   When I took my MacBook Air in for repair with a UEFI password, they carried out the whole repair and just asked me to type my password when I arrived to collect it and ran a diagnostic on the machine to verify the computer was working. You

   Nope, because the whole thing about Optane is that it is super low latency, like RAM, so yes, it’s slower to actually perform read-writes, but way faster than even an SSD disk for random reads making it reasonable suitable as a RAM replacem

   Lol, looks like Linus actually inspired them. I mean with the whole DDR industry acting corruptly to keep prices sky high, this seems like a reasonable way to add some competition.

   But exactly like the commenter stated. Part of the goal is to fix IPs like this being inaccesible. This DNS is both easy to access and using what should be, a perfectly accessible IP

   I agree that it is stupid that they have to deliver new things every year or they get negative feedback, but that doesn't mean they should deliver features that make their products worse or that QA should quit doing their job. Apple is

   Bizarrely though, you can still use the root user (with the password that you set) to login to the Directory Utility even while it is supposed to be disabled... This behaviour seems super weird.

   Yeah, you’re safe if you keep the foot account alive and you set a password for root. At least as far as I can tell...

   I actually do think it is in dispute. This is a tweet after all. This guy could totally tweet about it in much the same way after Apple released a patch. The negative publicity would still exist because the bug would be equally stupid and d

    I believe that iCloud Tabs works to sync Safari bookmarks with Chrome. Not sure it's bulletproof though in my experience...

    That isn't really viable yet. Browser vendors could decide that they will introduce this functionality in a few years though. IMHO, the feature would need to be implemented as some have suggested, by enabling any website to transmit se

    I don't know what you think you know, but that isn't true. You do have an impact on the EU law! Norway has membership of the EEA council and they are able to affect the EU laws which affect them. Obviously, you can't affect t

    Hi Dan, I'm not using Wire yet - so I'm just quoting their marketing material - but they directly address your comments: "Wire uses open-source cryptography to encrypt all content. We made the source code for data handling av

    This is utter bullshit. I can't write equations for my life in Word (mainly because I hate that utter piece of shit) but I can type equations and other content in LaTeX faster than I can write it by hand - admittedly I use LyX which ha
