In the narrow distributed-systems sense? Yes, however those requirements are self-imposed. AWS chose strong global consistency for IAM and billing... they could loosen it at enormo…

If AWS fully decentralized its control planes, they’d essentially be duplicating the cost structure of running multiple independent clouds and I understand that is why they don't h…

Major us-east-1 outages happened in 2011, 2015, 2017, 2020, 2021, 2023, and now again. I understand that us-east-1, N. VA, was the first DC but for fucks sake they've had HOW LONG …

HID (be it my mouse or trackpad, on either my Mac mini or MacBook) input works excellent on my Mac's. Nothing wrong here. Not working how you prefer it doesn't make something unusa…

'xcode-select --install' literally just installs the developer command line utilities, not an IDE. Xcode, the IDE, is a separate download on the App Store.

Meanwhile I use both a 1080p display and a 1440p display (Both Dell displays) with zero issues on macOS Big Sur. I get no odd behavior, both monitors are always detected nor do I s…

I'm watching a YouTube video in Safari right now being served via VP9 (Verified under "Stats for nerds"). Heck, even the M1 supports VP9 in hardware up to 8K60. I'm not sure where …

Wow! I never saw that site but it is FULL of misinformation and purposely claiming misleading "facts". I like how there is absolutely no contact info, as this tool knows he's full …

True enough. Upvoted.

macOS also has native Docker and native Terminal.app with a Unix tool chain just like Linux. So those two aren't great examples on their own IMO. I do however agree that it's 100% …

Just to clarify, xhyve is just bhyve ported to macOS and RUNS ON Hypervisor.framework which is not based on any other Hypervisor. Parallels for ARM, UTM (many QEMU frontends), xhyv…

I'm quite pleased with my 1gb up/down for $165 from TruVista. Stable, cheap, IPv6 and a static IPv4 IP. Not sure I agree with this guys opinion, but I might just be lucky? Everyone…

I still use a NUC5i3RYH every day. It has been remarkably stable, haven't had to replace a single part or have any issues since building it in 2015, and makes an outstanding Hackin…

So I could just screenshot the tweet and would have more physical gain for my $100,000.00 than the purchaser? I guess I don't understand the value of purchasing this or I'm missing…

The Linux kernel doesn't rely on the filesystem for swap files insuring no more overheard than swap partitions. It bypasses the filesystem and is told what blocks it can use, that'…

Playing a game of chance works the same way mentally as other games, you get enjoyment from them both. The addiction of gambling is a whole different discussion and I agree with yo…

My Kobalt cordless blower is very much entry level and has swappable batteries that also swap with my other Kobalt tools. It's not the worlds greatest blower (480 CFM and 110 MPH) …

It's still a win pollution wise. Those 4 stroke generators are far better re: emissions than a 2 stroke engine on ICE lawn tools.

Can you cite this actually happening? If you are asked to leave and do not leave I can see you possibly being arrested for trespassing, but I fail to see what you would be arrested…

Yes, of course gambling is a game of chance. I don't get what you're getting at? I also am for regulating loot boxes, I still do not see how that changes the fact a game is a game.…

I've never seen this myself on a XR, but I will take your word for it (As it does make sense), thanks for the info. I was more thinking lack of light not being a issue, I didn't ta…

FaceID uses infrared, lighting conditions do not matter. You can disable the requiring of looking at the phone and unlocking via FaceID in settings, I regularly unlock my phone wit…

Playing a game is gaming. Just because you personally do not like a genre doesn't instantly make it not a game... Even people playing board games are still gamers. People playing s…
