Their Hue bulbs are particularly high quality as light bulbs go, and their motion sensors are one of the PIR & Zigbee best in class available (a big thing being their short trigger CD).

It's separately a reasonable upgrade path for people becoming increasingly familiar with smart home tech, smart bulbs are a particularly easy entry point with clear added value with new features (white temperature is a personal favourite) and battery operated motion sensors, with a clear path to further home automation adoption with Home Assistant.

ES6 Classes 8 years ago

I've used Autobind a great deal as of recent with React classes, it's been both pleasant to use and I've yet to experience any issues with it.

Do Argos' have showrooms or open floors? My experience, 10 years back, was limited to a looking through a catalogue, punching in a barcode into their stock checking device, and waiting for our number to appear on the screen in the waiting area after having paid.

Our services have just become available again, initial downtime starting at 20:25 GMT, uptime returning at 20:56 GMT

EDIT: App Engine and Kubernetes environments in our EU region appeared to go down, Compute Engine was okay.

My understanding is that Chrome emulates viewports and little more, it doesn't support different rendering engines and such.

You should use it to understand what various mobile devices might look like, great for prototyping, but it doesn't replace physical or truly virtualised devices ( as a service / VMs ) for testing.

Could you recommend modem / router equivalents ( whichever applies to replacing ISP supplied equivalent, I'm assuming both? ) at a few different price brackets?

Ubiquiti gear appears to be quite dear, alternatively are they worth the expense? Are there any benchmarks etc which demonstrate this, or further reading?

I've experienced similar with the first BDM40, it dropping the DP1.2 support and needing to open up the OSD to revert back to DP1.1 and again to DP2.2 to resolve, in addition to extreme ghosting.

Please update if you do end up investing in a new replacement, the LG especially.

I jumped on the Philips BMD40 train immediately at launch for £600 a few years back, the ghosting is an absolute nightmare.

A huge boon for productivity having come from multiple 27" 1440p monitors before, and the BDM40 is something I might recommend for somebody looking to get in and get in cheap.

I'll definitely be splurging for something better next time however.

I'm not familiar with Electron myself, however it's relatively easy to identify which applications are using it.

I know Discord doesn't support using a keybind for push-to-talk whilst the (Chrome) tab is not in focus with their web application whilst their Electron app supports this. Something vital to PTT users whilst playing games.

Would the previous license have become relevant if Facebook initiated a patent lawsuit against you?

Even being on the back-foot when having to defend your patents, by refactoring React out of your application, was apparently damning enough for people to migrate.

Samsung did this with the Note 3, and I suspect other flagships around this time.

The rear-facing camera would default to their 'Auto' mode, switch to the front-facing and you have to switch out of something like 'Beauty' mode with tons of post-processing for selfies.

Used to use Atlassian's SourceTree, major slowdowns and lack of a native merge conflict resolution tool had us pleasantly surprised when we first heard of GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/

A year later after discovering Kraken, we've now migrated to it and the developer experience has been great.

144Hz monitors do produce a very noticeable difference for gaming if you can rival the refresh rate with in-game FPS, outside of gaming I've only found it noticeable when moving windows about.

For productivity I'd go for the 40" 2160p over a lower resolution higher refresh panel.
