Surely Apple continue selling old models for a couple years, so waiting until the last moment would not work.

In my experience, surprisingly few services nowadays require email confirmation, I suppose in the name of increasing conversions or something. I've had a number of accounts opened in my address but with different dots (eBay, Spotify, S

I was curious what this strange assembly language was, as it looked like neither Arm nor x86. Apparently the Go toolchain has its own assembly language which partially abstracts away some architectural differences: https://go.dev

It definitely won't be true when you're emulating an x86 OS, regardless of other power saving features.

Or maybe Apple should add it to System Settings so that each and every app doesn't need to reinvent the wheel?

The problem is not adding an account, but the fact that you can't open Mail to change the default email client without first configuring an email account in Mail... which you're not going to use because you were trying to switch t

You're blaming Mozilla for what the Firefox subreddit did, which is not run by Mozilla?

Slight correction, the article seems to indicate they are based in Bulgaria and their employees are remote from several other countries (including Georgia, but also e.g. the UK). Not that it takes away from your point, it still sounds like

I think you might be confusing the tracking of validity of capabilities themselves (which could indeed be at a 16 byte granularity for an otherwise 64-bit system) with the bounds of a capability, which can be as small as 1 byte.

Are you confusing Firefox View with Reader view?

You could use the GUI buttons that appear at the bottom of the suggestions - they even show the respective special character in the tooltip.

by Liquid_Fire 3y ago
This only works if you put the special character in the beginning and not at the end e.g. if I type "hacker news %" it still only filters by open tabs, but it doesn't show the "Tabs x" label (whether I add a space o

How are you going to know in advance that the pages are going to be the same? e.g. your guest kernel is loading an application into memory, by reading some parts of an ELF file from disk. Presumably each VM has its own unique disk, so the h

If you don't give the location data to the application, how is it going to do navigation, finding restaurants near you, and all other similar features?

But it might well give you the exact same code with a variable name changed (for example), which would be unlikely to hold up in court if a human had done it to bypass the license.

I would have expected that sessions are completely independent from each other, and don't magically inherit some (but not others) environment variables from when the first session was created. (Especially considering the first session

This is like saying "who raised their hand and asked for a language where any number of trivial mistakes allowed by the compiler will lead to massive security holes?" No one, and yet we have C and people use it. No one "asks&

Java is memory safe, at a runtime cost (sometimes that cost is trivial, sometimes it isn't). It will insert a check every time you do a pop. C++ is not. It's a precondition of calling pop_back() that the vector is not empty. It wi

To be fair, the assembly version seems to be missing about half the function, so it's not exactly a fair comparison.

I know little about this, but from reading the description this sounds like a replacement for the "server" side of it (running on the machine where the game is running), but the article is talking about ending support for the clie

The title never claims that it's playable, just that it runs. That said, I've played many games at <30 fps and low resolution in the past, due to not being able to buy the latest & greatest hardware - it's perfectly pl

Officially, AArch64 is the name of the 64-bit execution state. The instruction set is called A64, to contrast it with the pre-v8 instruction sets A32 and T32 (formerly known as Arm and Thumb). That said, in practice many people use them int

I was surprised that hotswapping SIMs works, I thought it was not supported. Many phones used to have the SIM under the battery (back when it was commonly removable), ensuring you couldn't remove it without powering the device off firs
