I think it does to put them on the new tab page, at least.

This is really cool. Is there documentation somewhere of what exactly the compute hardware looks like inside? 2 CPUs and 4GB of RAM, but is it x86 or ARM (I presume x86, but since it has to be on battery power..)? What size of EC2 instance

This isn't awesome for Apple, PR wise, as next week they are expected to announce the Mac moving to ARM. "Come on! Bring your apps! What do you mean you don't want to invest in porting? What do you mean you're scared of

It'd be impossible for Google Analytics to not collect data from a incognito tab without it knowing that it is incognito somehow (like if Chrome attached a header to all outgoing requests that said incognito=1 or something). But then w

Yes. Spotify did this for a while, as I recall.

VoIP apps? How is an email app any different? And Outlook for iOS has an Exchange client (and is aimed at people using Outlook online), but you can’t spin up Exchange in there. (I guess you could hook up Gmail to it too, but that’s not what

Microsoft would probably make them available if this were to happen, since they'd have to do work to get Windows running on the A-series chips anyway. If Apple wants it (and is willing to help, because some way of breaking their secure

The feature set would be extremely difficult to clone via IMAP + SMTP without being confusing. One of the major features is that you can change the subject that is displayed on an incoming email, and that it won't be changed when you r

Reminds me of that bit from The Simpsons: Marge: "I'm sure your insurance will cover the house." Maude: "Uh, well, no. Neddy doesn't believe in insurance. He considers it a form of gambling."

Without the requisite infrastructure (SCCM or Intune, honestly, to make it sing), this isn't recommended. No Microsoft Store means no WSL distros (without fiddling), no updates to system applications (maybe you like this), no Windows T

pyenv[0] is designed to automate what you had to do. You install it + the libs for your distro[1], type pyenv global $VERSION into your terminal, and don't think about it anymore. venvs are made from the current version, and work exact

In a similar vein, wubi-uefi[0] is a fork of the original Wubi project, made to be compatible with newer versions of Ubuntu-based distros and newer versions of Windows. Upside is that it uses the built in Windows bootloader, so you don&#x27

But that’s specifically for Secure Enclave work (disk encryption, biometric data). I don’t think they’d want to risk someone running arbitrary code there and breaking the sandbox. (The SEP is also separate from the A-series chip in the iPho

The same way you measure anybody else: performance reviews, which are usually executed around here by an administrator or 2 coming to observe a class every semester. Coupled with standardized tests as a secondary measurement, it's pret

Odd. Did you run gpupdate /force afterwards? I've deployed it to Pro boxes before with no issues.

I mean, HN isn’t really relevant as an asset to ycombinator besides a advertising asset, right? It has a couple million monthly users, maybe 1 new feature a year, and runs on a single core. It’s more of a demonstration of Arc than anything,

Out of curiosity, do they include hardware to actually use it? When Comcast came around here trying to get people to sign up for 2Gbps they required a couple thousand up front and for you to rent a PCIe card for your PC to actually get the

There’s a fairly good plugin for JetBrains IDEs called “Key Promoter X” that reminds you whenever you do an action (click build, open a terminal, change directories) of the keyboard shortcut to do that same thing. It’s very handy for gettin

I think they are referring to it not having Intel ME or TrustZone (which is present in AMD chips and ARM chips), which could allow the processor manufacturer to run code that you don't know about. Of course, there's no Power syste

How? Are they going to do two classes per teacher (so each class gets 3 hrs with the teacher), or get more teachers? Or will most schools just run online only?

The really annoying thing about snaps is that they pollute the mountpoints on the system. I’ve had as many as 100 mounts on a box after installing just a few snaps, which is super annoying if you ever want to try to get an idea of disk usag

Apple does it internally, since they can turn off the mechanisms that stop macOS from booting on non-Apple hardware (last I heard on HN, they ran it on HP workstations?). I'd imagine that if you got JAMF, Adobe, and Microsoft in a room

I'm curious if they have a farm of iPhones somewhere to host this off of. They are sending the iMessages from phone numbers -- not email addresses, which means they didn't just get a bunch of Mac Minis and do it the (probably easi

It uses some combination of the serial number and the NIC (at least on Macs, probably not on iOS) to authenticate with Apple. That's why it's fiddly on Hackintoshes. They couldn't use the enclave because not all currently sup
