Yup. But the beacon packets have been designed to be extremely efficient and the finder protocol your device would occasionally use is super lightweight.

The "11:11 on the clock" story has also been repeated by millions of people for decades. That many people fall prey to a cognitive bias does not make it any less of a bias.

Paradoxically, that backfires. If we only let a small subset of users disable WebGL... well, having WebGL disabled _becomes_ the identifying characteristic.

Your comment misses the point completely.

Not everyone is in a position where they can do that.

I don't know that it's accurate to describe beheadings and child porn as "real human nature". The scum of nature, perhaps.

This isn’t a “thought crime”, it’s just painfully unfunny and doesn’t belong in a discussion between mature adults.

Yes, Ethernet frames are CRC'd but some (most?) memory isn't. The web address is bit-flipped in memory , and then the network stack generates a valid Ethernet frame using the already corrupted address.

Weird, I can’t reproduce that at all. Swiping between desktops is just as (if not more responsive than) Catalina. What is your model?

You can block access to private APIs at the kernel level without any manual review--in fact, blocking private APIs is about the easiest thing to automate.

I may be wrong, but I don't think the iOS sandbox allows apps to poke around that much.

In my anecdotal experience, it does not. The logic goes: - Assert that a face is present. - Is wearing mask? > If yes, proceed with Watch unlock (irrespective of top of face). > If no, attempt Face ID scan.

What? This has most definitely been happening on Android for almost a decade. That app ecosystem is a mess.

I’ve used TikTok, and the way its algorithm made me feel is unparalleled. It’s truly something else. I’m not sure how it does it, but it’s one of the only apps where one truly feels they have a live being behind the screen watching and twea

Unfortunately, it's easy for governments to criminalise owning Starlink terminal equipment. Also, Starlink may be legally forced to deny service to users in certain geographical regions.

This is perhaps an unpopular opinion, but why do you think sites such as these deserve any sort of high place on a search engine? The goal of a search engine is to present results which are -useful- to a user. These "independent web&qu

I can't be the only one who immediately thought of libraries in the context of software development.

I think the idea is that if they use audible frequencies, the user will, well, _hear_ them.

That is amazing.

The comment doesn't strike me as particularly hostile, but the "creep" characterisation is questionable.

I'm genuinely interested in why you think he is a creep?

It’s debatable whether his final two tweets directly called for violence.

That's running purely in usermode, and nothing was broken in this demonstration, the touch bar is being used "as intended"
