Also you can run x86-64 and arm64 VMs side by side with UTM on the M1’s. That’s what I am doing. Although I don’t need to use the x86-64 one these days as Debian/arm64 is fine for …

Just a heads up with this. If you want one, make sure you get an off the shelf config if you can. The turnaround times for replacements and repair is likely to be bad on non stock …

No please do. You’re on the mark there. I was waiting for someone to make this point. The weirdness comes from the social disparity and disconnectedness from peers their own age du…

Great hobby. Combines many disciplines from carpentry, electronics, engineering and even civil engineering to some degree.

Yeah felt a little dirty writing that.

Indeed it’s about honesty in the face of death. The speaker speaks both of the good and the bad things. Obituaries tend not to.

If this was Spotify vs Google I’d take Spotify. If this was anything vs Apple I’d take Apple. That’s the ranking of trust I have as far as customer support goes. It’ll be a crap fe…

This. I had kids in my early 20s. It’s great because I still have a connection with them even though two are adults. Kids from much older parents (40+) are also almost completely w…

Having screwed this up in my 30s and spent the first half of my 40s doing a desperate low budget TV montage, I agree with this entirely. Some things you can't undo and I regret tha…

I'm buying a cake tomorrow to celebrate. I think Orson Scott Card, despite being a complete loon, raised an interesting concept in the book Speaker For The Dead. Obituaries should …

Yes and no. Look at some of the loop optimisations possible on ARM compared to x86-64. I've had x86-64 run 8 instructions that ARM does in 1 instruction.

Spend some time looking at optimised compiler output on godbolt on both architectures. ARM has some really nice tricks up its sleeves. I’ve been using ARM since about 1992 though s…

I know. I still bought one.

Having just paid for Lightroom for a year this one really annoys the shit out of me.

Usually a mass exodus to a similar service with the same guarantees resulting in months of capacity problems as they try and scale out from customer influx. There are no winners.

I usually find something that I use that already exists that pisses me off and make my own version that doesn't piss me off. I've done this with a couple of things which have worke…

No. Intel worked out it needs to open its production capacity to other vendors. They will end up another ARM fab with a legacy x86-64 business strapped on the side. That's probably…

They sound like they're running the organisation like a dating site. More reasons to look elsewhere.

To be fair half of the people I know can't even remember their email address or password for more than about an hour after creating it so that's exactly what they do regularly. My …

Sounds about right. Here there will be a staff security training symposium that runs everyone through a training course bought in from the lowest bidder that is tangentially relate…

That’s some good longevity there. Hope this one lasts as long

Yep UK here. Normal here :)

You can add users with console access from the IAM API if you have enough reach.

Yep. All these standards are tick boxing for liability. Nothing more. They are not effective security controls and never will be and should never be a measure of that.

This is prime bad PR. This is going to be an absolute shit show.
