  • That is a large part of coding

  • The malicious code wasn’t in the source code people typically read (the GitHub repo) but was in the code people typically build for official releases (the tarball). It was also hidden in files that are supposed to be used for testing, which get run as part of the official building process.

  • Transparent

  • Technomancer

  • Misleading graph trying to make a 150% increase look like a 1000% increase.

  • It’s not a win. Apple is still requiring apps to undergo app review and even more exorbitant fees than distributing through the App Store. Apple is doing their best to comply to the letter but not the spirit of the EU ruling.

  • Software isn’t reliable because older software typically doesn’t run on newer machines. This is mostly due to changes in libraries that software relies on, but sometimes can also be do changes in the actual architecture of the CPU.

  • These aren’t rare in the sense that everybody has one they keep as a collectible. If I went down to 7/11 and tried to buy something with it they’d give me a funny look.

  • Even if HDMI manages the same framerate it will still have a higher latency.

  • DisplayPort is designed to give your GPU a fast connection to your display. HDMI is designed to give the copyright holder of the video you are watching a DRM protected connection to your display to make piracy harder.

    This is why DisplayPort is better for the consumer but HDMI is more popular because the device manufacturers are really in charge of what you get.

  • Missed opportunity to make the histogram Jean-textured

  • Whichever order you install the OSes in, they will all fight over who gets to boot first. Multiple installs of Ubuntu will even fight with each other. It’s manageable, but annoying.

  • 1% of the headsets are returned. 30% of those returns (0.3% of the overall headsets) are because the user couldn’t figure it out.

    This is clickbait.

  • The AI can have access to a terminal in a docker container on my raspberry pi. If I’m convinced it’s trustworthy it might move up to a docker container on my desktop.

  • I’ve done this sort of thing before but the fundamental problem is people typically don’t just let you boot your OS on their machine.

  • Good thing I have just as many silica packets lying around as I do rice…

  • I love the pressure sensitive trackpad but my mom always complains when the force-click pop up appears when she tries to click normally but presses too hard. I’m pretty sure most users don’t take advantage of it.

    A related feature was pressure sensitivity in their phones, which the removed because most users weren’t using it.

  • That’s how they beat competition: by innovating in small-ways.

    They didn’t make the first Laptop, but they innovate in ways like high-quality display and trackpad, and having a touch-bar.

    They don’t always do it well. Touch-bar and pressure-sensitive trackpad have been hit-or-miss features.

    AirPods weren’t the first Bluetooth earphones, but Apple managed to make them wildly popular.

    Vision Pro is … honestly I’m not sure where they’re going with it. I think the most similar competing product is the Facebook/Meta/Oculus “Quest”, but that focuses on running games while the Apple Vision emphasizes anything but games.
