This behavior (as far as I can tell) has broken the Expensify iOS app for us at work. We have a conditional access policy that requires a “compliant” device to succeed the SSO login. However, only the iOS Edge browser can prove compliance a

I’m right there with you. I have 35 years of Windows experience — 20 as an IT professional — and I just gave up on Windows in my personal life a few days ago and installed Linux. I’ve dabbled in the past with old machines running Linux or d

We’ve been looking for something like this for our conference room. A PC presenting on a large TV, but mirrored/AirPlayed on iPads for anyone that wanted a version closer to their face.

I’m autofilling usernames and passwords from 1Password’s browser extension probably 100+ times per workday. Are you manually copying and pasting anywhere near that amount? I think I would be miserable with that setup for anything beyond ver

What do you find vague about the studied effects of smoking or asbestos? Or did you mistype and mean “unlike” instead of “not unlike”?

I’m not saying you’re making the wrong move, but if you’re willing to go with a carrier like ATT, you can get $1000 trade-in value for that iPhone 13 Pro towards a new iPhone 16 Pro. You can even just buy an unlocked iPhone 12 off of eBay

I just came from chicagotribune.com where they tried to entice me with a Flash Sale of one year’s access for a total of $1. Sounds great, but I took advantage of it a year or so back and regretted it due to how annoying they were with adver

I believed for years that my good friend’s dad’s name was Aba and even called him that once before I realized later that it’s the Hebrew word for father. I had been having complex thoughts for years at that point so it was a bit embarrassin

It’s called “Intune” / sorry, “Microsoft Endpoint Manager” is a way better name / just kidding, it’s “Intune” again! We had you there for a second though!

Regarding Google search results, could some explain to me what it is that appears after the first few sections of results and the format changes to something else entirely? When I run the search on my iPhone for “baseball”, I get a few scr

I manage our company’s Windows machines and I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. In years past, you’d be pestered to reboot until you finally acquiesced and now Microsoft thinks they can get away with updating everything on t

I think this is only an issue with the models that end in ‘e’ if I’m not mistaken. They’re pushing it hard, but if you know to look you can find the same model without these absurd restrictions. For example, the HP LaserJet M209dwe (d=duple

I genuinely wasn’t sure whether psychoacoustician was a cheeky synonym for audiophile or not. :). I looked it up and, sure enough, psychoacoustics is a legitimate field of study.

That’s astonishing. I clearly don’t have any type of intuition for the amount of earth these mines are extracting, because the number you’re putting out there seems comical.

We’ve been using it for years and it’s always been irritating in the way you describe. It seems if you miss the first push notification, you’ll receive a flurry more, many of which don’t really seem to do anything even if you do approve the

Not exactly the same, but theverge.com has recently decided to shove about 50 Outbrain ads, across 3-4 loads, in between the end of the article and the comment section. It makes me livid every time, yet still I go back :(.

I don’t know if you’re joking or not, and I say this as someone who uses Edge as their primary browser, but Edge does not improve the situation you describe. Edge is just a flavor of chromium at this point and absolutely gives Chrome a run

Are you speaking as an employee or a customer? I just checked my password db for a few Citibank accounts and all of them were far longer than 8 characters.

Is there an actual bug here? It's much nicer than before in my opinion. It actually remembers whether your Bluetooth radio was On or Off when last in Airplane Mode and that's a new feature of iOS 11 as far as I'm aware. I
