Three finger drag. That was the best and unique thing about apple touchpads since, like, early 2000s, but then it was buried deep down the menus and forgotten for some reason. But seriously - try it, you might never go back.

Settings - privacy - location services - system services - compass calibration. Make sure it’s enabled. In a bout of paranoia I disabled location for everything I didn’t recognize as necessary and then it took me many months to find out why compass cone behaves funny in mapping apps.

Anecdotal evidence: timezone-aware precision might be only necessary for those pushing it to very edge of the allowances, but travel log spreadsheet was very very real for me, and everyone else in my own immigrant bubble. I still have it somewhere.

UK officials seem to operate on vibes though, not obsessive precision - I witnessed missed presence days being successfully propped up with a good sob story, but I can imagine it still being useful if you need to appeal a case where vibe turned against you.

Then was a short rest between making oath and Brexit, and here we are at that shit again - spreadsheet is back, and there's a script for Schengen rolling days.

No need for notifications even, you can literally hear latency varying up to 30 seconds by listening for cheers during important game in a block of flats on a warm summer night.

Any chance I could be contacted too please? username at gmail.

I used to find my niche in contracting for banks always actively seeking the opposite of “greenfield” projects (usually to the utter surprise of recruitment agents) but this market has not been the same in the UK recently.

I'm your typical Whatsapp on iPhone user from Europe who's here just for a good drama, but blimey if this guy's rhetoric isn't sooo repetitive and cringey now.

Like, my dude, it was an impressive technical hack, and you really pulled the tiger's whiskers when you went to prod with it, but dressing it in politics and greater mission and "freedom" with bald eagles and shit? Meh.

I'm getting somewhat noticeable (once every few weeks) phishing attempts on Telegram and Instagram, less frequent on WhatsApp. On Instagram they sit unobtrusively in "requests" and disappear after some time, in Telegram and Whatsapp they do pop up and have to be deleted.

I was always curious if Airpods are any better in this regard. Have they implemented some better bi-directional profile there?

Uptake of updates is, uptake of devices isn’t. Here I have 1st gen retina iPad from 2012 which is on the latest iOS available for it - 9.3.5 (from 2016, current version is 17.1.2). As of today FaceTime and iMessage still work perfectly fine.

That and reading the books is actually about the only thing it can do right now.

It's a pun (a wordplay). Garum is fish sauce widely associated with ancient Rome and Greece.

Looks like UK (any non-US perhaps?) model still has it.

That goes for any "unconventional" outdoor sports really (i.e. anything that's not footy or horses). North is always up for crazy random shit, but good luck explaining paddleboarding or mountainbiking to someone in Cambridgeshire.

Linguistic sources say that svet/svit/light/sunrise/world and videt/see/meet have completely different proto-indo-european roots - kweyt and weyd respectively.

So nice theory, but no. “Svid” is not a root here, it’s “s”+”vid”.

It would look like lots of new devices NOT shipping in 2022 with micro USB (and even mini USB!) and HDMI and barrel power connectors. But unfortunately they still do.

And once again this article ignores the fact that biggest threat to Bialetti's own sales are not other ways to brew, but clones. Simplicity of the design means copies are just as good. I once bought 2cup pot in Aldi for only 4 euros because Airbnb where I stayed only had huge 12 cup version and it was just me drinking coffee. I simply left it there when I moved out.

Which is actually another problem - they don't work very well when partially loaded. So you can't own only one if you ever have guests and don't want to do multiple runs.
