Unix is both a family of operating systems and also a trademark. The name is overloaded - "Unix" is more than one thing at the same time. In addition, the trademark is "UNIX" and t…

Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), new security issues tend to be found over a device's lifespan.

It also shows a (potential) lack of understanding of what's happening internally at the upper levels DigiCert. This might have been a known issue or some other very poorly handled …

It's one of those things where if someone does the work, they're allowed to show off how they like. Next time you do an interesting display mod or port, you can choose whatever vid…

It just is a thing, tbh. It manifests in the data pretty clearly. In aggregate, in large data sets, race comes through - especially with a few datapoints. For example, when I worke…

Confidently wrong, as usual.

This is not an issue about "old hardware" or "old games", it's about an emulator for a currently selling system. I don't agree with what Nintendo is doing, but I understand why the…

>The fact that it is Google's customers which are being scammed could be part of the reason why Apple doesn't prioritize safety in this case. this is conspiracy bordering on parano…

Neither has anyone in the US - they're relatively niche pre-cursors to the SUV, sold a respectable yet tiny amount (500,000), and haven't shipped a product since 1980.

The article is pretty clear that it's going to be a service offered as a secondary option instead of core functionality. >Apple is preparing new capabilities as part of iOS 18 — th…

fwiw a 320w cpu isn't running at 320w all of the time. if you're powering something off of batteries in a consumer situation, a 240w vs 320w cpu isn't going to move the needle unle…

Full self driving is a misleading name, Level 2 is not Level 5, Tesla is overpromising a solution, and I wouldn't consider something in "beta" that is safety critical to be conside…

A few months ago, I had to quickly bang out a script to output about 20 million lines of text, each the output of a hash function. My naive solution took more than a few minutes - …

The problem with this logic is that users _are_ pounding sand: to macos and ipados, which has been steadily ticking up.

You're right, it was closer to two decades prior. My bad.

> Apple's biggest successes have come from being the first mover in a brand new space. I would say that only one of the examples you gave was unambiguously the first mover in a bra…

Linked-in style white noise content.

The absolutely insane pattern of making people click "back" after seeing an email/password login screen to create an account without logging in...

Tbh telemetry is really useful for identifying bugs, feature requirements, and security issues. It's anonymized, not really that invasive, and the way they gather it is pretty resp…

It's wild how annoying Windows UX can be when it's something that microsoft wants you to use, to help improve their services revenue. TBH, I'm on board with some of the negatives y…

SCIM adoption isn't near where it needs to be. I guess yeah, this is the correct answer. We live in a world where SSO is considered an enterprise feature, I hope one day that it's …

One thing that SSO isn't great at is deactivating live sessions. Often, you either solve this with short session times (annoying to users), making a note in the de-provisioning ste…

Of course it doesn't imply anything directly about the drug, but it does implicate the pharma industry in willingness to distribute drugs that have long term side effects. > Every …
