   > how is downloading a JS version and running that any better? That's not really what this app seems to do. When you run an application on this neverinstall product, it doesn't magically transpile the native app into JavaScript

   Neat! This does seem algebraically coherent. Unfortunately, it just doesn't make intuitive sense to my lizard brain. Cool trick anyway, thanks for clearing it up!

   A few thoughts: Apple's Face ID takes a 2-dimensional infrared image of your face as well as projects 30,000 IR dots to form a 3D depth map of the face. It feeds this into a NN in a separate Secure Enclave processor to determine whethe

   Oh. I thought your point was that their inclusion criteria were too narrow (.edu only) and as such did not include all universities. I remember this wording irritating me when I was a k-12 student myself. I would get excited at "Free f

   Pegasus does indeed play catchup. They seem to constantly introduce new vulnerabilities, each more advanced than the last. The whole operation is incredibly sophisticated—this report [0] by Amnesty International is a great read. They also c

   My thinking is this: 1. Exploitation inherently relies on malicious input data. 2. In computer systems, any input data (especially in human-facing systems) is not logically useful to the software until parsed. 3. Thus, a parser is the first

   To the my inner armchair security enthusiast, a good solution looks like this: On incoming message, check one thing and one thing only: is the sender in the contact list? If YES... + Run the message through BlastDoor and continue a

    I know. I have an M1 and and it hardly ever throttles. I was making a point to the OP though

    FYI, the one M1 MacBook which throttles under heavy load is the MacBook Air, which is actually a 1k laptop ($999). The MacBook Pro has fans and basically never throttles as I understand from others.

    I just signed up to the "free for individual students and educators" plan using an .ac.uk domain (the UK equivalent of the US' .edu). Perhaps your problem is more of an edge case? What is the TLD you are trying to use?

    This is neat. I expected something which had a predefined dictionary of ASCII shapes along with manual SVG translations... but this tool is dynamic. It really does create the shapes as you draw them. Super cool!

    Are you really trying to paint the fact that the younger generation is taking greater steps to systematically take care of their health as a bad thing? That is absurd.

    Supposedly, the risk of long COVID is not correlated to the severity of symptoms. That’s a bad thing.

    This is also something that kind of breaks my brain. It's always impressive to see Copilot-"authored" code which seems complex, coherent, (and most of the time, functional), and Google it to zero previous results. How is it t

    Wow. I found a video of this exhibition on YouTube, and it looks like what this guy installed is less pure spyware and more a remote administration tool (RAT). After he took the photos he wanted, he remotely uploaded them to every computer

    Somewhat unrelated, but as a Notion lover and engineer I was so relieved when the team added native inline LaTeX support to the product. Gone are the days where we had to contend with ugly Unicode characters or italicised Times New Roman

    The first website you cite, Climate Depot, is severely biased toward right-wing anti climate science agendas, and has been classified as "conspiracy-pseudoscience" by Media Bias/Fact Check. They further comment that "Ov

    Apart from questionable changes to the user interface, I don’t see how Apple have been “dumbing down” macOS in terms of usability so dramatically. Could you point to some concrete examples?

    The claims you mention are backed by eight (8) sources. Additionally, there has been extended discussion on the Wikipedia talk page for this article about this exact "neutrality" issue. You should have a read https://en
