What about a port for unlocking the storage via T2 with the user’s password as normal, just bypassing everything else on the mobo so that data would still be recoverable if the dead component was something other than the T2 or storage?

I believe that modern SSDs shuffle data around so that wear levelling does still work even with nearly full drives.

I apologize, I missed your link. But please don’t assume hostility for me missing a URL - I was clearly interested enough in the issue to do a Google search. In any case, please see the comments on the HN post (linked by a sibling comment)

True, but Unicode does say that all alpha-2 codes are valid. So while Unicode isn’t saying “this is a list of countries you need flags for”, they do say “go here to find the list of countries you need flags for” - which is mostly a (reasona

What’s wrong with the Bengali character set? A Google search doesn’t show any discussion on limitations here. And while power and privilege do inevitably play an unintended role in prioritization, Unicode successfully encodes several entire

In my opinion it’s part of the famous hackernews shallow/middlebrow dismissal that PG described almost a decade ago. “This isn’t my use case, and is therefore worthless” is also very similar to the famous “This is silly, anybody could

From what I’ve seen, the skin tone feature sees lots of use (particularly in some minority communities), which to me is a good indication that this is something that people wanted.

There being a cap is relevant, because it makes your currency deflationary and therefore a poor medium for exchange and a very poor medium to base an economy around (as, among other things, it increases the real value of a debt over time an

The percent of developers is likely small, but that’s the wrong stat, as we don’t care very much about the ~90% of devs that have one or two apps with a handful of downloads. Rather, this is about attacking big targets - a small number of a

From what I’m seeing basically the entire iOS team is gone, and that app is nontrivial. It’s going to be a nightmare to get new developers up to speed without any of the existing expertise around.

Perma-owning domain names sounds like a domain name squatter’s dream come true - and therefore not a great time for everybody else.

I don’t think the goal of this farm is to produce a lot of food or make money (the article talks about this), and so measuring it by those metrics is a bit misguided. Is an open source project a failure because it never makes a dime? Of cou

Honestly, this sounds like a “don’t hate the player, hate the game” thing to me. If you subsidize something, IMO it should come as no surprise that people want to take advantage of that subsidy. If people they don’t want to use that subsidy
