dirtylowprofile··on The Apple iPhone XR Review
I'm an iPhone 8 user and I prefer the size and form on this one. It has better resolution than Xr and it has 3d touch.
dirtylowprofile··on Philippines tops world internet usage index with an average 10 hours a day
I agree. It is just their reputation that Globe broadband still sucks. But their mobile data on my area is top notch.

You forgot to mention Globe’s broadband. Which is way worse.
dirtylowprofile··on Philippines tops world internet usage index with an average 10 hours a day
I’m from Philippines and Facebook is huge here. Very huge and a bit of concerning because telcos (which are a monopoly here) has free mobile data for users and tons of fake news get reposted. Facebook has also been used as a political tool here.
dirtylowprofile··on Want to Stop Fake News? Pay for the Real Thing
Last year I subscribed to both NY Times and Wired. But when I tried to cancel, I was taken into a chat with a NY Times representative. Why is not that easy to unsubscribe with just a click of the button.
dirtylowprofile··on Spectrum – Image transcoding library for Android or iOS
You can just use a Bridging Header
dirtylowprofile··on Tech Choices I Regret at Spectrum
Seems like bad choices and lack of research.
dirtylowprofile··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
I've tried using Notion on iOS and it feels so slow and I know it is not native because swiping back should get me back to the current page but it just refreshed the whole page. Are there plans migrating iOS to a more native one?
dirtylowprofile··on Notion – All-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, wikis, and databases
I’m using iOS default Notes and Things 3. Why should I migrate all my notes and tasks here and pay to sync?

It can’t even cache online

dirtylowprofile··on VLC media player has been downloaded 3 billion times
Their MobileVLCKit is a huge help on our projects too.

Same, I learned Kotlin.
dirtylowprofile··on Ditching the MacBook Pro for a MacBook Air
For the new MacBook Air, I was wondering if anyone has run Xcode in it and the emulator. How was the performance? I am still on MBP 2012 and is still going fine.
dirtylowprofile··on Ask HN: Anyone else find the new Gmail interface sluggish?
I prefer using email clients than using the Gmail on web because of this particular reason. Their web app is painfully slow.
dirtylowprofile··on Ask HN: YouTube down?
YouTube is back. Should be all back to normal.
dirtylowprofile··on Twilio to Acquire Sendgrid
The site is not responsive. I can’t read on my mobile.
dirtylowprofile··on Google Exposed User Data, Feared Repercussions of Disclosing to Public
Yes but is it damn right that they should start in their own backyards.
dirtylowprofile··on Google Exposed User Data, Feared Repercussions of Disclosing to Public
I’m surprised Google’s own Project Zero did not caught this one.
dirtylowprofile··on DEF CON report on vulnerabilities in US election infrastructure [pdf]
During the last 2016 automated elections here in the Philippines, the company responsible for it was Smartmatic and just found out their source code was licensed by Dominion.

Now finding out that Dominion's equipments mentioned here is a little bit worrying. There was also an incident during our elections hours before a voting machine was accessed just because they have to change a single letter. It is still disturbing to this day.

dirtylowprofile··on MacOS Marzipan
Any one experienced the News app not syncing between Mojave and iOS 12?

Narcos real life.
dirtylowprofile··on Ask HN: Do you regret becoming a programmer?
No regrets.
dirtylowprofile··on MacOS 10.14 Mojave Reviewed
On my MBP 2012 on every boot up the screen will flicker and I guess this is just old age and normal? I guess this is the last update on 2012 model.

Also noticed the resolution is a little bit brighter and nicer for an old MBP.

dirtylowprofile··on Android Studio 3.2
I have been using AS since the first beta came out and every release it is just getting worst and slow on 16GB RAM.

While Xcode on the other hand 3-4 years ago it was liked developed by interns. But Xcode 9-10 has been very fast and less buggy on my 16GB.

Developing for Android is not fun anymore for me. It is getting bloated.

dirtylowprofile··on GitLab raises $100M from Iconiq, GV, and Khosla, at $1.1B valuation
I run GitLab on my server and it is just too slow, sometimes I get a 503. I hope they take a look at this asap.
dirtylowprofile··on iOS 12, reviewed
I wonder is dark mode is coming to iOS 12 in later updates because it is awkward to go back and forth with Mojave and iOS.
dirtylowprofile··on Introducing Ghost 2.0
I updated to Ghost 2.0 last night and did not end well, though I managed to fix it by going to a sunken place looking for ghost.service. Hopefully in the next update it would be more stable.

Also, one more thing I would like Ghost to improve is there SEO. My website hosted on DO is just 2-3 pages behind. Some of my posts don't even make it even the obvious meta and title.

dirtylowprofile··on G Suite Horror Story
Thank you for the response guys, I am still halfway reading the comments. I hope this problems gets to the guys at Google, I really wanted to recover my personal Gmail account before Google completely wipes it out from their server.

Right now, I am on @icloud.com and since Apple is easy to migrate from one device to another I believe this is a nice fresh start.

In the future maybe I will try Protonmail but since it requires a "bridge" for paid accounts, maybe I will look into it in the near future.

dirtylowprofile··on GitLab 11.1 released with security dashboards and enhanced code search
I am running GitLab on $5 DigitalOcean droplet but the tradeoff I have to create a Swap file worth 2GB.
dirtylowprofile··on Apple faces class action lawsuit over failing MacBook butterfly keyboards
Typing this comment in my MBP 2012, when did this butterfly keyboard started? On what model?
dirtylowprofile··on A rundown of the new Gmail
You can try Airmail or Edison Mail for iOS. I find it much appealing than Gmail app
