Josh Tumath on the new text scaling feature in Chrome Canary:Just like how the <meta name=viewport> tag tells the browser that your website is designed to work for small viewport sizes, the <meta name=text-scale> tells the browser, 'Hey,...
The plot device is an organism with strange adaptations which enable it to consume stars. There is a surprising amount of science involved, but it is delivered so nonchalantly that even if you weren’t interested in any of the geeky bits...
Last time I wrote this out was…2023? I thought things had changed, but it looks like my days of frantic switching have subsided somewhat and this list has largely stayed the same. I’m still using Apple’s horrendous excuses for software...
