But, still short $80. Screwed again.

In the 90â(TM)s, we developed Windows software that encrypted and signed email, offered secure file transfer, secure FAX, and secure chat. It was simple to use and incorporated the latest RSA libraries (before the scandal). It blocked email that failed dkim. We had law firms expressing interest.

We were going to charge $99. And, we even ported it Mac so it was cross platform.

Then, Microsoft and Netscape offered encrypted email for free just as we were to about accept VC. And WinSCP allowed secure file transfer. The interest in our product went poof overnight.

How do you convince people they should spend $99 when they could use MSâ(TM) or Netscapeâ(TM)s bogus implementation for free? Keep in mind, they had no idea how much their privacy really mattered until they are scammed or installed malware. They still donâ(TM)t.

Microsoft did nothing to make their process easy to use. But, they were Microsoft, right?

We never launched.

Still kicking myselfâ¦but we ran out of money trying to overcome ignorance.

Anyway, the Brits are used to their privacy being invaded by their govâ(TM)t. Nothing new there. Whether that laziness persists across nations? Who knows?

Just glad Apple took the path they did. Short of turning iCloud entirely and get everyone screaming and, likely, more pointless lawsuits and judgments, they just said F it.

Or, that you aren't running the drivers Datsung offers, perhaps?

Could it be the drivers your OS provides?

Oh, I won't disagree with you on the death of Borland. That whole Borland/Inprise/Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero debacle was brutal - people thought the language and tool died.

Then people bailed to C# or Java or JavaScript (web dev) and others with no clue badmouthed the language (usually, C# devs)

You can thank the C/C++ software engineers who wrote the JavaScript scripting engines for you.

It's #9 on the list having crawled back up from #30. Once upon a time (2001) it was at #6. It's been in the top 10 for a couple of months now.

It's fast, easy to learn, compiled, memory safe. You can develop Win32/64, OSX, Android, and iOS app. And, with the right tools (ie TMS Webcore), you can build web apps as well. The downsides? It is Object Pascal, uses RAD methodology, IDE still only runs on Windows, and commercial (a free version is available). As of Feb 14, it has been around for 30 years.

Yet, it is constantly ignored by Tiobe in all of their reporting despite its movement in their list - even above Rust. Go figure. Tiobe only likes to talk about their darling or trendy languages.

So, if he managed to get a super majority and Congress working together, he actually will have done something good during his presidency?

That might require the raising of a toast from someone so afflicted by TDS as myself to this POS if he did in gratitude.

After getting Win11 for Arm on an M4 Max Macbook and the development environment working, the shoved this in my mouth.

Result was over an hour load time for my dev environment. I uninstalled and, eventually, the load time took 15 minutes. Then, it loaded almost immediately.

Backed up the VM.

Next day, they shoved it down my throat again.
Another serious load time issue. But, now its running fine.

Wonder if its their Antivirus scanning everything before first run!

Andâ¦noâ¦.i did not enjoy having it shoved down my throat. But, my Win10 Intel VMs arent compatible.

Yeahâ¦i still have another Win11 dev environment to set up. It can waitâ¦ill run the old VMs on my old MBP

Wore jeans to a black tie event our college held euth him as the guest of hinr when the Mac was first released.

He was the only one to ignore the dress code. Of course, what was anyone else to object?

This is the biggest gripe about passkeys - they are not suitable for a Two-Factor Authentication mechanism.

The rule, something you know, something you have , and something you are is broken with Passkeys - it becomes something you have. Additionally, passkeys can be transferred or shared (depending upon implementation).

This is why financial institutions won't use Passkeys in their current form.

There are ways to fix the holes, but they are not in the standard yet nor a default standard.

Still, a step in the right direction.

It's compiled "in-memory." It is not "interpreted" per se.

why Commander Adama didn't like networked systems on his battlestar.

Didn't we learn from this? We aren't getting any 6's or 8's for our pleasure, either.

What has happened before shall happen again.

So Say We All

To calculate...

Yeah...it can.

Itdoesn't mean , just like the models before it, that this model is correct either.

They like to have things stuck into their bottoms?

Joking aside, they don't expect people will need to turn off their Macs - just put them to slept or reboot when necessary.

The Apple Mouse holds a charge for a long time. When you do have to charge it, you can do it overnight. Mine lasts at least 2 months a charge.

I only turn off my 2017 MBP when I travel. I can only recall having to use force shutdown twice in 7 years.

Oh, they ARE bright enough. The headlights are just out of alignment and not focused on the road as they should be.

I have a 2013 Hyundai. There is no mechanism to adjust the lights. You either have to put them in correctly every time (easier said than done given the space you have to work) or have misaligned lights.

Where I live, it's not legal to retrofit LED lights. The best I can do is to install expensive halogen bulbs.
