âoe Very recently: Install apps from App store and identified developers only. If you want to do anything else you need to manually add an exception. No longer can you set Macs to by default allow executing unsigned code.â

Not strictly true, right click on the newly installed app and you can still open it even when it isnâ(TM)t signed and it gets added as an exception.

It does, but in the context of this whole thread H2 is being seen as a way to deliver the energy for these powerful new motors but the fact is the power does not come from nowhere and an H2FC cannot deliver the current needed to generate the levels of power that are required and you needs batteries. Any vehicle where weight is a factor is going to have to choose, H2FC for quick refuelling or batteries for high power. In racing, I think we are seeing with Formula E that batteries are the best choice and they deal with refuelling by switching out the car for an identical model that is fully charged. Racing will cope with a switch to electric motors and batteries just fine, it is unlikely to be hydrogen because the weight of the combined H2FC and batteries really make it uncompetitive if the motor power has to be restricted, and the idea of handling hydrogen in a pit stop just gives me the willies. Formula E is great fun to watch to be honest and the challenges of handling energy make for a fantastic competitive field.

Hydrogen is a bad bet because fuel cells struggle to deliver sufficient current so you will need a battery or super capacitor to provide short bursts of power. As for the power of these motors, theyâ(TM)re OK but the combined output of the two motors in the Tesla Model 3 performance is 500bhp compared with the similar weight Toyota Mirai HFCEV which sports 182bhp and does indeed include a lithium ion battery to allow this. The next generation batteries are getting lighter and denser so fuel cells really have nowhere to go.

I am yet own an M1 Pro/Max machine but I do already have an M1 Mac mini I bought for desktop use and to see how well the transition was handled. Things that have stunned me are that it runs Intel native code faster than a real Intel i7 and it does so without the fan running like a leaf blower and the CPU temps sitting comfortably around 40C. Intel chips typically run in the high 60-90C range - my i7 runs around 80C when under heavy load even after I did the thermals again because the fans were running so loud I could barely hear people on conference calls. The M1 series chips run so cool and quiet and they donâ(TM)t thermal throttle, plus you get all the performance even on battery. That is what Intel needs to worry about and I cannot wait to see what Apple does with the Mac Pro.

Apple adopted USB-C on their laptops very early. My MacBook 12â has one from 2015. I can remember everyone lambasting Apple for going with an unproven standard and people even claiming it was proprietary and shouldnâ(TM)t be supported. Today, Iâ(TM)m using an 11â iPad Pro and guess what? It has a USB-C port, not lightning. Theyâ(TM)ll add the port to other parts of their lineup as they refresh them although Iâ(TM)m somewhat surprised that the new iPhone 13 doesnâ(TM)t have it but thatâ(TM)s likely due to the dock ecosystem based on lightning so it was probably a decision they made to limit early obsolescence as you said.

I think COVID deaths in the US are probably under-counted. There are a lot of people desperate to have anything other than COVID listed on their death certificate. There are people who die of "heart attacks" or "kidney failure" which are actually affects of COVID. And that's not even counting people who are currently dying of otherwise survivable factors but can't get a hospital bed, or people who will die of preventable diseases in the coming years except they couldn't get screening now due to capacity. The "excess deaths" for 2020 were higher than the cited COVID deaths, and the age expectancy dropped by the most since World War 2.

And that also doesn't even address the people who will have permanent or long-term disabilities with smell, taste, endurance, lung capacity, heart and kidney function, and so on.

  All the data shows the official counts to be conservative. But they seem to be at least in the right ballpark, despite the right-wing trying to make it political.

The R value on any given day isnâ(TM)t indicative of what it will be tomorrow. A superspreader event among a less-vaccinated cohort could still easily happen and send the R value back up above 1. That R value is the sum of all the effects including people still observing mask wearing rules and distancing. Thereâ(TM)s no reason to believe that will stay at the same level. There is indeed good reason for hope, but âoeif we do nothing it will disappearâ is not a good analysis when the R value is still so close to 1.

If you want to browse web pages, use a web browser. If you want to build an app, build an App. All those browser limitations are a feature, not a bug, to most iOS users.

"I am not an entertainer."

LOL.

If Richard Stallman wants to do the academic work to receive that honor, he should do so. Otherwise, yeah, he's basically just bought a title. Why not just buy one of those 1m^2 plots of a castle and call himself Lord Doctor Stallman, too? Or one of those certificates where you get a Star named after you and call himself Star Lord Doctor Stallman? It's about as meaningful.

No, he hasn't earned a title of Doctor in an accredited program from a University, but whatever. It's entertainment, and he's an entertainer.

Part of the problem with digital vs human facial recognition is the set of faces being compared against. In this case, he was matched to his drivers license photo. Will a human really go through the database of all drivers license photos in the entire state and claim to pick a match? Of course not. There are aspects of this that are unique to the scale, methodologies, and obtuse nature of technological systems.

Really try it there. You try Antarctica but solar would not work well at the poles. It would be cheaper to build in the Andean Plateau If things went wrong you can open it up to normal air and not kill a bunch of people and work out the bugs. Think if it as BioSphere 3. Biosphere 2 taught us that we did not know how to make a biosphere so time to try again.

It is the other way around. A version release is tied to the disclosure. As of this past December, you cannot release a new version of your app unless you have done the disclosure, so Googles apps are stuck at their previous update until they do so.

I think for Apple it is not just about money but also about control. They really hated that Qualcomm had them over a barrel, and no matter what they did, they had to pay the same percentage to Qualcomm. (Add better screens and processors and memory and charge more? Qualcomm gets more money for the modem chip.) And the courts bizarrely said that it was all FRAND.

So Apple basically wants to create their own integrated CPU and modem, and not have Qualcomm be able to dictate any terms, financial or technological.

Thus, they need patents. Enough patents embedded into 6G that the mutual patent licensing deal will be on even terms and Qualcomm cannot implement it without them, either.

Google is still trying to figure out how much they can get away with without seeming as evil as Facebook. They haven't even updated their apps on iOS since Apple required them to disclose what information they're collecting on their users, so obviously they have a lot to hide.

It's basically about informed consent. If you believe Facebook and Google should be allowed to track you and take all your data to sell to the highest bidder without telling you, you're on Facebook/Google's side. If you think users should be informed and have the choice to disable it, you're on Apple's side. If you don't care about privacy either way, you're eating popcorn on the sidelines like the parent poster.

Simple solution: Apple should stop selling iPhones to anyone in North Dakota, instead of inflicting the shovelware and malware on the rest of the world.
