  1. I spoke about a phone feature where calls you receive but don't have saved in your phone should be able to come up with their contact from Google Business (Mechanics etc) and BAM it came out a few months later.
    I also talked to friends about creating a proxy for email images so all images are downloaded and spammers know they don't know which images were downloaded by real emails and BAM it came out a few months later.

    I guess that's not really the point but a valid one none the less.

    Glad your back up!! Side comment. Not sure if you will see this but I'd like to see how many points a comment has attracted. Was it straight up to +5 or were there people with different views modding down (and vice versa). Any way that would ever happen?

    I agree with everything you said besides being short (whatever that is precisely). Sometimes a good comment will be a solid 4-5 line paragraph. But maybe I should fix the code instead that needs that long of a comment.

    "Comments are lies waiting to happen". Just be mindful that a comment could become deceitful and learn what the purpose of comments are. What makes a good/bad comment. I suppose the same could be said of once well thought out variable names.

    Mine was on the sharp touchscreen EL-9650.

  15. I was talking about a proxy for images to a few people so spammers could not know if images were downloaded by active email addresses. Few months later google did it. Same thing happened when I was discussing my phone auto looking up business numbers etc when they call that are not saved on your phone (think mechanic etc).

  16. How about AMP for email. https://m.slashdot.org/story/3...

    why have an article like this with no clear links to the repo? Is it a legal reason?

  25. Re: Oh good more news on the new MBP on New MacBook Pros Max Out At 16GB RAM Due To Battery Life Concerns (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Everyone had high hopes for a serious upgrade in this MBP. Can you imagine if it had 32GB of ram, gb Ethernet port, usb3 Port/s, bigger battery, kept the magnet charger and they said we made the brave decision of a slightly thicker laptop to accommodate it all. That would be brave and everyone like me who gave up waiting and bought the xps 15 would have laptop envy. Heck I'd consider selling my xps to buy a unit like that from Apple. I'd give them a bravery award for dropping the 15" range and brining back the 17" range in the MBP line.
