  • Google is finally adding a speedometer to Google Maps on iPhone

    h.dasmithh.dasmith
    At 30mph (13.4m/s) the current GPS error should be such that it’s more accurate than a car’s speedo which is affected by simple things like tyre pressure and is normally set too low to protect the manufacturer with various country laws whereby a speedometer cannot read high, only low. 

    Yes, at running speed, you’re not travelling fast enough so you’ll get errors, but there’s a reason that when doing speed tests, they use GPS systems.

  • OneDrive 14.2 review: Professional cloud storage for large files

    h.dasmithh.dasmith
    When sharing lots of documents with lots of people, OneDrive fails miserably. We use it with Teams at work, and it just can't handle the amount of data being modified all the time - it's always trying to sync every file uploaded rather than just those saved to a computer.

  • European Union antitrust chief warns against breaking up Big Tech firms

    Not just that, but the success of a lot of these tools is the integration that comes with being part of a big company. Separate these out, and these tools often become less useful and less desirable.

  • UK, Ireland get Apple Maps Look Around, cycling directions

    h.dasmithh.dasmith
    Extremely disappointed that they haven’t fixed the plane guidance problems for the UK! Basically, here most junctions come off the left hand lane, but apple maps shows an additional, none existent lane, that becomes the off-ramp. Very rarely do they show the off-ramp arrow off the side of the left hand lane. I was really hoping they’d have sorted this out with their own maps!

  • Apple previews iMac Pro, the most powerful Mac ever built, coming in December

    Do we think the keyboard shown in the sneak preview is real? It *looked* like a wireless keyboard with a full number pad, but maybe the cable was just excluded from the photo for aesthetic reasons. If it's a space grey wireless with number pad, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
    Already ordered one, arriving Wednesday (UK)! I was hoping it would have the touch bar, but as my old wireless keyboard seems to be failing, this looks like the best bet until they do integrate a touch bar.
