Never heard of any of those companies. Are they ad networks, per chance, or do they have other hustles?

Authy is annoying because, whilst they do use the standard TOTP mechanisms (as supported with Google Authenticator, or 1Password), they use 7 digits instead of the normal 6 and make it hard to get the seed value to use in another app. So it seems t…

It’s probably worthwhile mentioning the country you’re in when replying…? In my case here in the UK in my 1990s property it was easy to fit a couple of EU-sourced Aqara no-neutral light switches (I already had an Aqara hub, for other devices) for tw…

There’s a sentiment in transport, “Why build a bridge? No one is swimming across the gap”, that seems quite appropriate here.

Gonna be a bit awkward for software development teams based in India.

“They have a memory chip that sits on the screen that's programmed” Sure, that’s exactly how memory chips work... and, I get it, the quote has probably come from some simplified report given to some non-tech journalist somewhere and then misreported…

It’s like they don’t remember as far back as the mid ‘00s when companies were still charging for software updates, because “accounting rules” required allocating the development cost to, well, some revenue. Clearly one of the solutions is to fund it…

AppleInsider said: Ashley said in her video that the AirTag supplied her with a partial phone number, which is questionable. "And their phone number -- uh, I mean, the last 4 digits" … Given that AirTag owners select what information to …

Running 276 on mine still, too. But I discovered today that it had stopped reporting for a second time, and the last known location was from 4 days ago. I had to add it back to “Find My”. Yesterday it did its “chirping” noise as it sometimes does …

I’ve got one attached to my bicycle and I’ve had the bleeping “trill” when moving it before, I assume, my phone has connected up to it. I also had the tag completely reset: at first I thought I had dropped it out in the middle of town, as it was sh…

I just want to know what was it about FairPlay, introduced when the iTunes music store began in 2003 or so, that took them until 2015 to decide to sue for patent violation? Or is it another of the bogus patents that espouses an idea wrapped up in i…

A friend reset some of the settings on their phone the other day, whilst trying to solve a separate issue. Turns out Google Maps doesn’t notice that it has lost Location permissions. You have to uninstall and reinstall it to trigger the prompt for t…

The iMac Pro does come with ECC RAM, which makes it deserving of a “pro” label. Anyone serious about their data would benefit from that. (it’s a continuing shame that MacBook Pro do not have an ECC option. Apple shouldn’t be beholden to Intel chips…

Is there any chance of it being available outside the US, or have they sold individual programme rights to hundreds of different distributors?
