Craig says in John Gruber’s “The Talk Show” chat that the developer beta for this is early and they have a much better touchpad experience in the works already but wasn’t ready yet and hopefully the rest will get improved also

FEX is the open source equivalent: https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX

Your options are here btw. Another apple device, text to phone number or account recovery which is automated but takes a few days: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915

You are right but this is about the Apple GPU (Graphics) embedded in the M1 rather than the CPU. There is no existing driver for this Apple GPU (for doing "accelerated" 2D/3D graphics)

Yep, we've firewalled off the gmail IPv6 mail servers for quite a long time at a small but very long running Web/Mail host (since 2007).

I always used to use both.

Just looked and for some reason Amazon do not sell the entire Fire tablet range in Australia. Weird.

Far from perfect but apparently yes: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-06/plastic-recycling-ind...

At least in Australia the lids are considered too small to recycle as they are too light and blow around so you’re supposed to put them in the rubbish. They had also traditionally been a different plastic which sometimes was an issue.

So it does truly potentially help in the recycling regard. Note however the professing facilities and requirements for this vary wildly from state to state and country to country and also they often ask for a lowest common denominator of all the recycling plants. So it’s not that some places potentially can’t but not all.

Leaving them on also causes issues because if the bottles are air right they don’t compress as well.

The flip-switch version of motorised volume faders

Looks crazy when you have a big audio mixer full of these things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPXeULcDa5w

On Mac/Linux the windows/Mac key + tab switches applications. Windows/Max key plus the ~/` key switches windows in the same application.

I personally cannot deal with the alt tab style switching between all windows this app to app switch works much better for me and I use it constantly.

You will lose access to any software installed via a snap package. Snap software is "containerized" (to varying extents depending on the install mode and permissions) so you would lose access to "snap" containerized software speifically. There are other ways to run containerized software you wouldn't necessarily lose access to though are not installed or used by default and that can also be used at the same time as snap packages (e.g. flatpak, docker, etc).

There is some software installed by default on 22.04 by snap that has no Ubuntu-provided alternative "deb" package. This includes firefox and the "Ubuntu Software" store app (installed by default) and LXD (not installed by default, but if you want to use it, there is no deb package). If you're not using any such snap software, it may not matter. In some cases you may be able to install software through some other non-snap method from a non-Ubuntu source (e.g. you may be able to install firefox using the standard linux installer, though I have not tried that).

With regards to the Ubuntu live kernel update feature, this is powered by the 'canonical-livepatch' snap. When you run "ua enable livepatch" it installs the snap. Without snap, it won't work, hence you won't get live patches. Livepatches are not automatically enabled by default for a standard install on your own hardware, you need to attach it to your ubuntu account with "ua attach" and then "ua enable livepatch" (it's free for 3 personal machines and requires a paid subscription otherwise). You can read more about that at https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch. The snap package is the only canonical-livepatch client package hence if you removed snapd you would lose access to use livepatches.

Disclaimer: I work for Canonical (Ubuntu).

While I don't disagree this tool would be better, if you don't have that tool, I frequently used something like: ls -lart /vol/.zfs/snapshots/snap-*/file/path

Would list the files sorted by change date so then I could just easily scan through the list for the changed versions.

Have you looked at fastmail? Custom domain is supported on a $5/user/month plan and they seem well known and well regarded.

Right. I should have clarified it’s unlikely to happen if you want to be hands off for years at a time. If that’s the goal the ideal state is to convert it to static.

You’ll never maintain a Wordpress site long term securely. Need to convert it to static html one way or another.

There is a well known issue related to this that gets replaced under warranty. Take to the Apple store they have a way to test it.

I have a big directory here too (100s of thousands of files) however I am enrolled in the beta program. Perhaps the super large versions of the directory is only for the beta program but the non beta participates have the small version.

About 6 months ago here in Australia I had a run of getting spam called by a number which was the same as my number but off by 1 digit. Seemed like a clever method to peak peoples interest but made it pretty obvious to me it was spam.

Informative but entertaining video on high power DC transmission from Electroboom. To my recollection it’s generally always better transmission wise except the DC-AC and AC-DC converters are both expensive and physically large.

There is a cross sectional problem between what codecs that specific hardware supports (and generally is supported by all the popular devices), how much bandwidth you have on your connection and how many different codecs the various streaming services can support and cache locally.

There are trade offs to be made.

Yes this is my problem too. It breaks my add to watch later workflow.

Deep Space Nine did this well too. New Star Trek not so much and I miss each Episode being individually enjoyable.

This existed pre-COVID but is more of a thing now. See Half as Interesting - Why Heathrow Airport Had Empty Flights to Nowhere (3 years ago, pre-covid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8XZriAdB1g

RealLifeLore2 also covered the same topic as the original submission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1a_LO4hSk

I believe it also takes non-https traffic from apps but since they made https mandatory quite some time ago now I suspect that is not much. Also content loaded inside email in Mail.

You can definitely still do it but like windows now the button is like off to the bottom left somewhere and hard to find.

Apple is doing the same now :/ the wizard tries hard for you not to

There is a tool that implements this: https://github.com/StanfordSNR/guardian-agent

The problem basically is the current agent forwarding protocol doesn't have a way to reliably identify the source and remote host that can't be spoofed. guardian-agent tries to do that using some extra software, this linked SSH proposal is to add that to SSH but it will require software upgrades even to the sshd of the intermediate and remote hosts - it's not ideal that it can't just work out of the box - but I welcome this we just need to get it done now for later.

I frequently finding myself thinking about adding useful things to software I want to use now and go well it will be years before its on every host I use and can be used reliably. I have had this thought on and off for more than a decade. Ship some new stuff, it'l be great later :D

Was pretty good when Mark Rober tested his new “Fart Spray” on Macaulay Caulkin (the kid from Home Alone). Video here at 1m50s in https://youtu.be/a_TSR_v07m0#t=110
