You can use any Roomba without connecting it to WiFi/Bluetooth. You lose the ability to manage it with your phone, though.

You don’t have to connect the Roomba to the Internet. My 690 isn’t connected and it works fine.

I haven’t connected mine to the Internet. It still works, you just can’t control it or get diagnostics through your phone.

Weirdly, the nasal pillows don't work for me — my AHI is higher when I use them instead of my nose mask. Fortunately, the masks/pillows aren't super expensive, so folks can experiment.

Yeah, that was my thought too. This is more like “veil_except”. That said, “unveil” is good enough.

Could you elaborate? I'm curious to read specifics.

The permissions model is the same as the cameras. I think the visual-spectrum cameras provide _a lot_ more sensitive data than the rough facial depth data. What does your phone “see” on a daily basis? Have you taken your phone into the bath

Are any apps already doing this? Facial recognition isn't exactly exotic technology, and pretty much all phones has a front facing camera these days. Face ID really doesn't change that.

Apple has repeatedly stated that Touch ID and Face ID data does not leave the device, including for backups. “Face ID data doesn’t leave your device and is never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else.” ( https://support.apple.com&#

I don't remember seeing any attended laundromats when I lived in SF in 2013. I was in the Nob Hill area. Somebody did come by to close them, and there was generally a number you could call if a machine ate your quarters. When I moved t

Thanks. I was kind of surprised about how articulate President Trump was. It would be nice if that were noted somewhere on the page (maybe it is on the desktop site — I'm on mobile).

It's ridiculous how well the 2013 MBP does. Of course, the last four years have had much less focus on core performance, or even on putting more cores into pro-sumer machines. Apple in particular is all about thinness, battery life, an

Nautilus customer service: “Not commercial ads, but it does feature a few science organizations or sponsors.”

Does the print edition contain ads?

Looks like this was patched a while ago in both RedHat and Debian distros. https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2016-10229 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-10229

I get 120 Mbps down on a 75 Mbps Xfinity plan. I think. My bill says I have “Performance Pro Internet”, which appears to be specced for 75 Mbps download. I'm using an Arris (née Motorola) SB6183 modem. fast.com and speedtest.net both r

Go feels like a beefed up version of C. Swift feels like a high level language with static typing. Interestingly, Swift doesn't feel much like Obj-C.

> And don't forget that even with the driving, everything takes less time. What do you mean by "take less time"? My experience doesn't bare that out, but we might be thinking about very different things. For context:

I've only been using it for 30 minutes, but so far it's great! Being able to map a domain with all its subdomains to a category would be awesome. I access a whole bunch of hosts in an internal domain, and they're all producti

I don't see where you get that. There is a struct function. That said, the only difference between a struct and a class is that struct member defaults to public, and class members default to private.

> DNS queries are not leaked. I imagine that you mean the proxy takes care of resolving hosts. For example, requesting https://google.com doesn't resolve google.com. on the client, rather it sends a request for https:&#

No, allow us to enter a hostname instead of an IP address to look up. Obviously a hostname could resolve to multiple IPs or no IPs, but that's a solvable problem.

Because you may need to put those words in a repo in a non-offensive context. For example, a list of "bad" words to look for.

Lovely. I haven't got Yosemite, yet, but I wonder what happens when you disable api.smoot.apple.com (say via /etc/hosts)?

I agree with all your points. I think the real bug is that all this stuff calls out to a shell at all. Sure, it's convenient, but it's basically eval().

I'm curious, too, since it seems to be completely unmentioned. Did they take atheists and agnostics into account at all? I can't tell. It doesn't answer the question, but Wikipedia has some interesting information on "ir

There was a restriction on VMs, but they've since eased up on that. I imagine it was because of the Hackintosh thing. I'm reasonably confident the OS didn't actively try to detect that it was running in a VM, but VMware Fusio
