<p>At the very least, this is needed for iPadOS and macOS, since both have resizable windows.<p>I'm currently working on a responsive app in Swift and had to develop my own responsive layout system. SwiftUI simply isn't up to the task, except for one very specific, generic layout.</p>

<p>I learned about the Pacific Handy Cutter from my local grocer. It's cheap and excellent. It has a dull edge for 95% of tape cutting needs, and a safety guide for when you need to use the blade. Admittedly, it's not useful for slicing up / cutting down boxes.<p>This model is right handed, but they make a lefty too.<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXLNCMM" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXLNCMM</a></p>

<p>Re-licensing music is a two-fold challenge. Sometimes it's much more efficient to use substitute music, instead of negotiating for new rights.<p>First, licensing arrangements for "all marketing channels" only account for the channels that exist at the time. When a new market channel opens up, such as streaming, music labels will require new licensing terms for that channel. If they don't, they might not get paid. (TV & movie studios are just as ruthless as music labels).<p>Second, in turn, the labels often have to get new permission from artists for the new channel. Tracking down all artists can be a challenge and require resources that they can't recoup.</p>

<p>> When can I download my movie onto my Linux laptop and play it through an HDMI cable?<p>Probably because the Linux market is too small to support an iTunes for Linux.<p>By my understanding, the Linux market prefers free, open source, community effort. So essentially the real question is: why aren't you making movies yourself and sharing them free with your Linux peers?</p>

It doesn't last all day like it used to."</p>

<p>Might as well pick it up. I was essentially "forced" to update to get my new XDR display running and I've learned to live with Tahoe.<p>Tahoe is buggier than Sequoia, but Sequoia was rather buggy already. You'll see a lot of new annoyances in Tahoe, but then it will just feel like typically modern Apple software, just with more and more iPhone UI everywhere.<p>The one outstanding benefit is that it will now autocomplete codes sent via text messages, just like iOS.</p>

<p>My iPad is mounted next to my Macs. I use it as a media player, checking deliveries, personal messages when I'm on my work laptop, and such. All of that is done via touch. When I need to flip over to my Mac to do the same thing, I have to use a 40 year old interface (a mouse).<p>It's not hard. I don't think we need to make everything touch-size on Mac. Small icons & buttons are perfectly fine in a production environment, and they're considered to be accessible. Just let us touch the screen.</p>

<p>This reevaluation postulates that the participants didn't deviate by mistake, but deliberately. The participant could have waited for the respondent to be in a state in which they could answer. (Reminder: the exercise was officially about answering questions, not enduring shocks).<p>Instead, most participants rushed through, most likely to end their own negative experience. Which is much more nuanced that "gosh, they told me to do it."</p>
