Maybe I'm missing something, but to me, this looks like it generates only about 88 bits of entropy. The 25 dice can be arranged in 25 positions 25! different ways. Each die can show one of 6 faces in one of 4 orientations.

log2(4*6*25!) is approximately 88.2

What am I missing?

I'm not sure about the Google side, but Apple has been explicit in stating that they will not alllow apps on the App Store that do this. They have to use the API only as intended, and are auditing the code to insure that they're doing so.

And nobody is pushing the apps on the phones. You'll still have to download it and enable it yourself.

Poor little Bobby Tables is all grown up and still causing problems.

But "more than three decades" means all of three decades and part of a fourth; which clearly doesn't apply to MSDN.

As useless as I thought Apple's TV app was, this is exactly what it does. It provides a single interface to all of the streaming services that you have on your device. Maybe they really are skating to where the puck is going to be.

Reality has a liberal bias.

The storage is absolutely user-upgradeable. Apple even demoed a RAID array that can be added internally as a PCI component, and with four TB3 ports, external storage is a no-brainer as well. The on-board SSD can be as big as 4TB, but you're most likely just going to put the OS on it, so it doesn't really need to be that big. Besides, starting with Catalina, the OS is automatically installed onto a separate partition from the user data and is made read-only. Just because the T2 chip encrypts data doesn't preclude you from using whatever storage you want to throw at it.

I can assure you that there are plenty of professionals out there who know that time is money and this machine is going to save them time. 1.5 TB of RAM, 28 cores and four Vega II video cards will enable them to do their job faster, and recoup the $50,000 in a reasonable amount of time. Ergo, they'll sell plenty of them to people whose workflow can take advantage of horsepower like this.

Actually, MacOS is what it's called now. Apple hasn't called it OS X for two years. I guess you were too busy trying to come up with good insults to make sure that you had your facts straight.

In the keynote, they specified that the NICs are 10gbe.

And 640k should be enough memory for anybody...

I'm sure it will work just like every other ApplePay transaction, requiring active approval from the user before completing the transaction.

If your company has deployed enough iPhones to have hundreds returned by former employees, I'm gobsmacked that you're not using an MDM tool of some sort. And if you are using MDM and it's not letting you unlock your company's phones, you're not doing it right.

I had the old App Store version, and when this happened, the people at BareBones only asked me to send a copy of my receipt (which I could still download from the App Store) and they sent me a license for the stand-alone version, no muss, no fuss. I also recall that this process was clearly spelled out right on the front page of their website.

Except for the fact that the domain will not be released for re-registration until a year after Brexit. By that time, everyone will have figured out how to find the new domain, or switched to a competitor.
