Is this a joke? If not what would be the point of this, seriously? Reminds me of drones writing the name of a Pharmaceutical product into the blue sky of Toronto, a few years back.
I believe it's described as a "test flight", so the only purpose is to fly around for a few hours and watch the instruments .. so you might as well add a few lazy turns in and draw a pattern. So long as it's outside major air routes and military airspace it's in nobody's way.
I have my dofiles script on github that I run on remote machines I frequently connect to and it installs zsh with my .zshrc, .bashrc in case I switch to bash and all the other dotfiles I got accustomed to. It has been definitely worth the extra trouble. Of course I still use bash for scripting and zsh is not really in the way.
I was just saying this to someone. ~4% Control ~95% of all bitcoin. Could anyone explain to me how this is acceptable? Why buy a currency that is worthless without electricity and where the wealth is so unevenly distributed? I’m curious. To me that’s already two good reasons to stay away. Am I missing something?
I've been with apple since 1995, but it seems to me that the fruit has been rotting from the inside out for some time now and it is starting to become very obvious. I hope they get their act together, because a real alternative that "just works" does not yet exist.
Apple has succumbed to the programming culture that is pervasive everywhere now -- "release early, release often." This isn't just an Apple problem, this is everywhere. We all use less stable software.
Release early/often is a mantra which fits free software development, one where there is often a second party between the software producer and the end user. This second party can be an integrator - Debian, Redhat, etc - or an IT department.
Release early/often is categorically unsuitable for proprietary, closed software development, especially for a company like Apple which directly targets end users and has made a name for producing stuff which 'just works'.
As such I don't think Apple actually follows release early/often, they just seem to think they can get by with less testing than they actually should. They also have a tendency to concentrate efforts on superficial 'improvements' while they lack the same drive to improve basic infrastructure.
While we're at it... maybe provide Linux (Ubuntu?) as the default operating system? If we're feeling really lucky we might do with asking them for the original Thinkpad keyboards back.
It’s about as easy to dual boot as it is to just run a popular distro. Wifi cards etc can still be a problem, regardless.
I’d rather not have anything to do with Windows, and would appreciate the gesture of a discount for the Windows license (and the money not going to MS).
I second not wanting any money going to microsoft. I'll take it a step further and say I don't want any microsoft code, branding, stickers, or keys at all no matter how "free" they are.
just kick $10 off my price tag and I'll be happy. If you just sell me an empty shell (no disk or ram) which I'll be over charged for I'll be even happier.
Great. So someone figured out how to make a product that looks like and tastes like meat, and it likely is hydrolized soy protein with a nice mixture of artificial flavors and colors. Yeah, why not harm humans instead of animals.
I think a better approach to the problems that come with our “out of control meat consumption” is to drastically reduce meat consumption and eat it consciously. Much better than getting lost in the artificial flavors of frankenfoods .. No one really needs to eat meat more than once or twice a week.
Have you got any sources to back up your claims of deleterious effects on human health? Any at all? I will remind you that the claims of phytoestrogen interfering with human reproductive ability have not been proven, despite rigerous study.
No, nothing other than my personal experience (and of my partner) while eating a vegetarian and later exclusively vegan diet for almost 2 years. We ate a lot of fake foods, highly processed "health foods", most of them soy based and looking back at that time I can't say that we felt very good and healthy.
I believe we, as humans, do best with foods, which ingredients we can pronounce and source ourselves and put together without a lab and complicated checmical processes.
If you are ok with consuming foods of questionable "nature" because nobody could yet prove to you that they can be bad for human health, go for it. But I am going with my guts here, because that works for me.
That is probably more a case of bad nutritional choices, and not the fault of the soy products themselves. Most highly processed "health foods" are anything but. They're usually loaded with sugar.
Instead of trying to replicate an omnivorous diet by substituting all the meat you ate with substitutes, you should try branching out into an actual primarily vegetarian diet instead. Instead of substitute beef in your hamburger, try a portobello mushroom instead.
You sound like one of those paranoiacs who rail on about "chemicals in food!", without actually knowing what you're talking about.
I can assure you that the highly processed health foods I ate back then, were not loaded with sugar, because I consciously tried to eat as little sugar as necessary.
You are quick to judge, calling me a "paranoiac" that doesn not know what he's talking about, based on a handful of sentences I wrote. I studied nutrition and I have experienced my body on many different diets. What I can say for myself, is that there is one important factor, that matters way more than the food taken in.
> Instead of trying to replicate an omnivorous diet by substituting all the meat you ate with substitutes, you should try branching out into an actual primarily vegetarian diet instead. Instead of substitute beef in your hamburger, try a portobello mushroom instead.
Ehm. So you are writing this as a response to me saying, that replicating an omnivorous diet with some secret mixture which resembles real meat so closely that it is difficult to distinguish from it, might be a bad idea? Maybe should have told me 10 years ago when it mattered and not after I just said the same thing.
Haha, this is too funny. I have an iPhone 5s that I encrypted years ago with a password that I have unfortunately forgotten. Had to start from scratch with my iPhone 6s, because of this. I stopped updating the 5s, hoping that one day there will be an exploit that makes it possible to break in and pull the data. Who would have thought that instead I will be happily upgrading to iOS 11, because apple made it a feature.
I know this is bad, but for me it is awesome right now.
So I reset my forgotten password with this method and now cannot set a new password. Every time I get
> The password you entered to protect your iPhone backup could not be set. Please try again.
What happens then is: the password i set is actually active, becuse to back up i have to enter that password - but as soon as i unplug the iPhone and plug it back in, I can/have to set e new password.
I updated iTunes to the newest version, restarted the iPhone, reset the iPhone settings multiple times, but I cannot encrypt the backup anymore. Weird.
edit: (the solutions to this problem that google offers did not solve the problem)
> From our nice position 14 years later it is amazing how much power draw we had to tolerate back then.
I find it incredible how indifferent and uneducated I was back then, about how much power it uses and what the consequences are on a larger scale. I remember keeping it powerd on 24/7 (of course with periods in which it slept). Nowadays I am (hyper)aware of the power consumption of pretty much every device in the house.
I still have a G5 for some specific software, and it has amazing power management. Nothing at the time even came close. It would put itself to sleep without fuss, and wake instantly and seamlessly. It certainly used less power than my newer linux x64 box over the course of a day.
I just checked and if you include the Power Usage of the Apple Cinema Display, my machine idles at just over 180W
It's a pity, because it runs quite well - always has. I have 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 on there and favor Tiger.
I have been trying to sell it, but obviously nobody wants it. On the other hand, i still have Ableton Live 7 and Logic installed with all my plugins, GB's of Samples and loops on it and I am having a hard time letting go the ability to open my old tracks...I know I will never need to, but I think I'll always keep it for that reason.
Librem 5, the phone that focuses on security by design and privacy protection by default. Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers.
Isn't out yet and from what I can tell they haven't released much info about it yet. Maybe will be worth revisiting the idea when it's actually released.
