It's really frustrating that there is no ability to reclaim the drive space in MacOS 27, especially on Macbooks with M1 or M2 chips that can barely use the models. Another great sign of how the OS is deeply on fire IMO.

You can literally just buy a Sony and do this. And several other manufacturers that run Google TV can be switched to dumb mode.

The EDID is just a model identifier and some capability metadata, it can't tell Windows to do anything. It's Windows that decides that it should download a driver from Windows Update because it recognises it hasn't got a driv

I doubt you will get many long term Mac users disagreeing that the attention to detail has got consistently worse every year since Lion. Trying to push poorly done, rushed UI frameworks to match iOS in the wrong form factor has trashed the

I genuinely don't recall the last time I saw one of those that didn't require me to at least go to a registration page to accept the terms and conditions in order to actually transmit any traffic.

When was the last time you saw a completely open residential wifi access point in the wild? This seems a little like worrying about getting Dodo poisoning.

It's an open poll on a website with no sampling and no detection for bad actors. For goodness sake, this is literally useless. It tells us nothing. Even a games website should be embarrassed of it's journalism trying to run this a

The announcement only seems to have been sent to users in the UK and MoviesAnywhere is a US only service. Also StudioCanal are ultimately the rightsholder who would need to join MoviesAnywhere, and they are not members. (I am a bit surprise

The fact this letter takes aim at something the paper doesn't say is pretty damning. The paper alledges that a series of high entropy identifying metadata about the users system is passed to a very large amount of third parties, includ

Individual self employed photographers successfully use the DMCA to get significant payouts from large publishers and news organisations every single day. Like literally hundreds of thousands, every day.

No there aren't, because having identical builds of games with Denuvo actually removed and present is vanishingly rare. If you compare a game that's had significant performance patches over a period of years and had Denuvo removed

That only works in the context of when the sender isn't the adversary, which isn't the case in an age verification system - it very much does treat the sender as the enemy and untrusted. And again, the revocation chain on the back

Twitter only supported 2FA using a mobile number for several years, so they quite possibly have that. People are not always good at infosec for convenience, and Twitter's design for this was incompetent even before Musk's acquisit
