Thank you for dropping this link. I opened ghostty for the first same, then when preferences dropped me into a TUI editor with no syntax highlighting I closed it and reopened iTerm. I liked the idea of a fast new terminal, but not enough to

I recently tried whitelisting IPv6 prefixes at the network border and running straight IPv6 traffic from end to end. It works really well so long as there's an encrypted transport, although I'm a little annoyed that the routes are

The device is paid through a loan. That makes radio locks more preposterous, not less. Breaking a contract is far less serious than defaulting on a loan. And if the cell providers' argument is "we need radio locks because fraud,&q

The GP's concern isn't a practical one, it's ultimately about net neutrality. It's not the ISP's job to discriminate against traffic—it's their job to deliver it. This may seem like a good idea, and frankly is

There was a magical period. I suspect it ended with the introduction of the Secure Enclave. But maybe it was a little later. An encrypted iTunes backup of a device was a perfect image. Take the backup, pull the SIM card, restore the backup

Smoking is expensive, and people carry these in their pockets, and replace them within hours once they run dry. If there were a deposit scheme of say five bucks a piece, I'd wager you'd see >80% return rates with every purchase

I generally dislike anime and tend to reflexively roll my eyes when someone suggests I watch it, but I've been complaining about VLC for at least 15 years. Its main claim to fame is that it "plays everything," and it rose to

What's crazy is that I can't turn them off for my children. I complain about it to Google. They ignore it. They couldn't possibly give a shit. I should probably complain to my congressman. Who also won't do shit even if

Ohhh yes I remember that one. Diabolically clever. I'm sure there's also no user-controlled firewall to stop it on Android either.

You can often format as NTFS and have it work anyway, but it depends on whether or not the system UEFI firmware includes an NTFS driver. Rufus puts such a driver in its FAT32 boot partition and loads it before starting the winpe. It drives
