Apple is definitely not the worst in this regard, but the most recent version of iOS to support the iPad 3rd generation (the device we are discussing which is being used as a PDF reader) is iOS 9.3.5 (a security/bugfix release on Augus

I use an iPhone, and my Messages app is using 72GB at the moment (and it would be a lot more if I hadn’t lost all my history about 5 years ago). The issue is that extended family members send a lot of media (mostly family photos / vide

Flights seemed to be one of the use cases they talked about being an amazing immersive experience even though you’re physically confined to a (usually) small seat. What about it didn’t work?

Am I wrong in thinking that checkboxes/tickboxes/whatever-one-calls-them are ubiquitously understandable across cultures from both an interpretation and interaction perspective? If so, it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve made this

Worth noting that these won’t work with the usual garden variety USB-C hubs sporting USB-A ports; instead, you need to use an adapter as opposed to a hub[0] - maybe because of power issues? Source: I have a SuperDrive and have experienced t

What I do is buy a smart TV, never connect it to the network (thus making it a dumb TV), and plug an Apple TV (or other devices) into it. So far, this has worked - I haven't seen any ads from the TV itself (the apps running on the Appl

Penn & Teller did an episode years ago where they tried to debunk the claim that there was any difference between tap and bottled water. They colluded with a New York City restaurant where the waiters told customers that the restaurant

They tackled the subject for sure, but my takeaway from that blog posting is not that storing your TOTP tokens in 1Password is “as good as” having separate hardware devices for password storage management and TOTP management, but rather tha

Where I live (New York), plumbers, carpenters, electricians and other contractors absolutely expect to be tipped. I’m not originally from the US, but I don’t get the impression that this is a new practice.

When you install Rectangle, it has an option to mimic Spectacle’s keyboard shortcuts (if I recall correctly) which I thought was a really thoughtful touch.

AT&T 4 lines (2 adults 2 kids) x $40 each + taxes = ~$200 per month, $2400 per year. This is unlimited data, text, minutes - we used to have a data cap, but the worry about the kids exceeding it when out and about was not worth the savi

Didn’t know this - true as of MySQL 8.X. I would say “shocking” if it wasn’t in keeping with a number of dubious decisions made over the years. We are using MySQL, but thankfully are generating UUIDs in our app layer. Kludgy, non-cryptograp

This sort of thing is not limited to Chevy/GM. The new 2023 BMW i7 (starting price ~$120K, fully loaded ~$160K) comes with options for a massive fold-down widescreen cinema in the back seat, and the back seat can turn into a recliner f

Does anyone else have an undismissable ad obscuring a significant portion of the screen on mobile, making reading the text very irritating if not borderline impossible? It’s worse when you increase font size, as I often do. iOS 16.4.1(a) on

Yes, but as a designer/developer, it would be useful to know if there’s a CSS/HTML/Javascript solution when your target audience includes a significant number of iOS users who will use the default browser on their device, nam

By default, clicking the power/side button 5 (not 10) times starts a countdown to dial emergency services. If you don’t cancel the countdown, it calls emergency services for you. Either way, biometric unlock is disabled until you re-en

We use RQ[0], it has Redis as a dependency. It’s pretty straightforward and we’re very happy with it. If you are using Django you may want to look at Django RQ[1] as well. RQ has built in scheduling capabilities these days, but historically

I do not live or work in SV, but it's kind of interesting to me that this comment has no responses. Is that because what the parent states as being true is not actually the case, or is there some other reason why there are no responses

This is staggering to me for a different reason. Having a single tree cut down (and removed, which I guess they didn’t do) in our neighborhood costs in the vicinity of $4000-$10,000.
