This is true, but how long will firm load shed events last, and how many of them will happen? In California, when CAISO has events that lead to firm load shedding, they're predictable, rolling blackouts and everyone knows how long they

I looked at this search and for the record, there are records from years ago, and nothing recently. Out of 58 posts, only 5 of them (approx) seem to be from the last year. I see random comments on some threads "asking" for a refun

Steam pays developers their cut from sales, which is probably what they’re referring to.

I think you really need to make a card that isn’t a Visa or MasterCard or a QR payments system that’s wired to common banks. I don’t think anyone has suggested creating a payment processor without this, because the issue is with Visa/M

The UK is quickly deploying surveillance state technology that people once decried China for. Whether or not this is ethical or useful, I wish the hypocrisy would be acknowledged. The OSA, the Apple encryption demands, LFR, …, it’s clearly

I was a really big fan of taskwarrior for the simple reason that it did do an approximation of telling you the best thing by calculating urgency, based on a simple weighting method where "the most urgent tasks" blocked other tas

I find it moderately amusing that it seems like this ships with Chromium instead of Firefox, and doesn't note this anywhere in the manual. The manual just says "Browser" but like, really. I also find that this is definitely t

I think this is a net good in the long term. Even if you completely exclude obvious benefits, like being able to support more APIs than Safari, it forces Apple to actually compete with other browsers and implement things if they start getti

Just because you can provision Felica cards outside of Japan doesn't mean that you can actually use them. It's not really global support if you can add Suica in the US and then not use it. More likely is that Felica Networks agree
226.
by Shank 1y ago
FeliCa Networks support is the direct result of the fact that mobile transit and mobile payments use in Japan predates the iPhone. Mobile Suica and Osaifu-Keitai already existed, and Apple needed to compete. It started with Japanese SKU iPh

That may be true but I thought the promise was moving in the direction of AGI/ASI/whatever and that models would become more capable over time.

That doesn’t sound good. It sounds like OpenAI will route my request to the cheapest model to them and the most expensive for me, with the minimum viable results.

What will it break? You can stay out of date but you’re more vulnerable to security vulnerabilities and less stuff works.

I’ve found this to be the case, but I absolutely do not consider this acceptable. It’s just uncontrolled memory use. I also experience this on Safari though, so I suspect it’s a WebKit issue.

This is, quite unironically, the type of development I wish Apple would pursue for macOS. It's 2025 and focus stealing is still a topic we can have a serious conversation about. Why? "I want to use my computer without random popup

This realistically doesn’t work that well above anything like a micro scale. It’s also a crime to mail cash across many borders, so it only really works domestically.

I don’t think there’s a high false positive rate on these. They do happen pretty rarely, and a false negative is far worse than a false positive. Due to the tsunami wave propagation, it can sometimes take hours for significant waves to reac

A passkey is not a single string? A passkey is a public private key pair where the private key is never sent to a server and signs things.

You’re basically correct that apps can use a special mode where they require Face ID to be re-enrolled if anything changes about the credential store. Technically speaking it’s opt-in, but most banking apps use this mode.

On the contrary: If Project Zero finds a 0-day in a product I know I use, and I know that product is Internet Facing, I can immediately take action and firewall it off. It isn't always the case that they find things like this, but an e

As someone who has tried and failed to upload 2gb files on mobile data, only for the upload to fail at the last minute, this genuinely makes me want to play with it. There aren’t a lot of good drop-in solutions like this.
