Our european overlords named Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, 400 years ago. 250 years onwards and as a superpower, it is time for a change.
OK, so we change Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of Presidential Popularity and Lake Ontario to Lake TrumpRapedChildren?
I prefer a PoE hat and PXE booting. I have about 14 of them doing different jobs all booting and running from a NAS. Makes remote updates easy too.
That sounds like a fine solution for a working network situation. My needs are more in line with putting Pis in places the network is spotty and I need them to survive for a while on battery and restart from local storage and keep on doing the thing when power is lost for too long. So a UPS hat and NVME seems to do the trick.
Now no way to get more than 1 gpu in any apple machine as I'm trying to spec massive parallel gpu machines for AI work.
Sounds like you're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and blame Apple for that. First of all, for AI work, why aren't you using the Apple Neural Engine that has existed since the M1. Second, you can get external GPUs if you wanted. But again neither the Mac Mini nor the iMac explicitly designed for the task you want. I don't complain a Toyota Prius can't move large pieces of furniture.
The world is much better for him as he wanders off with hundreds of millions of profits gained primarily through treating customers like the dumbest dipshits on the planet. CEOs of megacorporations don't care about other people, if they did, they wouldn't have what it takes to become CEOs of megacorporations.
However he did overdo things with build everything in China to minimize cost. Never become dependent upon a single source. I think Apple has learned that lesson. Second sources are an engineering best practice for a very good and hard learned reason. Never put your fate in someone else's hands. With a real engineer coming in perhaps more attention will be played to such things.
It's probably worth clarifying that this was done by Tim Cook in his previous job as senior VP of operations, and was long complete by the time he became CEO. But yes.
He's worried that people who support him might notice how he's fucking up, so he's employing a distraction. He's not very smart so this is the best he can do, but his followers are even less so, so this works.
I use a product based on how well it works.
Google Maps displays incorrect names for geographical locations.
And then you still have to force it to stop after disabling it, because disable doesn't mean disable to Google. If they don't actually quit the app, how will they continue to steal your location data?
Oh yeah, from play services.
We've gotten to the point where phone makers shouldn't be allowed to bundle any apps with the phone. Gross.
> random number generators replaced by domestic designs.
Do you have any information on that? Like which domestic designs? Is there a link?
I've designed the RNGs in several chips including the RdRand/RdSeed one in Intel CPUs. The AMD one was a bit weird but I have no information on it. In my current role we sell a couple of RNG silicon IPs to whoever wants one (a big fast one and a small slow one) and I've left behind a trail of RNGs in other places.
A thing I've noticed is that a number of the RNG IPs out there are not great, but they are for sale and people buy them, including national bodies looking for their own national secure silicon designs, but they're getting the RNG from a chop shop in Bangalore, except for India who's getting theirs from outside India.
>Just don't use SD cards for the OS on the RPi.
This. An MVME riser on a pi is a fine thing.
Raises the question: how redundant is that code.
Redundancy would not be my concern. Security would be. What does that code plug into? As head of HR, I would imagine that she would have access to sensitive information. If we suppose she extended her calendar app to access all of Amazon employees' calendars did anyone secure that? What data can be gathered from the calendar: Medical leave dates including pregnancy leave, surgeries, etc. Meetings about disciplinary actions.. Meetings about terminations/layoffs. Any notes attached to or recorded at those meetings.
The kernel is not the operating system, only part of it. As long as Google is keeping parts of their system closed it makes legal sense to subject them to the requirement. As long as they are putting a lot into play services...
Using passport as national ID is common and you could have just googled it to find out like I did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Exactly, a passport is insufficient as an actual ID as DLs are used today for a number of reasons
The passport is more than sufficient as an actual ID. It is sufficient for ID in all situations. The Driver's License verifies the right to drive, and the ID at the state level. It's the driver's license which is insufficient as an ID, not the passport. The passport always verifies identity.
ID.me is also a private entity which makes it a total non-starter for an actual national level usage.
Welcome to capitalism.
The USA has national ID, it's called a passport. (Real ID was supposed to be a national ID, but it's been watered down so that it effectively isn't one.) The passport or passport card is the gold standard of ID because it verifies both nationality and citizenship.
The USA also has national online ID verification, it's called ID.me. It's shit, but it exists.
