Millions of Windows power users are accustomed to bypassing SmartScreen. A macOS app distributed without a trusted signature will reach a far smaller audience, even of the proportionately smaller macOS user base, and that's largely due

Only the root of the root filesystem is / The point is that any filesystem can be chosen as the OS’s root. The root of all other filesystems - there could be multiple per drive - is where you tell the filesystem to be mounted, or in yo

It's a nice sentiment. The companies with the integrations are the ones that could take it back, but they don't have the incentive to break legal agreements and share with the world. Meanwhile the creative output of humanity is di

this also clears out deeper OS rootkits if they could not achieve reboot persistence, which is not uncommon.

You seem focused on the labor theory of value, and sidestep completely the entire idea of investors, or the entrepreneurial function they serve. Advocate for higher taxes if you wish, but acknowledge that economics are not a zero-sum game a

This raises the lowest rung on the ladder, reduces the set of contracts that adults may consider or consent to, and can eliminate entire jobs and threaten entire sectors such as the old apprentice mechanic / gas station attendant and n

The sweet spot has been 1996-2007 ish for a while. OBD-II, electronic port fuel injection, decent crash structures and side airbags, often better suspension design, no DI carbon fouling, decent mileage. Cheap parts and nearly no remaining d

On some cars you can pull a fuse that goes to the cellular modem, like many Fords at least up to around ‘21-‘23. On others you may need to physically remove the modem if the fuse is going to more components. Not sure about GPS but yes, some

Between this and vaxry’s ouster from freedesktop because his project’s Discord allowed crude and tasteless speech years ago, I’m wondering how many more projects will fracture or make some of their discussion channels private. I believe Fre

My understanding is this was the official Discord for years until they distanced themselves from it last year. However, I don’t think there’s an official one, or at least not one that anybody uses. The community manager blocking everyone on

Had me until the end. I haven’t seen the friction? Let’s Encrypt and web 1.0 still work and domains are cheap. OpenBSD’s httpd is great for this job. You’ll exclude less people if you don’t require any features. You can still give your site

If we are to dehumanize career criminals, there are countless thugs, gangs, despots, governments, and militaries with far fewer scruples and a far worse legacy than the Hell’s Angels. but the point is, dehumanization is anathema to civilize

Modern information access seems to have led to the sinking ship feeling, across many of the most prosperous countries, and so effectively that world wars, deadlier pandemics, and thermonuclear brinkmanship can scarcely compare.

Yep. Could be a big hit to GrapheneOS users. I wonder how Aurora Store will manage.

Scare quotes on people? I know I’m a bit sensitive to dehumanization, but really?

Don’t forget a physical handle to pull open the door. I’d take a steam sensor as well. Thanks to Technology Connections, great channel. Convinced me to read all the fine print until I found a Breville that had it. https://youtu.b

The iPad 12.9” with double-stacked OLEDs is very good, but not as bright as miniLED. 1000 bits typical and 1600 in high brightness mode, says Apple. Of course that mode won’t last super long in the heat, on battery. I’m not sure what good
