Nonsense. Adobe had a flash to ios system ready to go to allow all flash apps to run, and Jobs deliberately blocked it from working, leading to the eventual death of flash. Jobs was one of the main bastards behind screwing over engineer&#x2

I can send the same mms from Android to Android and Apple recipients and they receive the same media. Yet sending from Apple to both the Apple users get good quality and Android Apple deliberately sends pixelated rubbish.

Because Apple deliberately screws with messages to non Apple users. Every video my family sends to me is low res heavily pixelated trash, to the point that you can't even recognise faces.

How is this not an abuse of market power where the Google controlled app store allows other browsers to be banned for reasons that their own browser would never be automatically banned for? If Windows automatically started blocking access t

So, the magic mouse is fine to use if you don't use it as a mouse...? I can't decide which is more appropriate, "Think different" or "you're holding it wrong"

this already happens with Excel and access. Entire companies rely on a spreadsheet some wizard invented years ago and now no one knows how to change it, and it goes weird if multiple users try to access it at once so make sure you copy it l

Incognito literally means to have your real identity hidden. It seems deceptive for a company to name/market a product as 'incognito' when it is literally funnneling data to them that identifies you and links to you real iden

I was most surprised by Australia Post, after reporting a weird login issue during the start of Covid when everything was going to shit. It was took a couple of weeks before they got to it, but I received a couple of phone calls from the sa

Excel isn't the only MS product with US date insanity. Outlook set up for AU region only supports date filtering in searches using US date formats, which is the icing on the turd sandwich of date searching as Outlook requires you to ha

Better idea would be mass cloning badges and flood checking in at multiple sites (it's amazing what unhappy engineers can build, especially if they are experience in aerials of remote access). Forced them to spend money researching a b

Most accounts with passwords have the fail-safe method of 'prove my identity to company, they reset'. I.e if you can't remember your bank password, there are paths for the bank to reset for you. Anything that Google controls

I'll pay Google when they start weeding out the utter garbage that is uploaded targeting kids. Things like frozen characters getting tired up and thrown in water, or their clay stomachs getting cut open. YouTube happily suggests these

Are there stats on performance differences? Anecdotally, I find that blocking ads and associated garbage massively improves page loading, and FF performs fine even with hundreds of tabs open

Compared to say 10 years ago, now days devel environments are made up of stacks of modules that you have to hand configure. 10 years ago a LAMP server involved hopping on a Ubuntu server, paste in an apt command from a website and off you g

Tech people have an unhealthy obsession with trying to create tech to replace non-tech jobs, without any care as to the impacts on society. Chat and image AI generation is just another example of tech screwing over other people.

It's called a pantograph. There is a carbon strip on the top of the pantograph that is typically replaced every couple of months as it wears. The overhead wire isn't wire like you normally see, it's more like a thick copper b
