    I'm also a little bummed that they seem to have dropped the Pro Display XDR. I wanted a 32" display as the main display, and then use my existing two Studio Display vertically as s…

    One thing that made Tahoe even worse is that Apple changed what they considered an update or upgrade, so for Tahoe it was suddenly considered as a update and not an upgrade, in all…

    (I'm not a lawyer) You should be careful about speaking in absolute terms when talking about copyright. There is nothing that prevents multiple people from owning copyright to iden…

    It would surprise me if it was, because of features like certificate transparency logs.

    When this information is useful you've either got fundamental security related issues that needs to be addressed long before this, or you're dealing with threat actors with signifi…

    I don't understand why that is such a huge problem. The alternatives have much more severe problems, all from reusing a wildcard in many places to running your own PKI.

    I'm going to chalk this up to the decline in Google search to save my embarrassment, because that was very straight forward, and I don't understand how I didn't find that. Admitted…

    I'm mostly happy with my Apple Watch, but you better hope that it doesn't calibrate itself poorly. There's no way to force it to recalibrate and it persists through full reset and …

    I get the point you're trying to make here, and the sarcastic undertone, but I'd have issues living with myself if people died because of something that I was able to identify and …

    I think that depends a lot on how the data is going to be used. It sounds like you're not really using EBS volumes for what they're great at; Durability. While instance storage is …

    Having a low child mortality is important, and we've done so many good things in the last couple of decades, but I'm starting to think we're at the point now where the money you ha…

    They don't even seem to specify what kind of charger they've tested. But I wouldn't be surprised if they found that a quarter of public L2-chargers were out of service. They have t…

    Making a wild guess that it was a Circle K-station that you went to? They were quite early to the market with fast chargers, and had a lot of reliability issues with some of the ch…

    I don't really understand the argument you're trying to make. You want us to use less accurate meters and then pay a premium to cover those inaccuracies, which is supposed to be ch…

    Everything I read seems to suggest that hydrogen is a pipe dream for energy storage, as the output efficiency is so low. And that's before accounting for all the issues of just sto…

    For the last mile you're probably right, but the electricity has to come from somewhere. So you also need to size the production capacity, distribution network, sub-stations and wh…

    Are you sure you want less accurate meters? There's a lot of losses in the network itself, and without accurate meters it's hard to pinpoint where they are and if they can be fixed…

    There's a lower bound to how cheap electricity can be, the infrastructure to distribute it isn't free. Every country price this differently, but one way to solve this is to split t…

    I'm not going to pretend that there aren't edge cases and personal situations that would make it viable, but my initial comment was on consumers as a whole. And we're talking about…

    Teslas "virtual power plant" is only for Tesla Powerwall. There's no V2G capabilities in any Teslas to date, and I don't think there's even hardware support for it. The Tesla Cyber…

    I don't really think consumers want or need this. The battery chemistry used in most EV batteries are not really optimized for a lot of cycles, and they're somewhat expensive to re…

    I'm struggling a little bit to grasp all the concepts when we start talking about unikernels, wasm and so on. Hopefully that's just a sign of the maturity of it, and not a sign of …

    I don't really see how rootless containers change anything at all. You're still "just" one kernel privilege escalation away from breaking out. The level of isolation is much better…

    I think the lines between software and hardware-based are a little blurred these days with accelerator cards and whatnot. It's just a lot harder to come with the same level of guar…

    In AWS you don't even do neighbour discovery through ARP. Or that's a lie, you do, you get a arp reply, but it's not from any of your devices on the network. And traffic is authent…
