It was offered much later than iPlayer was for the UK, but to claim they 'never' had an option for US audiences is false when they have had Britbox for almost 10 years

Viewing the fee as being for a volume of storage doesn't seem the right perspective. It's $1500 to lease some %age of spectrum for some period. If true Teletext on an analogue signal and broadcast vs cable, then $1500 for 0.05% of

Could you elaborate on your workflow? Which tool do you start in (presumably it's a sequential flow?)? When is it that you go across the tools?

I'm not sure I see the benefit of this over PowerToys beyond system-wide indexing for file search (which I'd want in Explorer, not a separate launcher app). Let alone the premium tiers. - AI? What's the benefit beyond agents

I'm rooting for it to have a great run at the BAFTAs (which - if maybe in part due to some British bias - feels like the gaming award of highest renown due to its proximity to the film and TV counterparts, even if _The Game Awards_ gen

I don't think it's a safe assumption that gig workers are typically choosing gig work over full-time contracted employment, but rather choosing gig work over unemployment/benefits.

Well it depends on how Microsoft's accountants manage the maths: Hypothetically, if MS + Activision - UK > MS + UK - Activision (assuming it's only blocked in UK), it's plausible that Microsoft withdraws from UK to pursue

I'm someone who has used and paid for Notion for several years at this point. What I would say is that it's very versatile. It has almost Atlassian Jira levels of features (and arguably of bloat), and it's possible to reasona

I'm really keen to dive into this however as someone knee deep in the ecosystem it's baffling that it doesn't have proper native integration with Apple TV/HomePod. You can Airplay with your phone as the source, but not w

For me the actual dark pattern in pricing is when prices remain fixed but quantity/volume really reduces. It's subtle on the aisle, but if you use online shopping it's blatant when the product you usually order is no longer a

Seems a strange omission not to evaluate the ProRAW capture. I can understand having the rankings being in the typical/regular mode (as competitors may not have comparable modes), but surely there's value into evaluating what the

I think the swiping back on new tab feature is a very well thought out piece of UX. If a user taps a link that is set to open in a new window/tab, while the bottom/top (depending on user config) URL bar does animate to show the tr

I'd expect there is significantly more software effort in adding the ability to lock them behind a subscription than actually implementing the toggle to turn them on/adjust the intensity.

I’m not sure which keybinds you have enabled (possibly through VS Studio style?), but in PyCharm/Rider for me (IDEA keybinds) both completions and Copilot use tab to complete, which as the user you replied to has said, tends to get in

It will be interesting if LMG can pull off what Linus is aiming for with the massive investment in a laboratory environment. There are huge parts of the tech market where the most critical reviewing you can find is anecdotal accounts of if

They already have integrated it in a pretty reasonable way. The only thing that's missing is some of the alternative views for the hourly forecast, it's possibly a feature that wasn't as widely used (or as accurate as temp&#x

Even with RMR though, he's pretty much moved away from the OP-1 videos, I can't recall the video where he explained why 100%, but I think he found it a bit creatively constraining.

It's a strange shift and one I've fallen into the trap of. Discord requires kernel extensions for screen sharing and requires the reduced security toggle as a result. I've gladly used screen sharing in the past with presumabl

In terms of business risks, I believe Jetbrains are based in Czechia, so while there is risk for their founders, I'm not sure there's any business risk (whether Russian retribution or international sanctions) for JetBrains itself.

The other issue with offsetting is that it's an easy trick to wash over any increases in carbon output. Outputs increased by 50% in a year? Just offset more. The aim should be to minimize output as much as possible, rather than brushin

To add a contrasting anecdote for balance, the only issue I've had with B&W headphones (I've had P5, PX, and now have PX7) is that the arm of my PX snapped - probably in part due to how I'd cram them into my backpack and

I think iTunes is effectively legacy at this point in favour of the web app (music.apple.com), which works far better (except for lack of offline downloads) and supports windows multimedia keys.
