Maybe not what you were looking for, but some FAQs[0] were released by Apple today. I found them here [1].

You have been able to move the task bar to left/right screen edges for years. If your task bar is not locked, just click and drag it to the window edges.

A feature to Left align the buttons has been shown in the leaked builds.

Be wary of the possible dry mouth side-effect. As far as my experiences go the feeling of dry mouth is due to reduced saliva production, and just drinking water will not solve the issue. Too little saliva lowers your oral health and as a result can accelerate tooth decay (among other things).

For the hardcore players you can switch teams while playing for optimal tactics.

You can also iterate between Space + Up + W keys to boost your jumps.

I'm not a designer but I found a few things to be a bit off on the "One last thing..." page:

- Title is not centred [1]

- Bullet points look like checkboxes which is misleading since you can only select one [1]

- List of roles is not sorted in any meaningful way [1]

- Words are unevenly spaced inside SHOW MY SCORE [2]

- SHOW MY SCORE is slightly off centre inside the button [2]

- Another small nitpick, choice of colours, or perhaps it is the shadow, of the title makes my eyes think the text is a bit blurry. See top in [1]

> “It charges so fast it’s basically a super capacitor,” Nicol claimed. “It charges an iPhone coin cell in less than 10 seconds.”

Are iPhone batteries considered coin cells? Isn't a coin cell like the ones shown here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Button_cell which are much smaller in capacity? If he is indeed referring to a 2000-4000mAh battery size then that is amazing.

I recently ended up using std::list<Object*> because of pointer invalidation on vector resize. I see now that using smart pointers would have worked just as well. Thanks.

The enclosure itself is a giant heatsink [1] so I imagine it is fine if you only run 2 NVMe SSDs in this with a bit of case flow.

Blocking javascript also seems to work, but only the first image will be shown.

What about techcrunch, where if you scroll all the way down in an article it automatically re-directs to the main page.

This is so annoying to me that I have JavaScript and cookies disabled for techcrunch just to circumvent this nonsensical behaviour.
