Yeah I personally prefer IINA on the Mac because of how native the interface is. Neither VLC or IINA has had trouble paying any video files I have.

Sorry you have to go through that. I hope you are able to get out of Texas at some point.

Out of the loop, what happened to kbin?

People treat it like a mistake but not be able to use the mouse while it’s plugged in is the entire point of the design. Right or wrong the Apple designers thought a cord drag was a bad experience and designed to prevent it.

They probably looked at their target audience and realized there was a certain percentage of folks that would just leave the mouse on the cord 24/7 and wanted to prevent that.

The monopoly position helped for sure but I think it’s glossed over that at one point Internet Explorer was simply the best web browser on the market. It’s was only after years of mismanagement by Microsoft that it gained the reputation it has now. But there was a point in the late 90s early 2000s where Netscape was a super buggy mess and Internet Explorer was the best browser on the market.

That was true for Chrome as well, when that first hit the market it was a light and amazing browser. There were a lot of technology savvy early adopters for Chrome.

I wonder if arm Linux laptops will become more of a thing.

I know Apple silicon has a lot more going on then just arm, but a Linux based device with that kind of efficiency to power ratio would be cool.

The problems is what constitutes as politics is very different to different people. Is a gay man posting about his relationship with his husband political?

What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?

Can anyone expand on that?

It was more that older batteries can’t handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.

It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn’t crash.

Interesting article from on of the co-founders of StackOverflow.

It really depends on your threat model. It’s not a one size fits all thing.

For instance in some threat models you shouldn’t have TOTP auth and passwords on the same device, let alone the same app, but the vast majority of people are not going to carry two devices because of how inconvenient it is.

This even works with some apps that hide the standard part - like Symantec VIP - it’s possible to extract what they are doing and use a standard TOTP app instead of VIP.

I read the original mastodon post by the developer of run0 and I am still don’t understand what the problem with SUID is.

Whats an example of an attack that would work with sudo and doas (which also uses SUID) and not on run0?

Keep in mind that Playboy had a reputation as more than just porn. A lot of really respected authors had work published in Playboy.

I not sure of its culture status when the event in question happened, but it would have been different then say, Penthouse.

This is a good step but I still feel like it’s pretty obscure where a package is actually coming from. “by Google” or for the Steam package “by Valve” is really confusing and makes it sounds like it’s coming directly from the company. Unverified tells the user to pay attention but there is no hover over to say what it actually means.

I am using B2 now - I started using it before they added the encrypted buckets and am using restic to encrypt everything. It’s nice because I don’t really have to trust Blackblaze at this point aside from them not losing my data.

I’ve since additionally turned on encryption on my buckets, but as far as I know they store the key for you, so in terms of privacy it’s not the best.

Great detailed answer. One pedantic nitpick is the Apple typically supports Macs longer then 5-6 years, with the operating system getting security patches for a few years after the last one was released.

Their support cycle has been shorter lately because they seem pretty hell bent on phasing out Intel Macs.

I used to use Fluxbox back in the day, what’s the modern equivalent?
