Which in turn reminds me of the "Interdictor" blogger who did the same during Hurricane Katrina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdictor_(blog)

This literally just happened to me yesterday. Again.

Aren't they on a sanctions list? Would the US government let them buy it?

> The link worked fine for me in an incognito Window, so I assumed it didn't require any sign-in.

I tried it and it redirected to the imgur.com front page. And I am logged into a paid kagi account. I guess the URLs are per-user.

No they haven't, there was never any consumer hardware shipped that routed anything onto HDMI Ethernet.

Probably makes more sense as a thing to keep the internet running in a truck/RV between periods while the engine is stopped.

> They don't turn off people's access

They do. I often get the message "This model is currently experiencing high demand, please try again later"

Might have something to do with how Apple expects the software to model the temperature of the speakers based on the power it has sent them, and limit volume to keep them from being blown. Other laptops do this in hardware/chipset. https://asahilinux.org/2022/11/november-2022-report/

Yeah we're talking about soccer moms, they don't need ground clearance. Station wagons can just as easily have AWD, Subaru were famous for it.

The taller the car the less safe it is for everyone around it.

And I rented an SUV once and was surprised by how small it was on the inside compared to the outside. Seemed way less practical than it could have been.

It's the soccer mom treadmill.

Station Wagons -> Minivans -> SUVs

What's next? I hope we loop around back to station wagons.

I think worse than just selling poorly, it served as a massive distraction to their development team, keeping them from releasing or updating other, more important cars.

His channel is a highly recommended watch for anyone who is curious. He also did some very easy to understand tests of range for towing comparing the impacts of the weight of what you're towing vs the wind resistance.

You mean the government that Elon Musk gutted with DOGE?

> Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reportedly cut 30 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) workers in February, disproportionately affecting regulators tasked with assessing self-driving vehicle risks, according to a Financial Times report.

It's really insane. I live in Japan where you'd think Toyota may have some pull to make their dream come true. My city actually has one (1) hydrogen station, it's only open a day or two a week - it's basically only open by appointment, you have to call ahead if you want to be sure to be able to fill up.

I'm never going to complain about SwiftUI again

The revenge of Compiz Wobbly Windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbCg9_YgKgM

Accessibility features are often the bellwether of the needs of abled users as well.

When Apple introduced Liquid Glass, "reduce transparency" was also an accessibility feature.

There was never an MS Office for DOS. The first version was for the Mac.

There was a Word for DOS, but Word for Windows was a port of Word for Mac. Excel started on the Mac (their DOS spreadsheet was called Multiplan). PowerPoint started out as a Mac product funded by Apple, which Microsoft acquired.

None of this can be described as "knocked out by Microsoft in a year".

> There’s a reason the first Mac showing black text on a white background was such an improvement

Apple soon started offering a dark mode as an accessibility feature https://kalleboo.com/linked/mac_closeview_control_panel.png

> Strictly speaking, the SIM card spec includes CDMA/3GPP2

I think the only market that had R-UIM cards (CDMA SIM cards) was Japan, but even with those you couldn't use non-carrier phones since they had all the configuration hard-coded into the devices. It did allow roaming abroad by putting your card into a foreign GSM phone you'd rent at the airport.

edit: apparently it was also in use in China

They did try once (well, as hard as Apple can allow itself to try with their pervasive disdain for both gaming and third party developers) when they launched the AppleTV 4K - they were advertising the motion controls and they sent out a bunch of free AppleTVs to developers.

> Remember infrared file sharing? Of course you don’t.

I was at a karaoke bar in Japan the other year and noticed the remote for the karaoke system had an IR port. Next time I brought my Sony Clie and sure enough, it still worked to let you send photos and doodle on them to display on the karaoke screen. Looked up the system, it was from 2012 (but was still kept up-to-date with new songs). https://kalleboo.com/microblog/posts/113510755577334826.html

The coal plant boom right now in China is an inefficient result of their political system, and not indicative of "doubling down" on fossil fuels.

They had a bunch of energy shortages back in 2022, local politicians "had to do something", and green-lit a bunch of permits for coal power to stabilize energy generation.

Those are all coming online now, right as they are not needed. They're activating as much grid battery storage as they are coal, so the coal is doing nothing for supply stabilization. Actual coal burnt is plateauing. It's basically a scam by coal companies trying to get one in before renewable mandates take over. They're on contracts where they get paid just to standby and not generate power.

These headers for the Keychain certainly do look familiar https://kalleboo.com/linked/macos86security_vs_macosgoldenga...

But in the early days, a lot of UI and OS frameworks were based on Carbon stuff ported from Classic MacOS with Cocoa wrappers on them.

One sibling mentioned the menus. Another sibling mentioned the Security framework. The SDK for macOS Golden Gate still ships with headers dating back to MacOS 8.6 (although they are mostly deprecated now) https://kalleboo.com/linked/macos86security_vs_macosgoldenga...

> I haven't seen anything like it

I remember using the fluxbox wm like this back on the university Sun machines

The excuse is usually that the Android face unlocks are very insecure and easy to trick since they just use a regular camera instead of the IR dot projector. I don't know how true this actually is though.

Same excuse behind not having under-screen fingerprint scanners - supposedly they're a lot easier to trick.

Then why do they still take so long?

LLM should still be able to catch a misleading permission message though.
