Does “so-called” not mean “words that someone has told us”?

The description says it supports SSH certificate authentication, but I can’t see where to configure trusted CAs.

I think how one interprets the usage of “square pixels” here is highly dependent on what that person is most familiar with. When I saw the title, even without reading the article, I immediately knew it’s talking about PAR, since I’m already familiar with video encoding standards. It didn’t even occur to me that it could be talking about the shape of physical elements on various display technologies.

> and is a one-time payment

Well technically it's like a "subscription with indeterminate renewal cycle". Every few years they release a new major version and sometimes you have to pay to upgrade.

Of course you can choose to not upgrade... but then you don't get the new features, and it's unclear if the old version will support all newer macOS releases.

> Laws. Existing laws prevent developers from doing that.

Laws mean nothing to scammy developers trying to make a quick buck. Would you hire a lawyer to sue for a $4.99 refund? And even if you’re willing to spend that money, are you sure you can figure out who to sue? The scammy developer is likely using some shell company registered in some dodgy jurisdiction. Sure, what they’re doing is illegal, but the average consumer has no real recourse.

> you do not need to pass around authorized_keys to all hosts.

But now I need to trust these random host keys, instead of a key signed by my SSH CA...

Presumably to avoid this:

Do you really want 998 goats though? It must cost a fortune to transport them home from the studio, finding a space for them to live in, and feed them, etc.

> loser must disclose the ultimate name of the beneficial owners (or material, if public) of the loser. EINs not allowed. The "trolls" are thus, branded.

So TrollCo will just pay a different homeless person $100 to be the owner on paper for each of their patents?

Not having a patent doesn’t _prevent_ you from bringing your invention to market, it just accelerates _someone_ bringing it to market, and that’s a net good for society if the invention is useful, no?

Will FreeBSD be supported in the future?

Unfortunately the article doesn't explain how to setup a RADIUS server for EAP-TLS.

> Every other Tesla model

Except for older Model S cars, which received an update a few years ago that massively reduced supercharging speed.

Weird, I’ve had my Model S for 8 years, and it never locked up once.

Is yours a MCU1 model with problematic eMMC that has worn out?

> long grain rice

Maybe you’re not the target audience. Cooking short grain rice seems to require more care, and a high end rice cooker is the easiest way to get perfect rice.
