Why would they need to do anything so explicit and crude? Everyone carries a smartphone on them at every waking moment and they chose to do it willingly (though unwitting of the im…

Oyster is still anonymous, in the sense that no details are required to buy a card, and it can be topped up using cash. The cards can be returned or disposed of as necessary. But a…

Police have been using it in London for several years, mostly at protests, but also in other 'test' deployments. They are currently required (it seems) to place signage around the …

Yes, I remember that table with the T800 skull. It was indeed epic.

You are correct, sir. See the link bluedino posted!

Super cool, thank you!

This is true, it was a big cultural moment, but the level to which they sold the absolute heck out of that film should not be understated. It was one of the first times I can clear…

Disappointed this only focuses on the contemporary technology used in making the (admittedly amazing) visual effects for the film, which has been addressed multiple times across va…

>it's a fun toy, but I wouldn't depend on it for anything important. This could be said for the rail network as a whole. Neglect and underinvestment over the last 60+ years has lef…

Oh right. I don't see Apple having any interest in supporting that given their current trajectory.

It would be wonderful if this ran on older versions of macOS, but according to the README they only support 26.

How long until we find out the politicians have written in an exemption for themselves and the security apparatus? I hope my pessimism is unwarranted in this case, but it certainly…

Can your external place objects and route cables around on the patch? That's the main thrust of my original comment, which is that JS scripting can help avoid having to patch lots …

Well, it's obviously not intended for realtime 'live coding', but as an answer to the problem of dealing with the GUI and manually cabling a patch up it suffices, though it does he…

>Ableton and Max are totally separate codebases, and "Max for Live" is just a ~VST interface between them. This is not strictly true, and Max for Live (M4L) is much more than a pse…
