it's called WHITE PAINT

it's an incredible new innovation, you should try it!

If you're too stupid to "select all" and drag-and-drop to a new folder on your desktop, then you deserve to "lose" all your photos and videos.

As for the apps, there's one license of the app on the account, that's no longer wanting to be shared, so it's a "Marital Asset" that a judge can oversee the division of, along with the rest of the martial assets. It gets a little more complicated if one side wants some apps and the other side wants other apps, but they're rarely very expensive, on the order of $3 to $9, making them easily compensated for in the monetary settlement of the divorce. (app installations are just as fungible as cash)

That really only leaves "who gets the email address", and that's not a new problem created by Apple, that's been around for decades. Work it out, with the judge's assistance if necessary.

I think this whole thing is just coming down to bitter Ex'es in a messy divorce, looking for another public place to drag each other through the mud. Go handle your drama somewhere private, the world is not interested in being your stage.

You know, China is WAY ahead of the US in some things. THIS IS ONE OF THEM. Gets rid of the phony influencer lies.

Step two is a GM app store
Step three is subscriptions for all the apps in your car. Cruise control? There's an app for that. Aircon? App for that too.

Buy a second hand car? You'll need to pay for all the options the original buyer already paid for.

The REAL headline and buried lede for the original post should be:

Trump guts nuclear safety regulations

“The president signed a pair of orders on Friday aimed at streamlining the licensing and construction of nuclear power plants — while panning the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its ‘myopic’ radiation safety standards.”

We now have industry capture of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Who here knows about Admiral Hyman RIckover? All of this is worth reading:

Are You Scared Yet?

I would be.

The Department of Energy is selling off more than 40,000 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium from the Cold War arsenal to nuclear reactor startups. All of which I’m sure will be thoroughly vetted and monitored, because this is done under the direction of a former board member. Yikes!

Who IS Oklo, Inc. the "private nuclear reactor builder/operator"? Oklo is Sam Altman:

Trump Administration Providing Weapons Grade Plutonium to Sam Altman

We're in territory where weapons-grade plutonium is being given at fire-sale prices to billionaires who's ethical boundaries include creating their own demand for otherwise unnecessary, high-risk energy projects. Guys like Altman, who get their ideas from Wikipedia articles about Ayn Rand — because they are one rung lower than people who actually READ that garbage.

But I'm sure no inventory of hot nuke metal will ever go missing.

Apple had a culture of authenticity. Culture dies pretty hard in most cases. I think we will see the last of that culture dissipate, as it eroded so greatly under Cook and Ive. Then the extractive, enshittifying corruption will spread from Apple, too.

There really was something, that began with Jobs and Woz. It wasn't perfect, and Jobs had a way of twisting ethical stances in ends-justifying-means sophistry. But Steve Jobs would never have prostrated before Trump, proffering a solid gold token.

The heat pump's working fluid doesn't have to be water, it'd be whatever fluid can phase change at a "convenient pressure". The released heat on the high pressure side would be used to boil water into steam, which could then be moved to a turbine to generate power.

That "working fluid" woud be what is circulating on the low pressure side, through the cooling blocks.

Oh, you want profit? This is a surveillance spyware wrapper around the entire MacOS user experience - so if you thought Microsoft's Copilot Recall was invasive monitoring, you haven't seen anything yet.

If Apple won't monetize a user panopticon and partner with governments to do it, OpenAI will be right there, to take the cash.

I will argue against strict adherence to this statement. Gnome applications written to the project guidelines have become very fine, since the introduction of GTK-4 and libadwaita. I prefer many of these to their equivalents on MacOS.

It's true that most of these fall into a general category of "utilities", and that Windows enjoys a broader ecosystem driven by commercial incentive. But Windows programs are hardly "better' for this, and the widely varied usability is generally sub-par compared to level that's become norm for Gnome/Adwaita software.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone trying to use the waste heat that all this computer power is generating? I realize that would impact cooling a little, but surely SOME of this can be recovered efficiently? Steam turbines are the usual way to turn heat into electrical power. Is there no way to do it for data centers?

For example, use a heat pump to concentrate the heat to above boiling temperature then use that to boil water to run a steam turbine. The heat pump would require some power to run, but I think you could run that at a net-positive for power?

that pardon cost? Trump doesn't strike me as the type to do anything like that for free.

Sirius paid good money to have their software preinstalled. How are customers have the ability to remove it
