This is a very US centric way of looking at this. Currently sitting in a packed subway carriage in Busan, South Korea. There are carrier WIFI APs installed in every carriage. Their network is literally built to offload people onto wifi where possible, I presume to reduce congestion on not much or very directional spectrum in the tunnels. In this case, it makes perfect sense to push people onto their wifi. Not connecting to your own networks preferentially is a pita though. Seems like a really neat solution imo
I think most Americans on here are concerned that if they're at home, and their neighbor has a carrier sponsored wifi hotspot, then their phone may prefer the neighbors hotspot to their own home network. Things like this could disrupt talking to local devices (airplay, homeassistant, etc).
I live in Japan and first noticed this "feature" when I'd lose connection as every time I'd walk past a FamilyMart convenience store (which you can find every 3 blocks or so) it would connect to "0000docomo" and then immediately lose connection as I kept walking. Although in my case, disabling auto-join works fine.
Why would they install WiFi repeaters and not just 4G/5G microcells on the trains?
I can see how it can be a very useful feature – but why not let users decide if they want to keep enjoying it, or opt out of it for whatever reason? I can think of many valid ones.
My office building‘s elevators have 5G signal, which makes much more sense as it avoids a hard handover between SSIDs/networks (or Wi-Fi and mobile data), which in turn has a much higher chance of not dropping calls.
If apple wants to add a second wifi radio to handle carrier offloading, and having it treat this second wifi radio as a cellular radio by another medium, sure.
but I should have fullllllllllllllllll fucking control over what wifi network my device connects to.
The fact it can connect to mobile data is only 10% of the device, and i don't see why connecting to a carriers mobile network should grant that carrier the ability to edit user settings like what wifi networks its allowed to connect to.
Papermill is a fantastic product. I used this in a previous role to execute customer notebooks driven by an Airflow scheduler. It was fantastic, let me inject private DB creds into the notebook so the customer didn’t have our prod db creds when they were writing them to start
Because Apple (its employees) aren't actually viewing the images, nor transmitting them. They mention somewhere that it's a low res proxy of the image, or something similar.
But wouldn't a low res image of CP be still classified as CP ? I guess the manual verification will ve done as a joint venture by apple and the authorities
By newer macbooks, its just macbooks newer than 2015. The 2015s and earlier didn't have h265 encoders in hardware, and thus don't work properly. There is a hack you can install to force sidecar to run on earlier macs, but the latency and quality is terrible, partially because h264 is harder to shove over the wire than more compressed h256
The only game rosetta is beating native on is rogue squadron 2. Since Dolphin is a JIT, this seems to be a case of where Rosetta's JIT is smarter than Dolphin's in terms of which ARM instructions are chosen when converting from the Intel instructions than Dolphin when converting from the emulated PPC instructions.
Unless you're comparison is the 8559h and not the "native" bar. I mean, the 8559h is a mid range older Intel CPU and it's hard to understate how much Intel stagnated since Sandy Bridge (and especially since Skylake).

According to the article, the AArch64 JIT isn’t as complete as the x86 one so some less common instructions are emulated, not JITed. I imagine a game that uses a lot of these is slower with the native ARM version.
Yes. It is absolutely illegal. Not sure anywhere where this would be legal. Ie. "TV or radio ads about alcohol cannot target children. They also should not be irresponsible in targeting adults." https://www.acma.gov.au/ads-alcohol-tobacco-or-therapeutic-g...
You can't, as in any developed nation I can think of, advertise alcohol to children. Take a look at the actions the industry has taken when they even put alcohol ads too close to children, or too appealing to children, ctrl-f for moon dog. https://www.abac.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ABAC-Quar...
You cannot advertise alcohol to children in Australia
Just got an iPhone 12 in Australia and I see 1100mbit downloads regularly on sub 6 5G. Maybe the network isn’t saturated yet, but that blew me away. That isn’t too far away from mm wave, and I get that inside my apartment. What is Telstra doing differently here to make it work like that? Also worth mentioning, I would consistently get 150mbit down indoors on 4g. Feel lucky to have such a fast network here. I pay ~$30/month for 80gb data
I got an iPhone 12 about a month ago in the US, and noticed my town has 5g. My town is < 1 square mile, and a population of just 600, so I fired up a speedtest and was astounded... I was getting 560kbps, at 6am, on a Saturday.
It is actually very difficult to even send iMessages at those speeds, and forget about sending a photo to someone. If I'm not on my wifi at home, my phone is almost useless as anything but a phone.
T-Mobile is in a similar boat as they have a narrow chunk of 600Mhz dedicated to 5G service, but they own a bunch of spectrum right above 2.4Ghz WiFi (usable with much more powerful radios) that should enable 1100Mbps speeds and higher, but it will take another year or two to see it widely deployed.
My sister in law has AT&T, and her boyfriend has T-Mobile. So we are a full spectrum of the American cellular network. We all get full bars of "signal" while outside, but Verizon is the only one (4g or 5g) that will actually connect to the internet to do a speedtest.
Everyone in town just chalks it up to that is the way it goes, but worse than that, we only have one internet provider in our area, and from Christmas to New Year, we had a total of 50 hours without internet.
We live in a tiny tourist town that is a 45 minute express train ride to/from NYC, and while we may be close in travel, we are very distant in our available amenities.
Effectively a coupon code issued by a customer support representative.
Apple did not actually offer the replacement program within ~600km of my home, but I managed to convince them that an Apple Authorised Service provider in my town at least do it. They agreed and gave me a CS Code valid for the the battery replacement to be done.
But it was ultimately denied because of a tiny chip in the glass on the screen.
I really liked every other aspect of this phone though.
Hyperledger fabric gets around this by storing a copy of the data up to the last block in some other db, like couchDB. That way, you get (supposedly) the best of both worlds
