    Would love to see the source code for this and the underlying details like Classic or Carbon, and the libraries mentioned on Tinker Different for TLS, HTTP/2, and Unicode

    And something similar still happens if you install more than one drive in your machine with fresh Windows installations. Ugh.

    I'd guess some constraint on their end related to the Zero Data Retention (ZDR) mode? Maybe the 1M context has to spill something onto disk and therefore isn't compliant with HIPAA…

    That's what I figured. Some day eventually it will be possible. Until then, it's only LM Studio or Ollama as a potential hookup. I've got some ideas inspired by this project. It's …

    How practically could we drop in Apple Intelligence once it's using Gemini as its core for a 100% local AI agent in a box?

    I wouldn't be surprised either. But the original formatting of the worm makes me think it was human written, or maybe AI assisted, but not 100% AI. It has a lot of unusual stylisti…

    Wow. This worm is fascinating. It seems to do the following: - Inject itself into the MediaWiki:Common.js page to persist globally, and into the User:Common.js page to do the same …

    I will say that 26.4 beta 2 was the first time I've regretting using betas since Sonoma beta 2. The Sonoma beta ruined the firmware on my machine and Apple had to replace the logic…

    That's the right chip. The other comment shows off the article. I forgot that it was called the "sensor hub", that's why I couldn't find the post showing how it works.

    I had never heard about this app. I thought the era of advertisements taking over the lock screen ended back in the Android 4.x days! But also, thinking from the business perspecti…

    One of the important reasons that it works so well is because it uses the Hexagon DSP in the Snapdragon processors to catch the events. That's why it's so hard to replicate. It's p…

    Dell likes to pull this stunt on other devices too. Like their 1L desktops in the OptiPlex line that I managed for many years. Even though we were using genuine Dell power adapters…

    This wasn't PTC. It was repair lockouts instituted by the manufacturer of the trains based on a GPS geofencing beacon.

    I would normally do something like that; however, we opted to open an AppleCare Enterprise case for it, since it gets an engineer to look into the issue. Both our Mac IT manager an…
