I think the difference might be that Apple's facial recognition is happening directly on device and not being offloaded elsewhere.

This is very cool. Do V-Chat next!

One of the comments that struck me on the lwn.net site is the (albeit small) possibility that someone in Russia could be running the software and unintentionally land themselves in…

It's still a bit jarring to me to see how far Apple embraced form over function with iOS and subsequently macOS. I remember reading the Human Interface Guidelines from the late Mac…

What's amazing to me is how I was downvoted into oblivion on a few different subreddits and forums for expressing concern about the vibe-coded nature of the project and that the au…

I know this because every Christmas Eve I hear Hans Gruber say "schiessen den fenster".

I spent a lot of time in math class playing this...

Tried to run it on macOS but it crashed on boot. Looks cool!

So, why aren't we all using ECC in 2026?

Honestly, best thing I did was ditch all that and just read the handbook, specificially chapter 17 [1]. All of my jails are now set up manually, initially using /etc/jail.conf, and…

I love this editor. The return on investment in learning vim is incredible. I'm not a programmer or even really "in" tech, but when my colleagues see me chew through a document usi…

Couldn't have come at a better time for those who are affected by their IT departments removing access to Notepad++.

Darktable. It has a hell of a learning curve, but it's one hell of a powerful raw editor with some really cool masking features. It has a reputation for being difficult to learn, b…

Nice work! But not all of NYC. Where's the rest of Staten Island?

This is amazing. It's such a shame that Olympus and Panasonic have largely abandoned the small camera market within the M43 system. I really wish another manufacturer would step up…

Boot environments saved my ass many a time in the last few years. One of my favorite features!

Just donated. I run a NetBSD instance on a VPS and on an old Lenovo mini PC that I use as a gateway/file server between my regular network and network of vintage PCs. I have two XT…

Easier fix might be if you aren't using /usr/src (or /usr/opt) to move the contents of /usr/share/relink into /usr/src (make sure you move it, not copy, so that /usr/share/relink i…

I remember my grandfather telling me when I was younger that many nice buildings were demolished to make way for the WTC. He worked nearby, so he saw the entire construction from s…

I'd hate to suggest this, but I'm concerned that outlets are hesitant to critize Apple for fear of them losing access.

Go for it. I made the switch ~10 years ago and didn't regret it at all. First-class, rock solid ZFS integration. Saved my data on more than one occasion.

I think it's worth mentioning that, if you can, set these IP cameras up on a separate VLAN that doesn't have internet access (or access to the rest of your network), run an open so…

I have never heard the fans on my 2021 16" MBP until I opened this website. GPU usage spiked to 65% when opening the site in Firefox, enough to trigger the fan on this otherwise si…

Is it perfect? No. But I have one of them in a Pentium 200 MHz system that I use a front-facing CF card slot as the primary means of storage, and I very much appreciate the audible…

Got excited for a second, I thought this was about HENkaku Ensō [1] for the PS Vita. [1] https://enso.henkaku.xyz/
