So, the threat actor now, after making the compromise, just needs to announce that the previous version has a 0-day, and folks need to install the latest version? I love the idea of a cool down, but it can still be thwarted. I would just

I was in the same boat. I was also one of the weird folks that like the touch bar. I've had my M5 Pro MBP for just over a week now. It's insane how much better it is than the i9 I had. I have a Rust/SwiftUI project that I swe

Question: are you manually making those changes to the "stupid" code? I've been having success with Claude using skills. When I see something I wouldn't do I say what I would have done, ask it for why it did it they way

I've struggled a bit with this myself. I'm having a paradigm shift. I used to say "but I like writing code". But like the article says, that's not really true. I like building things, the code was just a way to do t

Have you seen the classroom app? It allows for multiple profiles on an iPad. I've never used it, so I don't know how well it works. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/shared-ipad-overv...

Here's a thought experiment. (you may need to ignore reality for a moment or think alternate universe) Let's say Apple changed the requirements to have an app "pass" the app store rules. Allowed developers a lower fee fo

You should try to rent a lens to see what works for you. I used lensrentals.com just to try out the 85/1.4 that "everyone" said was awesome. I loved it, but couldn't justify the price for a hobby, so I settled on the 85&

I'm always surprised by articles like this. Apple or Google blocks your app, that could have been a web app anyway... Apple blocked Microsoft from putting Cloud Gaming, as an app, Microsoft released a web page you can add to your home

I love your pricing model, enough to make me download the app. Free with limited lessons. $3 a month for more, or $30 for lifetime. It makes folks like me who have subscription-itus smile. Thank you.

Agreed. Here in the US if they say "sugar free" there is usually some other sugar replacement. I don't need dried mango's with added sugar or sweetener, they are sweet enough as is. I'd love to see an unsweetened op

The OS itself I'm not sure of. Developing for is was a fun challenge. I had a device that had 4MB of memory total. This was RAM, Data, and application space. I created an "app" that had plugins. When you ran the HotSync is as

MSSQL server has a Linux build - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux... If your CRUD apps are Winforms I had success with Wine, but you might want to try something else. I've hea

I did consider that. I've had more than one experience of screwing things up. The $300 investment was an insurance policy against me doing that again :) . With how happy I am with a cheap box it might be something to consider when I ha

It was enough to get me to try Linux again, and it was pretty eye opening for me. My work laptop is a $3,200 USD Dell 5570 from 2023. I bought a Beelink SER5 on amazon on discount because it was an older model around $300. I installed Ubunt

That what I used git submodules for. I had a /lib folder in my project where the dependencies were pulled/checked out from. This was before I was doing CI/CD and before folks said git submodules were bad. Personally, I loved

Folks should stop playing with words, and call it what it is. I feel like this should be called an act of war. It is espionage. UK against is people, UK against the world. And yes, the same goes for the US, China, Russia, and anyone else th

Maybe this feature is to turn this off? Years ago I went to a concert with some friends. We took pictures standing in front of the stage while the staff was setting up. There were some additional pictures of the show. Nothing in any of the

I know it's not ideal, but if you have iCloud disabled in Photos.app, use that to download photos from your phone to Photos.app, then in Photos.app, select all, and export to your chosen location, then delete from Photos.app. I know it

I think on the surface it looks like a double standard. I don't think that's what it is. Apple users never had this openness, so they might not know what they're missing. Google users did have this openness, and I think it&#x

I don't recall so I'm guessing it wasn't a big deal. Conjecture: The department had stacks of phones for loaner use, maybe they just got a replacement. I remember having several on my desk to play with at the time.

Pre 2015. Boss wants a banner printed with some QR code. I state we should also include the URL, because no one knows what a QR code does until it's scanned. Boss disagreed. Android had an exploit at the time with #* codes that would b

This is interesting. I feel that I live pretty comfortably. I went to the Living Wage Calculator, picked my state and county. I have more children than 3. It looks like it's about five dollars an hour per child. With that I don't

How does an SO survey change the view of the comment? If they use Linux and know three other developers two that use a Mac and one on Windows isn't the comment still true? From what they see more folks use non-Windows. Also, not every

Andriod's open. Design your phone, find an investor, and put it in production. If folks agree with you you'll make money.

I like this idea, but I think it's just as important, if not more so, to vote in the Primary elections held before the general election. The primary determines who's on the general election ballot. If you ever wonder why the candi

would it be too hard to do: send request to bank, bank checks, says it's ok and returns the amount to withdraw, the card reader already says "is amount $20.00 ok", just replace that with what the bank said it was authorizing,
