I've only ever heard "jailbroken" as using exploits to take control of a device that is intended by the vendor to be locked down - hence, breaking out of jail. I've only ever really heard of it being a term on iOS devices - on Android it's known as "rooting".

Bootloader unlocked generally means that the vendor permits the execution of arbitrary operating system code, ie there is no jail to break out of.

There is a famous clip of Jobs trying to demo the ROKR on stage at an Apple press event. His disdain is palpable.

Presumably, an unexpected increase in CO2 would be a proxy for intruders.

Presumably because it’s cheaper to use evaporative cooling

Presumably the demand for golf courses isn’t growing at the same rate as datacenters.

It's >700MB on macOS too, though.

Probably because a competitive phone is a much bigger effort than a special purpose device

There was almost an even worse collision at Kennedy on Wednesday as well that only just came to light https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW6lAwLy_Os

Huh seems they switched away a few years ago due to tariffs. TIL.

I thought EVGA were just rebadged SuperFlower anyway?

Right so it’s present in all shipping versions of Java back to at least 8, and the reproduction case works fine on Sonoma pre-14.4. Ergo, Apple changed something in 14.4 (a minor patch release), and it broke something in Java. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

It’s possible that Java was doing something very weird, maybe undocumented/unsupported; but it’s not clear how this is anything other than Apple making a change (which I don’t see documented in their release notes) and breaking users.

FTFA:

> The issue was not present in the early access releases for macOS 14.4, so it was discovered only after Apple released the update.

There were some security fixes that were marked as under active exploitation in macOS 14.4, so my money is on those landing very steep close to the release date and this being fallout from that.

Recommend listening to the segment on the Waveform podcast about it - they say Fisker was weird from the get go, they asked for a loaner vehicle to review and Fisker kept trying to offer them money (that they didn’t want).

It happened to me on a brand new PC (MSI Z790 motherboard) when I updated the BIOS, with a brand new Windows 11 license purchased from the MS store. It looked like the BIOS update was clearing fTPM keys or something. I ended up hitting my activation limit and had to call in and spend 1.5 hours speaking to various levels of escalation, uploading various invoices as proof of purchase, and then eventually they issued me an alternative product key which has worked ever since.

Not much human civilisation 2.5 million years ago...

Hmm, perhaps my memory is from more like the $15-20 price point. Lower sale price would result in greater percentage being eaten by fees for sure. I remember using eSellerate c. 2005 and it was much less than 30%.

Isn't that mostly through mobile stairs though? Airstairs are specifically the foldable stairs built into the plane, which enforce a stricter limit on the height that the door can be from the ground. I'm sure Ryanair uses them to save on ground handling fees, but if you were designing a plane from scratch these days you wouldn't include them.

Not true, either physically or legally.

This is nonsense. Apple executives have repeatedly claimed that the 30% fee was a good deal compared to retail boxed software which they say was the norm in 2005 or so, but really there were large numbers of small independent software vendors making good money through specialised e-commerce vendors like DigitalRiver or the original Kagi with fees in the 8-15% range iirc, or just selling direct with payment processors like PayPal for ~5%. Bandwidth was not a big cost back then and still isn’t today unless you’re doing something like 4K video streaming.

C++ is still widely used for applications in some industries (games, finance), although this is less true than it was a decade ago

In Unity games on platforms like Windows, Linux, macOS sure - but one of the advantages of their toolkit is supporting porting to many platforms, like PlayStation, iOS, etc where the platform vendor store model’s DRM & code-signing gets in the way of end users swapping out dynamic link libraries.

My guess is that they want packages on the Unity store to be usable on all platforms they support.

For example, if you build an app for iOS or visionOS, you have to distribute it via Apple’s stores, and there are technical barriers (code signing, DRM) that get in the way of an end user being able to exercise their right to replace LGPL components with modified versions. I mention this example because there was a big tie up for Unity and visionOS announced with the Apple Vision Pro last summer, but presumably the same applies to Unity games on consoles etc as well.

I can see why from Unity’s perspective it is cleaner to just forbid LGPL entirely, that way it is harder for their customers to mistakenly violate licenses.

The UK has the most CCTV cameras per person outside of China, so better make sure your opsec counter-surveillance skills are up to scratch...

The license restricts you to only virtualize macOS on Mac hardware, and only 2 VMs per physical machine.

It's worse than did nothing, they actively suppressed climate research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil_climate_change_deni...

I'm sure Exxon's shareholders and leadership were also part of humanity in the 70s & 80s, and presumably by your logic this means they wouldn't have put their corporate profits ahead of suppressing climate research that perhaps indicated that their greed would contribute to an existential threat to civilisation and the quality of life of their children & grandchildren?
