The Linux kernel's license is copyleft, which has done all of zip, zilch, nada, zero, to prevent large corporations from benefitting from the enormous amount of free labor put into open source.

Git is GPL, this didn't prevent GitHub from becoming a multibillion dollar behemoth of a Microsoft subsidiary.

The value which companies capture is in using software, not modifying it and selling a proprietary version of the modified code. The only way to sustain this misapprehension is to notice every time permissively licensed software makes a company some money, and studiously ignore it every time copylefted software does the same thing.
there's no simplified Linux installer either and every distro creates one and keeps re-inventing it
You can have multiple keyboard layouts installed, and it takes a fraction of a second to switch with a shortcut key (on Windows it's Win-space). I have a Māori keyboard layout installed on my work computer, but I only switch into it to type words with macrons, then switch back (I use ` more often and don't like having to double-press it).
The difficult edge case presented in the opening is that the standard protocol prohibits a decision that sensibly should be made. I feel the obvious fix is to amend the protocol. The time at which an operation occurs should factor into the protocol, we do prefer complex operations to occur when experts are most available. Rather than abandoning the protocol, it should be updated to reflect this. Of course there will still be cases with the protocol doesn’t handle well, but eventually those will be amended as well.
I don't know but who cares? They are just one more among several other GPL violators.

> Compared to prior iPhone models, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are easier to repair. Apple is using an electric battery removal process, and the steps for accessing a battery to replace it are outlined in a separate support document <https://support.apple.com/en-us/120642>. Per Apple's instructions, a 9-volt battery and 9-volt battery clips can be applied to the iPhone 16 battery to remove the adhesive that holds it in place.

"Easier" is relative I guess:

Here’s every tool you’ll need to replace the iPhone 16’s battery https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/20/heres-every-tool-youll-need-t...

* 9-volt battery

* 9-volt battery clips (923-10726)

* Battery press (923-02657)

* Ethanol wipes or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes

* Nylon probe (black stick) (922-5065) or suction cup

* Safety glasses with side shields

* Sand

* Sand container

By contrast, the Treo 650 battery replacement took a few seconds and zero tools.
That’s true, but those are also different agencies, so at a minimum you’re spreading the data (and risk surface). My concerns are generally (though not entirely) around data breaches rather than the collector. And sadly we have ample evidence that federal agencies aren’t always great at securing PII.

But more to the point the reason for doing it is there, for better or worse — want a passport? Have a picture taken. In this case I am (at least for now) comparing opting out or not. You can still take your flight without them taking that additional picture. That of course may not stay true.
It's still the worse unix, if the target market don't care don't change that fact
Why is it necessary to wait? You've already seen the feedback, if you're going to change the license, why promise to do it later?

AML laws are misnamed. They're really something like "report every transaction to the authorities" laws, or "prove yourself innocent to your bank before you transact" laws.

I'm suggesting that the transaction layer is not the point at which crime should be targeted. Doing so requires the entire population being burdened with prior restraint where every they need to jump through hoops for every transaction, and need to give up their privacy altogether.

If criminal acts are generating illicit revenue, then those acts should be investigated and prosecuted. Investigations should be targeted, and done in a manner that respects privacy rights, with authorities obtaining warrants before searching an individual.

Real criminals and crime leave all manner of evidence trails. The dragnet surveillance approach to combating crime, that requires doing away with foundational rights like the right to privacy and the right to be presumed innocent and to freely associate, is not justified in any way.
It is defined as arbitrarily large but not infinite. That's not because of physical concerns, but because some of the theorems don't work if the memory is actually infinite.
There are conventions around that. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/i... Generally, if all the characters are from one script, then it is decoded.

I want Apple to buy Intel so they can own their fabs. Instead of a billion going to TSMC, spend the billion to fix the fabs and the next several billion is profit.
I wonder: Are there any examples of a large company successfully pivoting completely out of what had been its bread-and-butter competency?

I was going to say 3M, because they were originally owned a mine, and had to pivot when the ore was too low grade. But they weren't a large company then.

You could argue that Apple did with the iPhone, but it was only half a pivot, since they're still in the desktop business too.

So don't be too hard on Kodak. They had plenty of time (and warning) to pivot out of film, and they didn't, but very few firms successfully do that.
This is a modern ADAS system, but a lot more stable. The driver is always liable for what their vehicle does. It's not claiming to be FSD and it's very apparent when the system will need additional inputs from the driver.

I have 15k miles on it. Was able to retrofit a friend's 2015 car as well with a bit of additional hardware, and he likes it. He also has FSD on a model3. But OP or FSD, driver always has to pay attention and add their inputs.

Cool. You must be at ATL. I hardly ever run into a line long line at pre check, I am thankful most flyers dont sign up. A line even shorter sounds good, and with global entry and passport, the government has everything it needs to track me down.
That’s really cool.

Ironically... Shareholders.

When you're on the quarter to quarter results rat-in-a-wheel cycle it's easy to forget about the future.

As the product pipeline dries up, shareholders pull back. Leadership either doubles down on the short term to win back shareholder trust (and further neglects the future) and/or leadership is limited in new directions as share prices drop.

Rinse. Repeat.

Live by the shareholder sword, die by the shareholder sword.
The issue long term is that Lunar Lake is built on TSMC, so Intel is netting a fraction per chip of what they'd make if they made it themselves.

Intel is currently investing $7B a quarter into getting their foundries competitive again, and it's not clear yet that they'll be able to really do so at scale. And even if they do, it's not clear whether those foundries can effectively serve customers that aren't Intel.

The reason people trust TSMC to make their chips is because TSMC isn't making a competing chip. If I come to an Intel Foundry with my design and work with them to spin up some new capability to get the features to work right, there isn't much of anything that stops Intel Chips from using that new capability to compete with me in a year.

Well not quite. They keep getting money every year, but officially their mandate expired in the 90’s and has never been renewed. As crazy as that is by itself, they certainly don’t have the authority to do anything.
Also OSS maintainers bear the brunt for interoperability projects while the startups built on those same libraries get handsomely VC funded without ever contributing back.

Any institutionally funded project should be forced to take a percentage of the raise and pay it to the OSS projects/dependencies (even the deep ones they dont see).

thanks.dev is a good platform that does this well.
I'm certainty not advocating for more of this security theater but the genuine and imaginary concerns meld together when we talk about security so I'm more trying to ascertain what's the realistic risk here.

Nothing seems to be wrong, but that was surprising.

Also, it's not obvious from the site that Container Desktop does bundle Podman along wit it, unlike Docker Desktop. The analogy with the latter and the subtitle "Podman Desktop Companion" on the site made me think it might include a bundled Podman installation.

That said I do like the idea, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying it. For context, I'm not a Kubernetes user, mostly just Compose and plain `docker run` for ad-hoc things.

Selling vulnerability on the black market is immoral and may be illegal. The goal of bug bounty programs was initially to signal "we won't sue white hat researchers who disclose their findings to us", when did it evolve into "pay me more than criminals would, or else"?

Given the reputation of groups involved, I expect many people who might have otherwise opted out felt that trying to do so would have revealed there was no efficient opt-out process, just an empty offer of one, or that opting out would have lasting repercussions for their treatment during travel in the future.

Hm, what do you mean? Unless it's an Intel thing:

For AM4: The ASUS card (at least the one I'm looking at) is PCIe4 4x4, while APUs only expose PCIe3. Should still work but over PCIe3 with X570. I've been running PCIe3 4x4 cards from other makers on that chipset and did not notice any issues.

For AM5 I don't see why not?

I have not tried but something like this might be what you are looking for? https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005311953959.html

There are bifurcation cards from other makers with other configurations also exposing two m2 slots, if you look around. E.g. https://www.10gtek.com/nvmessdadapterforu.2ssd

Yeah, git clone --recursive is the main thing I suggest. But unlike Google I include the exact command that you can copy and paste into the terminal to clone the specific repo in question.

And if you're reading the README after cloning it already, there are instructions for sorting that out too, also suitable for copy and paste.

Or if you downloadeded the ZIP from GitHub - I'm sorry. But you won't be left too confused, at least you won't if you read my README, because my README covers this situation as well.

(Also: don't forget to git submodule update after changing branch! But if you're noting everything my README tells you, you won't.)

How much do you really trust discord? Or games on steam, or slack, or zoom client?

Flatpak does provide you, out of the box, with a sandbox for whole discord app. Sandbox is built on standard linux stuff like bubblewrap / seccomp / namespaces. This should prevent discord from, for example, accessing anything other than ~/Downloads (rw), ~/Pictures (ro) and so on. Or seeing what other processess are running on my pc. Or snooping in my ~/.ssh.

Some stuff might not work out of box and will require reading app's README or wiki. I imagine stuff like "john is listening to song - artist" would require additional permission or configuration. File sharing could be complicated if, for example, discord could not access my screenshots directory. Webcam, voice and screen sharing work out of box but are protected by "portals" provided by (in my case) KDE.

Discord, for example, does not pollute my /usr or /home. It stays somewhere in /var/lib/flatpak/ and keeps my user files in ~/.var/app/$APPNAME. Steam, Slack, all other "big proprietary apps" also keep their stuff in ~/.var/app/$APPNAME. It's not really a choice for them; flatpak just mounts proper directories in proper places and it works really well.

You can use `nsenter --target $PID --pid --net --mount --ipc` and look around to what kind of access flatpak apps have to your system.

Sorry about preaching, I just like that bit of additional separation from stuff I don't really want to trust or care about.
No it’s much worse, python3 was all round better, it just took a while to get all your dependencies ported which made the transition hard. Judging by the comments it doesn’t seem like people agree that ROS2 is even all round better from ROS.
Most of the vulnerabilities I've disclosed, and I've seen disclosed, were disclosed for free, with no expectation of getting anything. Why do you think every researcher is an amoral penny pincher who will just sell exploits without caring for the consequences?

The case is redeemable. It may still be an opportunity if handled deftly. But it would require an almost theatrical display of generosity to the white hat (together, likely, with a re-constituting of the engineering team).

Their syntax does look strikingly similar to the API we launched with a couple of years ago: `ctx.run("id", () => {})` vs `step.run("id", () => {})`.

It's good to see the ecosystem form around the APIs we've developed. From feedback we've received, they're easy to use.

Some cars that have BSD it will work with. My car uses it, but don't forget the lane changes are not automated by default. A user must turn on the blinker and nudge the wheel by default. Positive BSD sensors read on CAN-BUS will be read by OP and it will not perform the rest of the lane change. This is how it works on my car (albeit, I don't run default so I just need the blinker).

Steve Jobs articulated xerox's failure well, which I think applies mostly to kodak, some to intel, and I've no clue about VW. tldr:

Sales and marketing were the main groups who could impact the company's bottom line. So those were the folks that got promoted and pushed to the top. When they lead the company, they don't focus on products+innovation. Because they failed to innovate (or capitalize on their innovation - e.g. their gui) competitors did (e.g. apple).

They fail to make great products.

Nothing on a network is truly internal. The moment you break the physical link between metal and man you're in an unintuitive, and thus insecure, state.

Then make it not so, we aren't forced to live with the status quo for eternity.

The law wouldn't be banning people recording faces. It would be much more specific: corporations can't record peoples faces at a mass scale to log them away and sell the data for a profit. If there's any edge cases to this, then let the courts handle it. We let the courts sort out grey areas already, that's their job.

Hi all. My partner has been a fan of simplistic games like crossword puzzles, Wordle, and the similar offerings by the New York Times. We play together pretty frequently.
