This is glanceable from (and permanently resident in) the status bar and isn’t a TUI app. Although one may not see those as advantages…

I have a number of quality, 3rd party USB PD rated cables which work without issue on iPhone 16, iPad Mini 6g, MacBook Pro. Both with and without 1st party chargers. Admittedly the options for consumers in the USB-C space are a confusing me

I don’t think the guidelines need to be carted out here. Parent was making their argument reasonably, maybe you just dislike what they’re saying?

Duravit aren’t cheap, but are much cheaper than Toto (at least in the UK) whose pricing is kinda outrageous.

Having ISDN whilst most of my friends were on 56k made me really appreciate it. It connected silently and almost instantly, ping times were low with virtually no jitter, it was a consistent 64k whilst also leaving the phone line available (

Hardly the same. Your day to day DNA “leavings” aren’t neatly packaged up and associated with your other PII like name, location, email address, etc in a stolen, searchable dataset.

You’re not considering that the more muscle mass you have, the higher your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which means you burn more calories passively by just existing, let alone what you burn during exertion and recovery.

Nobody should follow this advice. Not least because you (the person giving it) wouldn’t have to live with the consequences of following it, but mostly because it’s idiotic.

That problem is solved by the Bootstap Token in modern macOS and MDMs which support it. The token gets escrowed with the MDM during enrolment and can be used to unseal the volume for updates without prompting for a password. Good for unatte

On macOS you can use pmset with the DestroyFVKeyOnStandby option to ensure that FDE key is purged from RAM on sleep.

Macs work well in enterprise and get better with each major release. If you’re referring to a completely air gapped lab environment, then not so much; most of the management functions are designed around having outbound internet access.

Don’t forget the dual Thunderbolt/USB 4.0 ports which can also do point-to-point networking at about 40Gbps. Planning on building a 3 node Proxmox cluster using TB as the fabric for Ceph and cluster traffic. Truly fantastic machines.

There’s a green or blue icon that gets displayed in the menu bar when something is recording the screen/audio or using webcam since a few major releases ago.

Corps can’t silently allow apps to have screen recording access. The user still has to allow the app access when it requests it. They can allow/block list certain apps from ever being allowed, but it’s still up to the user to enable it

They didn’t. Most orgs run with at least an n-1 Sensor version, with test groups for latest. This was essentially a definitions update pushed by Crowdstrike to all customers, regardless of the deployed sensor version.

Would love to know more, maybe some pointers to tools/utils for getting these more difficult games going. I haven’t had the time to go further than using Steam and Lutris, which covers most of what I play, but would be good to have mor

No, this came with Swift 3 back in 2016.

Yeah, I’m lucky in that I’m pretty stable now in which games I’m playing and they all run flawlessly via Proton or Lutris. It seems to mostly be the controversial kernel-level anticheats which don’t play ball or where devs don’t enable the

Grab a free trial of SetApp to try out a whole range of great Mac apps. If you like (and end up using) a lot of them, it may be worth paying the SetApp subscription, or buying the apps individually.

So you’re no different to anyone else who cheats at anything. You’ve come up with this whole philosophy and self aggrandising narrative about why you do what you do. But really you’re likely just covering for some weakness or feelings of im

Do they let you get to the login page if you’re on a VPN?

by newdee 3y ago
Which other VPNs? And are you talking about trad VPN (concentrators/hub & spoke)? If so, you wouldn’t be considering Tailscale anyway.
