project off the coast of Scotland has four 1.5-megawatt turbines - enough to power 7,000 homes for a year,

megawatts is a unit of power

powering homes for a year is a unit of ENERGY. (describing megawatt-hours)

If you're comparing those units directly, you don't understand electricity. Like, "your car gets 25 miles per gallon, but I drove MY car 200 miles last week". The comparison doesn't make sense, and you can't draw any conclusions from it.

Apple has been steadily moving their hardware into Vintage and Obsolete over the last SEVERAL decades. When a device hits 5 years old, it turns Vintage, which basically means they don't promise to have all parts available anymore, and some may be restricted to "repairs only, not stocking". At 7 years they turn Obsolete, and Apple sells off their entire inventory of parts. In both cases, Apple retains a small number of parts for repairs in places like California, where manufacturers are legally required to carry parts for longer. (10 years in cali?)

So I don't know if I'd classify this as "news", more like a minor update in an ongoing process. "City fixes another pothole, news at 10." I assume most manufacturers have similar policies, but a lot of them are either secretive or aren't so consistently applied. If anything, Apple's doing a much better job for the consumer, with their very public and consistent policy. Now go and try to find out how long Whirlpool is going to carry parts for your dish washer.

Sidenote: I recall a few rare cases where someone REALLY wanted their old mac repaired, and I asked "do you know anyone in California?" I suggested they ship it to their friend and have them take it to a local apple store to get it fixed. AFAIK that plan worked.

I was also known to, from time to time, order a bunch of a part that was prone to failure just before it crossed into Vintage territory. That way we had parts on-hand to repair a common issue when nobody else did. There were a few parts we never ended up selling, but there were also a few that were like gold, with people driving klong distances to come pick up a part not even Apple had anymore. It was a bit of a guessing game. My manager questioned my stocking the last 23 iMac G5 power supplies Apple was willing to sell us, and it took several years, but we sold our last two to an APPLE STORE 100 miles south of here. We probably should have started marking them up, but we never did.

The first rule of security is usually "don't make your own". In other words, use existing, tested, verified, trusted code, protocols, and processes. Now if your INTENT is to roll your own, you really do need a lot of peer review. Even if you have a Ph.D in cyber-security and secure coding, you really still need others to take a look at it to see if you missed something. Because EVERYBODY misses something. The attack surface is just too broad to catch every subtle thing on the first run though.

And if some 3rd party hops in and IMMEDIATELY finds a hole (without the benefit of the source to look through) it's virtually guaranteed to have a lot more holes in it just waiting to be zero-day'd.

Apparently Moa were very tasty, hence why they became extinct not long after humans came here.

He used machine learning to write a book about machine learning.

No minions required.

Or maybe the minions used ChatGPT

It's a text book about machine learning and LLM's. it's teaching you about made up shit that has the appearance of being legit.

It's what LLMs do best. Make random crap look like real crap.

Above a certain speed and runway position, takeoffs are mandatory too.

Really old and stuck technologies.... that require TLS and have up to date certificate authority lists. The root cert that lets encrypt uses has only existed since 2016

They don't have anyone else to build their products.

Apparently it does support charging, mostly. If you plug in a USB-C charger.
It balks when the video mode is negotiated if you plug in to a dock that supports alt modes.

So they need to steal your phone and your lock code to get into the security app to unlock your account ?

If they have that, they don't need to sim swap.

Nothing like CarFax.
CarFax doesn't store any data on the car, it's not needed. If the complete picture requires external data sources, all the device needs is a unique identifier, which it already has.

Sounds like they want to store errors or other things that happen on device, probably to reject warranty claims. Case opened? Unauthorised operating system installed? Hardware components changed, then changed back again?

If the reason was lock down, why is a 7th gen i7 with a hardware TPM 2.0 and UEFI SecureBoot not allowed Windows 11?
