I don't doubt him about the stalking problem (by online trolls, not necessarily IRL). He was a prominent voice in the trans supporter community and was regularly attacked by Kiwifarms.

The majority of airlines operating in Europe and the majority of flights taken are on low cost carriers where this is the norm. It’s not just RyanAir there’s dozens of them.

Do we expect the social media ban implementation to be any different to the 18+ restriction on pornography? Personally I doubt it. Real enforcement will come from parents and schools now having authority to stop kids instead of currently being told “but all the other kids have it”.

There does seem to be an opportunity for a big tech companies like Apple and Google to introduce an over 18 verification that’s built into the browser but remains fully anonymous after initial verification.

Most over 18 verification schemes have faltered at the point where adults are asked to verify their identity to view among other things porn. If it was cryptographically proven anonymous there’d be much less resistance.

Asahi Linux doesn’t currently support M4 but it’s planned for next year.

It’s trivially easy to obtain the discount. Anyone working in education, or a student at any level, k-12, higher ed, graduates with access to uni email can get it. Apple doesn’t ask any questions or for verification.

They also go on sale at a similar price to the general public relatively frequently.

Seems shocking that for $46.3 million they cannot find a way to enable this.

My heart goes out to any Fisker owners who purchased one of these soon to be bricks at full sticker.

It's an American oddity where (crooked) local police departments fund themselves off fine revenue. Most countries centralise fine revenue with the state or federal government to remove such incentives.

They also don't have the government sanctioned theft through the ridiculous notion of civil forfeiture...

For the physical infrastructure that the AGI (and world population) uses. Capital will still be needed to purchase finite land and resources even if all labour (physical and services) is replaced.

As a nuclear armed power that has shown far more propensity for military intervention outside their borders (see Africa) than all other nato members I wouldn’t bet against the French here.

"Currently, all the costs fall on HS2, whereas the profits from the oversite development go to the Treasury. So although both are effectively arms of the government, the Treausry’s desire for a larger oversite development piled costs onto HS2 that it is not able to offset from the extra property sales."

Remarkable how rules accounting rules like this can derail a project. Clearly any foundational costs for commercial development should be billed out of the profits coming from said developments.

It's beaurocratic bullshit like this that results in short term thinking with any attempt to build a better more profitable staion being expressed as a project overun and resulting in cancellations or scale backs of critical features.

Is it really within Apple’s purview to police the styling of an app distributed on an alternative digital marketplace?

Surely protecting developers from these kind of arbitrary restrictions by Apple reviewers is the one of the reasons the EU created the DMA regulations in the first place….

Yes. They’re easy to just leave in your ears and go about your day

Only when an app is distributed from their store though? You can request a developer certificate, notarise your apps and deploy them from your website using any API you desire...

I'm not supportive of Apple at all in this but to say that Android works "fine" without notarisation is a stretch[1].

Apple already has already implemented a perfectly functional balance between security and developers rights on the Mac, they just need to adopt that model on iPhone.

Hardware video decoding is well on the way: https://github.com/eiln/avd

Around $150 million was spent searching including with high resolution sonar[1]. But obviously nothing was found. The area they're searching is far larger unfortunately.

Anything that requires turning off the phone will need a passcode once it powers on. This includes battery replacement, screen, microphone, camera, etc. Only for camera repairs is it feasible to test fully without entering a passcode. Of course you could leave the testing until you pick it up and pay but then if something is faulty you’ll have to come back later and wait longer when they might have been able to repair beforehand if they’d known.

It’s a risk. But it also takes a few hours to restore from backup and there’s a bunch of things that (sensibly) don’t restore and require manual setup.

I know Apple will never ask for your passcode but in the case of a repair shop that promises 15 minute service it’s kinda necessary unless you want it to take far longer and annoy them.

Ultimately with it locked down with screentime the only personal data I had an issue with was iCloud Keychain. Honestly I don’t know why Apple lets children access the full settings anyway. It would be trivial to add a screen time restriction for all features of settings except the screentime pane.

This also solves a somewhat unique problem I experienced recently with iCloud keychain where all your passwords are only as secure as your passcode (and anyone that knows it).

I had to hand my phone over to a third party repairer. This would mean they needed to know my passcode so I wanted to lock down the phone to allow them to perform whatever diagnostic steps they might need but to restrict access to the wallet and iCloud keychain.

The first part was actually quite simple using a separate screen time passcode to restrict all apps bar the camera and any that they needed. The frustrating part was that the settings app itself cannot be blocked by screentime (I guess as thats where you configure the restrictions) and as iCloud keychain passwords are accessed from settings there was no way to block access to them.

With this update I could (somewhat) safely supply my passcode while being relatively confident that my keychain passwords were not viewed.

Thieves have been known to steal iPhones not just for the value of the parts but to compromise your entire digital existence. Most online banking transfers only require a 2nd factor from your phone (your saved passwords are already on there).

The update is showing available and downloading onto my devices right now.

The commenter above is accounting for the holiday periods where it’s a weekday but school is not in session so the limits don’t apply.

Because who is looking in the middle of the Indian Ocean at commercial airliners. There’s far more important targets and areas for these systems to focus on

> Convert a continuous string of letters and numbers to a date.

This has been a massive bugbear of mine. Particularly when it inexplicably chooses USA date formats even when faced with a column containing values like 15-07-75. It would frequently convert half the values into US date format where possible and leave others like above unconverted.

How is this different to running a Plex server on your NAS and streaming directly over regular internet?

>Your are right on that the Vision Pro will have a M3 not M2.

It's been publicly announced as using M2 but I assume they just plan to say "we made it even faster" and launch with M3 then?

Speed for iPhone 15 Pro is USB 3 20x faster than the regular iPhone 15.

This implies 10Gbps (USB 3.1 gen 2x1 or 3.2 gen 1x2) on the pro and 480Mbps (USB 2.0) on the standard phone.

Just had to wait for the Pro announcement. Pro model gets USB 3 support. "20x faster" so that would make it 10Gbps.

I find the new map far more cluttered than the old. You don’t want to see a dark grey line for every alleyway and minor path at the high level view. It just looks like a grey mess. The lack of contrasting colours between the main and minor streets (particularly interstates) is a massive step backwards and makes it far hard to plan your route at a glance.

In Asahi Lina’s guest post[1] on the Asahi Linux blog she mentions “If you want to support my work, you can donate to marcan’s Asahi Linux support fund on GitHub Sponsors or Patreon, which helps me out too!”

So yes, donating to Marcan helps driver development too.
