No, the bribe disk was round, this is hexagonal, big difference.

Sad to see, I was excited to switch to bcachefs on a new setup.

That’s also a 6 year old device man, it is amazing that a device with such an old battery is still running at all, I presume its been a daily driver all this time?

Depending on how degraded the original battery was it isn't necessarily placebo. If iOS detects a severely degraded battery it will clock down the CPU slightly to cope with it, sacrificing a little performance to keep the device stable

I 100% agree with this. Apple should be allowed to put whatever restrictions they want on apps in the App Store. The problem is they don't allow apps to come from anywhere else, this is the core of the issue and what everything event

But Tier 2 just says "all of it", which is why I was curious since it wasn't listed under Tier 1, but you're probably right, it would be absolutely insane if Apple were to try and pass off a deal like that as being in an

No I meant like APNS, which is what iOS uses to send notifications to iOS devices. It's the only way to get iOS to display a notification currently, and it isn't possible to register your own backend for it, so if you want notific

What Apple TV+ content aren’t we getting in the EU?

by rekoil 1y ago
Which would be fair game except to my knowledge there’s no API in iOS that enables the use of anything other than APNS for notifications. I could be mistaken though!

I think they should have a larger responsibility than that, but yeah I absolutely agree that once devices are no longer "supported", the manufacturer should be required to relinquish control to owners in a safe manner (e.g. Androi

You can have CarPlay on top of Android Automotive. Volvo and Polestar have gone this route for example.

When I have to deal with a SAS controller my go to is always to see if it's possible to flash it with IT (initiator/target) firmware so that it just becomes basically pass through disks for the OS to handle however it pleases.

Same here. There's one or two things I can't bear to cancel, but I've moved all my email from Google Workspaces to Proton, cancelled Netflix, cancelled plans to go to DEF CON, downgraded storage for Apple iCloud to just above

I think it's different from country to country, here in Sweden I think iMessage is reasonably popular, and people here generally go to Facebook Messenger rather than WhatsApp when it comes to cross-platform communication.

Off the top of my head I'm mainly thinking about `cut and paste` in Finder, that's a very common one people complain about, but other than that I'm curious what you're referring to if it's happening five times a day

It does always sound really crazy because in our minds 3D is more complex than 2D, but in reality 3D printing is actually really really simple, it's basically just 3 motors, a heat block, and an extruder, that's pretty much it. Wh

Xbox 360 is also a PowerPC architecture, which on its own makes it quite a bit different from normal PC hardware, and even if that's a target that's more common to emulate there's still heavy performance losses in doing so. I

You’re not wrong (in that I was insinuating something like that), but I’ll point out it’s an almost equally big assumption that we’re somehow going to find a trove of capable developers interested in devoting their careers to coding in anci

Yeah it's not an easy discussion for sure, but he has to say something. At the rate we're going here the existing kernel devs will alienate any capable new blood, and Linux will eventually become Google Linux(TM) as the old guard

As I understand it everything Rust is seen as "optional", so a CONFIG_RUST=n build that succeeds means a-OK, then some Rust person will do a CONFIG_RUST=y build, see it's broken, fix it, and submit a patch. I may be wrong, bu

by rekoil 2y ago
Which is a moot point because the agreement right now is that Rust code is allowed to break, so the C developer in question can just ignore Rust, and a Rust person will take care of it for them.

A parts manufacturer went bust at exactly the wrong time IIRC.
