Not defending MS, but keyboards already have controllers and have since at least the original PC (probably much earlier than that but I'm not very familiar with old mainframe terminals). Considering how many SKUs already exist for different layouts and the like, this isn't that big of a burden - at most, this requires updated firmware and pad printing layouts, and firmware already changes a decent amount as controllers and membrane layouts are modified for new SKUs and cost-reduction. And it's not like they have to update their existing stock or retool their lines right now, the phase-in will likely take some time.

Also, unless I missed something, I don't think the article says one way or another how this will be implemented. It could be a new scancode or emulate a key combo.

Title is a bit incorrect though the body quickly clarifies. They claim they’ve cracked the log encryption on device, not the protocol itself.

> The Beijing institute developed the technique to crack an iPhone’s encrypted device log to identify the numbers and emails of senders who share AirDrop content

It would require unfettered access to a device/backup or probably a zero day to bootstrap it. Both are things I suspect they’d try, but it does change the substance of the claim significantly, as well as ease of updating encryption techniques for OS updates.

> > are weaknesses from an investor standpoint

They solely qualify as weaknesses in this modern world where the stock and bond market eat the world.

In the past investing simply meant making money without having to do any work, so even an extremely small profit made without working meant good news for the investor, because the risk free rate was just sitting on top of it and make zero profit, or even negative profit because you had to defend your money against thieves and rats, humidity and sunshine.

Of course nowadays every investment opportuinity is compared against the US Treasury or the SP500 in terms of volatility, liquidity, stability etc...

That's also the reason why we should break up big banks, big banks are always in capital conservation mode and so they will always compare a lending opportuinity against the SP500 and Fed Rate, always inveitably picking the latter even when it's zero. Because for them capital conservation and status quo=winning given that they are so big and powerful already. A small bank is hungry to grow and can only do that by giving out risky loans.

Alternatively the entrepreneur should give some kickbacks to the guy within the big bank who takes the responsibility to extend him loan instead of dumping those funds into Fed Rate and SP500.

An other alternative would be that people stop trusting public companies because cooking the books is trivial and the big 4 auditing companies are clueless anyway, so that at least some of those funds end up being availible for loans at the local level where gossip dominates the conversation and that's a much better instrument to evaluate a company than rating agencies and auditing companies.

What ever you may think of the US, it is also home to SpaceX which is doing some amazing things wrt to "space".

Sure, in come the socialists, and I agree with them and like living in Europe... Still, Europe is not fertile ground for companies like SpaceX. Please don't take this comment as Europa or the US is superior. I'm just saying they're different.

> or all distributed copies have to always be kept in sync somehow

This isn't actually true. The collaborators simply have to ... collaborate. It depends on what the goal is with the data being kept in git. Git doesn't tell you how to collaborate.

It could be that the group elects one person (e.g. Alice) to do releases, so, it stands that only that code which reaches Alice will ever get released. If that doesn't happen, you haven't collaborated correctly.

It could be that any one of the group could release, in that case you collaborate to get your commits to any of those people.

It could be that there are no releases ever made, and the group loosely exchanges their branches to build whatever interests them.
Oh ffs. So really for you the quality of the hardware, the price, the whole experience—these things are irrelevant because you can’t sideload. It’s an Apple product what did you expect? “This is the year of Linux on desktop” people are not the intended customers.
Of course, at some point you probably want an authoritative main branch from which you make your releases (though there can be forks, too).

I meant more in terms of development. The way git is used most of the time is by having a main branch on GitHub, that contributors clone, work on a feature branch, then make a PR, have QA test it, and merge it. If that cycle is too slow, many times the devs will start complaining because they are "stuck until the branch is merged". Because the assumption is that everybody branches from the main branch.

But git was designed around the email workflow. Instead of a PR, you make a patch (or a group of patches), that you can share with others. For instance, you can share a patch with a colleague from your team, who will review it and incorporate it in their branch before it gets merged into main. That way they are testing it by using it. At some point your changes get merged into the main branch, and your coworkers can just apply their patches on top of it.

We can imagine a workflow with a hierarchy of maintainers: devs at the lower level send patches to their supervisor, who after a while sends them up to their supervisor, up to the main branch.

PRs flatten all that. Devs typically never learn how to deal with patches, and the review process ends up being "rebase on main, run the CI, then I'll skim through your code, I'll complain about some variable names and I'll approve without even pulling your code" (I'm exaggerating a bit, of course).

I think there is a lot of value in learning the git email workflow.

This post (not mine) is about this: https://web.archive.org/web/20170823054920/https://dpc.pw/bl...

And of course SourceHut (https://sourcehut.org/, not mine) is a great forge built around the email workflow.
Let's say Apple gets forced to allow third party app stores. Would there be anything stopping Apple from requiring those app stores to have real, actual individual be responsible for the actively policing those stores for things like fraud and actual malware? For example if there are too many reports of fraud or abuse though some store Apple could hold that individual responsible and or withdraw the signing key for their store? I would guess something like could help.
Getting it for free with your Apple device sounds like "monetise it via the sale of hardware devices" which they supposedly don't do.

Nebula was the tech that I watched very closely and it inspired me a lot.

I would love to have such tech nowadays, but focused on 2D/light-3D mobile games :)
These were 'interventions'. When you can bomb somebody and but there is no credible thread that your own population can be bombed back then it's not really a war. Your population doesn't feel the 'heat' and will not accept any inconveniences of ramping back domestic production
It was designed around the email workflow, which is distributed by default: you send your patches to a mailing list, which is distributed between all the email servers and clients. And it's easy to host mirrors, too.

GitHub and the PR workflow tend to make it all centralized.

It's important to remember that this was the first launch of ULA's new rocket, the first launch BO's new engine, and the first launch of anything for Astrobotic. This was a very experimental launch with a payload only slightly more serious than when SpaceX launched a car on Falcon Heavy's inaugural launch. They will all learn a lot and try again.
It doesn't matter how Apple markets it to consumers.

The law was written in a certain technical way, and what's relevant here is whether it counts as 1 or 5 stores according to the law.

It's the same way you could claim Amazon is 1 store, or 58 stores (1 for each country) or 2.5 million stores (for each third-party seller).

They're all correct for different purposes, and none of them have anything to do with whatever Amazon writes in marketing material.

Likewise, it's perfectly valid for Apple to argue that the law considers the size of an app store per operating system, since an app for one OS doesn't necessarily run on another.

The argument might succeed or it might not. But it doesn't have anything to do with marketing copy.
If your business depends upon having a monopoly to be sustainable then it isn't a sustainable business.

Competition is good, actually, and is essential for a functioning free market. When you have insufficient competition, you end up with a situation where large companies can exercise tyrannical power over consumers and their own employees by all colluding informally or formally. That doesn't happen if you have a functioning market where a consumer can switch to a competitor or an employee can quickly change jobs if a company is misbehaving.
I don't know, it doesn't to me. To me it sounds like they provide a convenient free service like many other free services (Telegram, WhatsApp, ...), but limit it to their actual customers so it stays limited in scope and they don't need to start selling data and ad space like others do to support it.

> Surely somebody at rockstar had, yknow, played the game? And noticed they were losing hours of their life on a loading screen?

Actually, my understanding is that most devs don't really play the games they build, at least not in the way that people do. (Anecdotal evidence is that quality-of-life features tend not to come from developers very often). And even when they do play the games, internally, it's likely on an internal branch, with internal mocking of things like servers and the like, so a loading time bug that scales quadratically with content is unlikely to be something that would surface in internal playtesting. I also doubt they're playing their games on their own time; if you're already working 40 hours or so each week on the game, it's probably not a feeling of unwinding to put in another 5 or 6 hours on your own time after you come home from work.

Your taxes go up a bit because, yes, taxes are graduated. But it’s not as big a deal, and your SS is capped. A house hold making $450k/year in a high COL is still going to be doing much better than 200k in a low COL.

Lots of costs aren’t indexed to the area you live in. Computer, phones, trips to Mexico, and to some extent cars cost similar in SF as they do in Mississippi. Food prices don’t vary as much either, their might be a 20% difference, but not 3X, same with medical (really, housing is the main thing that is very much more expensive, everything else is slightly more expensive to the same price).

Your retirement savings include your house, so you have a career in SF and then retire to New Mexico, the locals will hate you and your crazy home equity you bring with you.

Is Apple trying to pull an Amazon when they said they were a half dozen entities in EU and therefor did not qualify as a big company? ( perhaps even a small business.. )

The DMA is an antitrust statute. While sure, you can argue that Apple operates different stores as a matter of implementation, it strains reason to claim that they somehow compete with each other.
