   I do wonder how it must feel to be a doctor who is one bad call away from being sued or revoked.

   Thanks I hadn’t realised from the post. Makes sense.

   Noble goal, but I want to point out that ARM recommends using UEFI as the standard way to boot. Then you can just boot whatever popular distro you want without weird tweaks. I’m not a fan of EFI but I think the downsides are less bad these

   Still not small enough. The 1st gen SE was perfect in size and easy to grip. The iPhone 13 mini is smaller but still easily falls out of my hand if I'm not paying attention. Alas, we live in the age of phablets.

   This is great. I've always wondered why this isn't the default behaviour for page saving in browsers. To an ordinary user saving a page implies saving a single file, not a file plus a directory of stuff. HAR can be useful but seem

    I think it's more likely that the MBA is simply renamed to Macbook. "Air" used to mean something but it doesn't anymore. The true successor of the MBP 13 is the 14. There is no reason to keep the 13 around.

    Absolutely. Whether it's ARM-based or RISC-V, nothing will stop high-end SoC vendors from developing closed hardware blocks or firmware, especially if they have customers from the DRM space (CA vendors).

    Am I the only one who thinks the 1994 one looks nicer?
14. 374.▲

    Hmm I have been using low power mode since day 1 and it still isn't doing as well as the Air. I guess fewer efficiency cores will do that. I've removed all the x86 apps to maximize efficiency, but I'm still just under 14 hour

    I traded my M1 MBA for the new MBP 14 and I'm feeling regretful. The weight of the MBA and its 16+ hour battery life, just incredible.

    Arcades in America and Europe have essentially been dead for a long time, which has to be a reason why Microsoft doesn't own any. But in Japan arcades were still thriving until recently. Unfortunately, times are tough.

    I learnt C around the same time when I was learning Python and I don't believe it had much of an impact on the latter. Unless you're building a Python interpreter, I don't see how it can help with learning the language. While

    Is this a short term issue or is nobody working on docker-compose 3.x compatibility?

    Agreed. > Perhaps a faint idea of drones deliveries, balloon weather projects, AR/VR tech, failed chat apps, quantum something, and a lot of PR. This line dismisses the huge achievements in quantum engineering as "quantum somet

    Indeed. Almost all the industrial research companies have a lab outside the U.S. for maximizing talent acquisition and for other useful things like local funding and tax reasons.

    This isn’t a digital signature or anything like that. Instead, it’s increasing the size of pointers to include bounds and permission rights (R/W/X/etc), plus an extra tag stored somewhere else to prevent forgeries or mitigate

    RISC-V is not immune to Spectre and Meltdown because these are implementation vulnerabilities. Any CPU implementation that uses out-of-order and speculative execution has to constantly worry about introducing these holes.

    People hate Windows 11 because Microsoft have decided that most hardware, including many powerful workstations, are not eligible to upgrade.

    I'm just pointing out that you assume Apple deployed unaudited code, just because the code had a bug. I would not make that assumption.

    Audited code can still have bugs.

    I can already envisage some poor Valve employee who's going through each ProtonDB entry to make individual workarounds for the Steam Deck release.
