nofunsir··on Apple’s grey list: Words and phrases your iPhone won’t help you spell
I suspect apple also has a grey list of URLs for certain controversial websites, no matter how many times one visits, and that it differs for whatever reason between iphone os and ipad os.
nofunsir··on Every Mac comes with an (undocumented) family member classifier
I would say it started with Chrome and Gmail
nofunsir··on eMudhra ignored Mozilla Root investigation deadline; blames social media
US consumer protection laws do not and CANNOT require US citizens to trust foreign agents. Period. There are other ways to extract a lawful refund.
nofunsir··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
even with sip disabled, the System volume is still read only, and even if you remount it as rw, the System volume was signed, so any changes, even a single byte, will cause your mac to not boot unless you manually re-sign with a new snapshot.

Wiretapping, for example, doesn't require someone to listen to the recording for it to be illegal.

* Must delete "non hit" plate images within 3 MILLISECONDS

* Strict forbidden to upload "non hit" camera imagery to NON-VOLATILE STORAGE.

* "HIT" LIST MUST BE CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY SIGNED & ENCRYPTED BY WARRANT KEY ONLY JUDGE HAS ACCESS TO.

nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
I'm sure the cellar was also documented, Arthur eventually found it, did he not?

Mailing lists are basements in 2026

nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
Here's a stoichiometric bird for you:

:%s/git 3\.0/python 3.0/g

nofunsir··on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake
No I'm not. Real thumbs here. If anything this paragraph sounds like LLM slop

The plans have been on display in a cellar. Beware of the leopard.
nofunsir··on The top secret URSALA, RAQUEL, and FARRAH satellites (2025)
You'd think a star shield would be pointed toward the cosmos. Less of a shield and more of a planet-wide real-time inward-pointing "cool" device.
nofunsir··on Why is the liver so weirdly regenerative?
It's more than possible to make it to adulthood without ingesting a drop of alcohol, even if you're talking about fermented fruit. It's easy, in fact.

What does this even mean? Hand our remote controlled flying nuclear powered Von Neumann state machine sensors over to matrix multiplication?
nofunsir··on Atomic Clocks
Listen to "What Time Is It?" by Ken Nordine. It's a treat.
nofunsir··on No leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2026
The Three Gorges Dam has already given us 22 more microseconds in the year. Basically, the Chinese have converted the angular momentum of every molecule on Earth, including you... into electricity.

You're making this up to justify subscription model guilt. Nobody (besides those on here) EXPECTS this. In fact, most would rather live with the risks than deal with subscription model, let alone the headaches of updating and it breaking everything (i.e. causing a chain reaction that you have to update EVERYTHING in order to fix a small non-issue).

I, in fact, do NOT want continuous maintenance. Ever. I will literally never turn on auto-updates for the rest of my life.

nofunsir··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
> When done properly you don't even notice!

This lame argument should be added to the List of Fallacies. It's used everywhere as a "wild card" argument.

nofunsir··on How far behind is each major Chromium browser?
What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)

It's already a feature (click the link domain).
nofunsir··on Show HN: TinyOS – A minimalist RTOS for Cortex-M written in C
What ever happened to μC/OS?

Seemed both well documented and well suited to have taken over for the current MCU explosion. I almost never see anyone talk about it.

Looks like it open-sourced in 2020.

nofunsir··on What your Bluetooth devices reveal
iBeacon. They know what shelf you're standing in front of. What products you touch and read.

Ever been in an Apple store? Look up. In the dark voids between the edge-to-edge backlit ceiling. There are secrets there. Watching you.

nofunsir··on Converting a $3.88 analog clock from Walmart into a ESP8266-based Wi-Fi clock
This will pair nicely with the eps8266 i just flashed after ripping it out of a Wyze plug that required I download their app, updating my operating system first of course, make an account and agree to their privacy policy.
nofunsir··on Xcode 26.3 – Developers can leverage coding agents directly in Xcode
Why is it still called Xcode, if they abandoned the name OS X?

screenshots aren't 'proof.' and haven't been for a long time, neither was i ever looking for 'proof'. wow, the amount of webdev butthurt at someone's website who criticized webdevs is astounding.

I'm not gaslighting you. Are you just willy nilly accusing me of lying that nothing was covered up in MYYYYY browser? What about Lynx? hmm? What a garbage community member you are.
