I used to use Apple Music but when my Credit Card expired I missed two months payment and Apple happily deleted all of my playlists and library. I don’t think they realise how bad this is, but I will never use it or subscribe ever again.

I don't understand why AM doesn't use iCloud to store playlists. You have the storage anyway and a good chunk of people pay for an additional increase too.

Oh come on, you're overexaggerating a bit. If you follow your pattern with Apple, you'll end up with a measly 8GB/256GB model which will only be useful for basic browsing.

(And with more and more Electron apps, might struggle even with that once you hop onto a video call.)

I have the base level M2 Air and it’s anything but a basic browsing machine.

Runs everything I throw at it development wise, while a good few other things are open and it has never felt slow. Compare that to any Windows laptops with the same spec and it would be chugging along with just Chrome open.

I expect them to ratchet it up eventually and begin threatening Google Accounts for those who use adblockers. They'll just dress it up in Terms of Use or some bullshit, and the Javascript Cold War begins.

Easy solution is to create a new account that's only used for Youtube - or even easier don't login at all.

Having the same issues. Both my droplets and multiple sites hosted on their App platform have all gone down.

Edit: Just as I posted that everything came back online.

I still run a couple of fairly popular forums which I setup coming on nearly 15 years ago now. All powered by phpBB and recently Flarum was used for the latest site.

There's still demand there for smaller communities and while some members have dropped off over the years it's still the most popular way to keep in touch with the latest happenings, none of the other social networks really took any of the traffic away.

I'd love to see more spring up - for me there's always more of a community feel, you get to know the regulars and everyone is there for that specific topic.

It's a little clunky these days but it's still a great piece of forum software.

Perfect! Just noticed they need to update the Firefox extension though as it's not supported just yet.

Without more detail, I find the author's observation hard to accept at face value.

The iPad battery usage being shown doesn't account for just the normal "asleep" battery drain, which, if it's not broken out specifically, could be just misleadingly assigning the Find My usage as the main part of it. (as the only thing that had active functions)

It would be better to show what the battery usage/drain is without any airtags nearby and make sure he/she isn't just measuring the normal sleeping usage and inaccurately saying that Airtags caused it.

I've had this issue too. My iPad pro is generally within 4 foot of an airtag which is attached to my keys. During the day I don't see any real battery drain however during the night it seems to be draining the battery at an accelerated rate.

I'd wake up and check it within the battery info section to see Find My using 90%+ of the battery over the last 24hrs.

I now have a shortcut setup to disable bluetooth on the iPad from midnight > 7am. Find my usage drops all the way down to <2% and battery drain is very minimal - if I leave bluetooth on overnight it jumps all the way back up and drains approx 40-60% of the battery overnight.

Recently I've been using Bulma for pretty much all internal projects. Offers enough flexibility to generate any interface you need. If I need something a little more prettier I'll drop in Material Design Lite (https://getmdl.io) instead.

Anyone have an idea of cost?

lcmatt · 8 years ago
$4 per user however every user on the domain needs to be licensed. (So a company with 300 G Suite users would be $14,400 a year)

Spotify for all my music needs. Found so much new music over the years I'd have never of found without it.

Patreon - spend around £40 a month split between 2 creators at the moment, well worth it as their content is top notch.
