Would love to see the source code for this and the underlying details like Classic or Carbon, and the libraries mentioned on Tinker Different for TLS, HTTP/2, and Unicode

Correct, but they stylized it as "eyePhone" (from MomCorp, the all powerful, caring conglomerate), and that episode is the origin of the famous "Shut up and take my money!" meme.

And something similar still happens if you install more than one drive in your machine with fresh Windows installations. Ugh.

I'd guess some constraint on their end related to the Zero Data Retention (ZDR) mode? Maybe the 1M context has to spill something onto disk and therefore isn't compliant with HIPAA.

That's what I figured. Some day eventually it will be possible. Until then, it's only LM Studio or Ollama as a potential hookup. I've got some ideas inspired by this project. It's promising.

How practically could we drop in Apple Intelligence once it's using Gemini as its core for a 100% local AI agent in a box?

They did it in the 1990s and it failed so hard that it almost took down the company.

Maybe a better title would say "Asian nations [independently] roll out 4-day weeks, WFH to solve fuel crisis"?

This is the official Wikimedia Foundation status page for the whole of Wikipedia, so it's a reliable primary source.

I wouldn't be surprised either. But the original formatting of the worm makes me think it was human written, or maybe AI assisted, but not 100% AI. It has a lot of unusual stylistic choices that I don't believe an AI would intenti

Wow. This worm is fascinating. It seems to do the following: - Inject itself into the MediaWiki:Common.js page to persist globally, and into the User:Common.js page to do the same as a fallback - Uses jQuery to hide UI elements that would r

I will say that 26.4 beta 2 was the first time I've regretting using betas since Sonoma beta 2. The Sonoma beta ruined the firmware on my machine and Apple had to replace the logic board; the latest Tahoe beta broke all networking on m

That's the right chip. The other comment shows off the article. I forgot that it was called the "sensor hub", that's why I couldn't find the post showing how it works.

I had never heard about this app. I thought the era of advertisements taking over the lock screen ended back in the Android 4.x days! But also, thinking from the business perspective, it's difficult to make phones meet such a low price

While I generally agree with your sentiment, these tools aren't bad ones: - Santa is a very common tool used by macOS admins to lock down binary and file access privileges for apps, usually on managed machines - Disk Inventory X and Gr

One of the important reasons that it works so well is because it uses the Hexagon DSP in the Snapdragon processors to catch the events. That's why it's so hard to replicate. It's possible to do it entirely in software, but it

Dell likes to pull this stunt on other devices too. Like their 1L desktops in the OptiPlex line that I managed for many years. Even though we were using genuine Dell power adapters, if they became slightly unplugged but remained powered, th

This wasn't PTC. It was repair lockouts instituted by the manufacturer of the trains based on a GPS geofencing beacon.

I've made a feature request there to add another GitHub Actions bot to auto-close issues reporting errors like this when an outage is happening. Would definitely help to cut through the noise. https://github.com/anthrop

I would normally do something like that; however, we opted to open an AppleCare Enterprise case for it, since it gets an engineer to look into the issue. Both our Mac IT manager and I are thinking that it's the AV engine (Microsoft Def

Update: Several reproduction sessions later, it appears that the content of one specific YAML file's PSI structure is causing a negative interaction with the system's EndpointSecurity extension process. Either one of the AV produc

Since this is on Android, this policy should only apply to the version of the Messages app within the work profile, right? If it didn't and could access personal messages, that would be crossing a line. Reading the post makes it sound

I had a very different reaction to this, because I just released a Rust library called ironbeam [0] without knowing anything about this. It was intended to be a pun on Apache Beam and the fact that iron can rust... I guess I'll have to

Oh no, this is undoubtedly going to be terrible for the companies that built their OTT platforms on Vimeo. E.g. Dropout.tv.
