Wait, it is decentralized but can be frozen ?

No. You just can't use these platforms. But a knowledgeable hacker will be able to add a transaction tot he blockchain.

You can do this in IPv6

Totally agreed.

With the difference that Apple has got a near monopoly on tablets.

I don't like touch screens, they are a counter-pattern for a laptop. Yet I don't mind people liking it and using it. But I am in fear that the UI will get impacted also for non-users.

only the M1 Max can't do nested virtualization (needs M3+)

Exactly on the same boat: I don't see a big improvement until I can run a decent LLM on my machine. But I'll wait for it to reach the $2500 price tag.

Until then, then M1 Pro will be fine for my usage, which is already more advanced than most.

My ideal scenario:

- 2027 the AI bubble bursts

- 2028 new memory factories reach the production stage and fail to meet demand, so we have a glut of memory and rock-bottom prices.

Because they already employ thousands of programmers that the AI cannot replace. Don't believe the marketing hype about AGI, we are extremely far from it.

There is a setting on Macs to allow the laptop to wake-up sporadically to update opened apps during sleep. You can totally disable that.

Not only ASUS: the brand-new Lenovo Thinkbook that my IT department got me is having a similar issue: after sleep, no more keyboard. Even an external one fails to generate keystrokes. You are left with the virtual keyboard or Teamviewer.

As a Mac user, I thought this could not exist. I mean, it is 2026 and a PC still does not have a decent collection of keyboard drivers.

Why not use std::variant instead of an enum and a collection of ifs ?

@ggnore7452 this is your boss.

Have you used the company's tokens to do this?

Where is the customer's software feature we promised?

(just kidding of course. Thx for doing this and thx to whomever paid for the tokens)

Likewise, Apple does not give Withings access to Apple Health's data, even with user permission.

So, I can understand why Withings does not want to be the one doing the hard work of data collection, while Apple is preparing its own subscription for Health services.

But you at least had to provide an email and a means of payment.

The thing with eSIMs is that they are bound to an operator, which is supposed to keep record of who is using them. Law enforcement authorities should be able to get to the guys doing this...

... unless they are tied to a government.

Wait until you see the price of the accessories...

The entry ticket is cheap, then you'll probably pay to extend your system.

HomeView does two things:

- a Home Hub to connect and drive the accessories and Airplay devices in your house

- a UI to support the user experience

I believe that e.g. an AppleTV is already a Home Hub, and the Home app on your iPhone / iPad gives you control over it.

So the value is in the integration and the multi-user support.
