Is that true? Many other comments in this thread are saying Apple Silicon has something like 30% better efficiency/battery life.

There are enough keys there, just configure some to your liking. That’s a software problem.

Your reply is unrelated to the article which discusses measuring CO2 in order to gauge pathogen transmission risk.

Thanks for that tip!

Unfortunately, it's still bad. It's a bit better than dragging the handles of the selected area, but if I go to far and want to reduce the selected area, it doesn't work anymore.

I can agree to that, KDE is very good. Sadly my hardware has some persistent issues on Linux.

Also, while ScreenTime on MacOS is very unpolished, at least it exists. I do not think something similar exists for Linux or KDE.

Apple actually finally managed to allow 0 minutes as a time limit. Screen Time really needs to be finished by Apple, with a few more features, like more allowing certain apps at certain times (not just disallowing one set of apps at a certain time).

It also works in Safari, don’t have to use firefox focus.

They also said something about analyzing blood flow for the gesture, I think.

Apple support recently told me to kill all other apps to make the Files app work. It was taking ages to download and save data.

I don’t think that has changed.

They don’t emulate, they have a reimplementation of Windows APIs. And in some cases, a better one.

I haven’t tried debugging with lldb in some time so I don’t know whether it has improved significantly, but couldn’t the 9% also include that?

Zstd isn’t a product. Facebook isn’t getting anything out of anybody using it. So it isn’t a product.

What he probably meant is that Command+C is copy, etc.

You can’t easily do that because every Linux program expects different things. The hack to make it work is to switch keyboard configs when you switch the application, I think. It’s far from ideal.

This webpage crashed my iPad 6 Gen Safari when repeatedly scrolling down without reading (iPadOS 16.1.1). It’s probably just too little memory, but still, isn’t this just a blog post?

I thin Apple should have rejected all versions of the Spotify app. It’s atrocious.

I don’t think that’s idiotic. There is no standard way of transferring a file from on device to another. That is a failing of the tech industry.
