My next car will be an EV. I have no concern about the advertised range. The real worry is what the range will look like in 5-10 years when it is cold out.

From that source:

> GPS-enabled smartphones are typically accurate to within a 4.9 m (16 ft.) radius

Smartphones were typically optimized for speed and battery life, not accuracy. Now that Multi-Band GPS is available on high end smartphones, they tend to be more accurate.

GrapheneOS is no harder to install or use than LineageOS. If anything, it is easier, since the documentation is far better and almost always applicable to all supported devices.

Apple must license tens of thousands of patents for their products. What is so special about not paying for these? Is this dispute even about the patents at this point or just some kind of feud with Masimo?

Microsoft has supported "Native VHD Boot" since at least Windows 7 [1], but it is cool this project can configure it automatically.

Because cars/parking still take up far to much space in dense city centers, making them more loud, dirty and dangerous than they would be without (most) cars.

> Europe is very small.

For another US reference point: the entire European Union is about the same size as Alaska.

This seems like a great start, but unfortunately it will likely be so lucrative, it will make it even less politically acceptable to further reduce/ban cars in the future.

Yes. An Apple sysadmin could just install Beeper, watch what IP their APN requests are coming from and block it. Then repeat the process occasionally.

They don't need to break it completely. If Beeper is unreliable, nobody is going to pay for it.

If you take a look at their How it Works post [1] this is not an entirety client side implementation, so there would presumably be a small number of IPs that would need to be blocked.

If you check the How it Works post, they do show the Beeper Push Notification Service running in the cloud [1] to intercept 'new message available' APNs and then notify the Android device a new message is available.

And Apple didn't even need to block any device identifiers, just the IPs Beeper Mini was using to connect to the APN service.

This could have been blocked in minutes. The delay was likely to get approval from Legal.

Didn't Sony get hacked and had a nearly completed film leaked? I hope the others you listed have far better security.

> how do you imagine did they get the information needed to call you back and knew of the booking?

Maybe booking.com sends an email to the hotel, but they legitimately don't have the login credentials to cancel the reservation?

This is starting to feel like the arguments against systemd all over again. A few highly vocal people hate it, but it works just fine for almost everybody else.

> A subway franchise ain’t gonna hire some PI to figure out where a former front-line employee got a new job.

No, but they might use The Work Number or a similar service.

On the server side, this is one of the reasons my company is quickly moving all Ubuntu servers to Debian. It is so much easier to just edit /etc/network/interfaces.

Maybe it is used as an excuse, but it really does happen regularly [1].

If you have enough money, or your own country, I think anybody can buy .tld these day. Last time I looked into it, the application was well over $100k, with similar annual maintenance fees.

I imagine Windows 11 without a TPM will be treated like a rooted Android device. It may work, but many apps, Office 365 in this case, will enforce their own TPM requirements.

They seem to be using the TPM for Office 365 licensing as well [1]. Presumably this will move to a requirement around the same time Windows 10 support ends.

> If Schwab would fix their account security to allow plain TOTP instead of the scam that is Symantec VIP

Symantec VIP is just TOTP with a proprietary app/enrollment process. It has been reverse engineered [1], allowing you to use any TOTP app. I have been accessing Schwab and other banking sites this way for years.

This really is a feature on Macs. It works for Bluetooth too, apparently to allow network/keyboard/mouse functionality to work in recovery mode and to unlock an encrypted disk.

Most desktop operating systems will show you the DHCP lease time and subnet mask if you look in the right place.

> How do you make money in crashing real estate prices anyway?

Buy low and sell during the next bubble?

This time, it feels like so many people are waiting for the crash to happen, it may not be as bad as last time.

If rates drop, you can refinance immediately, assuming your credit score/income are still sufficient enough to qualify for a new mortgage.

It's not exactly what you described, but Pixel phones have something similar and it has stopped almost all spam calls for me [1].

It is my understanding the buyers agent commission is a line item on the MLS entry. So only agents can see it, not the public. Too low? Now your buyers agent will refuse to show that house.

The Garmin watches with 1+ week battery life have memory-in-pixel displays. Like E-Ink, this seems like another technology that could be amazing if they were available in larger sizes with lower prices.

I had to Google this one, but yes, it looks like an A340 has been used in Antarctica recently [1].
