No, I'd point to those sites that sell stars and laugh in their face.

He's also in the middle of a coast guard series he filmed last year. Pretty interesting stuff.

It varies wildly my TV manufacturer. My parent's smart TV is god-awful to navigate. You have to go into an app to get to the streaming apps...like what?

But my TV has Roku built-in and it's smooth as silk for the most part. Most of the issues I encounter are app-related. Like HBO Max is really clunky, but Netflix is rock-solid.

With the rise in popularity of doing HD remakes, mini-consoles, and just plain re-releases on new platforms, I can't imagine that would go over well with publishers/developers.

Big Sur fortunately addresses the unmount step. It prompts you to unmount/trash the .dmg file when the install finishes.

Titled "5 Reasons you don't need Apache/nginx anymore", filled with misinformation, and a comment section full of people ripping it apart.

Or at least that's been my experience with Medium since I started using it a few months ago.

I don't know why anyone would bother with the first party app when there are a bunch of really nice 3rd party ones with all sorts of additional features. All the one's I've used have been free with premium versions that only cost a few bucks.

Which of course leaves me wondering how long it is before reddit pulls the plug on their API and forces people to use the busted mobile site or their app.

My 1 year old twins have been trying to play with my wife and I's phones since they were old enough to start grabbing stuff. They also make for great little distractions during diaper changes when they'd otherwise try to sit up or flip around. We usually lock the screen before we let them play with the phones, but occasionally I'll let them swipe and tap around just to see what they can figure out.

You're getting downvoted, but you raise a good point. There's an interesting Medium article[1] on it. Basically just a keyboard with an 4 line LCD above it so you can see some context as you type.

Looks like MTMR supports it as well, but I didn't have any luck getting it to work. HapticKey is working great though. For as good a job as Apple did with making the iPhone's button and the touchpad feel really responsive, I'm amazed they didn't bother doing the same with the touchbar.

I'd actually never encountered the "Take photo" option before. That's pretty nifty.

My MBP 2019 only has 2 prongs, which I found very odd.

The touchbar is super useless unless you install something like MTMR[1] to customize it. The downside of course is that you need to be comfortable with some code to modify it outside of any pre-defined profiles. But even then I don't find myself using it much.

Also while Mac's aren't meant for gaming, when I do game I find the touchbar to be a poor replacement for the F keys. I play WoW and have F1-F5 bound to certain abilities and having zero tactile feedback during something as fast-paced as combat is frustrating.

Additionally, totally agree with the webcam complaint. I don't use it very often, but I was definitely expecting more from it when I first used it. A $2k laptop should have a better camera than my ~$600 laptop from a few years ago.

All that being said, I do also agree with the praise-worthy part of the post. I've really enjoyed how intertwined my iPhone and Mac experience are. Being able to effortlessly take/make calls and texts from my laptop without having to install an app on the phone or waste a bunch of time configuring things is really wonderful.

The speakers are also wonderful and the laptop itself runs surprisingly silently, even under high-load.

If anyone's curious, there's a shortlist of "official" TLDs to use for local development https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2606#section-2

I could've swore .local was okay, as that's what I use. But maybe not. Apparently it can cause issues with Macs, but that's new to me seeing as how I primarily develop on one.

Low self-esteem

U.S.Aid

No thanks!

And then it will either die in the Senate or somehow pass unanimously with the exception of Rand Paul.

I see one factual thing presented in a neutral way and a bunch of transphobic bullshit. And the factual thing is essentially "Google this", which contributes nothing.

Also it's good luck to throw a pinch of salt over your shoulder, so any backwards shots you take is +3 to luck

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 has been my go-to for a while now. Even lets you export your settings so you can import them on additional computers.

>MY favorite times would be at night and manually adjusting the AM reception and picking up stations from all over the world. Trying to discern their location based on the commercials.

I recently got into this as a hobby! Bought a cheap portable shortwave radio and every night this week I've sat outside or near the window to see how far away I could pick stuff up from. So far I've confirmed broadcasts from Romania, South Korea, Cuba, and a few across the US. It's usually just preachers or state propaganda, but just the hunt for new stations is half the fun!

FWIW, DownloadThemAll works fine on current Firefox. I used it a few weeks back to grab a bunch of SNES roms from an open directory without issue. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/

What you're describing is just inconvenient. With iOS you literally cannot downgrade very far at all. For example, they stopped signing everything older than iOS 13.0 when 13.1.1 released. You've got a very narrow window of opportunity to downgrade and the options are few.

Definitely an arms race. There's already a solution for if YouTube injects ads directly into the videos -- https://sponsor.ajay.app/ it works for skipping ads inserted by the creators, at least.

Dunk? What you've done is stood on the other end of the court, holding the ball and said "I can dunk this ball" then left the court.

If you've got some counterpoints or arguments, please give them. Going "lol php bad" is just dumb.

It is pretty great for browser-based chat and email. Don't think I've ever allowed it for anything else.

I check it a few times throughout the day, but idk if it can really be compared to reddit anymore. There aren't any discussions, so it's basically just a more focused manual Google News.

Heads up for anyone that uses Vagrant, don't do this because not all vagrantboxes support Hyper-V.

Blackhat SEO methods from 5+ years ago may not work anymore, but it's a cat/mouse game, so there are certainly modern methods that work like a charm until Google catches up again.

It's like adblocking. 5+ years ago it was generally enough to target HTML elements with an ID of "advertising-wrapper" or something obvious like that. But ad networks and the sites that implement them got smart and started using generic or randomized IDs so that would work. Then the new method was blocking known advertising domains. Now some of them are starting to serve ads from the same domain you access the site through.
