How good are mitigations to speculative execution attacks (Spectre, Meltdown) on the new Apple processors?

Do they beat Intel in this respect, too?

Microsoft is rebranding every one of their products "Copilot", so at this point it seems hard to avoid using it.

Can someone ELI5 what they are trying to build? Is it something similar to Android's verified boot + attestation or Play Integrity?

Because it's trivial to circumvent this security feature with a Faraday bag.

You were lied to. It's a fun lie, but still a lie. Companies are made of people and reflect the values of those people Mostly top-down. Some companies are villainous. Some are fine. Some are great.

Disney always believed in changing the world for the better. And I think they've done some great work. That's a top-down corporate value. Straight from the head.

The problem with trying to change the world for the better is that sometimes -- often -- we just don't know enough. It's the "fatal conceit", that our imaginations are somehow more powerful than billions of individual decision makers. Kennedy had an ideology. She believed in it. A lot of people believed in it. It was a lemon. The Star Wars IP was trashed. (And same with every Lucas Films IP.)

Corporate values are the values of the humans that work there -- mostly the leadership.

It sure was beautifully shot. If only they put 1/10th as much work into the characters and their motivations.

If you block Cloudflare, you block about 25% of the internet. Good luck with that.

Can't you do the same in a more standards-compatible way with CTRL+c, CTRL+v?

They have no need for it, when they always have a phone in their pocket. Are we also surprised people can't use a slide rule, ride a horse, or light a fire with a flint stone?

Oof I forgot that Slashdot is stuck in the second millennium ASCII era.

Julia already supports arbitrary Unicode, but the programmers there are more serious and use it for serious stuff like λ ≡ μ and a Ã-- b . The standard VScode Julia package supports it, and it's great for readability.

They are "ideological qualified", which is what DEI was always about anyway.

Sounds like psychological projection to me.

I care, and I wasn't "slapped in the face". You care -- were you "slapped in the face"?

Your problem is with "tribal knowledge", not with "face slapping". And tribal knowledge is a universal problem -- at least, that's what the science says. As stupid as MAGA is -- AND IT IS STUPID -- every tribe is equally stupid. If your particular tribe is correct on some issue, it's mostly likely because of lady fortuna.

Alas, thus it is, has been, and always will be.

This is too black and white. Nobody wants the government wasting money. And maybe the government shouldn't be doing some of the things that it does. For example, every state has a dept of education, and the federal dept merely serves as a way to strong-arm states of political issues, like ruining the lives of college men on hearsay because politicized moral panic from epistemologically challenged feminists.

Thankfully the US government is relatively efficient -- as these things go.

And you're factually incorrect as well. Trump cannot "take it all away". Congress has to do that. Trump is an ineffectual blow hard would-be dictator. It seems his only true talents are as a cult leader, and a kleptocrat.
