Flatten Gaza, nuke Tehran, bulldoze the Dome of the Rock. They only understand overwhelming force and then mewl when it hits back at them 1000 times harder. They can’t kill again if they’re dead.

It was easy to do but charges very very slow. Sometimes not at all and it just makes the case very warm.

Re: Apple Patent Could Bring True Tone Display to Apple Watch by Measuring Ambient Light Through Skin

shokk — Thu, 29 Sep 2016 13:59:38 -0000

Given that you already have an iOS device that could be actively adjusting its TrueTone display, wouldn't it be wise for the devices to start sharing that info to be prepared for when the display turns on? Like the watch will already know what the ambient light is and prepare to present the screen at that adjustment when you flick your wrist to see the time.

Yes, I had iOS 10 too. What I didn't have was patience. It mysteriously showed up on its own about 12 hrs later even though I had not rebooted.

I don't see it. I have an iPhone 6 Plus. Is this a 6S/7 only feature? Why allow me to install the app then?

This isn't a special price. You can pick this up for $20 including a Mini bluetooth iCade controller and headphone jack button from AliExpress any day. Even eBay and Amazon. Just picked that up last week. Works great for all Google Cardboard SBS viewing.

The intended result apparently needs not to be "what Wordpress offers" but "more than what Wordpress offers". A swiss army knife is more complicated than scissors but it is better when you are looking for a screw driver or even something that needs both scissors and a screw driver on the same job.

Re: Drafts Directory: Action: Split Draft at Cursor

Would you have an example of how to do this into 3 drafts say with a tag as the place to divide the docs rather than the cursor?

Given a doc:
Line1
@Tag
Line2
Line3
@Tag
Line4

and it would be split into 3 drafts...

Draft 1:

@Tag

Draft2:

How much does it cost you to do that with Zapier? I feel like Zapier started asking for money almost a week into my RSS feed use for a pretty light integrated feed.

Re: Google Play Music for iOS: a buggy disappointment so far

They still have a way to use it for free, but at this point I've just saved my music out to a hard drive and I'm looking for another service. I already use Plex Premium so I think I may run my own for a while.

Calculator is just a swipe away but you got in the wrong direction. Swipe up from the bottom to bring up the control panel and *gasp!* there's a button for it right there! Have you ever used an iphone before writing iphone articles?!

There are so many legitimate uses for this. Take the time to learn whether your state has single or dual consent laws concerning the recording of phone conversations. There aren't "50 different state laws to overcome." Get educated about it.

This highlights how disconnected all of Google's ecosystem is, which is why parts of it frequently wither off and die.

Re: Attack of the Critics: In Defense of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’

Lol the guy doesn't like physics explained in movies but wants to know how the starkiller base works? The star's power is stored in a micro black hole? A pocket in hyperspace? Who fucking care? How about you use your imagination? Absolutely nothing in the original movies was explained in technical detail. How did the Death Star work? Hyperspace? Lightsabers? A sign of great science fiction is the outlandish technology that is left up to your imagination, which left on its own is stronger than any explanation the writer could give you. This video just stinks of weak argument baiting.

The other half of the video could be explained away by the next film. Just like you didnt get an explanation of what the clone wars were or what the force was that could let a space wizard choke someone from across the room, you can just wait for the next film and maybe see if it resolves your questions - its called a cliffhanger and it's a genuine legitimate story telling technique. Nobody owes you a story wrapped in a neat little bow.

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to explain why that big Android browsing share is not winning global profits. As a hint, it has to do with the fact that most people buying Android are doing so because they want the cheapest handset possible and they want to be able to get for-pay apps for free. Developers will support it less and less when there is no profit to pay their bills. More and more Android apps are being done as an afterthought or only if the kit provides a way of also spitting out an Android version. It is not a winning solution and is only there propped up by Google's need to tie you into their search engine - that is not sustainable.

Heck for the same appliances you still have a question of whether you want to wire it to direct into the house as 3-wire or 4-wire or with a plug.

There are many things however that have collapsed down to just needing a 5V USB source, so we can get rid of the many ugly step down wall warts that just create waste heat.

Not to mention that the subject says "memory" and the body of the message says "hard drive space". Not the same thing and just stunned that even a technical Mac site can't get that straight.

Also if we're lucky, the special effect that makes up Kylo's missing eye will move around like the old black blob on Palpatine's face.

Perhaps it is not too much to suggest that Lando and Leia finally got to explore why she "truly belong here with us among the clouds" giving Finn that required Skywalker heritage.

That all sounds right to me. Harrison Ford was always one for having Han make a graceful exit from the series, not one for playing out the trilogy. Thankful he made it through the end of Jedi, but who knows if he would make it to the end of another trilogy. Same with Carrie and Mark. Instead of risking it, take this one opportunity to make a great moving story to launch the rest of these coming movies. More impetus for the Han Solo standalone movie, since we would get more of the character we love in what would essentially be reboot form. If that ties into the Boba Fett standalone movie (sort of a side-trilogy then? not so standalone) even better.
