They are cooked by the hot butter and you can also put the siphon into a hot water bath for a short amount of time.

To be fair, the texture is not exactly the same as traditional hollandaise. But it's much easier to get it right.

I bought a siphon to make whipped cream (and other recipes) a couple of weeks ago. Fresh cream from it tastes a lot better than from the store bought canisters. Not sure what the reason is, but I'm guessing the store bought canisters contain additional chemicals to extend the shelf life.

At .50 EUR per N2O load (plus the siphon) it is somewhat of a luxury of course. But if you're into cooking, I think it's a reasonable investment. I'm looking forward to trying a Hollandaise recipe next. It's much easier to make in a siphon than using the traditional technique over a water bath.

Thank you for this explanation! I had a hunch that this is how it works. But it seemed to simplistic for it to be true.

Could someone explain briefly what a system prompt is in this context and roughly how it works? I haven't yet had the opportunity to use ChatGPT, been only reading about it here on hn and elsewhere.

I noticed exactly the same thing on a new Mac mini M2 base model when I conncted the power cord. Now I'm relieved that it seems to be a common problem.

I don't know anything about electronics. Do you think this is some kind of defect or bad design of the power supply?

My thought as well. I can only see one tweet, no replies. I'm guessing it's a thread, and you need to have an account to read the replies?

LG UltraFine 27MD5KL is on my shortlist. One downside is that it hasn't been updated in a while. Upside is, you can get them second hand for 30-40% less than it currently retails for.

The Samsung display seems nice. But how long is Samsung going to support the devices OS? The price is also not competitive in my opinion. For 1600 I would prefer the Studio Display, even if it's not height adjusted.

I will probably wait for the next Mac mini model with the M3 SOC. Luckily I'm not in a hurry.

Indeed, and I hope Ventura will get at least two years of security fixes.

It's still my impression, that the 2017 Macs (sold by Apple well into 2018), should have made the cut for Sonoma. I don't even care about any of the new features. I'm more interested in bug and security fixes. So hopefully I have more time to hunt for the perfect display that can adequately replace the 5K 27" of my current setup. And I know there is the Studio Display. But that one is too expensive for me.

I used Dosdude's patches to install Mojave on a 2011 Mac mini. That worked well. Thanks for mentioning OpenCore-Legacy-Pather. I have it on my radar, just didn't have the time to look into it more thoroughly.

I know my way around Linux, as a server OS at least. The issue with switching is more about my previous investment in buying and learning dozens of third-party apps. I also must say that I value the integration between macOS and iOS a lot.

Once my (i)Macs stop receiving security updates though, I might try a Linux distro, just to give them a second life.

Completely agree. I have two perfectly good but now unsupported 5K iMacs from 2015 and 2017 in my household, both don't get any more upgrades. Heck, I would even pay up to 100 EUR/USD for longer support. But that's probably not a viable business case for Apple anymore.

This is exactly how it works. If a thief knows the passcode (be it numerical or more complex), he can change your iCloud Account password without knowing the current password and disable Find My without.

Apple acknowledges this and seem to be ok with it [1].

I think this is only true for charging cables that are USB-A to USB-C. I have some of those lying around, also from cheap gadgets. But I would not recommend using them for data transfers anyway.

I use profiles extensively and would love to know which extension you are using. Containers cover most of my sandboxing needs for private browsing, but I prefer to have a separate Firefox profile for business accounts/apps.

I would not be surprised if a large share of this growth could be attributed to the enormous expansion of domestic oil and gas production. The timeframe also coincides with the beginning of the shale gas and oil boom. If my understanding of GDP is correct, onshoring of energy production should have a direct effect on economic activity as measured by GDP.

To find train connections, I recommend the Bahn-App by Hellany [1]. With it, you can search specifically for trains for which the Deutschland-Ticket is valid. Notice the toggle in the last line of the search form.

It's my understanding that passkeys that are created by platform authenticators or password managers can be backed up. That's how replicating your key through iCloud likely works. Hardware keys on the other hand don't support backups by design. You need to enroll multiple keys to have a backup.

> With passkeys, I'd need to set up and authenticate additional devices

This is true, if you don't use a platform authenticator or password manager and only use hardware keys.

I thought so too. But counterintuitively, security keys are treated the same as an already logged-in device. This means, even if you had a security key set-up, an attacker would still be able to change the iCloud password only with the knowledge of the device passcode. The attacker could even remove the security key after changing your Apple-ID password.

You only get the extra security of the security key when you set up a new device or when you log in using a browser.

Maybe it's because English is not my native language, but I had a very hard time to get the gist of both articles. I'm not even sure I have learned something concrete about KYC/AML. The only take away I have is that it's a deliberately opaque set of rules and that neither the regulator nor the banks have a complete picture of what is actually going on in the financial system. And that it's leaky as hell.

But maybe that is all the author tried to convey to the reader, just in an opaque way :)

As a German citizen let me tell you, hardly anyone here is angry that the pipelines are gone. No one is even talking about Nord Stream anymore. When Gazprom stopped the gas flows in July 2022, it was abundandly clear, that the deliveries would not resume in the foreseable future. In a way, blowing up the pipelines made things easier, because the government and the industry could fully focus on reorganizing energy procurement, without being needlessly entangled in hypothetical discussions about what could have been. Even if Russia wanted to resume selling gas to Western Europe sometime in the future, there is still plenty of capacity in the remaining pipelines through Belarus and Poland, as well as Ukraine. They are fully operational and currently either not used at all (Yamal pipeline), or operating at a very low capacity (Transgas).

> Now that the Western sanctions are strangling Russian economy - if Gazprom wanted to come back to European market - they would be first greeted by billions of dollars of contract charges in arbitration courts.

This is not merely hypothetical. Uniper, one of Gazproms biggest customers in Europe, is already suing for $12 billion in damages. And that is only one of many former customers.

This is not about actual premium cards. Premium cards are defined by Stripe as:

> Commercial, corporate, or business cards issued by Visa and Mastercard

The reason is that in 2015 the EU capped interbank fees to 0.2% for debit cards and 0.3% for credit cards. Visa and Mastercard (and issuing banks) managed to carve out an exemption for payment cards that are issued to businesses. These cards do have much higher fees. I'm actually surprised that Stripe has refrained so far from charging more for business cards.

What is also very frustrating with AWS is that you can only set up one 2FA method. You have to choose between TOTP OR security key and can't have both at the same time. I wanted to add a yubikey to my account a couple of weeks ago, but had to switch back to TOTP. A lost Yubikey means you're looked out, TOTP secrets can be backed up at least.

Thank you for explaining how brand rules might affect the decision which payment rails to choose. But does this also apply to payment cards that were issued by banks outside the US?

When you transact with a foreign credit/debit card at a POS or ATM in the US, you are also routinely asked if you want to proceed as a credit or debit transaction. I never know what to choose and if it actually makes a difference.

When I compare Apple Maps and Google Maps, both show me in the same spot relative to the aerial imagery. Could of course be, that both apps are off. I think it's more likely it's the GPS accuracy.

I know that regular GPS is not super accurate. But my impression was, that chipsets which support Galileo in addition to GPS, would be more accurate than 5-10 m.

How is the positioning accuracy outdoors?

My iPhone 13 is rather disappointing in this regard. Even in my garden, with a clear sky, Maps.app will show my location at least 5 m off my actual position.

iTerm2 has a 'Advanced Paste' dialog which allows you to escape special shell characters, among other things. You can invoke it with Opt-Cmd-V. I discovered this feature a couple of days ago and wondered then under what circumstances it might be useful. Now I know.

It's getting some traction in Germany. Two out of three of my banking apps support scanning QR Codes for payment. I had the opportunity to use it once so far with a major online retailer.

I'm not familiar with the legal system in the US. How much of the awarded money does the plaintiff actually receive as compensation in such a case? Do they have to share some of the awarded money with the lawyers? Also, are they also entitled to the punitive part of the damages?

I'm asking because in many EU jurisdictions the equivalent of the punitive damages goes to the state or sometimes to charity organizations.

The question is, if complete energy autonomy is even that desirable. From an economic perspective I think it makes sense to use the grid as a kind of battery. Sell surplus energy to the grid in summer, buy it back in winter (ideally renewable) and let the utilities deal with the headache of balancing supply/demand and storage.

Also, solar panel efficiency is still increasing at a steady pace. A gain of 50% compared to the average efficiency of currently sold panels seems to be achievable in a couple of years. 20% vs. 30% could be all you need to improve your calculation.
