Have you never gone on vacation and forgotten your daily-use password upon return?

No, you were just plain wrong. You said “never”, when in reality BitLocker and FileVault both have optional escrow.
126.
by dcrazy 3mo ago
FileVault absolutely has an optional iCloud Keychain escrow. That’s how the “unlock with Apple Account” feature works. Apple doesn’t have the keys for iCloud Keychain, but it is still stored in iCloud.

Hah, this sounds like the audio equivalent of Netflix’s grain reconstruction.

Yes, bit depth headroom is very useful for audio production to avoid aliasing. Pro DAWs support 96KHz.

Whether the code compiles to assembly is orthogonal to whether the program can function without runtime support. Compiled Rust code that relies on syscalls will not function on a “bare metal” microcontroller.

More specifically, from the EOS page: > Data is stored natively in XFS filesystems on hard disks or SSDs or on virtualised back-end storage (e.g. RADOS block devices) or distributed filesystems like Lustre or CephFS.

Can you define “abject poverty”?

It really bums me out that Mercedes still only offers self-driving on the S class sedan.

So they restricted it to zero? Not saying I agree with the plaintiffs.

> People will buy it because people still have DDR4 hardware The question is whether there’s enough meaningful demand for aftermarket DDR4 upgrades to make it worthwhile to a manufacturer to keep producing DDR4 instead of switching to HB

Yes, the gas station example is directly cited in the article I linked to. It’s legal for a gas station owner, with knowledge and consideration of a competitor’s price, to reduce their price to the same or just below. What is illegal is for

> An agreement to restrict production, sales, or output is just as illegal as direct price fixing, because reducing the supply of a product or service drives up its price. For example, the FTC challenged an agreement among competing oil

I haven’t been on Twitter since before Elon took over. Do most users ever interact with Grok?

They don’t get punished at the polls because people accept, or are at least willing to entertain the implication, that the left wing dislikes America. And what sense does it make to vote for an unpatriotic politician? Would you want to work

Public transport can’t keep them clean. BART famously had disgusting carpets until the 2010s.

This is why the right gets away with saying liberals hate America. Because as long as there is anything to criticize about America (which there always will be), some people simply cannot make a single truly positive statement about America,

I live near one of the world’s largest grid scale battery facilities. It was in the news last year for catching fire and filling the air with lithium. [0] So I’m aware of the technology’s existence. But I also know that it’s still a very yo

There are many facets of “viability”: technical, economic, political. There is obviously some reason why new gas plants are being built instead of renewables with storage.
150.
by dcrazy 3mo ago
My understanding is that you can turn gas plants on and off very quickly, and they can run at any time of day. That makes them excellent suppliers for peak demand. For much of the year, the evening peak occurs when the sun is not shining an
