Adblockers exist on iOS since like forever. You even have a dedicated tab for them in the Settings.

I personally use Ghostery to kick CMP and Vinegar to play YT videos in the built-in HTML5 player.

The fact that you can’t solve any real life electro-magnetism problem without them kinda put an end to that complex shaming nonsense.

Yet there are still people to miss the absolute poetry of their story.

In 1545, an Italian genius called Gerolamo Cardano was pissed he couldn’t solve square root of negative number.

« Fine! I’ll make it myself » he said, before sending everyone to hell.

He then invented an imaginary number i whose square would be -1.

It wasn’t until centuries later that another famous genius named Leonhard Euler found a practical use of those numbers.

Without those numbers we would still be living like 1800´s peons.

It really is a risky bet to make.

I doubt full price RTX 4080 SUPER upgrade will worth it over a discounted regular RTX 4080.

SUPER upgrades never crossed the +10%

I’d rather wait for the Ti version

I also heard about a gnome that might hold the secret to find it. He stand in line with us but he doesn’t cook.

If only there was another open source web engine, like some kind of kit to develop a web browser, with privacy in mind.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just daydreaming.

It has been patched in Safari Technology Preview 173. We are currently running 181.

Apple released security patches for iOS 15 and iOS 16 yesterday besides iOS 17.1

I'm pretty sure it has been solved already.

I fucking love Dr Angela Collier

It’s really good news to see her here.

EDIT: Oh boy I did so many typos on this one...

There’s no way to answer that question without knowing what you want to do with your laptop.

If you want anything but gaming, go for a Mac, especially if you are a musician (every Mac comes with GarageBand, is silent and has crazy battery life). You’ll also find the iWork suite installed for office work. No hidden cost.

For photo editing, built-in Photos app gives a good alternative to Lightroom.

For more advanced stuff you can also buy Affinity Photos or Pixelmator Pro, which are great alternatives to Photoshop, without the cost and the weight on the system

Little built-in apps like Reminders and Notes can be life-changer if you’re in GTD stuff.

The feature that impressed me the most back in the day was preview. Select any file and press the space bar. You’ll get instant preview (whatever the file is) without launching an app.

If you want to game, it depends on the games you play.

I thought it was Mel Gibson in Brave Heart.

Of course we forget how it works.

The whole point of the documentation is to help remembering.

Is the SOB trying to burn the planet down or what? That's criminal. I wish those POS could be held accountable for the dangerous ideas they push.
