  • The first option is unlikely, Apple said no but the UK were probably already speaking to their Five Eyes pals in the US. I don't think they ever expected Apple to relent and it was all just a gambit in the larger picture.

    The second option, by far the most likely in my opinion.

    The third option, the US doesn't need Apple to cooperate so this also seems unlikely.

    Remember, any individual or group of people can be subject to secret gag orders around US intelligence capabilities. Tim Cook can say whatever he says, but you can't believe a word of it as a result.

  • Why would the UK do that? My money's on a new deal to get access through US intelligence agencies instead of directly through Apple.

  • Sarcastically saying "Imagine X" only works if it's not actually difficult to imagine.

  • They put forward legislation to ban trade with the occupied territories. In response, they got threatened with crippling economic action by their largest trading partner, the United States. A smear campaign in the US is also ongoing. In spite of that, the legislation is still moving forwards.

  • Literally the most anti-zionist country in Europe, but ok.

  • Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?

    Jump

  • As an engineer, yes. I managed to get a pilot program off the ground at my last company. As a recently public company with a lot of IT debt, the biggest challenge was around making those devices compliant with security and IT processes, and easy for IT to provision and monitor.

    It helped that I made an effort to build good connections into IT and IT leadership. The clincher was a clear proposed timeline, a commitment that it would not require any additional workload from IT, and that we wouldn't expand it without their sign off.

    Unfortunately, layoffs meant I couldn't roll it out beyond the initial group, and when a second round of layoffs came around I took the opportunity to leave. I haven't been looking much yet, but "allows Linux" is one of the criteria I'm measuring companies against.

  • 1000-kilometer battery: Mercedes tests solid-state battery on British roads

  • I think it's only a matter of time. Figuring out Lithium batteries produced a similar efficiency gain vs lead acid.

    I'm not saying the time is right now, fingers crossed though. And it would finally kill the hydrogen fuel nonsense.

  • Ah yes, TailOS, my favourite distro

    Jump

  • The TailsOS typo is a weird one to fixate on when TempleOS isn't Linux at all.

  • With the "everything is an Xbox" mantra, there's no reason to have a capable PC and an Xbox anymore. I don't mind waiting for PS games on my PC either, leaving only Nintendo still having some appeal.

  • In my car's case even when wired the audio runs over Bluetooth, that might be part of your problem? Also remember that USB cables can vary a lot in quality, I would try a cable you know to be reliable and see if that helps.

  • Hashtags used to be placed inline due to character limits. That's much less of an issue now, and many people place useful tags below their post to make their content easier to read while also remaining more discoverable.

  • How is it a "native containerization stack" if they run in VMs. What do they think native means?
