Literally just finished a huge re-write of an angular 4 app to latest Angualr 7 today, to revise the UI and improve everything. As I was about to merge it in I see this... time to upgrade!

I also re-read this several times trying to make sense of it. I kept looking for a early 1900's date somewhere I must have missed...

If you want to use Amazon Key (what this article is about) then I think the only lock you can use is this specific one. Any other keyless lock system won't work from Amazon deliveries like this (at least as far as I can tell)

I haven't used Sublime in years now, but that was one huge feature I think about and miss often when in VSCode. I'm glad VSCode does have the current implementation of multiple cursors, and the way Sublime did it differently is subtle, but man it makes a huge difference!

I'm on an iPhone 6, before 3D touch was introduced. Usually a long press is equivalent, but not here apparently. I just cannot get to this setting.

This assumes there are Linux users that actually want to use the Edge browser though

I believe this is an issue with car audio/USB players, not iPhones in particular. I might be mistaken though.

I recently deleted all my iTunes music since I listen to everything on Spotify or my podcast app (Downcast) now. I also updated to the iOS 11 public beta. Around the same time my car stopped playing anything via the USB cable, the car just said "no song" so I assumed it was an issue with the beta.

Literally yesterday I read about this "fix", so i re-downloaded the Music app and put just one song on it... yep it works!

Car players apparently assume you will only ever play music from the "default" library/app so when you connect it and it sees an empty library index, it assumes nothing can ever be played and just stops you there.

Very dumb.

You can invert the screen colors.

System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, look under "Accessibility" for "invert colors"

You can also assign this to a hotkey to quickly toggle it on/off.

If you're going to install a 2nd OS on your Mac for gaming purposes (where you want as much performance as possible) you might as well just dual boot it with BootCamp.

I've not used this before, but it sounds like it's fast, but you'll still have the overhead of running 2 OS's at the same time.

I remember seeing my dad drive his brand new BMW 5 series with a beautiful widescreen display in the dash. The screen has a little shelf under it, so it was the perfect place to set his iPhone with the directions he actually wanted to follow. The built in GPS essentially provided the same directions, but the UX of the phone apps and the audible directions are just so much better.

Except now those people who would normally be drivers now get zero dollars from Uber. I do agree with you that this is the way for the future and I'm all behind it, however doing this does cut out jobs (eventually) for a lot of drivers. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and I suspect there will always be at least some human drivers. I live in a small town and I really couldn't see them justifying the cost of this here. Where I live there's currently one 1 or 2 uber drivers anyway, and they aren't always active and I just have to call the regular taxi company.
