Is simply a very niche device looking for a killer app.
Since there isn't one, it will fail just like every 3D goggle system has before it.
The only project I've seen that even has a chance is Tilt5's AR Goggles. The system creates a virtual table top playfield where multiple people
interact with a game in real time using glorified pointers with buttons on them.
GPS includes an encryption mode with two known 'settings' one setting reduces the quality of GPS so that it cannot be used to for precision guided weapons using civilian gear. It encrypts the low order bits in the time signature. The second setting is to encrypt the entire time signature so that only GPS receivers with the decryption key are usable. To my understanding the fully encrypted mode can be regional.
The mode 1 (reduced resolution) was turned off many years ago when GPS started to be used by air lines as a back up navigation input & altimeter.
It is unlikely that US has enabled encrypted mode over Ukraine or Russia. It would be pointless against Russia, and counter productive for Ukrainian forces.
There is nothing new here.
When Lithium was being explored, so was it's atomic neighbor Sodium. It was found back then that Lithium would result in higher charge density, and that was that. Sodium research stopped. They didn't even know back then that Lithium batteries would require Cobalt and Nickle.They were looking at graphite.
So now with peak Lithium costing far too much... The less ideal material, Sodium, is looking a lot better. Sodium is far more abundant, batteries using it will weigh less, though they will be physically larger, and overall charge density will be less. The losses are minor for most commercial applications. The big win is more stable chemistry, easier support for molten salt infrastructure batteries, and lower fabrication and material costs. Much of the assembly infrastructure will be exactly the same, but the material composition will change. Less exotic rare-earths.
With copyright law in the US, if someone can show in court that you had opportunities to defend some of your works or content and didn't do it? That can be used as a justification for not letting you have control over it any more. That's what leads to this "over the top" stuff with take-downs and legal threats. Lots of "biting the hand that feeds".
You are mixing up copyright and trademark law. There is no defend it or lose it in copyright. At any time you can say, hey this isn't fair use, C&D, assuming you have not given some legal license... like say publishing them on YouTube themselves... which Apple does do now. Which means there is now a copy of that video that Apple does not own. But I digress.
In this case it is Apple Legal being a bunch of 'Dog in the Manger' pricks.
The WWDC videos were Apple promoting their platform to developers. New tech, often with useful summaries of features. Many of the older technologies are still available on the platform, so the old videos do have relevance. And many of them do have historical significance.
This always happens happens when consumer grade idiots start tinkering with shit they don't understand.
The same thing happened when similar idiots started modifying their vape systems to increase the coil output to create denser vape clouds.
They would exceed the discharge rate of the battery causing it to go into thermal run away. the battery would detonate in the idiots pocket.
The situation is not helped by the common practice of Chinese OEMs to cut corners, using out of spec batteries, and removing over-current and charge protection circuits from the systems to save on manufacturing costs. Chinese OEMs DGAF about product safety.
18650 is the housing spec of the cell. (in this case with 0 added to the end)
if it not 18mm in diameter and 65mm in length it is not an 18650!!!
It has been recorded. Most people are looking in the wrong places.
And the ice core and sediment core data is still being analyzed. Each core takes years to study and report on.
The rough outlines are that the earth has gone though large temp excursions during the time hominids have lived on this rock.
AGW is more of a really unpleasant shift in meteorological happenings; calling it existential would be a huge over-reach.
There have been people murdered by stalkers after having their details leaked by kiwi farms and people killed in SWATtings coordinated on the website.
Stop posting bullshit. Name one incident that was caused by KiwiFarms? I'll wait.
Mostly what KiwiFarmers do is document Lolcows. Touching/Tipping the cows is strictly forbidden and will lead to a ban on KF and other sites.
KF is not full of alt-right people, mostly it is basement dwellers and JAFOs. Mostly they are apolitical. The study 'influencers' and other strange social media phenomenon.
The reason Keffals went after KF is because they documented her DMs with minors. Allegedly, those DMs showed grooming them. I didn't get to seem them so I don't know.
My guess is all the rabid AC schreeching around this subject is Keffalites trying everything in their power to keep KF and other detractors away from their Queen.
Amber Heard might be a close runner up for the most toxic/dangerous fanbase on Social Media.
No.
Fed agencies don't get a pass.
They know damn well what it costs to process a FOIA request.
They deliberately under-fund the process to evade responsibility and transparency.
I'm glad there are still some judges that will hold the Feds to their responsibilities to the People!
I would have given you +1 something, except the fact that you speak about the "Left's street thugs" makes your whole discourse shakey.
I am white, middle class, high income, but I loathe white conservatives, because the things that I like, technology and science, cannot be practised by conservative people, only by people looking forward, by people who dare to drop their preconceptions and myths and dare to embrace reality, how ugly it might be.
Religious institutions and conservative groups should be burned to the ground, humanity should be freed from their knuckle dragging.
You bring the whole nation down.
You are a bigot through and through.
I think Apple killed 32 bit support in Catalina to simplify Rosetta 2. When I first saw that Catalina didn't have 32 bit support I was wondering why they would bother after having it in the system for well over a decade. Now I know why.
The most important role for macOS is as a Dev support platform for iOS, padOS and watchOS systems.
Anything they do to harm the developer experience on MacOS is going to reduce the pool of high quality apps in the ecosystem.
And that dev experience also includes creatives!!! So no I don't expect that macOS is going to get simplified the way iOS did.
(iOS is a stripped down version of macOS and always has been.)
And it can be turned off to fix the boot config like for instance locking out the driver for a MacBook Pro 2012 15" Raedeon GPU so that it is still usable.
Boot into the Recovery partition
open a terminal window
execute csrutil disable
reboot voila boot partition is R/W again
Pretty weak arguments.
What really hurt Apple is not having enough clout to getting features they wanted to extend their platform.
It also hurts when you can't refresh your platform because Intel can't or won't improve the specs of the chip set you rely on.
Intel processors are not cheap and the support hardware is also increasing cost and reducing system performance metrics.
Cost of designing around problems in a chip set is a large sunk cost, and you cannot get it fixed.
Apple has been designing ARM SoCs for a long time now. They are on their 14th iteration of the A-series.
It will finally allow Apple to add features at the processor scale to differentiate the Mac from other laptop/desktop offerings, because a slick GUI is just not enough any longer.
I do this on my mac. Nice transparent Win7 VM running all the stuff that wasn't worth porting to MacOS. It just works.
