There was an updater for iTunes or something for MacOS X that would wipe out your home directory if your hard disk had a space in its name. The default name for the Mac hard disk from the factory is “Macintosh HD”.

Microsoft’s thing takes a screenshot of everything on your screen and saves and indexes it. Opened up your password manager and revealed a password? Saved. Opened a porn site in a private tab in any browser aside from Edge? Saved. Opened up a private encrypted chat to try to get away from your abusive partner/parents? Saved and indexed. Logged into a portal at work showing HIPAA information? Saved and indexed.

Apple’s thing is basically a better search feature of all the data you already have saved, that apps have already opted-in to sharing. It runs on device, and Apple has promised they do not send the data back to train the models. They also have some generic ChatGPT-like tool to help rewrite your documents, but that’s 100% opt-in so nobody really cares about it, it’s easy to just not use.

They changed that to appeal to Windows users, people who were raised on Windows are absolutely obsessed with full screening everything for some reason

Once Intel gets to 2nm

So in like 10 years from now?

The biggest spikes look like the correspond to new year. So my guess is that the spikes are vacations and show the difference between home PC and office PC usage.

You can see the same spikes on e.g. Googles IPv6 chart - when people are away from work IPv6 penetration goes up, when people are at work it goes down.

I’m already seeing people come into software dev support forums asking “ChatGPT said you could do this but it’s not compiling” and people replying that no, that’s not possible and them arguing about it because ChatGPT said it.

Once Elon Musk unleashes his “uncensored” AI chat bot, we’re going to be flooded with made-up misinformation, it’s going to be a bloodbath.

It’s such a Microsoft/IBM format. “Let’s use this structural wrapper format! And then just define a format inside one gigantic chunk inside it!”

When Apple had already created AIFF years before and actually used the structure of the wrapper to implement the metadata. And also adopted an open structural format that already existed on Amiga.

No this will likely limit the max antenna range and give you worse radio reception, but will make no difference to the CPU that runs the UI and apps

Well to begin with, it only has one control panel instead of like 3

This one is using their new braided cable instead of the old plastic one

I don’t have the article itself but they used https://subredditstats.com as a source, if you check some of the biggest subs on there you can see clearly in the charts the drop in posts and comments

such as the ability to quickly switch between different sets of Wi-Fi, Ethernet and other network settings depending on the location

They added that back in the x.1 update BTW

MySpace actually let you put in custom CSS and it was a huge free-for-all, everyone’s page looked completely different, and usually it was a tacky unreadable mess of hot pink comic sans text over a bright purple texture background, absolutely horrible but very charming. Facebook very explicitly in contrast allowed no customization at all as a reaction to how bad users could make their pages look.

And beyond the UEFI/boot stuff, it takes 10 minutes just for my ZFS pool to mount

Maybe the new Japanese maglev Chuo Shinkansen will help - they’ve already had Mitsubishi, Nippon Sharyo (JR) and Hitachi build test trains for them

As for storing the private key you could encrypt it with (a derivative of) the user’s password

And now every time a user forgets their password and does password recovery, they lose all their DMs.

E2EE chat is a difficult problem.

Backblaze B2 for automatic syncing of all the little files

Glacier for long term archiving of old big files that never change

Just stupid puns that come to mind when I set it up. Synology NAS is “Rainy” since the box had “be your own cloud” written on it. M1 MacBook is “Apple Pie” because being ARM it’s just a big Raspberry Pi right? Etc
