Yes you can. You have to boot into recovery mode and then change the security level. This is already something you have to do to load third-part (even signed) kexts, which are sometimes required for certain types of presumably poorly written (or not Apple-blessed) hardware drivers.

Apparently this is even still possible on the iPhone chipped MacBook Neo.

We would have to re-arrange society to ease many of the stressors in life. I predict we'll be needing those drugs for a while.

Based on the cost of products from China vs the price of products made in China but sold by non-Chinese companies, I'd say the price well more than covers the cost of everything for practically any product where they also choose to display ads.

They just want more, more, always more.

It's also possible that Dolby is twisting logic into a pretzel in order to make this claim. It wouldn't be the first far-fetched theory of infringement to go through court.

This thing was never about "dangers to defense." The original contract was signed and had clear terms that humans would always have the final say. The DoD unilaterally wanted to change those terms and Anthropic said no. In reasonable times this might result in Anthropic simply losing the contract; plenty of other companies including OpenAI are perfectly happy to sign under the new terms. To declare them a supply chain risk as punishment was unprecedented and illegal apparently.

Anthropic was never a danger to defense. They fully allowed their technology to be used to kill people. There was no issue there.

The idea that the DoD wants to allow AI to kill people without any human intervention (and responsibility) is really disturbing. But given the way things are going, maybe if AI simply ran all the wars we'd all be better off. You've been declared a casualty. Report to the absorption chambers! Time to watch "A Taste of Armageddon" again.

The first thing I do on installing Linux is nuke NetworkManager and it's ilk.

Except MS Office was based on Carbon, not Cocoa. So it was basically OS 9 code that had a prettier face on it. But you could always tell Carbon apps as they never looked or acted quite like a normal Cocoa-based OS X app would.

Mostly just in the bulk, low barriers to entry, and pervasiveness(like a lot of things social media). The case of actors actually goes back a long way; state laws regarding compensation of child actors were spurred by the case of one who was popular in the 1920s and litigated with his parents over where the money wasn't in 1939. That case doesn't provide for takedowns; but it's also the case that filmmakers are normally looking for children to play characters; rather than to do 'candid' intense documentaries of them at home; so the degree of public exposure of private life is presumably deemed to be less; with the main issue being children who were...definitely...getting a solid education while on stage finding that all the money was gone when it became their problem.

Child-blogging, by contrast, seems to reward verisimilitude (if not necessarily truth) and invasiveness, relatively pervasive in-home mining for 'content', so presumably seems better served by removal-focused options; though there has definitely been talk about covering the economic angle in line with child actors.

I don't even know what the deal is with child beauty pageants, or how something you'd assume is a salacious bit of slander about what pedophile cabals are totally doing, somewhere, is actually a thing a slice of parents are into, way, way, into. Apparently that's a third rail to someone, though, as the only jurisdiction I'm aware of with significant restrictions on them is France.

Unless quantum computing becomes cheap and comparatively widely available quite quickly after becoming viable passwords seem like they'll be a manageable problem. Nobody likes rotating them; but it's merely tedious to do and the passwords themselves are of zero interest unless they are still being accepted. If it does go from 'not possible' to 'so cheap we can just go through through in bulk' overnight that could ruin some people's days; but if there's any interval of 'nope, the fancy physics machine in the dilution refrigerator is currently booked by someone with a nation state intelligence budget' you can just rotate older credentials.

Now, if you were hoping that encryption was going to save any secrets that are interesting in and of themselves that got out in encrypted form; then you have a problem. Those can't be readily changed and will just be waiting.

The parliamentary system has one thing going for it. The prime minister must also be elected as a lawmaker, so he has skin in the legislative game, and can't just say off the wall garbage. He has to appease his party, including back benchers, and any coalition participants. And like you say, he or she is vulnerable to a non-confidence vote.

In all democratic countries democracy really tends to break down at the lowest and most important levels. The things that impact peoples' daily lives the most originate in local government, and voters have the most apathy at this level.

Assuming it's remotely true (and there's good reason for thinking it isn't), it still means the FBI director was negligent in their choice of personal email provider, that the email provider had incompetent security, and that the government's failure to either have an Internet Czar (the post exists) or to enforce high standards on Internet services are a threat to the security of the nation (since we already know malware can cross airgaps through negligence, the DoD has been hit that way a few times). The FBI director could have copied unknown quantities of malware onto government machines through lax standards, any of which could have delivered classified information over the Internet (we know this because it has also happened to the DoD).

In short, the existence of the hack is a minor concern relative to every single implication that hack has.

Mr Putin, is that you?

Every fact checker out there declares this one false and bogus. While corruption happens under all parties, this story is false. Repeating it as fact is dishonest. Please stop.

The current crass state of political discourse seems to use this sort of lie to justify one's own political team's increasingly lewd, illegal, and unconstitutional behavior. If you think we're bad, you should see those awful, evil, Democrats! Or, if you think we're bad thank your lucky stars the Republicans aren't in.

It stinks.

There's no reason a smart TV MUST have an account with the manufacturer or seller unless they want to enshittify it.

You may want to have accounts with various streaming services or perhaps you just want it to stream video you have on a NAS.

Reddit only posted a profit when they started to sell all of their users comments to AI companies. Those companies don't want to pay to recycle their own AI comments back into their AI, so Reddit needs help to make sure as much of the comments aren't bots.

I've often thought it would be nice to simply replace the smart TV motherboard with a generic screen panel driver that only has HDMI. Unfortunately 4K really complicates things over the older LVDS interface standard. It's still possible, but not easy.
