Personally I just find it easier to push everything to the cloud and not deal with RAIDZ and failing disk drives. Maybe I’m just old.

I couldn’t find anything CarPlay related in the built in shortcuts app. Can you share the details?

How well does it perform? I have a MacBook Air 2013 that I run Arch on but I miss all the apple ecosystem stuff. I can’t imagine it runs as well as Linux which runs great.

I too like CarPlay and see no need for a wireless version. I like to charge my phone.

My only gripe is there should be an option to turn off Wi-Fi when you plug into the car. Every time I get in the car, start a song, drive away, 30 seconds of silence while it realizes I can’t get to my Wi-Fi, song is back on. Why would they not have an option to just use cellular in CarPlay mode which is what 99.9% of people do?

Been a fan of https://merrysky.net/ recently

They are all contractors. It’s contractors all the way down.

If they did it would prevent things like coffee shop tunnels. All you need is for someone to go to an Apple Store guns blazing to steal phones and they would know full well they could have prevented that. Also people get mugged all the time for their phone. They could prevent that!

Wouldn’t they detect said parts and have the phone not boot? Seems like a pretty easy fix. All those parts have serial numbers recognized by the OS

In a professional environment you will need to test on safari proper.

And computers are so vastly different. We have these layers upon layers to deal with these differences. Back in the day it was just DOS and 386/486 then optimize the crap out of it. Even doom had their sound stuff done through a compatibility layer. Now a days you need to deal with multiple video cards and os and processors. Just easier to make a one and done solution and leverage it

https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM also works (also not very legal)

At least at my job it “comes out of my paycheck” and “budget” because my employees bill their time and all my KPIs are based on yadda yadda so yes short sighted managers could see it see it taking from both. Personally I’m not a numbers person and would rather concentrate on having a good team and producing a good product and let the numbers do what they do. I don’t even look at PTO requests and just approve them.

In the last 10 years I haven’t had a single contract dealing with a windows server. Im sure that someone somewhere does indeed use it. But it’s gotta be 90%+ now a days Linux.

I agree. Last gaming PC I built was 2002. Decided to give the deck a whirl and I’m amazed by it. Playing octopath traveler 2 right now. Even though it has Denuvo antitamper I’ve had 0 issue. Put steam in offline mode and went on a plane and it worked great. Emu deck is also very good. My kids like to play super Mario allstars and they just fire it up like any other game.

They make money on OS ads now to subsidize the cost

Bound to happen. They would never be able to enforce their T&C if they turned a blind eye to its distribution. They should just change their license but this is the path they chose instead.

Use this tool daily. Love it.

Which is so bizarre to me. Metal isn’t cross platform and 3d is very much a cross platform technology. So then why footgun your OS for 3d?

I remember getting local admin on my high schools nt3.5 box with l0phtcrack just to setup a http proxy so I can read wwf.com at the library. Fun times.

Nah I’m good

Any concerns about sending code directly to a third party? I’m very hesitant to use any tool that is sending my assets to the cloud to be used who knows how.

I was always interested why Dolphin (wii and GameCube) emulator would chug on the steam deck. Very frequent single digit fps drops. My 2013 MacBook Air on Linux plays with 0 drops.

Reminds me of a call I was on a few weeks ago where someone went off that Unix epoch with milliseconds wasn’t the Unix epoch. Made it a huge point that it wasn’t and would correct everyone who tried to refer to it as that. I did Google it and he technically is right. But it’s also a stupid hill to die on.

Probably easier to pirate her competition and upload them to piratebay

I used a key gen for quake 3 when it came out. Was surprised when I was able to play online. Told my friends who were not able to play online. I guess I was just lucky my key was an actual key!

Is the boot loader unlocked? I didn’t see that mentioned.

you have to contact facebook for a copy, so not as open as stable diffusion

i thought you are going to say "the core"!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shower_Head There was a Seinfeld about this

people forget that the first ipod was firewire only and firewire was a very apple thing at the time. it wasn't until they gave in and changed it to usb (and released iTunes for windows) that it really set the world on fire.
