Apple will no longer fix the $17,000 gold Apple Watch
The big luxury watch brands will service their watches for many decades; a Rolex will last a lifetime, if not longer.

You are probably right, but the more they keeping pushing me to use Edge, the more I don’t want to use it. My experience of it is mostly negative, as a hindrance that gets in my way with its constant nagging, and having to disable it.

Do you buy DRM-free books?
Reply in thread
Please be careful with your wording. Calibre does not remove DRM. Calibre does support plugins, and as it is a totally open source application, these plugins include third party ones for which the Calibre developers have no responsibility. One of these third party plugins will remove most types of ebook DRM.

As a programmer, I have made a career from being one step ahead, thanks to Google. I don’t bother with formal training courses anymore, when a quick skim of Google gives me what I need much quicker. Text books? I have not bought one in decades.

Given that the bug was raised well over two years ago, it does not seem likely that Apple will fix it anytime soon.
Maybe it is one of the reasons that the Voyager developers are working on a native IOS version?

There are different types of average, median being one of them. What you are thinking of as the average, is probably the mean. Median, mean and mode are all types of average.

The plastic lawn backlash: why people are pulling up their fetid fake grass
Reply in thread
Imagine having to try and clean off a runny dog turd that is slowly sinking into your plastic lawn. You can blast it with a hose and turn it into a pool of dog shit slurry; if the lawn is on slope you can try to encourage it to slurp downhill.
