If nearly 100% of their code is written by AI that means it's not under copyright then. Interesting future when this becomes the common case across all companies.

Prison for a civil suit? I don't think so. Leaving him financially destroyed, on the other hand, is definitely what Apple is aiming for.

Apple has launched a civil lawsuit. If it was criminal, federal prosecutors would be the ones executing the case, which they would do if there really was a case for it. So no, not criminal.

Flamebait? Hardly. Interesting the swings in moderation.

What outrageous claims?

Download link has the x86_64 dmg for this LTS release. Obviously in the future they will be dropping support for x86_64 as Apple themselves drop support. Compiling new software for old, non-supported versions of macOS is a burden.

So Oracle is demanding payment when you use third-party software that embeds Oracle Java in it, rather than talking to the third-party that's doing the distributing?

Not sure what your point is. No one said anything about not honoring the licenses. He was talking about a random person wanting to come into a secure government department to do an audit. A government department very much might have to demand background checks and security clearances for the auditors to even enter the premises. If the company demanding the audit believes that the department is pirating software, and if they cannot physically be on the premises, they can go to court to compel discovery (and pay the costs).

Is it though? My experience with battery life under Linux is mixed, shall we say. It may well be better than windows; I haven't used windows in many years now. I suspect we're a long ways off of the 12 hour battery life of an M series MacBook.

I'm sure it's been well trained to ensure you get the correct party-approved information.

Bu seriously I am curious as to how these chinese models react to questions about things the CCP does not want people to talk about. The CCP has a long history of attempting to apply censorship all across the world.

Yeah it's so annoying to be able to search my history on Firefox for Android but not be able to remove items. But I can remove them from the history list if I don't search and just swipe until I find them. Very annoying. It is possible on a rooted phone to use sqlite directly to remove things from history, but not terribly convenient.

Add to that he's still talking about how the 2020 election was stolen. I see no evidence he will walk away peacefully at the end of this term. He's looking more and more like Putin all the time, as he has started to use the DOJ to prosecute his political opponents, often for simply doing their jobs. He hasn't resorted to pushing people off of balconies yet. He pardoned all the Jan 6 insurrectionists, and they are now waiting for his command. But most troubling, he has a complete disregard for the constitution, and his GOP enablers are right there with him. I don't see how any lover of the constitution could rationalize this so-called unitary executive theory. Combine that with the GOP's long-standing efforts to manipulate the vote through gerrymandering and voter suppression laws, things don't look so good for democracy. I'm really not at all sure what's going to happen at the mid terms, as far as trump is concerned. The fact that it's so uncertain, or that there's even a question of uncertainty is alarming.

Trump advisors have already stated point blank they are actively working on ways to end run the constitution and have him run for a third term. Besides that, he hasn't paid any attention to the constitution up until now, and his base is totally fine with it. We're in a very interesting era now where the constitution, and the rule of law, no longer applies to the most powerful (unless of course they fall out with trump). If Trump runs for a third term, I can pretty much guarantee he'll run for a forth, fifth, etc, until he dies. And I fully expect he will announce his successor at some point.

Meanwhile a combination of Democrat incompetence and the culmination of GOP efforts to subvert voting through gerrymandering and other underhanded tactics (see North Carolina for a recipe) means we are unlikely to see any Democratic president for the foreseeable future.

If Trump bows out as he should, the next guy is definitely going to use all the power that Trump amassed, along with presidential immunity from law, to its full extent. That is very scary.

I didn't know Mazda didn't yet have any touch screens before. Had I known I probably would have looked at some of their vehicles.

Yeah it's much more efficient to just start the whole forest on fire which is basically what they want to be allowed to do. Nothing should stand in the way of tech companies being able to make money. Nothing.
