an all-SSD Mac, the file-system will get converted during the upgrade. I think you still have the option to choose HFS+ when you perform a clean install. Anyway: I installed the GM with an HFS+ boot volume that would fail an `fs

Are you sure that's true? I have an app on my phone that I last built and installed more than a month ago and it's working just fine.
