Very often actually, you’ll notice AI frequently prefers to reinvent the wheel rather than use external libraries.

and in this case that's even before you get to the software opinions

That is how window resizing on iOS 27 apps streamed to macOS 27 works right now in the first beta, I reckon it won't change.

Until recently TDC had a very slow FCDO satellite link that required their website to be quite basic in order to actually be viewable on computers on the island.

They now have a fast Starlink connection, but I’m glad they’ve kept the website as it is.

Probably not that many. You underestimate how expensive either of those things are.

We have obligations to provide services like this to the people living in our overseas territories, and you won’t find many people who’ll oppose that.

The ferries would be brief enough though. Probably less than 100 out of the total 10,000 miles.

It’s a company containing such remarkable talent that I’m sure they would not have run into significant issues raising capital on international markets.

It’s not like VCs are only allowed to invest in companies in their own country.

Parallels and VMware still do implement their own graphics virtualisation (among other things) for Windows and Linux guests on Apple silicon, and in my experience Parallels still works better than the alternatives for Windows.

DeepMind, which is headquartered in London, probably had a significant role in the development of the Gemini and Gemma models.

Yes, it might be a problem that the UK allows companies like this to be bought up by foreign countries.

I can’t imagine a standalone heart rate monitor would be very useful without logging to a smartphone

$50bn for a harness makes no sense, what am I missing?

Most would continue to buy cases which would only make these phones even thicker

Is it an Intel MacBook? I think those sucked for obvious reasons outside Apple’s control (Intel getting stuck at 14nm for ages) which they’ve already fixed (by abandoning Intel).

The M1 MacBook Air was more powerful than the top Intel i9 MBP config if I recall correctly.

If you filled the negative space on an iPhone 17 Pro/Max it would be a horrendously unwieldy phone. People who say this stuff seriously underestimate the disastrous effect on ergonomics increasing the whole phone from 8.75mm to 13.2mm would have.

Your M2 MacBook Pro really struggles? That is genuinely crazy, given that I use one as a daily driver and it feels just as fast as the day I bought it.

I think the Apple Silicon transition has increased Mac longevity far beyond the Intel or PowerPC eras, and I am quite baffled you think otherwise.

I’m sorry but that README.md is full of extremely obnoxious AI prose for what is essentially saying “buy an old Pixel and install Claude Code on it”

Safari’s reader mode is good for this. All you have to do is long press the icon on the left edge of the address bar.

Many planes have AC power outlets, the Wii uses <20W.

Supposing it is Adam Back, and supposing he lost his keys, he's still worth at least nine figures and is one of the most influential figures in the field he’s devoted his life to. Why would he wish he was dead?

Useful background on Mr. Stevenson

The technologies listed aside from the Enigma were largely actually British (I say largely because Canadians were deeply involved in some cases)

Whatever humans are descended from existed during the time of the dinosaurs

LTT are fine. I would strongly consider their products if they had any warehousing in Europe to make shipping here cheaper.

Europe simply does not have enough known oil reserves to put a dent in current prices even if it exploited them all.

There may still be good arguments to do so anyway, such as it being less carbon intensive than importing oil, but there is absolutely no magic lever we can pull that would fix this problem that we're just not pulling due to renewables legislation.

That’s actually pretty cool, I’m surprised there’s skateboarders that still use VX1000s or whatever instead of moving on to GoPros etc

It looks like that project is dead, some googling turned up this one which seems active and popular

Separate from this policy debate I think you’ll find Australia is a country where the right frequently wins actual majorities of the vote.

Run ARM64 Linux and install Rosetta inside it. Even on the MacBook Neo it'll be faster than your 2020 Intel Mac.

The US simply has more numerous and more important companies that rely on being able to freely export their services globally. The leverage here is with Europeans not only because of this asymmetry but because there is also more political appetite there to punish America than there is in America to punish Europe.

Apple has a motion sickness mitigation feature that displays dots on your screen that move based on physical motion, so it’s fairly well known that the accelerometer exists.
