That's in all of the latest versions of ssh, which is or can be installed on more than just Macs. For example, the latest version of RHEL has that warning too.

The warning can be disabled through the WarnWeakCrypto option in ssh_config, if you wish. Obviously that doesn't actually "fix" the issue that is being warned about, but that hide the warning and avoids having it continually popping up.

Not really since it doesn't give you a full-screen type of display.

I'm thinking of something that would give you the equivalent of an actual computer monitor in front of you or off at any angle you choose. So to the user it wouldn't look much different than carrying a monitor around at a distance of, say, two or three feet in front of you.

Comment Glasses with a virtual monitor (Score 1) 51

I don't know if this would count as VR, but I've always thought that some kind of glasses with a built-in monitor would be useful. You see that sort of thing sometimes in stuff like Ironman.

You could see through the glasses as usual but you could have a monitor in the corner (or where-ever else you wanted to place it) at any relative size you want (since you could decide if you wanted it to appear big and far away or close up and small).

"The model it self continues to be used generate outputs over and over again, and may eventually write out quite a lot of the original work."

Sure. I might use a textbook over and over again to figure out various things over the course of time too.

I have a bookcase for that exact purpose.

I am Canadian and in the early 1980s I used to cross the border without showing anything at all, or even stopping.

I'd drive up to the US border shack and slow way down prepared to stop. The guy manning the crossing would see the Canadian license plates on my car and just wave me through. I don't recall a single time that I even fully stopped the car.

Coming back the Canadian customs guys always had me stop so they could ask what, if anything, I was bringing back. Maybe I had to show those guys my drivers license; I don't exactly remember.

A lot of companies that make military equipment don't allow field repairs or "jerry rigging".

It's similar to John Deere not allowing farmers fix their own tractors, but if your jeep won't start and someone is about to open fire on your position, that would be a more immediate problem.

"the Trump administration may as well just keep the damn money."

Why should they be allowed to keep it under any circumstances?

Would you tell a thief that since it would be inconvenient for him to return what he stole he might as well keep it?

It was collected illegally and it should be refunded to those who paid it. Joe the grocer on the corner and Walmart should both get refunded what they are owed, plus interest.
