The two main things that people jailbreak consoles for are dumping games to emulate on PC and running homebrew. Microsoft explicitly supports the latter use case with Dev mode and for all but a couple games (only Halo 5 nowadays?) explicitl

I thought that this proposal was broadly opposed by Swiss political parties, is this not accurate? Is there a realistic chance of this passing or is it all sound and heat?

The 1500 hour rule was instituted by congress at the request of pilots unions not the FAA or any other regulator. Europe only requires 250 hours and has a similar aviation safety track record to the US in the 21st century.

I think all of the dot com boom companies other than the shovel sellers like MS and Cisco were not profitable in the 90s? Not even future behemoths like Amazon.

At the rate the hyperscalers are increasing capex anything less than 1990s internet era growth rates will not be pretty. So far its been able to sustain those growth rates at the big boy AI companies (look at OpenAI revenue over time) but w

Booster was not intended to be recovered. They said before launch they were intentionally testing how far they could push it until it exploded so they knew what the true limits are.

Yeah that was sorta what I was thinking is there a clever way to exploit light interacting with matter to turn the gate on/off.

I wonder if considerably more engineering and research effort will be applied here when we reach the limit of what silicon and electrons can do.

E2EE’s biggest use case is preventing the government from reading your messages. If you are messaging the government (or are in the government) then this isn’t relevant.

Kidnapping for ransom used to be big business for US organized crime. Then the law changed to basically outlaw paying ransoms (all negotiations had to go through the FBI) and while a few people died, kidnapping for ransom in the US largely

Before the release of Gemini 2.5 Grok 3 was the best coding AI IME, especially when you used reasoning. It also complained the least about things you asked it to do. Gemini for instance still won’t tell you how to use yt-dlp.

Yeah my point was more we probably don't really need more stringent industrial safety standards if we have gotten deaths due to industrial accidents down so low. The cost/benefit tradeoff isn't there anymore.

I watch those USCSB videos too and the takeaway I have is that even with these sorts of fuckups there are a single digit or low double digit number of people killed in industrial accidents each year in a country of 350 million. That suggest

The concern is if you lose your devices with E2EE enabled then you are locked out permanently. Grandma won't know how to use a Yubikey (which is the alternative Apple provides for this eventuality with ADP enabled) and will be out of l
