Great work on the integrated terminal. I'be been waiting for this. Might even fire up Windows 10 with Ubuntu shell and see how everything works together.

Yes, except thanks to the wild card that is technology, seemingly towards its own destruction.

Dual gigabit Ethernet ports and USB 3 round out the impressive X-15's impressive features. It's not available yet but should be by the end of the month or early July based on the wiki. If it runs OpenBSD I might choose it over Soe

I'd call it an almost complete breakdown of the parliamentary process in this country. The unwillingness of Congress to advise and consent with regard to filling a supreme court vacancy is unprecedented and the media is essentially ign

I really like my new puri.sm laptop (the librem 13") ... especially the fact that it doesn't require any non-free bits in the distribution (in my case, debian stretch). I know some folks have issues with the fact that there are no

I'm using IntelliJ with the golang plugin at the moment and am spoiled by the integrated terminal. A quick Google search seems to indicate that the atom editor has a terminal plugin so maybe that would be a good basis for a port. VS Co

I have the puri.sm librem 13" and really like it. The only issue I have so far is that I have to build a custom kernel if I want to use the more advanced touchpad features on a stock debian install.

The only thing holding me back is the lack of an integrated terminal. This is absolutely essential to my *nix workflow and I can't for the life of me imagine a reason to not include it. Otherwise, I love what I'm seeing here.

Just a follow-up to correct the record as much as possible. I believe this motorcade was related to the Prime Minister of Malaysia's visit to Apple per the following tweet. Hat tip to the redditor @frenvedd over on r/apple for thi

Honestly, I didn't feel at liberty to ask and none were volunteered. I've been hoping someone from Apple would pick up on this thread and post them here.

Nicholas Merrill famously fought a 11 year legal battle (and finally won) the right to reveal all aspects of a National Security Letter (NSL) served to him. Almost all such letters are accompanied by a complete gag order. https:/&#x2F

According to my source at Apple HQ a TV van is on the way. We should see some news coverage soon with any luck.

According to @HillRat in the other thread : "Based on open sources, NSA has a fleet of about 100 vehicles at most in CONUS, so they would be more likely to fly vehicles cross-country if DIRNSA needed to use a fleet vehicle. Having said

This is a completely fair comment and my source certainly isn't fully aware of the situation...they just relayed what they saw out the window and some discussion among staff. I wanted to make sure this information was recorded for post

A friend of mine at Apple reported multiple Black Vehicles (Lincoln Town Cars and Escalades) with at least one having MD License Plates at the Apple Executive Briefing Center this morning between 11AM and Noon. Occupants had ear pieces and

At least one car had MD plates. I don't think the source could see all of them clearly enough to make them all out.

Also the motorcade was there for a very short period of time...under an hour. Usually VIP visits involve meet-and-greets, etc... Maybe they were delivering an NSL as you hinted at?

I thought that it might be a Secret Service detail of some sort but the timing with Tim's response to the FBI demand led me to jump to this conclusion. Well, that and that was the feeling I got from the source on campus...they were def

Source indicates cars are leaving now. Nothing on the twitters so far. Hopefully someone will chime in soon. If I see anything in my news feed I'll post it here.

I've contacted the San Jose Mercury News...hopefully they can get a reporter on site to photograph what must be a very intimidating moment for the folks at Apple.

Yes, that's my understanding. Deeply disturbing news IMHO.

Sources at Apple are reporting multiple Black Vehicles with MD License Plates at Apple Executive Briefing Center this AM. Multiple CHP escorts. Men with ear pieces and sun glasses. Rumor is MD license plate indicates NSA involvement. If any

This. It's damning. I was an attentive nerd when this and the Stacker scandal went down and I was outraged. I've been a staunch open source advocate ever since. Microsoft's willingness to sabotage competitor's software i
