Tried it, didn't work, I also dug out the old pmset command but it seems to have been neutered. I'm glad I stopped using Apple stuff 10 years ago, their macs are gradually devolving into iDevices.

They are effectively low resolution hashes - obviously they would be completely useless if they fail to detect a re-encoded or slightly transformed or cropped image. In this sense it's a hash with a very high collision rate... probably

Thanks for clearing that up, for a second I thought nVidia was finally Linux viable.

Keep in mind that even your blue-ray disc is highly lossy compressed. Almost every source you can get your hands on will be lossy compressed - unless you generate your own - but even then, most consumer devices don't even allow recor

I used to do this, and it's nice having your own IP, however keep in mind that while you preserve privacy from your ISP/gov you lose privacy from the websites and services you access as you become very uniquely identifiable.

I really like mullvad's service too (wiregaurd)... My only issue is that is seems to have become increasingly difficult to access many websites through their servers. I suppose this is inevitable to some degree with any VPN service, it

The parent is referring to the replacement firmware not the OS and above. This is different from running the same FOSS software on other more closed hardware. It's a valid concern: On the one hand Purism is gradually achieving their in

From the article it sounds like they are looking for ways to scale down (i.e small portable units are the target form factor, not a mere demo), and this is where it compares favourably against things like reverse osmosis for efficiency.

This really feels like far better fitting problem for control theory... but I guess it's not cool enough like ML.

It's the same problem as the lack of widespread technical comprehension in the general public. New blood politicians may know more about tech, phones and services from a _user_ perspective, but most of them are still politicians, not e

by tomxor 5y ago
Unlikely. Historically Apple has always designed cooling with very narrow margins around suppliers TDP due to internal pressure to create smaller and smaller machines, which has often resulted in underclocking due to GPU vendors downplaying
