RockRobotRock··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
Does Apple make their own displays? Maybe they just ran out of panels you could buy without a digitizer already built-in.
RockRobotRock··on iPhone Duo Teardown
No, buy a new one and try it for a month. Apple's return policy is very lenient.

We're really not far from that with this: https://github.com/willfaust/madeira

The ecosystem for running x86 games on snapdragon phones is already fairly robust. Crossover on my apple silicon mac works wonders.

There are many hardware keys that support webauthn, like YubiKey.

Yeah. I read the first 5 paragraphs, and that's as far as I could get.

"At least nine issues tell the same story"

"every change lands in both at once"

It's Claudlish, so of course a community full of people who spend lots of time talking to Claude would notice this.

RockRobotRock··on Donald Trump Hit with 26 Articles of Impeachment
Nothing ever happens.

RockRobotRock··on Keys Not Included: recovering the signing keys for US driver's license barcodes
I had a fake ID, and it being scannable was a huge selling point. Convenience stores all scan, and don't seem to care if you look underage. I was only turned down two or three times, usually at bars and restaurants.
RockRobotRock··on Child Sexual Abuse Material Persists on X
I said that I ran a company that could benefit from having access to that list, and could benefit NCMEC by reporting when we stumbled upon content which shows up in the list. (It's content scanning software for the adult film industry)
RockRobotRock··on Starlink Signal Leakage Threatens Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
Google "Ukraine war Starlink". Neolibs who hate Musk's companies unconditionally are going to go quiet real fucking fast, I bet.
RockRobotRock··on Starlink Signal Leakage Threatens Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
Is that because everyone you know lives in a high-wealth country/area?
RockRobotRock··on Starlink Signal Leakage Threatens Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
okay for real, i think you have elon derangement syndrome.
RockRobotRock··on Starlink Signal Leakage Threatens Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
Precise motives? I don’t know, I don’t think I have any. I don’t use starlink myself or have a Tesla or invest in any of his companies. Feels silly to disclaim that, but there you go.

Having used starlink before on a plane and on land, it’s fast and seems far superior to previous generations of satellite internet. I’m earnestly asking if creating problems for astronomers is outweighed by giving more people access to the internet. Not just giving them “access”, but giving them very fast and low latency access.

I’m a human that just so happens to disagree with you. I don’t like Elon either, but what I dislike more is that it’s impossible to talk about any of his companies without people like you assuming my motives.
RockRobotRock··on Starlink Signal Leakage Threatens Radio Astronomy's Most Critical Frequencies
maybe Internet for people on earth matters more than astronomy
