But that doesn't explain where the dumps are coming from.

> What further complicates matters is that Chen details how the kernel dumps created after pressing the power button for 8 seconds do, in fact, get sent to Microsoft once the computer turns on again. In fact, he is one of the people who gets to see these dumps and respond to them, so obviously they are indeed rolling in.

Appropriately for halloween, this seems somewhat spooky.

Yes, the article mentions this:

I think you're seriously underestimating how expensive software decoding AV1 is!

I'm not even entirely sure whether a NUC could decode 4K AV1 in software in real-time.

> but I guess because no one at Apple was willing to maintain it and it apparently is a frozen API that doesn't support newer than TLS 1.2 (!)

Well yeah, so not really curl's fault here.

More importantly, IIRC Apple's curl actually stopped using SecureTransport before upstream dropped it.

> CLI tools are not to be feared or considered somehow hacky.

I agree, you're on a *nix OS, calling a CLI tool should be a perfectly valid way to do something.

IMO the real issue is that Apple's built-in CLI tools aren't properly integrated with the rest of the system. Apple's curl used to use the same certificate store as the rest of the OS, then Apple changed it.

No. But I'd certainly put in the cost of a router.

I don't think the limit changed per se, but Opus 5.5 consumes a lot less usage than 5.0 did, so it goes further.

> PDFs are executables, that's why it's hard. They support running code

I don't think Apple's PDF renderer supports e.g. running JS, you'd need real Acrobat for that. Or are you talking about something else?

> they support decoding images which themselves have their own custom compressors that are also basically code themselves.

But this is fundamentally true for anything that displays images, right? Or are the PDF formats particularly bad for some reason?

Is this not your work? If you didn't make it, you should email [email protected] so the mods can remove Show HN from the title. This is a great submission, just not a Show HN.

One thing that occurs to me is this project is a way to get a fully jailbroken iOS. You can tweak the kernel and go nuts. Can't do that on an iPhone.

Apple's own design guidelines originally said not to do the thing they did (and which they are now once again saying not to do).

Couldn't Apple have just, like, talked to the people who originally wrote the guidelines? Why do they need to re-invent the wheel? Will Apple forget again in another 15 years and need to re-run the experiment, taking us all along as test subjects?

I can see how peas might solve the first and last problems on your list, but wouldn't the others remain?
