It remains one of the clearest examples of law enforcement wanting a friction-free solution for getting data out of iOS without Apple. They could have easily attained the information and have been doing so for years. They were explicitly trying to generate sympathy towards a backdoor solution.

What's sort of surprising to me is how much they overestimated public support for their cause.
When has accessibility pushed things forward? In my mind, accessibility is about parity with some existing standard, not about pushing the envelope forward.
I don't know what people are reading into my comment. I said _if_ SSD speeds were comparable to RAM, RAM wouldn't be needed. The reason we need it is precisely because disk is slower and cheaper.
I ordered mine in February as well, and after being delayed so many times the estimates were landing in July...it actually shipped out, and it arrived around a week ago. Was debating just cancelling and getting something else, but after using it, I'm very glad I didn't.
> It’s literally opt-in.

For now, I’m not sure how that will be though, if it’s anything like adding a calendar then it’s just hitting “yes” on a prompt.

How many apps on your phone want to send notifications?

> Most people aren’t going to go into Safari advanced settings and toggle a flag.

Assuming that’s how it will be enabled (and in perpetuity), I can’t see people doing that in the general case either and this the effectiveness of this feature is questionable.

I think everyone in this thread assumes they can deploy PWAs in a generally available way that support push notifications over the web, if you have to go into safari settings (as in, the settings app) then people are not likely to enable it and the this you can’t use them generally.

What I’m saying is: either this is easy to use for users, and it will be abused; or it’s hard for users and the actual usefulness of the feature is dubious.
really good question... is a x86 container already bootstrapping or can we put it through Rosetta (instead through QEMU) to get it run?
> they support their devices longer than others

They support the laptop/desktop hardware longer than others. Software-wise, Windows supports a given hardware set longer than macOS does. Note that you can mod macOS to support older hardware than it official does (dosdude1, ben216k, opencore).
It's not that they feel that which they never touch - the probabilistic waveform will experience gravity according to its distribution.

It means that (like with relativity) you end up dealing with some rather nasty intractable calculus, and in order to make sense of things you'll be looking to sound enough approximations of what's actually going on.

This consequences of this will be particularly amusing in near proximity to event horizons.
Apple provides developers with even more powerful technologies
The original Macbook Air was introduced to be extra light - it only later shifted to the entry level device as there used to be the base macbook for that
So they emphasized that this is going to kill "phishing" I doubt it.
It doesn't help that apologists have said Apple isn't dragging their feet but just not implementing features that are bad for users. This article is about one such feature. GP points out that Apple is still dragging their feet on features important to them, features that are only not implemented because they threaten Apple's monetization of streaming services, and apologists drag them instead of Apple.

The situation with Safari and IE is very different. What is not different is that they were the most damaging browsers for progress of the web platform in their respective eras.
I assume you are responding to pxmpxm's comment. :)
How about the rest of the app? Database servers, other servers, more servers, other services, etc all running in docker.
If the Touch Bar could refresh at 60 hz or something, maybe it's a display.

But if it (as it actually is I suspect) a USB connected thing that refreshes very slowly, it's not a display at all.

And the MacBook Air can take a USB "monitor" for whatever that's worth.
I don’t think you’ve read the thread you’re replying to, are replying without context, and are countering arguments nobody has made.

We’re discussing the idea that this feature is valuable because it facilitates developers dropping native applications in favor of fully web-based replacements.

The example given by the first poster was Protonmail, which performs client-side encryption, and which they argued would be better served by providing only a web application.

I noted that this would not actually be desirable for most users, especially when the application in question must be trusted to implement client-side encryption for which the server should not have access to the private keying materials, as is the case for protonmail.

There, hopefully you’re all caught up. I understand that you like the idea of this feature, but please read the threads you’re replying to.
For me, the biggest problem with the web as an app platform is that many of its advancements in the past 10-15 years have been heavily weighted towards giving total control to the developer rather than the end user. This isn't much of a surprise given the biggest players in this space, but it's disappointing nonetheless.
The environment is already pretty good. When it came out last year I had a few woes with x86_64 software, but nowadays I think most things you'd want are built for ARM, or you can get a very good experience with Rosetta 2.
> For now, I’m not sure how that will be though, if it’s anything like adding a calendar then it’s just hitting “yes” on a prompt.

It’s a safari flag in the advanced settings.

I’ll never understand why people aren’t for more options. Why constrain yourself?
Rebasing (possibly shitty) patches from the SBC vendor to a recent kernel can be non trivial in my experience (as someone who have 0 knowledge of the Linux kernel code, so I'm a good baseline to define what's trivial ^^). And yes most vendors are will ship one working kernel source and forget about it forever right after :) even vendors that are not the worse depend on drivers that are provided by the SoC vendor, and might be stuck because rebasing a GPU driver might even be hard for them I guess.
iSH is a great tool, but it's not a general purpose replacement for a shell.

I tried running git clone <some reasonably sized project> and ish died.

I am interested in helping out with iSH development, but it isn't really viable at the moment. It's claim to fame is a partial JIT that runs legally despite apple's jit restrictions
Meanwhile some other developer is really glad their software, that only supports iOS [previous-version] and hasn't been updated for the latest Safari, isn't generating shitloads of bug reports because some of their users updated the browser separate from the OS, and they aren't having to test multiple OS/webview combos.

Your particular case might have worked out better, but in general being able to test on an OS version and not have that change out from under you is really helpful.
It makes sense that there's an economy of scale, and standardized designs are good, but the number 4 doesn't seem to be special in any way.

(It is not updated for the new models yet).

However, for 2020 & 2021 models is nothing out of ordinary: 2x2 ax, max 80 MHz wide channels. Basically what every other vendor at the market offers.

During 2019, they went a step backwards: from 3x3 MIMO to 2x2 MIMO. Granted, many APs do not support more than 2x2, but there are models on the market that do, and those who care about these things had a choice. Now, it is join the averages.
Opposite reaction here.
Kotlin has "structured concurrency" which I believe automatically handles some cases of this, but I don't fully understand it. I find explicit cancellation tokens without any magic easier to understand.
We're using DASH and experimenting with LL-HLS to get reliable and affordable (using CDNS) end to end latency of 3 seconds with which you can already interact live with your audience without too much trouble. Latencies down to about 1 second are also feasible already at the cost of some client side buffering. So I would have expected to see more information about DASH than HLS here. It's usable on all platforms except iPhones and Apple TV where we're forced to use HLS at higher Latencies for now and hopefully later also DASH or LL-HLS once that's reliably usable.

It is not-improbable that the GP intended a mafia reference for how the layoffs were handled. Your choosing to infer instead of learning produces incorrect results. i.e. It's best not to assume.

>Software has only been getting more and more complex and bloated over the last 10 years

That's just some handwaving complain that doesn't mean much.

>What good is 16GB of super fast RAM if the machine is swapping out to disk regularly?

Try

- opening 2 Linux/Windows VMs on that 2012 laptop

- or opening a big Logic project with 100 tracks, convolution reverbs, high end AU/VSTs, and so on

- or opening and editing several 8K, ney, 4K video streams, and slap some VFX nodes on them...

- or running a programming IDE like Idea

- or compiling a large C++ codebase

... and several other tasks, and compare running the same on the 2022 machine.

Since "software has only been getting more and more complex and bloated over the last 10 years" it should be comparable, right?
Basically, yeah. Pyto is good and getting better. I recommend it over Pythonista to everyone who wants to run Python natively and doesn't already have a bunch of Pythonista code to support.

The main difference is in the UI libraries each app provides, which aren't cross-compatible. If you want to run plain text-based Python and work with a REPL, they feel very similar. Pyto ship with Python 3.10, though.
The base kernel is not really BSD.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Myths#FreeBSD_is_Just_macOS_Without...

>Darwin - which consists of the XNU kernel, IOkit (a driver model), and POSIX compatibility via a BSD compatibility layer - makes up part of macOS (as well as iOS, tvOS, and others) includes a few subsystems (such as the VFS, process model, and network implementation) from (older versions of) FreeBSD, but is mostly an independent implementation. The similarities in the userland, however, make it much easier to port macOS code to FreeBSD than any other system - partially because a lot of command-line utilities were imported along with the BSD bits from FreeBSD. For example, both libdispatch (Grand Central Dispatch in Apple's marketing) and libc++ were written for macOS and worked on FreeBSD before any other OS.
Apple Vehicle announcements coming in late 2023
Deep in the iOS16 release notes there is a little asterisk that states Apple Vehicle announcements coming in late 2023

It's really disappointing how aggressively they have started to drop macOS support for slightly older Macs.

Big Sur, which was released in Nov 2020, still supported the MacBook Air (2013) and the MacBook Pro (Late 2013). When Ventura is released only two years later, not even the MacBook Pro (2016) is supported, which was sold until Jun 2017. The fact that Ventura even drops support for a Mac that they sold until Dec 2019 (i.e., the "trash can" Mac Pro), is just mind-boggling.

I understand that they want to transition away from Intel Macs as fast as possible, but deprecating these Macs so aggressively is really terrible, both from a sustainability perspective and a consumer perspective.

I still keep a Mac mini (2011) around for guests to use for things that are not particularly sensitive (since it stopped receiving security updates a few years ago). It's not the fasted machine by any stretch, but it is still perfectly fine for watching movies, browsing the web, and anything else that does not heavily tax the CPU.
You realise that something like 99% of all LDAP authentications in the world go through Active Directory, right?

This is like someone screaming that Linux is a toy because it’s not really UNIX unlike SCO.
as soon as interest or taxes are involved, you'll end up with fractions of cents. Or if you want to split an uneven amount between people.
Having seen it in the wild I agree that it's more trouble than it's worth, and we'd be better off if the whole feature was ditched until/unless it can get a serious re-think. I'd be very surprised if the ratio of unwanted-to-wanted web-push messages is better than 10:1. I'd not be at all surprised if it's closer to 100:1.
That's just how Apple does their announcements: in big piles at few dates. The alternative would be to dribble them out slowly. As someone who is not particularly interested in Apple news either, I actually prefer this. Better get it out of the way in one fell swoop than have one announcement every other week that dominates the discussion all the time. Things being as they are, there are 3-4 Apple events per year, and so there are 48-49 weeks without big Apple news.

> The console is all you need to play the games, Sega CD titles included, but for maximum authenticity, Sega is selling a purely cosmetic Sega CD accessory

I had the original Sega CD, the one with the motorized tray for the CD that sat under the Genesis/Megadrive console, not the discman-esque top loading device they are copying here.

I suppose I'm the exact target market for this, as a pure nostalgic impulse purchase. But I have to say even as a kid I was so disappointed in the games available for it, that to impulse buy this would be to relive that disappointment, so ... pass.

Credit goes to the original device's included Video-CD for introducing me to Jimi Hendrix though (it had Manic Depression with a multimedia accompaniment) . That definitely changed me!
Surely you're talking about the wrong game.

Does Minecraft also boggle your mind?
Just looking at it reminds me of the original "keyboard computers" like the TRS-80, the C64/VIC-20. Just kind of gave me a sense of nostalgia for a second.
The thing to remember is that a "camp" comprised thousands of people, livestock and other moving parts. She was essentially project and logistics manager of a massive project, with no automation tools or modern mechanical equipment. The logistics of it would have been mind boggling. Not sure what you mean by "traditional role of women", as that would differ between cultures, but her job would be no mean feat, in my opinion.
one anecdote i have heard is that many people's careers have benefited tremendously from the opportunity to act in their boss' role for a few months when their boss has fallen sick.

this clearly isn't a strategy you can actively pursue, but a potential opportunity to be aware of and react to.

it's also somewhat entertaining to reflect that many people who have ascended some rungs up the org chart may have partly done so because their boss happened to get sick once.
The really interesting question: how much would you be willing to pay for it?
"The traditional role of women" and "running an empire" are not mutually exclusive. What did you expect the day-to-day business of keeping the Mongol empire running to look like?
Yeah, that's exactly what IBM claimed Watson would do -- learn biology, chemistry, and medicine on its own and then outperform human physicians. Instead, Watson Medicine was a catastrophe and revealed their AI marketeers to be hopelessly clueless. That's a mistake all AI boosters should take to heart. Don't overstate your accomplishment. To wit, claims that the protein folding problem has been entirely solved by AlphaFold is such an overstatement.

The DDR4x ram in the M1 can hit 70gb/sec, compared to 7gb/sec and ~3.5gb/sec average for the NVME. There's no amount of magic to get around those facts.

Same, and same spec machine (2015 15" maxxed out everything).

I did manage to make it handle Zoom just fine by opening it up and blowing it out with an air duster, which I've been doing about every 6 months since 2018 or so. The interior is a magnet for dust in a way that my Dell work laptop just isn't (even though that thing is a PoS in many other ways, most of which I suspect are down to Windows rather than the hardware).

After a periodic dusting it runs a whole lot better - no lag or dropped frames - even when the fans come on. It's still a nightmare for fan noise compared with my 2011 17" MBP (again, maxxed retail specs, but then replaced internal drive with SSD - which made it a new machine - and upgraded to 16GB RAM because you can replace at least some stuff in machines of this vintage), which then unfortunately died due to the GPU desoldering issue (I've already "fixed" it once by reflowing the solder, but this only held for a couple of weeks before it died again).

I think I'm going to wait for M2 MBPs and then splurge - hopefully get 7 years out of the new machine as well.
It's a more flexible form factor that can handle things like taking written notes, marking up PDFs, couch surfing extremely well which traditional laptops fail at. And with a Bluetooth keyboard it's perfectly serviceable for typing at a desk. Literally all it's restrictions are completely artificial which makes it doubly frustrating.

There's no need for personal attacks.

> as soon as your heap is tapped out you'll hit a performance wall.

Yes, probably. Two points though:

1. My comment was that _if_ SSD performance was comparable to RAM, there would be no need for the latter.

2. I have very rarely swapped on my 16Gb M1 Air, and when I did I only noticed later when looking back at graphs. I'm sure there was a performance hit but I never felt it.

> Any actual, professional use will put you way north of even 16gb.

I do plenty of actual, professional use on my 16Gb M1 Air. Right now I have 3 VS Code windows open compiling Go code, running acceptance tests and whatnot. I also have Mail, Safari (with tens of tabs) and Firefox (with >100 tabs) open. A few minutes ago I also had Slack open on it. I regularly start iTerm to do terminal tasks.

You must have an Intel machine. I had a powerful fully specced 32Gb i9 16" MBP. This cheap and humble 16Gb passively cooled M1 blows it right out of the water in every single aspect. It's even better at running Intel Docker images!
I did read the thread - no one is being forced, still. If you or anyone else doesn’t want it then you don’t have to do anything as it’s opt-in only. Hope you’re caught up.
> Who cares that it's a black box

To solve a specific problem, you just need a "mysterious solver". To increase human knowledge, you instead need a formally expressed insight.

In the article I read, «In 2020, Google’s AI team DeepMind announced that its algorithm, AlphaFold, had solved the protein-folding problem». Now, I understand that AlphaFold "solves protein-folding problem_s_", while "the protein-folding problem" would be a theoretical problem which calls for a theory to be solved. This is the difference. They are two different matters, having things done and having us more knowledgeable.

>Any actual, professional use will put you way north of even 16gb.

Well, I use my M1 (16 GB) for heavy video editing and music sessions, plus professional programming, with IDEA, VMs, and so on. And I don't seem to ever need even close to 16GB, much less "way north", or even saw it be slow.

Do you believe this would ever become mainstream enough for that to happen? Malware on macOS is fairly rare despite a significant market share.
Microsoft has made three seperate attempts at windows on ARM (Windows RT, Windows 10 for ARM, Windows 10 S). Whether because each attempt produced a more locked down platform than standard windows, or because people prefer compatibility with their existing software over battery life, or because non-M1 ARM chips were not competitive with Intel/AMD even before emulation overhead, none of these attempts took off
How do you figure? The web platform is more or less controlled by the duopoly of Apple & Google, the two dominant browser developers. Toss in Firefox for the outliers and that's the entirety of the platform as is able to exist - the web is too complicated for anyone else to join (case in point, see previously major players, like Microsoft, giving up at it).

If you just mean distribution then that's also not true. Android, Windows, MacOS (although this is eroding), and Linux all have open publishing of native applications.
Apple launches “Safety Check” feature for users facing domestic violence
Thank you! I've been looking for a water-cooled laptop solution. I've tried the fan based laptop coolers and they're basically a waste of time (plus they add to fan noise). This is what I wanted. Nobody sells it, but I don't mind a bit of fabbing.
