Uhh, if you need a currently logged in device to bypass the phone number login, then I wouldn’t say it’s a “possible backup”. Phone number is the primary authentication mechanism for Authy.

Don’t you need your phone number to authenticate with Authy to get into the backups?

Complain to the FCC for one. This process is highly regulated.

I have been puzzled by this too, especially given my general perception of Chinese leadership as highly competent. My best theory is that Chinese people are very paranoid about infectious disease, and that the leadership believes that their political legitimacy would be threatened by mass infection numbers.

And yet, somehow, OpenBSD works just fine already. Perhaps relatedly, this device is UEFI based, so unlike most ARM devices, it has a standard boot process and hardware enumeration mechanism.

Okay. Anyway, OpenBSD works, proving that there’s nothing stopping Linux from working except the time and interest of Linux developers. I’m sure they are interested and the necessary modifications will be made soon enough.

I think it was a good gamble. If old management had budged by even 1% or 2% of the original deal, the savings would have easily paid for all the lawyers Musk and Twitter had to hire. Just a calculated risk that didn’t pay off. That’s how calculated risks go sometimes.

>Whilst I enjoy this kind of tinkering, it was disappointing that a "Dev Kit", built for developers can neither boot Linux, nor enable a custom Linux Kernel for WSL2.

What's that I hear Hacker News and Reddit cry? "It's a Dev Kit for Windows, you moron!" That may be the case, but Microsoft "Loves Linux", and clearly has worked hard to make WSL2 available out of the box on these devices.

It’s not a scathing attack or anything, but it is in fact critical of Microsoft.

Unrealistic and unfair expectations here. Microsoft isn’t doing anything to stop you from booting other OSes on this device. OpenBSD devs did the work, so OpenBSD boots on it. Linux devs now need to do the same if they want to support this dev kit. Not Microsoft’s problem.

Huh. TIL

How can you see subpixel rendering in a screenshot? I don’t think that’s possible.

WARN Act just means you have to give people notice. You can revoke their credentials and tell them to stay home while the 60-day clock runs. You just have to keep paying them for that time.

Don’t you have something better to do than attacking color palettes? Like suing people for having the power outlets an inch too high or something?

Even California still has at-will employment. He doesn’t need cause, or anyone else to agree on what that cause is.

Ah, if only they’d thought of that. The longtime successful and solidly profitable (~$500 million a year) Red Hat corporation should copy the business model of Canonical, which makes 1% as much profit. Do you charge by the hour for this kind of advice?
