I don’t think they’re going to drop support for local backups any time soon. There are lots of enterprise customers relying on Time Machine who will never switch to iCloud. TM can also be configured via MDM settings and is a really common s

I wonder how much of this was driven by public/media interest in the H-1B program rather than technical policy concerns. For instance, there is still no action taken about the L-1B visa classification, which is a lot more open to abuse

I’m not entirely sure what it is, but my Alexa devices hit subdomains within it very frequently based on my local DNS history. That’s probably why it made the top of the list.

Tailscale runs its own local DNS resolver on your computer at 100.100.100.100, if you have enabled that in settings. Your DNS queries don't go to any Tailscale servers. By default, the client simply forwards all queries to the system D

I used to own a Kia Soul. It was very spacious to carry around items. It was also fairly reliable and didn’t require any repairs beyond standard maintenance. However fuel economy wasn’t as good as a sedan. The boxy shape really impacts that

Tailscale dev here: yes, you can set up a custom coordination server in the settings, just like on the iOS app. Open the tvOS Settings app, then scroll down to Tailscale.

With a more modern audio codec like Opus, which does better at low bitrates, a minute at phone-line quality would take around 80-120 kB, one third of MP3. Which makes it even cheaper.
