I don't understand why AM doesn't use iCloud to store playlists. You have the storage anyway and a good chunk of people pay for an additional increase too.

I have the base level M2 Air and it’s anything but a basic browsing machine.

Runs everything I throw at it development wise, while a good few other things are open and it has never felt slow. Compare that to any Windows laptops with the same spec and it would be chugging along with just Chrome open.

Having the same issues. Both my droplets and multiple sites hosted on their App platform have all gone down.

Edit: Just as I posted that everything came back online.

PhpBB 3 years ago

I still run a couple of fairly popular forums which I setup coming on nearly 15 years ago now. All powered by phpBB and recently Flarum was used for the latest site.

There's still demand there for smaller communities and while some members have dropped off over the years it's still the most popular way to keep in touch with the latest happenings, none of the other social networks really took any of the traffic away.

I'd love to see more spring up - for me there's always more of a community feel, you get to know the regulars and everyone is there for that specific topic.

It's a little clunky these days but it's still a great piece of forum software.

I've had this issue too. My iPad pro is generally within 4 foot of an airtag which is attached to my keys. During the day I don't see any real battery drain however during the night it seems to be draining the battery at an accelerated rate.

I'd wake up and check it within the battery info section to see Find My using 90%+ of the battery over the last 24hrs.

I now have a shortcut setup to disable bluetooth on the iPad from midnight > 7am. Find my usage drops all the way down to <2% and battery drain is very minimal - if I leave bluetooth on overnight it jumps all the way back up and drains approx 40-60% of the battery overnight.

But even then most DSLRs are at least 20MP+ giving enough wiggle room to crop/manipulate the image and still have a high enough resolution to display on 4K devices.

I don't think it will be an issue for a good while yet and by that time I'm sure new bodies will come out to take advantage of it.

Or you just mishandle your devices. Never had a case/screen protector or anything on every device I've ever owned and they're all still spotless (my iphone 6 is 2 years old and I still get comments regarding how new it looks).

Look after the device and don't go throwing it around.

The "best digital camera" is the one you can afford. That said unless you're a true enthusiast spending £3-5k on a top end body it's pretty pointless, might as well go for something along with the 70D or d7100/7200.

Depends on the position. The pit crew are made up of car mechanics and more senior technical/critical roles.

You'll never find a role advertised for a 'wheel changer', instead you'll need to work your way into the company as a mechanic and then move onto the race team if you're suitable.

If you have the experience then take a look on their company site, for example McLaren have various roles open:

Unless the creator released the figures nobody will know however it must be bringing in enough money to keep him interested.

Personally if you're using the software to make money then dropping a one off payment of $70 is nothing in the long term.

2 years > 3 years > 1 year > 1.5 years > 1 year

Just started a new job last week too, some cases its been that I haven't enjoyed the agency others its nothing more than the new company offering something better.

Pen: Uni Pin fine line. 0.1mm is my go to for general day to day use, anything over 0.5mm tends to be too thick for writing.

Pad: whitelines black oceans (Lined) is really nice to write in.

Get out of London ASAP. £32k a year is a respectable wage and you'll find it goes a long way once you move further north (I'm on a very similar wage and live in Leeds)

First thing is you need that roof over your head, if possible clear those arrears as a priority - moving will become more difficult if you leave with debt as no agency or landlord will touch you and it will damage your credit rating for years.

Previous company I was at had a small server setup to run a few automated tasks every morning. It must have been running for at least 10 years before a new employee asked where it was physically located.

They eventually found it covered in dust in a small utility closest. None of the fans were working either (other than the CPU/PSU) yet it still chugged along doing its job.

The password is the one you tell them on initial setup of the account, they'll ask you for a memorable word to verify that it's the account holder they're talking to.

This isn't anything to do with account logins etc. No different than companies asking you to verify your DOB and address to prove who you are.
