I understand what you are saying. I used to type the code in or paste it line by line. I was told that was like watching paint dry by other viewers. By pasting it in and then reviewing it line by line or block by block, I want to show what the code is and why it's there.

There should be references to Microsoft's documentation on binding at the end of the module. Microsoft has detailed documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/data-binding

The reason for the default fonts is that in the framework, there is code that attempts to load those fonts. If the fonts are not included, MAUI will default the system font.

Hi and thank you. How you handle authentication will depend in part on what you are using for authentication. Microsoft has an article posted https://learn.microsoft.com...

Re: Deepcool CG560 / AK620 Build – Noctua D15 Battle!

Why was the single fan Noctua NH-D15S used as a comparison instead of the Noctua NH-D15?

Re: Google is starting to block GApps on 'uncertified' devices, but you can register an exemption for ROMs

Chris Miller — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 14:37:25 -0000

Does anyone know if this is limited to Android P or if this will affect new builds of older versions of Android?

Re: Google blocking uncertified devices from using ‘GApps,’ but custom ROMs can be whitelisted

Chris Miller — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 14:32:41 -0000

Does only affect Android P or will updated firmware for older versions of Android have the same problem?

Re: Get an Amazon Echo Dot for just £24.99 if you are a Sonos user

Chris Miller — Wed, 25 Oct 2017 12:12:10 -0000

That offer is no longer valid. Amazon gave Sonos a limited number of discount codes and they were all sent out by Sonos. This was told to me by Sonos Sales.

Not to nit pick, but the brightness rating for the Samsung Galaxy S8+ should be identical to the Samsung Galaxy S8.

Re: Apple caught in bidding war over sole iPhone display chipmaker

Chris Miller — Tue, 27 May 2014 16:39:35 -0000

The name of the division is "Renesas SP Driver". They make the LCD display chip. Not to be confused with display drivers, which would be the software that Apple wrote to drive the chip.

Re: 2014 Minivan Comparison Test

Chris Miller — Wed, 07 May 2014 17:50:29 -0000

The Odyssey platform has been redesigned twice since the model that you owned. I had an '07 EX-L and put 85K on before trading it in for '14 EX-L. I had zero problems with it.

If you look at the customer complaints sent to the NHTSA (http://www.edmunds.com/auto..., 2nd Gen (and Acura models with the same drive train) had serious issues with the transmission. And they were fixed in the 3rd Odyssey that came out in 2005.

I empathize with you for the drivetrain issues that you had a decade ago. The problem you had was real and wide spread. It was also addressed in the platform change in 2005.

If you can't get comparable trim levels, then you wait until you can get the right vehicles. Anything else is just sloppy work. This is the first review that I have read from your site and it will probably be the last if this is how you do one. You have to ask yourself, which is more important; doing the review now or doing it later with vehicles that were more or less comparable?

Re: Google Glass smells bad

Chris Miller — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:17:57 -0000

There are some really good use cases for Google Glass, like a surgeon accessing information in the middle of a procedure. But to walk all day with around with one? I wonder if anyone high up at Google is able to understand the message that having the 1% pay $1500 to beta test a product and at the same time making everyone around them aware of what they could drop $1500 on.

Re: Run an Android Emulator in OS X from Xamarin in Parallels

Looking forward to seeing how to connect to Genymotion. I can connect from Windows to an AVD on my Macbook, but it doesn't work with Genymotion. Something needs to map the ports on the virtualbox emulator through the putty tunnel

Re: Dear Google, what happened to the direct download links for iOS apps?

Chris Miller — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:16:00 -0000

I was wondering about that the other day. Type "WhatsApp iPhone" into Bing, and the iTunes URL is the second hit.

Re: Google Fiber puts the ISPs to shame

Chris Miller — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 10:36:28 -0000

I'm not sure how it works in Kansas City, but it will be a little harder for Google to cherry pick broadband + cable roll outs in other states. In New York, they can offer internet access anywhere, but to do CATV, they need to sign franchise agreements for each town or city. Those agreements will have mandated schedules for deployment, when they do a town, they will have to offer service to each household that is on a street with a minimum population density. The NYS PSC has a minimum of 20 households per mile, but towns can negotiate lower densities.

I was able to get FiOS broadband for about 4 years before they could offer FiOS TV. I would imagine that Verizon is stretched pretty thing now to meet fiber deployments for the existing franchise agreements. It would be cool to see Google wire up a few more cities, but it takes a lot resources to run fiber across multiple towns at the same time. Right, my town is just one of the few towns in this area that has a choice for cable and broadband Internet.

In my town, TWC made the decision not to compete with VZ FiOS on broadband speed and TV quality. For a few months, I would watch the FiOS truck wire up houses in my neighborhood. And then a week later, a TWC truck would pull up and terminate the cable at the street.

Re: Nokia Lumia 920 for AT&T hands-on: a Windows Phone 8 flagship with PureView imaging and LTE (video)

Unless they don't have the CDMA version ready. Then going with AT&T first is more of a PR thing than anything else.

Chris Miller — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:44:00 -0000

I was really hoping to see this on Verizon Wireless next month. Giving the #2 carrier an exclusive on the flagship phone is a really poor business decision. By the time VZW gets the 920, HTC would have had the opportunity to sell their own flagship WP8 device on VZW.
