Because product page doesn't include VAT. But once you login the VAT is applied on the prices.
hmage··on Alarming number of DNS requests made by iOS devices
iOS offers a slideover view that gets dismissed once absence of captive portal is detected. That way you can’t redirect people forcibly to your website after auth is done in a way that persists.

But if you force people to use a browser rather than auto disappearing modal view, the bounce rate is much lower once you force them to visit your website after captive portal login.

hmage··on Hey Siri: An On-Device DNN-Powered Voice Trigger for Apple’s Personal Assistant
If you're doing more than one interaction, you can just hold the home button to activate Siri for followups. And you don't need to prefix 'hey siri' if you're activating Siri via home button or screen button.

I've seen so many people prefix 'Hey siri' when they don't really need to:

Holds home, Siri activates "Hey Siri, how's the weather?"

If could just be "How's the weather?" In that instance.

Don't confuse storage and sharing.

You still have full resolution originals without any recompression in iCloud Photo Library.

That actually made me think -- is there such location?

hmage··on Ngrok: Secure tunnels to localhost
Man you'll be floored when you'll learn that 90% of people going online never have a "real IP". Servers see the IP of the NAT's most of the time. ngrok doesn't require an outside-accessible IP.
hmage··on Avoid Non-Microsoft Antivirus Software
> Recent versions of macOS default to only allowing apps from the App Store.

That's incorrect, with the introduction of Gatekeeper the default setting for it was to allow only signed apps — all app store apps are signed, but developer can sign apps outside of app store. The default setting didn't change since then.

Most antivirus suites have that, for example Kaspersky:

>> Furthermore, it’s easy to control file downloads and you can even block the transfer of private data – such as phone and credit card numbers.

hmage··on Little Snitch 3 – Protect your privacy
Not to be biased, but personal 9 years of experience tell me that if a program has a landing page "oh yeah, and for linux and mac too", it looks shit on mac.

hmage··on Intel x86 considered harmful – survey of attacks against x86 over last 10 years
Yes yes, everyone should move to MCST Elbrus :D
hmage··on The life and death of a laptop battery
You do know that keeping your li-ion battery plugged 24/7 is best way to kill it, right?

Do a full battery cycle at least once a month and you won't prevent the catastrophe.

Source: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_li...

Storing a battery at 40 degrees C at 100% charge will degrade it by 35% after a year. Drop that to 25 degrees C and it'll be degraded by only 20% after a year. If it was stored at 40% charge instead of 100% charge that drops to only 4% degradation after a year.

Do you honestly think you can carry USB and SSD to China without border officers confiscating it?
hmage··on HTTP/2 technology demo
That means your internet is fast enough to reduce latency problem that HTTP/2 fixes.

This algorithm won't work on music without kick drums while it still has beat.
hmage··on Introducing GIFV
To all of you here asking 'why not webm?' consider this -- gfycat serves both webm and h264, I'm pretty sure imgur will add that in future, so no big deal. As for support, most of you are sitting on Chrome already, so you won't have any troubles playing h264.

Cheers.

Yeap, YV12 colourspace doesn't really like sharp pixel-perfect colours.
