It could be done in a way that Apple does not know the key and is technologically unable to comply. But for such a low stakes system they would obviously never go through the trouble as it would cause more user friction than it's worth.

(You could have a privacy email be created as a totally unique auth key that's just stored offline on a User's apple computers and synced via an encrypted storage system).

Of course Apple could still associate source IPs for logins between multiple accounts.

I feel like a good idea for this sort of thing if it's going to be deployed is include the applicant in the loop.

"Hi, your application will be rejected because:
* You list your qualifications as an electrician, not a medical expert.

If this anything is in error and you want to continue with your submission, please explain the error below and click "Contest" attesting that you believe this to be in error and someone will be sure to review more carefully."

Even without AI it would be nice for job application forms to let applications know that they're just going to get tossed automatically regardless of the automated system. In fact it should be against the law to discard applications automatically without allowing an application to review the criteria by which they were automatically rejected regardless of it being algorithmic or fuzzy AI.

Couldn't you just build some massive Silicon Carbide rods and heat the air for load shedding for much less money than the cost of batteries?

That's not entirely true. During Covid the government was forcing Ford etc to manufacture ventilators.

Microsoft is adapting to Apple dropping OpenGL support.

From TFA:

But fuck Microsoft?

Netflix's deal excludes the cable channels so those will still get sold to an oligarch after the Netflix deal closes. (if it closes).

"Consumer" class action, which I'm sure was written and bankrolled by Jared Kushner and Ellison.

I've appreciated the cheap, practically new equipment on Ebay for pennies. But yeah, it's absurd. I've had a total of 2 ports fail on a switch in the last 18 years. Just run them till something goes wrong. Why else have redundancy?

It's like the old adage: The architect 2x's the design for resiliency, the engineer doubles it again for extra redundancy, the carpenter reinforces it 2x for safety and suddenly you're 8x instead of 2x.

But it's also an argument for the disability-access arguments which are that increasing access for people with disabilities generally helps everyone.

The old fill in the bubble testing has long been obsolete. If you come up with a superior method of testing that is adaptable easily to people with special needs, you'll end up with a superior learning experience for everyone.

This is the beta build. So it IS the QA/QC testing. A total nothingburger story.

They're also cracking down on HDCP compatibility. My video glasses now also don't work with downloaded Netflix shows which is obnoxious. So of course I'm just going to go find an ISO and the more ISOs I download the less incentive I have to actually pay Netflix for something that doesn't work.

It's not like these anti-piracy efforts are doing anything to stop a perfect stream from being available 1 hour after airing.

That's because videos are terribly efficient. You used to be able to skim an article in 30 seconds and get all of the important information. Now it's a 45 minute video explaining that the bash command you need is du -sh /path/to/folder

to get the folder size.

Do I need to listen to two podcasters ramble for an hour? No I do not. Not only do I want to play it back at 2x speed. I also want an AI to cut out the 90% of fluff.

It's not about scale. Fiber is inexpensive to make. But it's just more temperamental than copper. You need to keep the ports completely dust free. It's not ideal for a normal home and doesn't carry electricity so you can't power a device at the other end of the plug with POE.

There are $700 gaming monitors with those specs already. There will probably be $300 gaming monitors with those specs in a year or two.

Like a bike messenger? Why does a delivery rider need home internet?!
