The creators of Basecamp introduced a new email service this week, simply dubbed Hey. The subscription-based email service costs $99 per year, and that subscription is what’s now causing a battle between Basecamp and Apple’s App Store review team. Basecamp co-founder and CTO David Heinemeier Hansson took to Twitter this afternoon to detail the situation and offered up more information in an interview with Protocol. The initial 1.0 version of Hey was approved for the App Store, but when Zach Waugh, Basecamp’s lead iOS developer, submitted version 1....

Northern Lights (known in North America as The Golden Compass), the first book from Philip Pullman’s famous His Dark Materials trilogy, was first published way back in 1995 and has since become a classic along with its two following installments, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass.

When I saw that Flic HomeKit-compatible smart buttons were available, I had to take them for a spin. Second-generation Flic smart home buttons now have HomeKit compatibility, along with multi-color LEDs to indicate the status of the device they control.

Note: Keep in mind this method isn’t for everyone, especially the later part where I manually clean entries from the Registry. For this example, I’m uninstalling the Maxthon web browser – not because it isn’t a good browser but because I need to sacrifice an application to the uninstall gods for this article. Revo Uninstaller The “go-to” app I use to uninstall software on Windows is Revo Uninstaller Pro. Revo also offers a free version that includes fewer options but still does a good job of getting rid of extra entries of unwanted software....

The ending of Crisis on Infinite Earths in DC Comics could provide clues as to how the TV version of the story will wrap up in the Arrowverse. The first three installments of the five-part event aired in December 2019, with the last two chapters (Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow) releasing in January. Since the state of the DC Universe is very different from the Arrowverse, there are some obvious differences between the two crossovers; however, so far, Crisis has been a fairly accurate interpretation of the 1985 – 1986 miniseries....
