Well, macOS is UNIX. Certified, trademarked, all that, has been for decades. Mostly because Apple is one of the few companies that pays the fee, because it really doesn't matter these days. In some ways it's more UNIX-like than Linux now, because it doesn't have the systemd cancer that's infected a lot of distros.

Not so much TV OS, there's definitely no reason to certify that as UNIX. But it's still a *nix, every OS Apple releases is at the core.

I used Airbnb for the first time this year.

It was fine. Cabin in the Smokies, the only requests were to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher and start it (they provided dishwasher pills), put any furniture that we'd moved back where it was, and put the trash in the bear-resistant cans outside. I asked about washing the sheets, they said let the cleaners do it. I did use the washer and dryer a few times, they provided detergent and softener.

No extra fees for anything, the up front price was what I paid.

If I was staying in a city, I'd use a hotel. But I had a conference in the area, and I thought a place with lots of space and a hot tub would be nice. It was. It included a full kitchen complete with cooking equipment and a smoker grill. The price was comparable to a hotel room for the week. The only camera was at the front door, it was disclosed, and if any others were hidden they were hidden really well, including from a network scan.

No, I don't think greed is human nature. Greed is taught.

And profit-seeking is always destructive. Nobody should be seeing "good returns in their retirement fund" because we never should have moved away from defined benefit pensions. One economic downturn and that 401k means you don't get to retire for another decade.

It's a bot account. Probably Russian propaganda.

The only way to have police forces hold back crime is to dismantle police forces.

They are the criminals now. Over a thousand people killed by police every year in the US. More theft by police than burglars every year. They're a huge burden on society, they are the enemy.

And ALPR isn't a tool, it's an automated invasion of privacy.

This one is automatically abuse.

There are NO valid use cases for ALPR. It needs to be banned.

Posting copaganda is NOT helping anybody.

It's a good thing they just admitted that this game is going to be ineligible for copyright then.

And since it's ineligible, the DMCA doesn't apply when it's cracked.

We don't need open standards. We need a ban on ALL ALPR and face recognition technology.

If the cops can afford to buy it they're obviously overfunded. Cut their money.

So, "But our car violates Part 15" is not exactly what I'd call a good reason to let them drop AM receivers.

And selling a car that violates Part 15 can cause BIG problems for the owner of the car. The FCC can show up and tell you that you're not allowed to operate your car. So unintentional radiation is something that MUST be fixed no matter whether the car has an AM radio or not. And car manufacturers shipping cars that don't meet Part 15 is eventually going to get them sued, and going to result in them losing and having to pay a LOT of money.

Manufacturers should not even be trying to fight this. Their liability exposure is potentially huge if they're shipping RF noisy cars.

So, the reason for mandating it in cars isn't the right wing talk garbage.

It's the highway information radios. The ones the transportation departments have set up in cities and around construction projects, along with the signs with flashing lights that say things like "tune to 1620 AM when flashing" to let you know there's something going on with the road that you should know about. The low power AM signal propagates further than low power FM would, and the band is less crowded.

And it's not a couple hundred bucks. It's maybe $5 worth of parts. And the car companies can't market it as an add-on if it's mandatory.

AM works just fine in my plug-in hybrid, and those electric motors are spinning any time the car is moving.

islam? You mean the religion with a pedophile 'prophet'? The 'prophet' who split the moon in half?

That islam?

It's a fucking ridiculous cult.

100% of good Mustang sales don't even have a transmission.

(Because the good ones are electric.)

eCVTs are for cars. No belts, just 3 motors and a planetary gear. More reliable than any other option than going pure EV and ditching the transmission entirely.

What lunatic elected a cargo trike?

Limited screen real estate is never not going to be an issue. I mean, I suppose if I wanted to swivel my head around all the time on a giant multi-monitor setup it might be possible to have enough screen real estate most of the time without overlapping windows, but meh, most of the time I'm on a laptop anyway. And focus follows mouse is just infuriating.
