Turning this into a discussion about "affordable housing" is missing the point altogether. Most of these people have debilitating mental illnesses and/or drug addictions. To assume all they need is a shiny subsidized apartmen

Halifax? This isn't Phoenix or SF for that matter. The temperature drops to -7C in the winter. Will the city take the blame when these people all freeze to death because the city officially allowed them to play camp as part of some soc

My experience with LUKS robustness is less so, but I've uncleanly powered off many a laptop with BitLocker, FileVault, and commercial encryption with no ill effects.

I've had OBSD VMs trash themselves to the point they needed a reinstall, all from an improper shutdown. Is it entitled to say that is not "good enough"? What's worse, the OBSD team is not very supportive of VMs to being

This trick doesn't always work. Roku for example hard codes 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as its DNS resolvers. So you may need some firewall redirection rules.

Are you saying TV prices dropped sharply once they started including the adware? It sounds more like the adware is selling at the same price point normal TVs were in years past, and the ad-free were relegated to a higher priced tier that di

Our idiocracy would decry that as some sort of antiquated Luddite device and it wouldn't sell in enough volume to make a profit.

Not my TV and this is Roku but I imagine they all have similar language: "If you do not agree to this EULA, you do not have the right to use the Television or the Software" https://www.tcl.com/us/en/roku-

What a coincidence, an ad giant (Google) controls my current TV's OS and I had to accept a EULA to use it.

Steve's assholarity over the years was well documented (he was known for parking in handicapped spaces in a car with no number plates, exploiting a loophole in CA law). They both contributed greatly to the advancement of technology - b

You could say the same about Steve Jobs being a tyrant boss, but despite this he achieved God-like status in tech circles. So did Elon for that matter, before he became a pariah seemingly overnight.

Because we live in a world where people are more upset if the government is in bed with the space-n-rocket guy than companies engaging in mass surveillance, censorship, and suppression of ideas at their behest.

HN is not open source. Only the base software package is, the 'secret sauce' is proprietary.

Source? I'm not questioning it, I'd like to know more. DV always seemed vulnerable to DNS tampering.

Can't believe the HTTPS everywhere cargo cult still can't get it through their skulls there is still a place and use cases for plaintext HTTP. In some cases, CRLs for example, they shall not be served over HTTPS.

Absolutely not. Apple was still selling non-Retina Intel MacBook Airs until 2019. Those are now completely unsupported with no security updates having topped out at Monterrey. 5 years of updates on a new laptop is borderline criminal.

Ok, but this is an Apples vs oranges comparison. (Carlos!) We are talking about software support here. The vintage products list is specifically targeting hardware support; e.g. how long Apple will keep spare parts in stock. After a set num

The issue with passing off a list of vintage products as some kind of past tense support schedule is by definition products become vintage when they are added to the list at some arbitrary date. My expectation is a table of OS versions and

To my knowledge Apple has never published EOL or support dates in the future. Someone correct me if something has changed in the last few years.

You act as if we should be thankful for 6 years of support when the hardware and sane support cycles easily exceed 10 years. And those aren't 6 years of security updates; they are 6 years of forced yearly feature upgrades and breaking

Well for starters, they stopped providing any updates for many perfectly functional Intel Macs years ago for no other reason than planned obsolescence. A side effect of the "they make both the hardware and software that's why it&#
