I ran memtest+ for a weekend every 3 months or so on 64GB DDR4 Ryzen system for 2+ years and haven't found anything. Rock solid system, which has been on almost 24/7. No data loss that I can verify with backups. I think the point

To answer my own question, an ad-hoc signed iOS App will deactivate after 7 days unless you pay $99/yr. This behaviour is not present on Big Sur and likely M1 Macs, they can still run notarized and non-notarized apps: https:/&#x2

My question was about MacOS and if similar behaviour exists there too with the M1 Macs. To clarify iOS, so the app erases itself after 7 days? Or is it something like you can install an app for only 7 days after downloading/using Xcode

Maybe apps should be signed and issued certs by neutral authorities like SSL certs are issued (like Let's Encrypt).. Maybe also issue bulk cert updates with OS updates or virus scan updates like browser updates bring SSL root cert upda

With iOS, you have to be an Apple developer paying $99/yr to do ad-hoc signing, I'm guessing it's the same now for MacOS..

Looking at trends, which is easy to do on real clear politics, you could have seen the Senate was going to be extremely close, and the presidency, while not the blowout everyone expected thanks to 538, would still favor Biden. Here's o

In general I think racism and misogyny will need to be disarmed in ways that they haven't been in the past. Nextdoor and Reddit might be best examples which Twitter and Facebook could follow. Increasing friction to post/repost, mo

This seems curious, any unlocked phone regardless of OS should work on any network. Tech support should be able to help you with connection issues, and if not, I would try a different carrier.

News readers can demand the truth either way (ad-funded, government-funded, corporation-funded, or reader-funded), and they're probably most likely to get it when they pay for it directly. It's the least worst way to get your news

For general news, I would still prefer the common touchstone, and diversity of an Economist, FT, Post or NYT. Each of these papers has their weak and strong points (ie. some have covered tech better than others). In more specialized fields,

EFI as a standard needs to be better implemented, but TPMs are your friend when you can change the keys. I switched back to desktops when the 1st gen Ryzen 8-cores came out and haven't regretted it for a second. Bigger screens, beefy s

This could work if AMD invested a ton in software like Intel has with OneAPI. But, if AMD really wants to get into a new market, it could try going into mobile. The 4000-series CPUs are great laptops CPUs which could go further down the sca

The 1800X was $500 (top of the line 3 years ago), though the 1700 was $330, and the street prices were often lower. Raising prices to compensate for more demand seems like a rational thing to do, the 3000-series did have stock problems. I&#

The system you describe seems close to Jib [1] or Nixery [2], which are dependency-aware tools built on top of Docker. I think neither they nor the prototype you've described could be as distro/language-agnostic as Docker and ostr
