Not to mention it’s built into the OS: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/digital-color-meter/we...

Much of the Canonical & Ubuntu documentation uses it now. I am not sure which are the best examples though. https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/

I am so very happy to have a 2010s Samsung TV with no Wi-Fi and an AppleTV. I do not lock forward to needing to upgrade the TV.

Yikes. Going to need containerised vscode in this world.

Apple includes these in digital purchases from the iTunes Store. It’s part of “iTunes Extra”. But I never see them anywhere else. Especially streaming. A real loss.

The problem with asserts is that they are pretty dramatic and you crash the entire program. We generally did this in the avahi libraries, be fairly liberal with asserts that "shoul…

Most of the ARM Servers support this, in any case.

Currently my biggest problem isn't ads, it's all the apps now will find ANY excuse to send you a notification in order to keep their "Daily Active User" count high. You turn off mo…

Right. Sydney is at 33.9 S and Darwin is 12.4 S Quote from the article: In Sydney, south-facing panels typically produce around 30% less energy than north-facing ones. The steeper …

This is sort of over stated generally. In Australia where North is “optimal”, even South facing panels produce only 20-30% less and East/West about 15%. It does vary a bit by latit…

First heard about this I think on the Penn’s Sunday School hotel. I hope to visit one day. This hotel and the one which has a red phone “Popsicle Hotline” at the pool to order a wa…

I remember the talk about the Wii/WiiU hacking they intentionally kept the early boot code in cache so that the memory couldn’t be sniffed or modified on the ram bus which was exte…

Only if you reuse the same random name. Which would be silly.

They are one step ahead of you: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-pay-per-crawl/ Sort of though. Still private beta since July 2025.

Have been using that weekly since probably 20 years. Will change your life :) My other favourite is I very often SSH with -v to figure out why the connection is hanging, you rapidl…

Back in the day (MySQL 5.0-5.5 era, when I was working at MySQL/Sun/Oracle in the MySQL support team) the MySQL documentation team was truly amazing and sets the standard for me ev…

Yeah. As noted in the video the only way to get a new one was via a support process with Nintendo and they ran out of stock in 2024.

I still have one of the early green OLPC laptops kicking around that I got at linux.conf.au 2005, in part because they were (or were thinking of) making use of avahi as part of the…

This entire thing was a masterpiece I love it.

I would argue that iPadOS (built on iPhone's coat tails) moved the field forward significantly in terms of isolation and user security. While this has left a long tail of inconveni…

It wouldn't surprise if Apple had fixed this, it's the sortof thing they would fix, but it may be worth trying with 2 devices not from the same iCloud account. Wouldn't surprise me…

Captain Disillusion did a great breakdown (diss :) of that: https://youtu.be/1qSTcxt2t74?t=1273 (21m10s on for ~5 mins)

Right. Everyone seemed to be struggling with problems in python now that we’re already solved in Ruby 2007-2010.

Not everything uses qemu. Some do. More use KVM. Not everything does. Example: https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/

That's a fairly impressively sized list.
