It was offered much later than iPlayer was for the UK, but to claim they 'never' had an option for US audiences is false when they have had Britbox for almost 10 years

Viewing the fee as being for a volume of storage doesn't seem the right perspective. It's $1500 to lease some %age of spectrum for some period. If true Teletext on an analogue signal and broadcast vs cable, then $1500 for 0.05% of the total non-media spectrum doesn't feel like a terrible deal.

$1500 today is probably in the region of 10s of GB, sure, but that's almost a commodity volume by comparison in terms of supply.

Could you elaborate on your workflow? Which tool do you start in (presumably it's a sequential flow?)? When is it that you go across the tools?

I'm not sure I see the benefit of this over PowerToys beyond system-wide indexing for file search (which I'd want in Explorer, not a separate launcher app). Let alone the premium tiers.

- AI? What's the benefit beyond agents in more domain-specific environments (or gen-purpose site) vs native to a launcher app?

- Custom window management is available with PowerToys

- Unlimited clipboard history - I'm not sure I want or need this over PowerToys retaining it for system uptime.

- (Free?) Extension library looks a step beyond what's currently available for PowerToys' Command Palette, but will Raycast gain more Windows-focused extensions faster than Command Palette does?

Competition is good, but I don't see how this adds value as a premium service beyond PowerToys

I'm rooting for it to have a great run at the BAFTAs (which - if maybe in part due to some British bias - feels like the gaming award of highest renown due to its proximity to the film and TV counterparts, even if _The Game Awards_ generally get more fanfare).

I think GOTY is probably a tough call against Astro Bot, but there are a lot of categories it could do well in, and even the volume of nominations it's received I think is really impressive and a great achievement for a solo effort.

I don't think it's a safe assumption that gig workers are typically choosing gig work over full-time contracted employment, but rather choosing gig work over unemployment/benefits.

Well it depends on how Microsoft's accountants manage the maths:

Hypothetically, if MS + Activision - UK > MS + UK - Activision (assuming it's only blocked in UK), it's plausible that Microsoft withdraws from UK to pursue its business with the merger everywhere else. The UK is a decent sized market, but it's far from the biggest.

I'm someone who has used and paid for Notion for several years at this point.

What I would say is that it's very versatile. It has almost Atlassian Jira levels of features (and arguably of bloat), and it's possible to reasonably organise a lot of thoughts/knowledge/tasks in a wide range of ways.

I think the reason why it's so popular and oft lauded is because the range of capability allows people to really engineer workflows and processes that work for them and that without the prompts of the examples that Notion and its community provide they may not otherwise arrive at.

So for me I'd probably say that the product itself is fairly good. It's far from flawless (e.g., it uses Electron), but does a solid job of a wide range of things. The killer differentiator against its competitors, however, is the library of templates and example projects - this initially was produced by Notion itself but then the community really grew, shared its own interpretations, and _productivity content creators_ really latched onto it as a good conduit for communicating workflows, processes, and systems for working/getting tasks done.

I'm really keen to dive into this however as someone knee deep in the ecosystem it's baffling that it doesn't have proper native integration with Apple TV/HomePod. You can Airplay with your phone as the source, but not with the receiving device being the source (which is typically a nicer and more reliable approach as some phone applications can interrupt the streamed audio).

For me the actual dark pattern in pricing is when prices remain fixed but quantity/volume really reduces. It's subtle on the aisle, but if you use online shopping it's blatant when the product you usually order is no longer available and it suggests an item that is identical in terms of the product it is and price, but has a glaring reduction in weight.

Seems a strange omission not to evaluate the ProRAW capture. I can understand having the rankings being in the typical/regular mode (as competitors may not have comparable modes), but surely there's value into evaluating what the enhancement offered by the top-quality mode offers?

It's a bit like evaluating the drive characteristics of a sports car but not once taking it out of comfort mode.

I think the swiping back on new tab feature is a very well thought out piece of UX.

If a user taps a link that is set to open in a new window/tab, while the bottom/top (depending on user config) URL bar does animate to show the transition, the user may still expect to be able to navigate back to where they came from (especially in such a case where they haven't deliberately made the decision to open in a new tab).

I'd argue it would be worse UX for the back swipe to not navigate to the previous page in such circumstances than that it does but closes the tab (which is reasonably signalled by the URL bar animation).

I'd expect there is significantly more software effort in adding the ability to lock them behind a subscription than actually implementing the toggle to turn them on/adjust the intensity.

I’m not sure which keybinds you have enabled (possibly through VS Studio style?), but in PyCharm/Rider for me (IDEA keybinds) both completions and Copilot use tab to complete, which as the user you replied to has said, tends to get in the way and trip me up as often as the relevant suggestions provide something of benefit.

It will be interesting if LMG can pull off what Linus is aiming for with the massive investment in a laboratory environment. There are huge parts of the tech market where the most critical reviewing you can find is anecdotal accounts of if the reviewer liked a product or not (or the more clinical reviews are drowned out by the anecdotal noise).

They already have integrated it in a pretty reasonable way. The only thing that's missing is some of the alternative views for the hourly forecast, it's possibly a feature that wasn't as widely used (or as accurate as temp/conditions/precipitation) but as someone who burns easily, I do miss having e.g. hourly UVI forecasts.

Even with RMR though, he's pretty much moved away from the OP-1 videos, I can't recall the video where he explained why 100%, but I think he found it a bit creatively constraining.

System and/or development processes

It's a strange shift and one I've fallen into the trap of. Discord requires kernel extensions for screen sharing and requires the reduced security toggle as a result. I've gladly used screen sharing in the past with presumably the same mechanisms, and not thought twice about it.

Yet for some reason I'm hesitant to reduce the security of my main personal machine, even if that 'reduction' results in a consistent level of security with my old 2015 x64 MacBook. The reality is that I probably need to go and determine if there are a greater volume of more prevalent kernel level exploits to figure out what the factor of risk really is - it may be that these features are exploited more regularly and to greater effect than they were in 2015.

In terms of business risks, I believe Jetbrains are based in Czechia, so while there is risk for their founders, I'm not sure there's any business risk (whether Russian retribution or international sanctions) for JetBrains itself.

I'm a new driver (~6 months) who used to cycle a lot in the past (I stopped due to one ride where there two collisions involving cyclists and cars and a further severe car-car collision all in the space of about an hour), but I've always overlooked considering the door zone for oncoming cyclists on narrow roads.

Thanks for your comment, it's highlighted to me a shortcoming of my driving that I'd never properly considered - and I don't expect I'm alone. I've watched lots of YouTube videos by driving instructors looking at footage of their students and compilations of dashcams and haven't once seen such a simple and obvious thing highlighted, which is probably a little worrying.

The other issue with offsetting is that it's an easy trick to wash over any increases in carbon output. Outputs increased by 50% in a year? Just offset more. The aim should be to minimize output as much as possible, rather than brushing it under the rug of questionable offsetting.

Thanks, I'm getting a 'please disable your ad blocker' when I don't even use one

The Hill isn't relevant at all. Every headline and the body all use 'Graphik', not Inter.

Just to correct this point for anyone who doesn't follow the sport like the author:

> This F1 fansite claims that cars can get to around 110 km/h (~70 mph) climbing this thing, which we very much did not achieve.

The fansite link is stating that cars will brake to approach the sharp left-hander of turn 1 at 110km/h (~70mph) (site claims 85km/h on the apex), they'll do well in excess of that on the run up (300km/h+ on a flying lap or still comfortably beyond 200km/h from a standing start).

With that out of the way it looks a great way of using a racetrack when cars aren't going around it, and I'll have to see if there's anything similar in the UK as a lot of racetracks will often have very pleasant surrounds and similarly undulating elevations for a bit of a challenge. (Brands Hatch strikes me as having a lot of potential for a particularly pleasant ride)

To add a contrasting anecdote for balance, the only issue I've had with B&W headphones (I've had P5, PX, and now have PX7) is that the arm of my PX snapped - probably in part due to how I'd cram them into my backpack and that I got them early in the product life when they shipped with a quilted fabric soft case.

Despite it probably being as much an issue as my care as the product packaging, B&W replaced them rapidly without complaint and I've had no issues since.

Also the carbon composite construction of the PX7s is one of the best I've seen. I tried a pair of AirPods Pro which felt premium but were so uncomfortable due to the weight and design causing huge pressure on the contact points with my head. PX7s feel very solid but don't have the weight penalty to go with it.

I think iTunes is effectively legacy at this point in favour of the web app (music.apple.com), which works far better (except for lack of offline downloads) and supports windows multimedia keys.

You can install any chrome extension from the chrome store in Edge, you just click the usual 'add to chrome' button and Edge will install it.

Regarding this, I strongly believe the correct approach is L3 capability but only expressed through L2 features.

We're not at a point where it's safe for drivers to move their attention from driving, but the technology is mature enough that it can and should intervene wherever possible to avoid collisions and other incidents.

The expectation that drivers can divert their attention from driving to perform other tasks on the expectation that they can resume control at short notice is extremely misguided. This should not prevent similar sensor and software tech that could enable L3 autonomy from enabling more effective accident avoidance technology that intervenes in situations where the driver may drive in a careless or dangerous way.
