I can’t do the most basic of tasks on Apple Music on my Windows PC - I literally can’t play music! I’ve tried: - redownloading the app - deleting all local state in the Music folder - logging out of my account, and logging back in - deautho

TP Link Omada works surprisingly well too.

And not true - for example, format shifting in the UK is illegal. You can't legally rip a CD, DVD or Bluray here, let alone a console game.

And in contrast, I find Intel support to be very buggy, certainly on Linux.

Sadly not available in the UK - I'd quite happily take that as an option :/

I wish Ian Hislop would drop his opposition to doing a sensible online version - I'd happily subscribe for access to the same content posted online, but when I get it posted through my door I find I don't read it.

I like a style like: codebase section: short summary longer description if necessary eg: cocoaui: fix images being incorrectly aligned on high dpi displays We were calculating the position of the image in logical pixels, but not converting

Laptops have advantages though - for a remote team, they're often a lot more convenient. A lot of people don't have space for a full permanent desk setup for a work desktop on top of their personal use - UK houses aren't huge

These are fair points, and definitely a rough spot. Eg at work we use M1/M2 macs and dev on those using docker - so that’s a Linux VM essentially with some nice tooling wrapped around it. We certainly see differences - mostly around pe

Being Mac only can be an advantage - I’ve been on both sides of trying to maintain & use non-trivial dev environments and the more OSes you bring in for people to work on, the harder it gets. Bringing in Windows or Linux has a set up co

I have a 35W AMD 5750GE (zen 3, 8c16t), along with M1, M1 Max and M2 Pro devices - the AMD processor and M1/M2 chips trade blows depending on workload. It’s absolutely possible to get x86_64 to the same power/performance envelope

Yeah - this is what happened to me too. I deleted my Reddit account because I don't want to support Reddit any longer, so I lose access to anything I used "Sign in with Reddit" for - it's subtle lock in that tends to onl

This! Adobe used to bundle Chrome by default with Acrobat Reader for instance. - this was how a LOT of people got Chrome the first time.

I remember getting this jump accidentally - I bought a M1 Mac Mini for porting stuff too and for testing, and building on it was twice as fast as my 2018 15" i7. And it was silent doing it. Pity it was only the 8GB base spec, because i

The huge list of projects from that era of Apple really shows how aimless they were. I remember at the time how more and more irrelevant they seemed compared to the Wintel behemoth, and that really didn’t start to turn around until the G3 i

At work, the m1/m2 airs are exactly what we buy for most employees. The base spec is absolutely fine for most of our staff, and they’ll get 3+ years out of them. Edit: devs get 32G pros though, and we loathe the extra RAM pricing on th

My UK based ISP provides static IPs by default (v4 & v6!). There's a few aiming at smaller niches that do. We're relatively unique compared to a lot of countries though, where we have an infrastructure provider that serves bas

Only 5 entries this time, so I favour poisoned data, personally. edit: it always shows random stuff every time this one comes up!

No, I have my own /32, /28, and /29 of IPv4, along with a /48 of IPv6 :) Definitely dedicated just to me.

This site is actually pretty useless imo - I have a static IP, I've had it for years , and I'm the only user of the IP. It shows me as recently torrenting a ton of content that I've never even heard of, and definitely haven&

I’ve always had a big preference for RouterOS over SwOS - I think it’s a lot more flexible. I do like the Mikrotik switches though (and their kit in general) - affordable, decent feature set, reasonable performance. edit: they’re not flawle

I did handwave it a bit, yes :) What concerns me more than anything with a process like LiteFS is the 'unknown unknowns' perspective of what can go wrong - whereas I think MySQL and Postgres have generally more understood failure

Their shipping/fulfilment is utterly terrible. Their shipping is exceptionally expensive for the size & weight they’re shipping, and allows for no selection of courier. Niche audio companies (eg Schiit) do this infinitely better!
