Man, don't even say that! I'm seriously worried about Google Photos going away. I'm running Ente in parallel but it just isn't there yet. Especially on iOS.
I had to put a huge amount of effort to move away from Google - actually Google nuked the amount and I never knew why (I had no connections at Google, so that didn't work out). So I anyway do not use Google at all.

Now I carefully ensure that I am not depending on Apple/iCloud for anything either, because honestly that is just like Google and even though you can reach a human being at Apple, their support (at least in India) seems to be trained to perfection in stone-walling you and denying you even an escalation.

So no, I hope this passkey thing is optional or there are third party players (Mozilla?, BitWarden? etc) in this play. And I hope there will always be a recovery option that will be just user's and not with with the passkey provider "by design".

But knowing Apple and Google I think they will make it infinitely harder for any third party to become an option on their devices or platform that there won't really be a competition. It would be worse than the case where "iOS has alternative browsers, but not really". I somehow have a bad feeling about this passkey thing unless third party providers get to become, by explicit user permission and setup, A first class citizen of passkey on. a device.

It’s a statement from the Engineering Manager of the “Authentication Experience” team. Ricky’s not a random unknown Apple developer, they’re someone with knowledge and authority on these matters. And as far as I know they’ve been reliable regarding what they share publicly.

This is a recent, as in last week, graphics pipeline overhaul for raytracing. Not saying your issue won't still happen, I haven't tested it, but if your basing your impressions off of the old hybrid raytracing modes, might be worth checking the new stuff out.
I was once the CTO for a small educational startup/company that was trying to make small (10ish people) portable planetariums. The goal was to install them in schools or other children/family friendly areas and serve the edu-tainment market.

It's actually quite interesting how many design and technical problems we had to solve to make the planetarium a "breathtaking" experience. Some interesting ones.

* Projection optics for a curved surface are a whole other ball game to a flat cinema screen. Pixel sizes change radically across the surface, and you have to use a combination of optics, clever encoding and film making to keep the perceived quality uniform across the entire surface.

* The gold standard for planetariums is that when each person looks at the "center" of the screen, no part of their visual field extends past the edge of the screen. That ensures the complete immersive experience. I ended up diving into biology and medicine literature to understand the size of the human visual field across age. At the same time, spent far too much time playing with the geometry of the planetarium.

* Air change. I found out that commercial spaces (concert halls or airplanes etc) change the entire air several times an hour. I then went about trying to min-max the number of air changes while keeping the exhaust fan noise levels imperceptible in this very small planetarium.

And many more. I also found interesting ideas. One publication claimed that if you played a loud sound, along with some sudden air flow changes just before starting your show, the audience would relax more. I wasn't able to implement or experimentally test this.

Special shoutout to the European Space Agency, who released many high quality full length planetarium shows under open licenses.
Well, that is it worked on Windows as well ( up until Windows ME ), load DOS first and then Windows.

You could still do it that way if you want. Windows 11 needs a boot loader. No reason you cannot write a DOS based one.

The comment about game.exe above probably refers to the days of “DOS Extenders” that games were based on. You would launch a game from DOS and, instead of just running a 16 bit DOS executable, it would switch into 32 bit mode and use a “DOS extender” to run the game.

“DOS extenders” are really just operating systems though that use DOS as a boot loader. Popular options for DOS games and programs were DOS/4GW, Phar Lap, and Quarterdeck ( from memory ). There were many others.

Windows 95 was really a “DOS extender” too.
The practical way is to stay the fuck away from Google - completely. At least for me it didn't take an effort.

The only Google app/service I have not been able to find an alternative for is Google Maps so I use that without logging in (no, in my geographic location there is no option - Apple Maps is worse than pathetic here and OSM apps are fancy things to install and uninstall once in a while).
Ghosted: The films “too bad” for the cinema
Yep, my Pixel 2 is as good as dead because the bootloader can't be unlocked, Google refuses to do anything about it, and software updates stopped a long time ago. Great way to lose me as a customer.
Well, "hope" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Google is still very much bound by the law regarding advertising and declaration of utility of sold product. The law gives them broad leeway as to the implementation, but if they decided tomorrow "hey you know how you can unlock your devices that we advertised as unlocked on our store? We changed our minds, the devices sold can no longer be unlocked," that would be grounds at the very least for return with refund, and a lawsuit if Google didn't honor that.
Are you using it as a daily driver? Seems like every time I look into Linux phones, there's always been some fundamental bit of functionality that wasn't working yet, like waking from sleep for phone calls. Are we beyond that now?
Racket has supported Windows since I tried it out in high school, which was a long, long time ago.

The thing with Schemes is that you can implement one in an afternoon, and you can probably add some neato feature in the same afternoon, so there are a ton of Schemes out there. But you can't build community, ecosystem of libraries, platform support, etc. that you would want for a language you're going to use in production.

Racket has been around for a long time, is used in various production systems, and has a solid community. It actually has the best standard library I know of for writing desktop GUIs, which might not be much of a claim to fame in 2023, but makes it super useful for writing small desktop tools. It definitely does some things better than others, like any language, but I think I'd be comfortable committing to it for a production project any day, which is more than I can say for any other Scheme.
OnePlus has no such restrictions that I've seen, from the One to the 8T. I haven't heard of them locking down newer ones either. You just run the usual command to unlock the bootloader, no funny business. I've run a custom ROM on all of them that I've owned.
I just got (as a trade from a client) a NiB 3090Ti. I haven't opened it yet. Is the 4090 really that much better? Honest question.

I'd suggest giving https://beyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=... a more careful read.

> The Fair Representation Act would move US House elections into multi-member districts drawn by independent redistricting commissions, and elected through ranked choice voting. The multi-member districts would be effective in states apportioned six or more seats in the House, and would elect three to five Representatives each, depending on the size of the state. Taken together, these three measures would incentivize congressional candidates to appeal to a broader range of voters.

> One scale is how well power is spread across the institutions of government and society, the legislative, judicial and executive branches, the institutions of press, academy, industry, religion, society... are they independent, or all bent to serve the executive, and now many and how much?

That's nice, but let a country figure that out on their own. You don't get to decide that measurement for the billions of humans who are barely surviving. Look at China, so long as the economy is good the people mostly support the CCP, outside of its handling if covid lockdowns one could even argue the CCP had more popular support than either parties ever had in the US in the last 20+ years! That's what upsets me about you people, i don't care about autocracies and dictators or democracies but you freaking claim to give a shit about what the people think but when they disagree with your way of life you pretend the measurement or polling must be incorrect. Ideologies are cheap, people care about results, they want food, shelter and security before ideology and for many they would not trade their identity and sovreignity for imported ideology. Why you all can't focus your energy here at home where many of your fellow citizens are suffering I would never know.

Yea, democracy and sovreignity are not mutually exclusive but they become mutually exclusive if foreign forces manipulate domestic media and fund or sabotage different elemnts in a country. Even saying a country would be better off with democracy is propaganda and an attempt to influence domestic matters of a foreign country. Look at how many people died in the arab spring because if this same propaganda spread by western clueless people or what's happening in Iran, your propaganda worked, your interference coninues to cause chaos, your assumptions and unwillingness to respect a nation's sovreignity causes harm!
> A company should not have the ability to render millions of devices useless because they purposefully or accidentally shut off a provisioning service

Isn't this considering a hypothetical scenario where somebody buys one of these phones, tosses it in a drawer for years, and only later comes back to discover the provisioning server is gone?

If you buy one of these phones it says it can be unlocked and you can't unlock it, Google is obligated to take it back for a refund or to eat a lawsuit from aggrieved customers for false advertising.

> The prohibitions on ending a sentence with a preposition, “less” before a count noun, etc. are all made up out of thin air.

Yes, as is not splitting infinitives. All nonsense. But "comprised of" is not nonsense. "Irregardless" is wrong". Etc. Not all prescriptions are nonsense.
Is this in the Imperial Mall quest in Pacifica? Have to hack into a van or something, then talk to some Netwatch guy? A quest trigger bugged there for me as well last week, there was a door that should be open that wasn't, had to reload an earlier autosave and replay for it to trigger properly.

Other than that one large bug, the game has been great, little bit of jank but no worse than say, Skyrim without the community bug patch. I only purchased it in the last steam sale so missed all the rough stuff.

And that is reliability?
Your position implies that there is no way to determine the difference between reputable media and disreputable media; that all stories must be considered with equal weight in the equation that is "the media". I can form an opinion of something without personal experience by considering the reputation of the source(s), and when reputable sources tend to agree and only the low-value sources dissent, I can have a confidence in my opinion that is better than just plotting all points on a graph with equal weight.

Once I feel that I have a good view of an issue, using information weighted by reputation, I can make a statement like "This article appears inconsistent with the likely narrative, but consistent with someone who has been conned by a conman" without needing to justify my position directly, or abstracted away from the story. If you have a real alternative, you need to present it, but simply questioning someone's methodology is somewhere between irrelevant and disingenuous. At the very least, it adds little to the discussion of the issue at hand -- even more so in casual conversation where people are expressing a personal opinion of little or no real importance beyond this tiny little puddle. I mean, who is really going to respond to something like your comment with a couple of paragraphs to justify one sentence? ;)

We're talking about a cell phone though, right? A device that sooner or later is going to be connected to a cellular internet that will track it relentlessly?

I'd imagine the demographic that is buying the cell phone and then not intending to use it as a phone is not one that Google is losing a lot of sleep over serving poorly.
Can you elaborate on your OnePlus comment about less freedom? Last I checked you could still unlock the bootloader and flash LineageOS right away.

But you and I can -by our own choices- resist some evolutions of the language and foster others. We can be anywhere from pedantic prescriptivists to outrageously innovative and everything in between.

Tutanota has two major irreconcilable drawbacks:

- They do not let you use any other client -- that's a bummer but let's say I can live with that

- But the real bugger is - while they allow catch-all, they (actually their clients because you can't use something like Apple Mail, or Thunderbird) do not allow sending email from "any" email address even on your own domain, which is the mandatory compliment to catch-all, and without it catch-all is half useless.

Note: Though I have never quite understood their reasoning for not allowing you to use other clients -- the mails to other domains/providers anyway go unencrypted and just like any other email in the world. This is a weird kind of walled garden.

I know for me I played Cyberpunk at launch and loved it, ran into a few bugs but it was nothing show stopping for me. But I was also playing on an Xbox Series X so I know I missed out on the issues with the old consoles and PC.

Fabless is nice, and the air can do a good job, but the real kicker is the non-airs also just generally don’t make the fans kick in - even building massive amounts of code doesn’t seem to do it.
