One of better videos of this type. Anyone know what's the music from background? Hair raising.

Out of band management is fine, but have it completely disabled by default, have it run on co-processor optimized for security, not speed, in language optimized for security, not speed and when it's on have it filter all packets that aren't signed to unique secret key. Basic stuff.
They could specify whether I'm good with AMT turned off or they went extra stupid and AMT processes packets even when it's off. My bet is on the later because otherwise they'd say to disable AMT otherwise. My next processor will be AMD.
What if, perhaps, they are deservedly [1][2].

They changed the name to Modern UI, some reported [1] because it clashed with their German partner Metro AG. In any case Modern UI started with Zune and you could get for the time nifty looking media player for it on XP [2]. You can still see it in newer parts of Windows 10 with its aversion to skeuomorphic design, preferring text and minimalist 1 color icons.

I imagine 10 engineers that worked out antialiasing at Apple are handsomely compensated for their suffering.
I hook my mac to a cheap ultrawide. Will Apple give me 1k eur to get a new monitor with 4x pixel density so I can continue using my computer that I got from them only a few months ago or will my mac become obsolete? This is unworkable.

No. You will see people aren't bothered by Taiwan or other far eastern countries, perhaps there's a reason.
> pretty weird
Maybe English is a weird language. I'm esl so I shouldn't be teaching you.. The reason people don't spell it out is because it is shorter, seems more polite and are afraid of looking like this[0].
You know wikipedia exists. Or people like me who will harp on on how privacy standards that are somehow acceptable now would be something inconceivable in 90's.
These aren't their natural right. Some laws are just bad independent of whether most people support or agreed to them. This is most obvious in dictatorships, but dysfunction strikes all systems.
Easier said than done and is harder than what sanctimonious pricks that designed this law probably had in mind.
Everyone with presence on Apple's platforms fears them like the wrath of God and you can't risk not storing data that your users _volunteered_ if that will help you stay on Apple's good side by having better control over more abusive portion of your users.
Then there's the question of whether it is ethical to delete data that was volunteered that could however aid in discovering criminals that chose to abuse your system. Authors of these laws probably think that and nsa would know that I would often seem to agree with them but deep down I'm not so sure as I have deep suspicion that we are cared for and our european security is deeply dependent on arrangements similar to ones done in bletchley. If it's moral for them to store data then it should be by analogy for us. Or in short I dread that my inaction on my web properties would aid existing criminality so out of ethical considerations I'd rather store more.
But now with GDPR I have fears of scenarios like someone admitting to cheating on their spouse on my properties, deleting that info later on, then the spouse discovering that through GDPR request and committing physical violence. Or dictators hunting dissidents by submitting GDPR requests over european VPN. (edit: maybe they wouldn't even need VPN as I'm from EU and would have to grant requests irrespective of user's citizenship? headache)
I don't want to contribute to either scenario but it would seem EU is thrusting this headache of a choice on me, so as a citizen of EU country, fuck the EU.
We both know that, but if you tried to say that people's needs have radically changed in that time then I fail to see how.
> can be useful to a lot of people
It sounds to me more like an excuse product managers have come up with to explain away why one would plausibly use an invasive feature most people wouldn't give informed consent for. And a lot of people isn't most people or most informed people. I would think most people would be satisfied with offline location bookmarking just as they were with sharpie scribbling 20 years ago. And if they were properly informed they probably wouldn't agree to 24/7 tracking with a chance of loan or job denial on the off chance that it will help them find a place they've forgot to bookmark and couldn't possibly find it via google no matter how hard they tried.
> GDPR is a good start in regulating Evil corps
Yes, evil corps are evil but GDPR is completely mindbogglingly shit start. And it makes things worse. Ask yourself, how do you authenticate a person who emailed you GDPR data request? How do you know you aren't talking with your user's spouse or a hacker and are make things worse for that user by dumping data to requester?
20 years ago when the world ran on paper maps people didn't need to communicate their location to map makers via phone, so why would they have that need now?
Sorry but this is fucked up. Why not not. Yesterday's discussion on overheads of GDPR rattled me into mild headache and today you prove why exactly GDPR came to be. It's none of <oversea corporation XYZ>'s business to know where I've been. That's why not.

It's analogous.
You probably meant minimal superset of C (as C doesn't have nontrivial or similarly performant memory-safe subset). And probably, although its niche would be smaller. Either you have complexity in language or in code. Systems software is more often larger and more complex so it less often makes sense to choose language that's easier to learn that is then harder to write in.
I'm not entirely convinced that is the case, but surely you will agree that it's much easier to audit Rust for memory-safety than C++.
Only sometimes. For complex enough problems I think mental burden of writing and maintaining software in less complex language will become more burdensome than the intrinsic burden that comes with more complex language.
Microsoft placed it into my library and you can't remove it unless you first install it and then uninstall it and I don't want to install it so I'm stuck with it. It's egregiously a dark pattern[0]. On the other hand Garage Band is first party code which presumably enjoys the same level of quality as the main OS so it's fine.
> How much cache does your laptop have?
Enough. How much bandwidth does my ram have? Enough that it can fill cpu caches in I don't notice time. I still have 12 year old Conroe with spinning hard disk laying around and it never had any problem running VS Code so there's that data point.
Their refresher series on linear algebra is seriously amazing as is other content. :)
Hint: maybe stop being condescending.
Also, I'm from EU and I'm split on GDPR. On one side I acknowledge its benefits and where it's coming from (the industry is known for highly morally dubious practices), on the other hand I don't agree on principle with the implication that users don't/can't have free will to enter into (however unfair) contracts these companies wish to use.
I still wonder if there's an ethical dilemma that lies underneath this - is it fair to prioritize needs of users who use your tool in a different way (for backup jobs) over users that use your tool only occasionally, perhaps not even out of their own initiative (they were sent 7z file from a ostensibly trusted source).
