Objectively, the result is a mountain of e-waste.

edit: and of course, "Mark as lost" is a separate thing from iCloud locking. That's the difference.

The thing is that almost none of what I'm talking about are marked as stolen. They're just old devices bricked because they weren't removed from an account.

The Elementary OS terminal has two function copy/paste. If text is selected it copies it, if not pass Ctrl+C to the terminal. It's a reasonable solution.

For me it's the overall Command-key semantics that I miss when using Linux. I like being able to use readline shortcuts in any text field (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E, etc.) macOS really nails it there and no desktop environments on Linux even attempt to replicate the feel.

The other thing I miss is how VS Code's text navigation shortcuts work. The modifier combinations of selecting text, navigating (with or without a selection), moving and copying text selections and how that interacts with multiple cursors are totally different on Windows and Linux. I'm not sure if it's even possible without the Command key (super) because of how the super key is treated in Linux.

It's all very depressing and makes me feel held hostage on macOS because of my muscle memory. I don't like how Apple treats me.

They really have to stop this release cadence. It’s not working and hasn’t been working for so long.

I encourage everyone who’s having a strong reaction to this to read through the statistics[0] of who is receiving this care. Perhaps consider why you don’t hear about the success stories.

People here are talking about this as if it’s the suicide booth from Futurama. It’s not.

The overwhelming majority of cases are extensions of palliative care made by people of sound mind.

I agree. I don't think the broader Arm ecosystem is comparable to the Apple-IBM-Motorola alliance of the Power era. Arm is ubiquitous in ways that Power never was. Even if Apple had to start buying chips from Qualcomm (yuck) they'd be okay.

There are so few choices for low profile standard layout keyboards with nice keycaps, and you ortholinear fans insist on having yet another? Come on.

All of that could be done more elegantly with a row of LEDs like on the side of an old unibody MacBook.

Controllers are really small these days and fit just fine in the gaps between keys (see link below for a typical example). It’s almost certainly mostly for the battery.

A quick look on Wikipedia[0] shows that 14 GP/s is bad, but really not that bad. It's not like games from 10 years ago when that kind of fill rate was common all looked this bad. Consider that even the humble Xbox 360 had plenty of better looking games than this and only had a <1 GP/s pixel peak fill rate.

I don't think this is a particularly good argument in Meta's favour.

This sounds little bit like Process Homeostasis[0].

I just wish there was anything remotely close to as ergonomic as Fusion 360.

Hopefully Qualcomm’s Nuvia acquisition will bear some fruit sometime soon.

As an outsider of New York it’s pretty bleak to compare the shininess and opulence of all the new billionaire’s row towers to the decay and grime of the subway.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

Except it’s wrong and you fell for it.

I understand the sentiment, but I won’t accept the latency penalty. ISPs shouldn’t be doing dynamic prefix assignments anyway because it breaks too much.

I am an IPv6 maxi (and I love to see this, it’s great), but even I had to chuckle at this line:

> or ask your ISP to enable IPv6 on your network

Try pulling that with Bell Canada. It’s not coming and they don’t care.

(For context, I am behind @BellNoIPv6 on twitter)

That’s Chrome, but with Microsoft telemetry. Hardly an upgrade.

Hacking around “wild edge cases” is how we get impossible to implement standards.

> (in my opinion) ugly

There's your answer.

> How so? If I buy some bitcoin face to face [blah blah]

You just described the benefits of a cash transaction. If the government is your adversary in this scenario, what's stopping them from cutting network access and rendering your Bitcoin immobile? Starlink and solar panel? For everyone?

I'm really getting sick of this libertarian drivel.

I'm talking about scales that matter, not a few kilowatts in your basement.

> monetizing stranded and/or temporary excess amounts of energy

Please stop saying this. Aluminum refining or hydrogen electrolysis fits so much better and actually benefits society.

Not everything needs to be monetized and microtransacted.

That sounds more likely than this weird claim.

> In June, CyberScoop reported claims that “radical ecologists” who oppose digitalization may be behind the attacks.

I wouldn’t rule out a nation state “practice” attack though.

The VW Type 2 had a few pickup/flatbed models too. :P

The most believable part of the story is that the exec didn’t know Volkwagen Group had the rights to the name. The company is absolutely gargantuan.

It’s a great move. Of the main VW brands I can’t think of one that I would associate with rugged vehicles. SUVs, sure, but not pickup trucks.

I'd say it's a solid "no", and the author says as much in the paper.

> We transmitted the data with a bit rate of 1 bit/sec, which is shown to be the minimal time to generate a signal which is strong enough for modulation. The BER for PC-1 is presented in Table VI. As can be seen, the BER of 1% - 5% is maintained between 0 - 90 cm. With a greater distance of 120 cm, the BER is significantly higher and reaches 15%. With PC-2 and PC-3, the bit error rates (BER) are less than 5% only in short proximity up to 30 cm, and hence the attack is relevant only for short ranges in these computers.

This particular attack is a weak 6 GHz signal that can exfil about 1 bit/s from a metre away. It's neat, but impractical.

Readability is really not a relevant factor for WebAssembly. Having tail-call recursion support is critical for the languages that compile to Wasm that use tail-calls themselves.
