Love it when it forgets the Mac apps exist, and launches Maps or Calendar in phone mirroring. I use mirroring a fair bit, but never for anything where I have the Mac app installed.

Ye some of the weirdest issues I've fixed have been PSU related.

I had a PC come to me that would boot fine, but if you opened the CD drive it'd shut off instantly.


Used to repair PCs in the mid 90s. Had guy come in with right mouse button not working suddenly. Replaced mouse. No go. Replaced motherboard, CPU, RAM, reinstalled Windows. No go. Changed the PSU. Right mouse button worked.

Ye, kick off into some higher-level language instead of being at the mercy of your CI provider's plugins.

I use Fastlane extensively on mobile, as it reduces boilerplate and gives enough structure that the inherent risk of depending on a 3rd-party is worth it. If all else fails, it's just Ruby, so can break out of it.

So that in an emergency your escape route can't be blocked. Also having doors swing out into corridors is bad practice as you're more likely to open it into someone walking past.


Yes and inward swinging is a building code requirement in most jurisdictions per the ICC

Good points. Final draft: bathrooms should have full-length saloon / swing doors split down the middle. Now you can push both directions, and the doors won't arc out enough into the hallway to hit someone.


And those stupid stylised "fonts" that create problems for screenreaders by using obscure Unicode characters.


I thought that as we're seeing issues with LON, but their Manchester POP is also down and that didn't have any maintenance this morning.


My guess would be those are going into the rumoured OLED models coming out next year.


You can't put one app on top of another, so that mitigates at least the 1st stage of this kind of attack.


USB4 is supposed to have proper labels: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2602229/better-usb-labels-ar...

I don't know if that necessarily helps though, because I've seen USB3 cables that seemingly have the bandwidth and power capabilities, but won't do video.


And again in 2010, although as far as I'm aware this was just based on speculation and it was never proved that it was intentional, or that the optimisation would have netted the gains the author said: https://web.archive.org/web/20250325144612/https://www.realw...
