LTSC can be purchased individually legally. But it is indeed expensive.

Luckily, there are also all those shady eBay “key resellers”. (They are all cracked of course, but they also work, so it’s worth it.)

Is there really a difference between key resellers and just cracking it? You don't have a license for it either way.

Switching saved passwords (with the built in password managers) between Firefox, Chrome and Safari is a pain.

I remember that in order to get my passwords from Chrome to Firefox on macOS, I needed to install a virtual machine with Windows, and log in to Chrome and Firefox there.

I am mostly surprised this is still ongoing... isn’t it going for around 10 years already?

SCO took even longer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO%E2%80%93Linux_disputes . It stops only when one side can no longer pay the lawyers :/.

WeWork is not “tech IPO” though.

Whilst I acknowledge the technical correctness of your remark, in practice and for most intents and purposes, WeWork is being considered as a tech IPO

In Vietnam, they vary in quality so much as to make the brand meaningless.

There are good ones and terrible ones.

The business model doesn’t seem to make sense to me either.

I’m wishing there was a search engine that was not filled with ads that does not suck.

And don’t give me duckduckgo, that one regularly ranks spam domains and typo domains higher than the real results

I won’t cry for TripAdvisor and Expedia, their websites were awful.

Booking Group websites (booking.com and agoda) are still doing great in 2019 as the article states, because they don’t suck

Personally I find booking .com and related sites to be so aggressive and downright manipulative (“40 people are viewing this right now!” “Your dates are super popular, 70% of hotels in this city are sold out!” Showing 5 hotels that are sold out first in order to make you feel desperate to find and book anything!) that I hate using it even though they often have the best prices. So I will do my hotel searches elsewhere and the only go to booking .com once I’ve already made a decision, to check it they have a lower price. See also agoda, trip .com, etc

I hate those manipulative sites. We should give more attention to browser extensions that clear and remove those things. ManipulativeBlock.

"No Stress Booking - Chrome Web Store

Hides all the red alerts and stressful messages from your favourite booking site"

Really? Even with all of this crap? https://ro-che.info/articles/2017-09-17-booking-com-manipula...

Maybe I'm kidding myself but I just tune that all out. In the end I read some reviews, look at what we have (and pictures), and check the price. I've generally had good results which is why I still use them.

But Booking.com does suck!

They manipulate you by showing only positive reviews.

When they ask you for a review, they ask you what you liked about the stay, and what you didn't like.

Then they just show the positive stuff to people.

I've booked on booking.com a handful of times, and every times the reviews were either just wrong, or misleading.

What’s better than TripAdvisor for finding sights and experiences?

Very much not a rhetorical question.

Buy a guidebook on Amazon. It’s worth it before a significant trip and saves time compared to sifting through dreck on the Web.

But if you’re in town for business and you happen to have a few extra minutes and you think “hey, what is there to see around here,” TripAdvisor works well enough.

Yelp, Google, Facebook, Foursquare, are all alive and well, as is a lot of local journalism. Subreddits about specific cities also hit well sometimes.

Now if i could just aggregate all their results into one listing per event/location.

Almost like...TripAdvisor

The Google Maps app.

Rick Steves.

and spamming users with ads left and right, Google style, too

Hmm. In Chromium Edge, my new default browser, AFAIK the UO plugin will still work perfectly unlike in Chrome, meaning I rarely if ever see any ads.

The closest thing to an ad in VSCode or for that matter Terminal would be .. I guess hints at ease of Azure cloud services? Never found it intrusive myself, and I do AWS.

It's hard to understand your message, but... ads in VSCode? Is that a thing now?

I was kind of trying to say I haven't seen any ads, just non-intrusive integration with other MS services, in response to the ads reply I got. Sorry that was actually rather vague and roundabout.

You can use VSCodium, it's a fork of VSCode without Microsoft's telemetry.

So it’s all the guy’s fault for the problem and AT&T has no fault? Could it be they both made a mistake?

How to notarize a binary if one does not have macOS? I used to have a cross-platform build on Docker for macOS, I wonder how would I do it now.

You do not notarize. Apple does. You submit the app to Apple for them to notarize. Pretty sure you don't need a Mac for that.

The tool that's used to submit a binary to Apple only runs on macOS. Short of something like a hackintosh (which is against the macOS license) or maybe Darling, it's not clear how one would do the submission without a mac.

This is a real issue for me, as my open source project is a cross-platform game development tool. It used to be that it was possible for someone to click a button and get Linux, Windows, and Mac distributions - but now the Mac side is proving more and more difficult.

> Pretty sure you don't need a Mac for that.

Maybe you do, I can't find any way besides using Xcode, either on the GUI or using "altool", which comes with it.

Indeed the only instructions rely on Xcode tools. That sucks.

I’m pretty sure you do.
