I think at this point it's pretty safe to assume that all of the well-known network hardware is compromised.

Release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-note...

Xcode 15 comes with Swift 5.9, which includes many great new features. One of them is a macro system: https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-pr...

Title is misleading; not just deaths, but “thousands of sudden deaths in otherwise healthy people”.

That‘s not really surprising, I think. Neither the perpetrators nor the victims profit from making this information public and the authorities are bound by law to protect the privacy of the people involved.

I suspect few people will see this, compared to the alarming articles in 2021 about this incident that spread far and wide.

On the other hand, the fearmongering may have led to some (much needed) security improvements for control systems.

Discussion from 2021: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26070262

Exactly, but is it a good thing to separate people into groups? How does that help?

Humor is fine, but when several readers don't recognize it as such, the joke obviously isn't based on shared common knowledge. Some people walk away with wrong information, and that isn't helpful.

Please don't do this here. The topic deserves serious discussion.

Allegedly, some axles were already on fire 20 miles before the crash: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/transportation/2023/02/10/...

From the article: "The statues [...] bear both Etruscan and Latin inscriptions."

What makes you think that?

55 seconds on a M1 Pro MacBook with 16GB RAM to generate a picture (with default settings, so 512x512, 25 steps).

On a M1 Ultra, it takes 12 seconds with 64GB RAM (same settings). While computing, the Mac Studio is pulling 100 watts of power.

Every MacBook with metal enclosure from the last 15 years had the "buzzing". Quite a few people reported it to Apple, but nothing ever came of that, so Apple doesn't seem to think it's a problem.

It happens with both USB-C charging and MagSafe, but the intensity varies.

I would consider it slightly unpleasant, but have never heard about anyone getting an electric shock.

As mentioned, the Passkeys are synced in iCloud, so a lost device doesn't mean the credentials are lost.

If you still can log in to iCloud, you're fine.

If your Apple ID password has been changed, Apple provides a workflow to regain access to your Apple ID [1].

There's also a process for account recovery for situations where you can't access your Apple ID because of two-factor authentication [2].

Thanks for actually taking a look.

I can imagine that the developer would have been more willing to make changes if Google had sent him the list you have compiled here.

Interesting. I suppose the strategy is to get everyone to use Apple Business Essentials (https://www.apple.com/business/essentials/), which isn't yet available outside of the US.

I would hope that the only way such an app gets trough Apple's review process is by cheating (e.g. detecting that it is being reviewed and behaving differently).

I would also hope that once Apple realizes this, the developer is banned right away – which does not seem to be the case (yet). While the app in question is not available in the App Store anymore, the developer's other apps employing the same scheme still are.

Electrostatic discharges from chairs can interfere with USB and display signals:

"Surprisingly, we have also seen this issue connected to gas lift office chairs. When people stand or sit on gas lift chairs, they can generate an EMI spike which is picked up on the video cables, causing a loss of sync. If you have users complaining about displays randomly flickering it could actually be connected to people sitting on gas lift chairs. Again swapping video cables, especially for ones with magnetic ferrite ring on the cable, can eliminate this problem."

Actually:

  - Epic Launcher is using Rosetta
  - Unreal Editor is using Rosetta (first launch took an hour or two, maxing out one core only)
  - ShaderCompileWorker is using Rosetta
  - Packaged project for macOS is using Rosetta

So I'm not quite sure what they're talking about.

The release notes [1] state that "preliminary support for native Apple Silicon for macOS targets" has been added.

Also, there's now an "Import Xcode GPU Debugger Plugin for Mac".

No contradiction. It _does_ charge slowly, but charging for 2 minutes will still power it for a few hours. A full charge takes 2-3 hours, but lasts for a month or more (depending on usage).

When I experienced similar situations, it usually was because the big picture wasn't right. Specific small details could irritate me to no end, but they weren't really the source of my frustration.

For me, these situations were resolved by moving on and/or changing some aspects of my life.

Not saying this necessarily applies to you; just something to consider.

Describing the right to influence legislation as a burden seems exceptionally strange to me.

Maybe that's because I've always lived in a direct democracy where it's commonplace to propose or challenge new laws, and while engaging in that process does require a few hours every now and then, I've always felt that's more than worth it.

Let's hope this turns out better than with Omnisec.

Omnisec AG was a swiss company with (hidden) ties to US intelligence services [1] that produced manipulated encryption devices. Switzerland's military was also using Omnisec hardware and I doubt they received the "proper" ones.

Some interactive nostalgia is available here:

"This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app pretending to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra. Yes, it's the full thing."

Xcode 13.2 (and maybe earlier) contains a project template for a "Swift Playgrounds App" in the iOS category.

Browsers can't execute Swift code. The books are loaded directly into the Swift Playgrounds app.

As for links, there are very few subscriptions published – and probably none yet that work with Swift Playgrounds 4.0.

Everything on that page (except for the audio player) can be done with simple HTML and CSS.
