I contacted Amazon support and after 30 minutes of investigating, I was told that force-enabling the feature in the future is explicitly their plan:

“I would like to inform you that this feature has not launch yet and In this case please wait till that time its launch and then you can disable that feature, once it…

The Facebook Portal is actually $79, $50 off list - you can see the final price right in the screenshot next to the Prime Day Deal flag. Amazon’s UI is confusing, but the discount is a lot more than $9.01. Should probably rethink this rant:

As a gardening enthusiast and apartment dweller with one of these who likes it a lot, many of the complaints here seem like a uniquely studio apartment New Yorker problem. For example, the devices coming in large shipping boxes won’t be an issue for most people who would have them shipped to their doorstep. Similarly,…

For an iPhone user with portable accessories that charge over Micro USB, like Anker Bluetooth headphones, it actually makes a lot of sense.

One of the two options they’re offering actually supports USB-C as well.

This will actually be really valuable for some folks. Right now, I know some people - particularly in the cash-based service industry - who have poor credit and are unable to regularly shop online without using gift cards. They often don’t even trust banks enough to have a checking account, but even if they do, they…

I think it’s important to include as context that for years, Linus Torvalds worked on Linux while employed by an Intel competitor called Transmeta. So he’s seen processor design from the inside, and it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that he has strong opinions and is speaking freely about Intel’s handling of this…

This actually isn’t true in most smartphones. It’s possible for the phone to draw dramatically more current than the charger can supply, so it needs the battery as a backup reservoir of power to draw from in those situations to avoid random shut offs. Activating the camera pipeline would be one likely way to trigger…

It’s not that simple. USB-C PD can push dramatically more power over a cable than older USB standards, making them potentially much more hazardous. Even brands you probably trust of cable and charger can be a problem, and the fact that you can only trust gear that’s on some Google employee’s personal spreadsheet…

It’s a crying shame you couldn’t get an entry from HP in time for the review, because the Spectre x360 is actually the correct answer to the “best under $1000” question. Fantastic design and build quality, 7th gen Core i7, USB-C and classic USB together, great keyboard and touchpad, convertible if you care but stable…

The explanation is probably very simple, here: when someone allows Facebook access to their phone’s contact list (phone book), the numbers are uploaded and used as part of the discovery algorithm. This is usually the mechanism for how Facebook ends up recommending someone outside your friend network: someone you went…

That’s exactly what Stockholm’s Tunnelbana system has done. Some of the exposed rock in the stations is truly spectacular. (And the system runs incredibly well, too - the Swedes outsourced the whole thing to Hong Kong’s MTR Corporation, arguably the most competent subway operators in the world.)

Yup, it basically sounds like the situation can be summed up as Univision believing they don’t even own those posts, because in accounting terms they are a liability that belongs to old Gawker. Which is a completely reasonable interpretation in an acquisition.

That’s, unfortunately, a promotion only available on Horizon Airlines-operated regional flights on their Q400 turboprops. But on Alaska mainline, they still have Alaskan Amber and Seattle microdistillery spirits available for purchase at reasonable prices.

Definitely the best network carrier in the US right now by a…

Suggesting that Target’s deal is better than Best Buy’s on the Apple TV because a store credit card offers a discount is... stretching things more than a little.

Not only is the Echo not based on a button, Uber isn’t a service that allows you to choose your car/driver - you simply issue a request and you are matched with any random driver who accepts it.

Have you ever used either product?
