That's because of all useful apps for Windows are not sandboxed. This is where the apps vendor have to do the required work but they are too lazy to do that.

Wow ive been hoping to do something very similar! If you're open to chatting a little more, i would love to learn a bit about how you do this - my email is in my profile or i will contact you if you drop an email here.

You're correct, but also I'm reasonably certain that, as much bullshit the list of Win 11 supported CPUs is, all the CPUs on it have fTPM 2.0 available.
This reply is very true and should be higher up.

Squatting occurs almost exclusively in second residences, abandoned properties, and places reclaimed by the banks, etc.

If you can prove that the house is your primary residence, the police will oust the squatters promptly. As a result, squatters will not target a house that is clearly 'lived in'.
Supply and demand don't exactly work on an inelastic market like rent. You can't wait until find an acceptable price, you need a roof today.
You can't accumulate, so you only look for rent when you don't have one and NEED one.

Landlords, on the other hand, can accumulate, and leave properties empty, sometimes for years, until someone desperate enough arrives.
Rent is not grain where they must sell it by a deadline or it goes bad.

It's a market disproportionately skewed in favor of the landlords.
> more ideological than practical grounded developers who accept that competition of private standards will bring out the best user experience, each platform having its customized architecture.

There's no clean answer here. You push that mentality of "Customers first" too hard, and you get the PS3; an unwieldy architecture that devs are forced to support but end up with worse ports than the Xbox 360. The customer doesn't necessarily "win" here.

You push developers first too hard and you get Linux. You can do anything you want if you dig deep enough. But as we all know, the common consumer barely reads the tutorial, let alone learns how to configure complex settings in a CLI.

There needs to be some middle ground, and not making developers duplicate their work for every new private business is at least a starting point.

>Maybe the society of worldwide developers had better things to do than spend precious time on Vulkan.

Given MacOS's marketshare, I'm sure they did. Let's not pretend that the few metal games we have on Desktop wasn't built on the grounds of some Candy Crush clone that generated billions of dollars 10 years ago and justified the forced upgrade (we can definitely justify from there if "making candy crush run faster" is a better thing to do. But it pays the bills, I guess).

Very few devs want to support Mac and the numbers speak for themselves.
I actually know one of the guys who faked this data from a young age. He was basically losing his mind because of rage issues due to his extreme phobia of being poor/ falling into poverty. It’s interesting to me how these companies basically played into his fear of losing his funding to push this BS.
Attestation closes this vulnerability, for example through tools like Ultrablue [1] which provides a self-hosted method of verifying that the TCB has not been modified through external tool (in this case, your phone running Ultrablue)

> The thing with monopoly laws is it doesn’t matter how you got into pole position. The point is that you’re illegally utilizing tangential benefits of the pole position to maintain that position as well as enter new markets.

This depends on jurisdiction, and what judges you get.

Eg Standard Oil was slapped with anti-trust law, despite neither having a monopoly nor exploiting its market share like a monopoly. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil#Legacy_and_critic... or https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-that-standard-oil-was-a-pr...

> Some economic historians have observed that Standard Oil was in the process of losing its monopoly at the time of its breakup in 1911. Although Standard had 90 percent of American refining capacity in 1880, by 1911, that had shrunk to between 60 and 65 percent because of the expansion in capacity by competitors.
We can talk about vulnerabilities that’s the first decent point I’ve seen in this entire comment section.

So youre saying that since there will be vulnerabilities (discovered and hopefully patched quickly) this Is a privacy violation?

If anything what you point out is good, we should all audit the feature on launch. Probably gonna be some good bug bounties here.
This reminds me of one issue that I've encountered at Rustup. Early versions of ARM64 Pi OS actually use a 32-bit userland. As a result, this has caused user complaints since our installer sees a 64-bit kernel and will happily download a 64-bit binary (which will then refuse to run): https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/issues/3307#issuecomment...
It partially boils down to Spain having very little new construction. In a little eastern european country with 10 million people like Hungary there are roughly just as many new developments on the market as in a big country like Spain, with 40M population.

Hungary: more than 2k new houses, and there are more than 5k new apartments to buy.
https://ingatlan.com/lista/elado+haz+uj-epitesu

In Madrid province, there are around 700 new houses+apartments to buy
https://www.idealista.com/en/venta-obranueva/madrid-provinci...

This problem is now so big local governments are now building new houses.

The rental issues are interesting because for example in Germany, the rental protections are very similar, maybe even more protecting than Spain. (Interestingly the prices are also lower in Germany, in Madrid prices start from 650+utilities, in Munich, 500+utilities)

that is not correct. digital sensors detect frequencies above the nyquist limit all the time, which is why they need an analog antialiasing filter in front of them. what they can't do is distinguish them from baseband aliases

you could just as correctly say 'nyquist-shannon theory is not generally applicable; it requires a bandlimited signal' (which is why compressed sensing doesn't violate it)

Some years ago I did some research on the use of foils to make lab-on-a-chip devices. To makes some experiments work (i.e. like FISH [0]), one needs formamide (although there are alternatives). Kapton [1] turned out to be one of the very few polymers to be able to withstand it, and also ethanol. I found out is was used for solar sails as well [2] (as original PDF, url is not working atm).

My startup is a hardware company where we are our own customer. You absolutely can iterate these kinds of projects instead of top-down waterfall planning based development. It just requires dog-fooding the product and using mockups or simulations for parts that haven’t been implemented yet.
> Your iPhone must be factory new or reset to factory settings to pair with the Move to iOS app and move data from your Android phone

As I pointed out in the post, this was pretty much the dealbreaker for me. I had initially set up the iPhone without all of my accounts, just for development, but had gradually carried over my accounts and the apps I need to use. And then I find out that I’d basically need to wipe all of the progress and start over, just because the data move can’t be initiated with an already set up phone (which probably made developing the app easier, but at the same time limits its usefulness).

> For those people there is no "spirit" or "true law".

Actually, there is. Many judges take various interpretations of the 'spirit' into account. See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Originalism for one example.

And if the courts use some 'spirit' guide them, companies and their lawyers better try and predict what that 'spirit' recommends.

For his cultural goals he wasn't wrong.

His aim wasn't to just give more people access to classical music with whatever means (a la "worse is better"), but to give more people the appreciation of classical music that refined educated listeners had. To treat them as capable for that, as opposed to needing "dumbing down".

Part of that was maintaining the primacy of music over unrelated attached things, like the televised image.

Given how songs could be made hits because of their video in the MTV era, this was still prescient for popular too.

Google under Larry Page was a marvel od technology. Search that actually worked, Gmail was a revolutionary email client, GMaps, Android. Google I/O was something to look forward to.

I thought they are invincible. Now look what’s happening under Pichai. Look at the blunders with their AI. Azure came out of nowhere and is better than Google Cloud. All the failed instant messaging clients. They are heading into irrelevance. Sure, ads are still printing money. But what’s their plan? Playing catch-up with their inferior AI? They lack quality product people and customer focus. You hear from everywhere how their dev culture turned into bureaucratic swamp. They have money to roll over anyone yet they are unable to show anything exciting. They can make ambitious bets.

Compare to Microsoft: under Gates, a tech person, rising. Ballmer, a bean counter almost ran it to the ground. Now with Satya Nadella they are thriving again. Embracing open source, Linux and collaboration with other tech companies rather than isolating their empire. I believe with Nadella, Microsoft could actually pull the mobile.

When I was in college, I dreamt about working at Google. If you offered me a job at Microsoft, I would scoff. Now it’s the other way.

Bean counters tend to focus on short term profits. Tech people can have actual strategy and see further than Q4 EBITDA.

Hibernate does not "just work" though. Every system update causes settings to come unbolted. The screen starts shutting off at the 30-second mark, being super aggressive until you do an `xset -dpms` to turn it off. Killing Gnome from the system console and restarting will make it use whatever other setting it's supposed to use, but it doesn't "just work."

Granted, this won't be for every flavor of Linux, just the one I happen to be using. I imagine there's all kinds of different issues with the proliferation of Window Managers and graphics servers. Users looking for "just works" are not looking to dive into the various overlapping software processes.

Worse, the UIs themselves don't give you insight into what underlying settings you're manipulating when you click some button or toggle in the GUI settings. As a Linux user you know there's a conf file somewhere. But the UI obscures that from you. Perhaps the doc (or the source code (!)) says what the UI is doing. I'd love for there to be a little fly-over in the UI or even a path to the underlying configuration files. I'd be perfectly happy tweaking those in Emacs or Vim but I'm less happy hunting them down to figure out what they are.

I'm determined to avoid Windows, and I want x86 hardware because I can load it up for AI workloads. So I'm happy to be on Linux, but it comes with an overhead that most consumer level equipment doesn't. Linux is the equivalent of those shop tools that aren't safe by default, and are intended to provide the flexibility needed by machinists that know what they're doing. I'll accept that trade-off, but I'm not going to sell it to anyone who is a developer.

Kaczynski may not like Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy, but something his teachers probably failed to point out is that even in that world one has a choice: between the Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy or the islands.

It really shocked me that it took people so long to figure this out. When I used Rust, I found it really quite unpleasant for prototyping, which if I understand it correctly is essentially all you are doing during game development. I imagine someone who stuck at it for a long time would learn a lot of strange lessons very quickly and eventually start churning out a lot of very odd code, I know I started to do that after a while. Indeed some of the stuff in this article reminds me of the stuff I used to make. When you want to make a programming language work in ways it just isn't designed for, you end up making a lot of smelly code. I see this in C++, so I'm not entirely surprised it shows up in Rust also. Rust is designed by C++ programmers to service their needs so it logically also replicates the shortcomings of C++.

Use a high level language for your logic, and a low level one to optimise your hot loop. Have we not learned this lesson already? It is almost always easier to design something at a high level and migrate parts of it downwards as necessary.
Yeah. As a logged-in user I can see it, but it is not playing yet.
