All of the Private Cloud Compute stuff they are working on runs on their own Apple Silicon server hardware. https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom&#x2

I actually wasn’t referring to abortion, rather taking any of the various steps you can take to avoid having children if you don’t want them. Especially the second time around.

Seems like the "right decision" should have happened a little earlier. Or at least before repeating the mistake a second time.

If changing fonts once was a wasteful empty gesture that they used to pat themselves on the back and which didn't benefit anyone, then isn't changing it a second time the exact same thing?

Sounds like a great area to advocate for improvement.

It's economically infeasible for a large percentage of people to drive in a dense urban area, period. That's true even without congestion pricing. A city would go broke and bulldoze itself trying to add enough stacked lane, highwa

Yes, but measuring miles per volume of fuel and setting increasing targets was a big focus of reducing petroleum dependency since the 70s. The focus has more recently shifted to reducing overall emissions of CO2 and other harmful gases and

The rich were driving before, and are still driving. The difference is that now they are paying for that service they were already using, and those funds are going to public transit which serves the majority of New Yorkers especially those

Diesel looks good if you are focusing primarily on fuel economy (mpg / L/100km), and when companies cheat the tests on other emissions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal When you remo

When I had one piece of birthday cake it was "a celebration" but now when I eat two entire cakes by myself it's "gluttony" and "concerning for my health." Makes sense.

Yes, that is what I was alluding to. But, I do think it might actually be a net positive for them on the Mac by expanding the audience of people who might buy a Mac. Given that full PC-Game-style game sales via the Mac App Store are likely

Yep. I know Apple has little motivation to support such a project but it would be great to see them work with Valve on this. Having the majority of Steam games "just work" on modern Macs, like they do on the Steam Deck, would be f

I think they're wishing for something like the Proton/Fex combination for running x86 Windows games on ARM Macs, like they already do for Linux.

The idea is that if their salary does not actually cover the expenses of living in and traveling to DC to do their job, you are limiting the pool of potential congressional representatives to those who are independently wealthy or who are f

Sure, but we already have consumer devices with root access that have radio transmitters. Is this a common problem with laptops? Why would it be a larger problem with smartphones?
200.
by stetrain 11mo ago
My point is that transmitting whatever you want doesn't mean the devices around you will "blow up", devices also have controls on how they receive radio transmissions. A malicious transmitter could likely jam signals, but thi

Laptops are regulated on their radio transmissions. Just not on which games you are allowed to install.

Can you show an example of a phone blowing up its battery with the potential to hurt people because of a harmful radio signal? This seems like something the phone should be able to handle. People already have root access on devices with rad

The same can be done with a laptop, and millions of idiots carry those around.

There isn't much of a business model in paying developers for a year for updates that won't generate more revenue. If I told my boss that I wanted to spend 12 months refactoring our entire system in ways that would benefit our exi

Even before you get to "value to shareholders" you have to actually pay your developer salaries to update the game. Where does that money come from when you're updating a game that's been on the market for 10 years and s

Of course you can swap cables or adapt. I was taking about the cables these devices come with. I’m all about the USB-C lifestyle but PC gaming peripherals are still pretty dominated by USB-A.

Yep, that basically guarantees this as a purchase for me. It's basically a Quest 3 with some improvements, an open non-Meta OS, and the various WiFi and Streaming app issues fixed to make it nearly as good as a wired headset.

How is that meaningfully different than not being able to tell that it's foveated?

The site has been updated, it says "Announced on Steam — not out yet." The headset isn't being released until early 2026.

> this will need to be charged after a few hours of use. I think you're mixing up the controller and headset batteries. The controllers use AA batteries and should last for potentially months of use. The headset itself uses a rechar
