Let's hope this turns out better than with Omnisec. Omnisec AG was a swiss company with (hidden) ties to US intelligence services [1] that produced manipulated encryption devices. Switzerland's military was also using Omnisec hard

Browsers can't execute Swift code. The books are loaded directly into the Swift Playgrounds app. As for links, there are very few subscriptions published – and probably none yet that work with Swift Playgrounds 4.0.

"The TDP of the [AMD 5850U] APU is specified at 15 Watt (default) and can be configured from 10 to 25 Watt by the laptop vendor (most chips are configured higher than 15 Watt)." [1] I'd love to see actual measurements for bot

Not only is it fast and inexpensive, it's also regular ethernet (no PON weirdness), so you can use any router you want – as long as it has an SFP28 port. ;)

My 16-inch MacBook Pro sleeps just fine. I assume you have Power Nap disabled and no devices attached that try to wake the MacBook?

Similar incident: On October 21, 2016, Belavia flight B2-840 from Kyiv to Minsk (of all places) was told to immediately return to the departure airport, or fighter jets would be scrambled [1]. They were only 50km from their destination coun

Chrome and derivates require the user's account password to view the stored passwords. Safari uses the macOS keychain and won't show passwords easily. The trick you mentioned only works on Macs without Touch ID and requires more w

This reminds me of the fact that Firefox, by default, allows anyone to view stored credentials – no authentication required, as no master password is set. It boggles my mind.

The article says 400 miles south of French Polynesia, so it's not cold water. Since he was able to see a football-sized fishing buoy, the water must have been very calm. Still extremely scary, imho.

Looks more like a russian company to me (with a mailbox in Switzerland). Pity; I wish there was more revolutionary engineering happening here.
