Carbon Black will block any executables it pulls down though. And I think it may also block scripts as well. Executables have to be whitelisted before they can run. Its an extremely strict approach, but it does address the situation you&#x2

I think Synology lets you do that? I'm sure I've seen someone running things like Pihole on them. Not necessarily as integrated as you're talking about though. https://www.synology.com/en-uk/dsm/feat

So I can park money in a corporate entity and then use it to buy everything for me? This seems like an amazing loophole. Never extract your cash from a company and you never pay tax!

That should be an informed decision. If users are happy to pay extra to Apple for convenience of use, then they should be aware of what is happening. If 95%, like you say, are happy to pay extra, then it should be no problem for Apple to al

Is that just the website? Is there a way to export the raw data?

In my opinion, Apple have a choice. They go down the "just works", tight integration and lower the fees for other developers OR they open up for competition and keep the fees. At the moment they're double dipping. They'r

This is from a long time ago, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Amazon app isn't on the Android store? I can see how having a single store improves user experience. However, Apple playing both sides by saying the

I'm in a similar situation. High earner, not expecting much in inheritance. It feels like sitting on PAYE is the worst possible tax option. Sitting on large amounts of wealth is super easy, its just impossible to get there. > The tw

My understanding is that with AMD64 there's a circular dependency where AMD need Intel for x86 and Intel need AMD for x86_64?

This may be out of date now, but friends in Singapore told me about their system and it sounded like a good idea. They have a low base tax rate but permanent residents and citizens have to pay ~20% into a fund. They could withdraw from it t

OS updates on iPhones frequently list new emoji in the release notes. It would be interesting to see what the most mundane reason for an iOS update is.

I loved that game! I was probably 4 years old playing that. My dad had to start it up for me. I think he still has a tape of me crying about it being too difficult. Great times. I never did work out how to do the special attack...

However, product innovation doesn't happen without competition. Acquisitions aren't necessarily bad, but a company being bought by a competitor with a similar product lessens competition and can lead to less innovation.

The UI does leave a lot to be desired, definitely! I wish they'd add specific UIs for the different formats. I agree with the pain that some languages/package managers add as well. Its a shame package managers aren't necessar

Yes, but nothing can prevent you from consuming unknown vulnerabilities. Once log4shell was discovered it was trivial to eliminate it from the organisation. We knew exactly what projects were using it and updated them accordingly. Access lo

Specifically Mandarin. I'm learning Cantonese and one problem I have with these apps is that they are all just apps. If I'm on my laptop, I don't have access to the same resources. For example, Pleco is a great dictionary. I

This is really interesting. For my Homelab I've been playing around with using Lets Encrypt rather than spinning up my own CA. "What's the worst that could happen?" Guess I'll be looking to spin up my own CA now!

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps creating an API around PyCantonese? My thought is that if there's a common data format for a Cantonese sentence with jyutping/yale/traditional + translation(s), the user could then pick

Happy to see this here. I think there's tons of potential for making Cantonese easier to learn. The big difficulties I've had as an English speaker learning is: 1. Multiple Romanisation formats (Jyutping vs Yale) 2. Many community
