But the "walled garden" on mobile (iOS mostly, but now also Android) isn't really about trusted computing at all. Trusted computing (locked bootloaders) is but a small part of it.

Trusted computing and even remote attestation have legitimate use cases. It's good, great even, that they exist. But just like everything, they can be used against you.

The second is a real problem even with completely unique applications. If they have UI portions that have lookalikes, you will get flagged. At work, I created an application with a sign-in popup. Because it's for internal use only, the form in the popup is very basic, just username and password and a button. Safe Browsing continues to block this application to this day, despite multiple appeals.

Earlier this year, we were treated to an exceptional photo of one: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mysterious-red-spr...

What’s wrong with the iPad being a pure consumption device? It’s really great at this. Granted, you don’t need an iPad Pro for consumption, but you could always go for an iPad or iPad Air, no?

I have a 2017 iPad Pro and once the battery finally dies will replace it with a non-Pro iPad.

Eh. I feel TFA is a little overblown. It is not the devices (a physical thing with software) that are upgraded, it is the Apple Home instance (a purely virtual/software thing) that changes.

Personally, I use HomeKit with Home Assistant as the "backend" and it's working fine. HomeKit can see and act on exactly what I need it to.

Is it winning? Of course, everyone has a different perspective on the software industry. From my (super limited!) view, Angular is winning. And for the first time in almost 10 years, I can now confidently say: Rightly so. “Components become targeted DOM operations”? Yes. “Updates flow through signals”? Yes. (Dunno about Qwik, never heard of it.) It was a long and arduous journey, but they pulled through. Also, it is rather batteries-included.

I encourage everyone to give it a whirl. Zone.js is no longer needed and with Signals and Standalone Components it is now proper good. Developer experience, too, with Vite and esbuild.

If AI server farm operators conclude that nuclear is the way to go, they should be free to do so, yes. If they manage to fulfill all regulatory requirements. (Which means it'll be at least $2 per kWh, yay.)

Is there? And which Copilot is that? Github? Office 365? Windows? Yet another?

I think you underestimate the amount of mismanagement and human error that happens every day. May I remind you of the Goiânia accident? Additionally, Wikipedia has a seriously long list of “orphan source incidents”.

The backdrop-filter thingy most definitely does not work in Firefox. Everything above does.

It works on Chromium-based browsers but it does not look great, probably needs some filtering.

From somewhere around the net, I found this quote:

> It's not enough for a program to work – it has to work for the right reasons

I guess that’s basically the same statement, from a different angle.

I agree. I think the article isn't really about the what but about the how. Which does appear to be rather questionable.

I think there’s still quite a bit: font size, regional settings (language etc), software versions, browser extensions, adblockers…

Reliable (consistent) quality, yes. Quality? Debatable. But it definitely keeps driving, no dangerous situations so far.

Or no number even. Sucks to be missing out, but I won’t budge on this.

Doesn't Vagrant spin up full VMs? Incus/LXD/LXC is about system containers. So like Docker, but with a full distro including init system running inside the container. They are much faster to spin up and have the best resource sharing possible.

Actual computers? People don't have those any more. Not even laptops. They have smartphones and they may have tablets.

I'm over-generalizing of course, but that's the vibe I get. It's because many, both older and younger, entirely skipped the whole personal computing thing.

No, that's kind of the point. It's not something Windows XP/Vista/whatever made worse by hiding it or even taking it away. It simply is not available.

macOS works like this though, IIRC, and no other way.

And when was that ever a thing on Windows?

> now that they have multiplied many times in resolution

Did they though? Quite a few laptops barely have 720 pixels in (scaled) height. That's less than your CRT with 1024x768, back in the days.

The so-called "lower levels" inherit role permissions (or role assignments, if you will), which is something else entirely. Furthermore I'd say this is both expected and necessary to effectively administer permissions in organizations. Assigning permissions (via roles or otherwise) on every single object is not feasible. Inheritance is required. It works similarly to NTFS ACLs.

What I wrote is, in fact, accurate. An identity cannot inherit a role. It is simply impossible. What would it inherit from? The identity does not actually exist where it appears in the control plane (ie. in a resource group). It exists in Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).

There is but one possibility for a newly created identity to actually have roles assignments: Automation via policy. Now that I think about it, there might be another: assigning roles to special groups like "Authenticated users".

Okay. Then I'll lay it out: there is no inheritance at all. An identity does not inherit roles and it certainly does not inherit other identities. You are misinterpreting something you saw. However, without further details, a more targeted answer is not possible. I did not want to write a blanket statement like that because it is very condescending and hostile. Sorry about that.

You may have seen the identity's IAM page. It does not show roles assigned to the identity.

These don't clarify your situation, sorry. They're also referring to two distinct scenarios.

Especially regarding the SO question, I get the feeling that author is misunderstanding something.

Where exactly are you seeing what exactly that might imply some kind of inheritance chain?

What inheritance chain? I'd say I'm quite proficient with Azure RBAC and I cannot understand what you're describing.

Do we know by now whether this was an Office 365 enterprise account or a regular "Hotmail" (Outlook.com) account?

Everything OTel I ever did was fully active. So I wouldn't say this is very noteworthy. Instead it is wrong/incomplete information.

This is entirely possible in many ways. You could keep the NTFS partition, shrink it, eventually copy data off of it, …

So long as enough contiguous space is available to install the desired Linux distro.

You do realize that indoor air quality is also a thing, right?

This may be due to my limited perspective, but I just don’t see that big of a market for a product like this. (Not that I’m all that clear on what it really does either.)
