I would argue that iPadOS (built on iPhone's coat tails) moved the field forward significantly in terms of isolation and user security.

While this has left a long tail of inconveniences, many resolved and some not, I am very confident that using 1 app on my iPhone/iPad will not leak data to another in any case that I am likely to care about as a non-significantly interesting person (political figure, etc).

... and for those people Apple even makes lockdown mode to move the bar, while acknowledging it adds extra inconvenience: https://support.apple.com/en-au/105120

I have no such confidence about macOS, Linux or Windows, in fact the reverse. macOS has done the best at trying to bolt on some sandboxing (and linux has it too) but that's still very holey and not all-in like iOS/iPadOS has ended up.

Yes, I know there have been many bugs and leaks in iOS but the security level is far and above the desktops currently, and designed that way from the ground up. So when they finally make something work like copy and paste or sharing between apps, etc... it's by and large done very well.

It's been very difficult to add that kind of thing to Linux because you're trying to do the reverse and lock things down and it breaks everything... making it very challenging.. as opposed to Apple where basically nothing useful worked at the start (no copy/paste, one app at a time, no meaningful filesystem, etc).. but managed to get the product successful in the limited state and has slowly unlocked that stuff over time. Admittedly very slowly.

I cannot speak for Android as I just have never used it or surrounded myself in info about it's design, security, etc.. it may well be very similar although they from my casual observation seemed to do a much worse job at granular privacy permissions (e.g. for the longest time permissions were all granted at install time, and so many apps want so many most people are blind to it.. as opposed to Apple's model where even if notarised for something on the app store in most cases you have to agree to it when the app first uses it.. I know they fixed that a while back but I have no idea how well things have transitioned to that now). As a very techy person deeply knowledge in many things, and using desktop Linux since 2002, it's kindof a hilarious personal failing that I have never used Android.. I really should try and resolve that at some point.

It wouldn't surprise if Apple had fixed this, it's the sortof thing they would fix, but it may be worth trying with 2 devices not from the same iCloud account. Wouldn't surprise me if the code paths were subtly different in that case.

Captain Disillusion did a great breakdown (diss :) of that: https://youtu.be/1qSTcxt2t74?t=1273 (21m10s on for ~5 mins)

Right. Everyone seemed to be struggling with problems in python now that we’re already solved in Ruby 2007-2010.

Not everything uses qemu. Some do. More use KVM. Not everything does.

Example: https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/

That's a fairly impressively sized list.

The fun part is that for a bunch of SSD drives (especially older ones), sending discard/trim may also tank the performance. Due to firmware bugs.

If I had to guess it is possibly something to do with fighting crawlers/bots/etc triggering the detection? And running some kind of more advanced logic to try ensure it's really being used. Light captcha style.

But just a guess.

I'd say this project is the closest: https://github.com/superg/redumper

But is not a true raw dump like we see in a bunch of other media preservation projects.

There’s a slight improvement in that the passkey will only transmit to the correct website. Cannot select and fill it to the wrong domain.

But other than that I agree. Especially now that these synchronise with iCloud, BitWarden, etc seems a no brainer you can just steal these and access everyone’s accounts in many cases with no extra 2nd factor.

This confuses me too.

Came to share this too. I used Joost at this time. Got me into watching the world poker tour on the platform and into playing poker and watching other live poker.

That’s only true with sentry mode on. Without sentry mode it uses very little.

Just reading this title and with only microsoft.com as the URL, I knew with 99% certainty this was going to be oldnewthing (Raymond Chen)

Hand sanitiser is great for this. A dab of whisky on a paper towel also works well.

MattKC recently did an amazing documentary on the development of Lego Island for PC. Quite a bit of the story was about the company behind it convincing LEGO to let them use their IP etc. Was a great watch: https://youtu.be/bG55COe_f8I

Often 55-60% in Australia also.

In the Tesla Semi announcement, they showed pretty impressive data on exactly that. Here's a shot of the graph and some data: https://kilowatt.page/tesla-semi-regen-roundtrip-efficiency-...

Of course, this is from Tesla, and they famously puff up everything.. but I would expect even if not as good as claimed here, for the downhill part to certainly help a lot still.

What may not help is if they fully charge at work and have no battery capacity to soak up the regen on the way home. Regen ability gets limited the closer you get to 100%.

Except for that time it did: https://youtu.be/gonVHW_X79U

What it does is uses a PCIe pass-through GPU to render the output, but instead of sending the actual video result to the actual GPU output (and thus, needing to switch input on your monitor), it renders from the GPU into a shared memory buffer which the host can display (in a window, or full screen). So it sortof works like remote desktop, but lower latency and full resolution due to using a shared memory buffer instead of TCP.

It was great. Glad to see the public domain change. Surprisingly sensible outcome.

Just wanted to back up this comment with a tiny bit of possible evidence: https://lwn.net/Articles/950567/

If you want to learn more about how this all works in video form, there was a talk at 38c3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWQcgZfxkOM&pp=ygUMMzhjMyBma...

Ha ha thanks :) yeah the guest book was an external service. Along with the image based hit counter :)

Somehow, the (much less impressive) Star Trek fan site I created in 2000 when I was 13 is still online.

I’ve long since lost access to it but the freeservers mob I hosted it with have somehow kept the sites from way back then all around and online still to this day. It’s a little painful and factually incorrect (I called the movie Generations a series!) but gives me a good laugh: http://stvoyager.iwarp.com/

Medicate and try not to stop. Don’t avoid it, it’s life changing and the most effective intervention by far. None of the other stuff is nearly as effective. It is very likely turn their life around. As someone who was not medicated in his teenage years (Briefly in childhood and now all through adult hood. But was nissing all through school and it sucked). It’s a real life changer.

Look up Russ Barkley on YouTube. He’s a very well known and respected ADHD researcher and clinician that has some very engaging and informative videos. Here’s a taster: https://youtu.be/_tpB-B8BXk0

Maybe better to use something like magic wormhole? https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

It's getting hard to even take printing stuff for granted. It's getting harder and harder on iOS just to arbitrarily copy and paste text from many apps - can't even copy the title of a YouTube video last time I tried. This mostly just worked on PC.

It hurts me. Everything going so far backwards.

At least once a week I have to screenshot something on iOS and use the new Photo OCR feature to copy and paste it out of the image. I wish I was joking.

We have many more photos from RFLAN in Western Australia which ran 3-4x a year from 2002-2020. They are all on Facebook currently: https://facebook.com/redflaglan

This looks awesome. As someone working in support for a wide array of Linux Apps, and data dumps from customers where I have no access to the system, plus I also write or backport bug fixes to all sorts of random software, I often want to do this kind of crazy stuff. With exactly these kinds of artefacts.

This is super interesting: > sq aims to be safe by default. One way it achieves this is not by having good defaults, but by avoiding defaults when it is not absolutely clear that one option is and will remain much better than the alternatives. sq also avoids do-what-I-mean (DWIM) interfaces. At the beginning we feared that these design decisions would decrease usability. In practice, tab completion hides most of the additional typing, and being explicit appears to reduce confusion.
