The difference is that my ad blocker is quick and painless to set up, where TiVo involved some capital and planning.

TIL acetaminophen isn’t a worldwide thing :)
The whole Tylenol thing is because they’re the ones who originally patented it. Same for Advil and ibuprofen.
Once upon a time print shops would only accept files in Quark Xpress format. Eventually, they came to accept InDesign documents too. They have licenses for the software and workflows and toolchains set up to integrate those files into their existing prepress and press systems.
LaTeX is purely for academic markup for postscript printing. VivaDesigner and its kind? Only niche and hobby layout and print.
That said, I only share in PDF now, so I use other software for the layout phases and don’t care that it isn’t portable to other shops.
It’s in the article; newer gen chips will have extra DRM that will prevent the hacks from working.
Oh, you meant when will the anti-hacks stop?
Bless your heart….
Dual PIN is a great idea; I’d also love an emergency PIN that invalidates the token silently (so you can enter it under duress).
All his troubles seemed so far away,
But those song lyrics are all here to stay.
Nope. Bill left MS in 2008 and Windows 7 came out in 2009.
Also the joke left out Windows 10x, AKA 11.
And for some reason, it includes NT and Win2k, but leaves out all the other Server versions (2003 through 23H2).
Anything faster would be a safety issue.
How else are they going to win the rail pod challenge?
A train is a collection of rolling railcars propelled by one or more locomotives. These are individual self-powered railcars.
So no, there’s no train here. Just monorail pods that will get congested as density increases.
The whole concept of a train is that all the cars move together and the only congestion is at the switching yards, where it can be optimized.
This isn’t helped by most websites reinventing themselves every couple of years so the old links 404 even though the content still exists.
I’ve used it to tweak a speech I was writing to make it more appropriate to my intended audience….
The company I work for has acquired a number of small companies over the years; the result has been a mixed bag. In one case, the original product and employees were dropped completely, only retaining the IP. In a number of other cases, the original teams and products were kept intact with cross-over between products plus a huge boost in funding and customers over the years. In most cases, the companies were absorbed into existing management structures and the employees and technologies deployed inside the existing product line, sometimes with a few things that didn’t match the company strategy sold off or spun off into their own company.
Personally, I consider all the acquisitions except the single case where everything was abandoned to be a success; in that case, the exec in charge of acquisition was made redundant when everything else shut down.
He sounds like a professional fall guy to me; who hired him? I bet THEY were the real ones to blame for what happened.
Can you though? LS now operates in user mode, which means it can no longer block traffic sent to Apple via a kernel thread.
It’s all a bit pointless though, as a LOT of hardware now calls home as well, and it doesn’t matter what OS to run on top of it unless you’re running something like TempleOS. Vanilla Linux is not going to protect you by itself. And if you’re using a repository system for software updates, that’s going to be reporting your software too — and many web browsers also report the URLs you go to (or even consider going to) and what extensions you have loaded.
But that article points at a solution for macOS users: it’s the certificates that are being checked. Any non-bog-standard software I run is not notarized or signed, and it functions just fine and has nothing to send back to Apple’s servers. First time I run it I need to right click and select Open to run the app, and this bypasses the entire signer system.
This is most likely the culprit. On my work computer I have regular powershell scripts set by IT that run regularly to manage profile settings, push updates, etc.
They’d need to unionize first.
It’s expensive to live in tech communities. All the workers would need to move their families to somewhere more affordable and demand to work from home, on top of everything else, and they’d need to have enough savings to afford that. Right now, tech workers tend to carry debt, which is the bane of collective action.
What we really need today is NextCloud images that are so easy to set up that anyone can run one on their computer, phone, or a cloud hosting service with just a few clicks. And adding in federated services would be the next obvious step — first store all your own stuff where you can access it and share selected bits with others, and then have a small pool where you automatically see the stuff others in your groups have made public.
A problem I’m having these days is that a LOT of resources I used around the start of http never got indexed by Archive.org and are now offline. But people still have that stuff stored locally, and would likely be willing to share if they knew others were interested in it.
I remember when I had to set my VCR to record a program I wanted to watch; if YouTube gets that bad, I’ll just do the same thing; pre-record the video stream and skip the commercials.
