All you're saying is that FOSS developers targeting Linux might[0] be able to lean on the generosity and hard work of Linux distro package maintainers.

That's great, but if you're a FOSS (or free as in beer) app developer targeting Qt on macOS or Windows you're choice is basically between shipping a bleeding edge version of Qt 6.x that will almost certainly cause regressions for your users, or ship a version of Qt 5.15 that almost certainly has known security vulnerabilities.

As an app developer bumping minor Qt versions on my users isn't something I want to do every other month, since doing so requires a lot of regression testing and user feedback. Most of the time I just want to roll in critical bug fixes (security issues, crashers, etc).

[0] In reality shipping Qt apps for Linux is really horrible. As you noted every distro is using a different version, so the users of your app don't all get the same experience unless you go to a herculean effort to bundle your own Qt build.
Following the rules while protesting through a court case seems reasonable to me. Just because you flow the rules doesn't mean you think they are just. On the other hand, retaliating because someone genuinely believes they are being disadvantaged is quite the opposite of just.

> I really wish people would stop griping about losing security features when you flip the one switch that ensures the security of the system. Unlocking the bootloader means it is now possible to modify system files. Of course Safetynet is going to fail. The point of Safetynet is to ensure the system hasn't been tampered with.

That's pretty much drinking the DRM koolaid. You can have both, verified boot and freedom. All it takes is a mechanism to replace the manufacturer's trust root with an owner-supplied one. The process would wipe anything secured by the trusted components (including keys securing the user data) but that should be fine since you can make a backup.

The only thing that wouldn't work is software that wants to ensure that the user has no control over the system - DRM or "the user is too dumb to be trusted with their own device" security theater.

> What's Apple reasoning for not abandoning Lightning for USB-C on their phones?

The original iPod (remember those?) 30-pint connector was around for eleven years, 2003-2014:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_connector#Mobile_devices

Lightning has been around for "only" nine as of 2021, having ben released in 2012:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_(connector)

An article from 2012:

> As for Lightning's expected lifespan, the format is estimated to be in use for the next five to ten years, almost identical to the now-defunct 30-pin standard.

* https://appleinsider.com/articles/12/09/21/analyst_lightning...

Yes, it's nice that we finally have a supposedly universal plug, but we only recently got here. It may be that they simply don't think it's worth it yet to 'force' people to switch infrastructure yet. That the USB-C ecosystem is universal enough (though I'm sure them switching would push it forward).
In Ultima Online we would play chess to pass time on long sea voyages while hunting for monsters or treasure.

Okay I think I understand your core issue. My position is that you do one indent per open scope and those should be done by tabs. Since those usually appear at the beginning of the line there's no problem because tabs behave exactly like you want them to (equal X spaces). It also produces nice boxes, especially in C like languages if I may say so, personally I think Python forcing you to obey this principle is actually a good think to teach people. Can look like this:

+--------------------------------------+
|namespace foo |
|{ |
| +------------------------------+ |
|[TAB]|void bar(args) | |
|[TAB]|{ | |
| | +-----------------+ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|while (condition)| | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|{ | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|[TAB]// body | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|} | | |
| | +-----------------+ | |
| | | |
| | // and another scope | |
| | +-----------------+ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|if (condition) | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|{ | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|[TAB]// body | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]|} | | |
| | +-----------------+ | |
|[TAB]|} | |
| +------------------------------+ |
|} |
+--------------------------------------+

Your problem appears when a new scope does not seeem to start at the beginning of a line, correct? For example like this:

+--------------------------------------+
|namespace foo |
|{ |
| +------------------------------+ |
|[TAB]|auto bar(args) | |
| | // function body | |
|[TAB]|{ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]return baz([args](){ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB][TAB]// lambda body | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]}); | |
|[TAB]|} | |
| +------------------------------+ |
|} |
+--------------------------------------+

If you try to draw a rectangle around only the lambda you have to "indent" the body by spaces to make it nicely aligned like this

+--------------------------------------+
|namespace foo |
|{ |
| +------------------------------+ |
|[TAB]|auto bar(args) | |
|[TAB]|{ | |
| | +----------+ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]return baz(|[args](){ | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB][TAB] | ... | | |
| |[TAB] |} | | |
| | +----------+ | |
| |[TAB]); | |
|[TAB]|} | |
| +------------------------------+ |
|} |
+--------------------------------------+

and someone misguided could have the really bad idea of first wanting to align a box and then doing the indent for the lambda scope:

+--------------------------------------+
|namespace foo |
|{ |
| +------------------------------+ |
|[TAB]|auto bar(args) | |
|[TAB]|{ | |
| | +----------+ | |
|[TAB]|[TAB]return baz(|[args](){ | | |
|[TAB]|[TAB] |[TAB]... | | |
| |[TAB] |} | | |
| | +----------+ | |
| |[TAB]); | |
|[TAB]|} | |
| +------------------------------+ |
|} |
+--------------------------------------+

That obviously leads to problems, yes, but that is simply someone who did not understand "tabs for indent, spaces for alignment" then. You should train that person better, it's really not that hard and also there's tools that can easily warn on such things. Banning tabs gets rid of this problem but it also gets rid of the advantage tabs have, namely that the indentation can look differently to many people without causing any VCS problems. And that's worth a lot more than saving a one time 2 minute work of enforcing a check for such things in the VCS for a single person.

In theory. But part of the UEFI boot chain is Optional ROM files stored on hardware. Most commonly found on dedicated graphics cards and other hardware.

All of these files need to be authenticated, and currently signed by Microsoft or the OEM vendor. A modern Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 2 laptop has 7 OpROM files. If validation fails for the GFX card you are essentially "soft bricking" the device since the GFX card won't work.
It's probably reasonably high, anecdotally every time I got out walking in the hills in most parts of the UK there are large numbers of sheep and cattle grazing on basically unusable wilderness, often which is part of a national park so can't be built on much anyway. They seem to be pretty self sufficient eating grass unless there is a heavy snowfall, which is quite rare in England, farmers would then supplement with feed crops like turnips etc.
You are just old ;)

I have not lost a file in 10years. I have a NAS with backup to the cloud, nothing fancy just a single drive NAS with automatic rolling backups. Important files go to multiple clouds.
I see it as a series of points:

Bitcoin failed as a virtual currency for mass adoption will continue to stay that way because Lightning has a lot of issues

Any alt coin can't succeed while Bitcoin exists

Bitcoin won't fail first (out of all coins) because there is a lot locked money in it from influential people, they wouldn't rescind control just because other tech is better for regular people

From these points I consider that all coins are now not a currencies but an investment instrument

From there - I don't wish to use my own money to enrich arbitrary people running some arbitrary instrument, which original purpose has failed

> Most Android devices these days have bootloaders that cannot be unlocked, preventing device owners from installing custom kernel images onto their devices. And even if you have a phone where that isn't true, Google's SafetyNet will prevent you from using many crucial applications, like your bank's Android app, on that handset.

Googles own devices not only allow you to unlock the bootloader, but to relock it with your own signing keys. So your statement is just wierd - if you care, vote with your wallet and don't complain how "most devices" don't give you feature you're not ready to pay for.

BTW, for an ironic twist, as this is posted on Twitter:

On Safari/macOS, you can't refocus on a Tweet by clicking anymore (if not signed-in already), as this inevitably brings up a sign-in dialog, which resets the view selection in the same instant. As this is not the case with other browsers, I guess, it's not the intended behavior. However, as it has been so for a while now, Twitter seems to be happy with this.

>Apple lied, and that Tim Cook "promised" in court that Epic would be let back in the app store if they promised to comply with the rules. Epic made that exact promise [1]. And now Apple's telling them: F you.

I think your post inadvertently makes things more confusing.

In short, the situation changed and got a little more complicated after Tim Cook previously said they'd reinstate Epic's account.

What are the new changes and complications created by the recent judge's ruling? Epic's "promise" has to be dissected into 2 component parts:

(#1) _direct_ in-app-purchases. This was the mechanism that originally got Epic kicked off the App Store last year. (The court ruling still doesn't force Apple to allow this and indeed, they reaffirmed this by ordering Epic to pay back $6 million (the "lost" 30% commissions) to Apple for bypassing Apple's in-app-purchases.)

(#2) _informing_ the user of alternative app payments via web links, etc. (the "anti-steering" in the court's ruling)

Apple's current guidelines don't allow for either (1) & (2). However, Epic wants to be back in the App Store and immediately use option #2 because they feel the judge's ruling to stop Apple anti-steering policy should be followed now. Apple disagrees because they think they have a right to impose anti-steering. Hence, everybody is still in appeals process.

Put another way, Sweeney's idea of "promise" does not match Cook's expectation of a promise which makes it invalid from Apple's perspective.

Contrary to public perception, "anti-steering" is not always illegal and Apple's legal team is probably aware of previous cases such as American Express winning their anti-steering case with The Supreme Court: https://www.pymnts.com/legal/2018/supreme-court-amex-case-an...

You can easily identify the phone of the target by physical surveillance coupled with Stingray type of cell traps. No need to bother with IMEI, plain cell number which you will then intercept with operator support.

So you will prove the target uses a phone, and that phone connects to Signal servers or some offshore VPN. That's not very useful.

The quest is to access communication contents, or map out a criminal network that can then then lead to identifying other physical locations of terminals and unknown members of the ring.
You "mpweiher" might not do it, but I assure you plenty of enterprise programming cogs do.

Why does the author keep referring to the player as 'her'?

This neither seems in line with the traditional use of 'he/him' in English texts, or even the neutrality of 'he/him and or she/her'. It reads more like a stunted attempt to virtue signal. I'm quite confident that Civilization games skew to male players, rather than female.

> The crazy thing here is that it’s not so hard to hit the standard set of “pro” ports —

Given that the cheapest USB hub allows you to plug in half a dozen USB-A devices and SD cards, and given that frequently they are not used at all by anyone, why would it be preferable to add 3 dedicated ports instead of just using one of the four available USB-C ports?

The same goes to the HDMI and phone/mic ports.

In fact, nowadays you have monitors that not only support video over USB-C but also serve as USB-A hubs, which means that with a single USB-C connector you can get everything you mentioned in your example.
"Engineer a replacement for the immune system" sounds insanely hard. Problem statement: "constant incoming stream of incredibly diverse unknown bacterial and viral invaders that you have to recognize and kill before their replication overwhelms your systems, but make sure you don't attack any of your own extremely diverse tissues, oh also those bacteria and viruses are constantly evolving to bypass your defenses". Natural immune systems are incredible biotech and it's a miracle we're not all dead.

The question is, of course, for which mission profile you even need a manned and/or large plane like this.

Will this be autonomous? Will it be superseded by loitering munitions, drones and super fast rockets?

Apple is complying with the court order (so far as we can currently tell). Not reinstating Epic’s developer account is a separate issue. It was explicitly stated in the court order that Apple was allowed to terminate Epic’s account and it was solely up to them if they wanted to reinstate it.
