As an Apple developer and iPhone user since the 3S, these issues are baked into the OS. That you haven't experienced them speaks to your particular usage. Editing and selecting text has been a longstanding problem with improvements and

I don't mean to discount what you're experiencing. The article you linked to would set off alarm bells with anyone familiar with scientific publications, or even an undergraduate level of physics education. It's more like a b

To be fair, Model Y's don't really look like pre-EV sedans. They depart significantly in shape and style: lack of grille for air intake, low drag coefficient, vastly increased cargo space, flush door handles, glass roof, incredibl

This is not the case. WhatsApp is only prevalent outside the United States and doesn't compare to iMessage in terms of features, privacy, security, long-term storage of messages and media, etc.

On the contrary, I'd argue a web client is important for a number of reasons. Many apps, such as Instagram, aren't properly supported on iPadOS. In this case, a web client neatly solves various usability, window management, and ac

While not specific to DisplayPort, I've been really impressed with the AV Access 8K KVM Switch [1]. 4K at 120Hz without chroma subsampling was a hard requirement. I use it with macOS Ventura and a Windows 11 desktop. It works nicely in

I didn't quite grasp there was anything other than central air until recently in life (approaching 40). It's been the same everywhere I've traveled and lived across the US. I recall my grandmother's house having a gas fl

On a positive note, the UX continues to improve, especially with the latest update. I've only used Apple Music briefly since it just came out, but it seems similar to Spotify. I love that the music controls are now in a dedicated min

This is a great article. The author breaks down key advancements in AI--from Nvidia's release of CUDA in 2006, deep learning using CNNs in 2012, followed by recent language translation models and their shortcomings. The coverage of tra

Exactly the same here. I write Ruby for a living and use 'unless' where it makes sense or fits with existing code. That said, when reading code, I often have to pause and mentally translate "unless" to "if not"

Agreed. On a related note, I use these smart bulb dimmers all over the house: https://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/StandAloneContro... They work beautifully with Hue bulbs and HomeKit, as well as offli

Unfortunately, while I loved and used ThinkPads for many years, the lack of a 4k or similar hi-DPI screen immediately makes this a non-starter. As does the pitifully poor brightness and color coverage. I’ve never understood how developers c

Same for the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The Saturn V is truly jaw-dropping to see in person, especially as you round the corner and see the gargantuan engines fill your view. The rocket is hung from the ceiling h

That's sad but understandable. The night sky where I grew up is but a fraction of what was visible as a child. Take a trip outside of well-lit areas if possible. See https://www.darksky.org/ to find a truly "dark&

Respectfully, this comment solidifies why iMessage is superior. Try sending a 4K HDR video, or low-quality video, files, or photos with a resolution greater than a Nokia phone from 10 years ago, or a multitude of other things over SMS. Sign

You're not doing anything wrong. I have a 65" LG C9. And nearly everyone at my company has an LG TV. I've never seen or heard anyone mention ads. My parents have used the same TV for several years. When used with inputs such

Most people know that hot air rises. It's helpful to think of airflow in terms of energy (temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of air molecules). Hotter air has more energy and thus will naturally "flow" tow

Absolutely. I've had my Model Y for about 1.5 years (14,500 miles). Recently, I've had to replace the rear tires due to slow pressure loss. Supporting 5,000 pounds certainly increases wear and tear; alas, they don't come chea

Teslas most certainly read speed limit signs. They have for years now. My stock Model Y purchased in January 2021 had the feature built-in. With FSD beta, turning off a major highway onto my neighborhood street (very narrow and no lane mark
