Every MacBook Pro I've owned in the last decade ends up with a keyboard-shaped outline of finger oils on the screen from the lack of clearance between the screen and keyboard when closed, so I guess they're just leaning into that now.

If Samsung is limited in the number of wafers they can process per month and they use more of those to produce HBM they necessarily have less of them left to make other products, like consumer DRAM.

I also have a firstname.lastname@gmail address from many years ago and quite often get emails for about five different people (based on the real-world location info in them). It seems that most of these are really sent to firsnamelastnamenumbers@gmail and somehow the number(s) get truncated by the sender, leading to firstnamelastname@gmail which then gets routed to me.

This bit me too. If I wanted a mouse-driven app, I'd use the GUI. I don't understand why they're trying to replicate that experience in a text environment.

I had this happen at the Shenzhen airport a few weeks ago. They confiscated my Apple MagSafe battery because it didn't have the CCC mark. From the looks of it, they were confiscating a lot of them.

It was a missed opportunity for someone to not have opened an approved power bank store just past security.

If that's the case, it's surprising they keep pushing Shorts so hard on the Apple TV app, because watching vertical Shorts videos on a TV is a uniquely terrible experience.

I thought I was the only one with this problem.

I can still remember how to play the original Doom after all these years (and where all the secrets are!) but the modern editions have so many controls and weapon modes that if I don't play it for a month I don't remember how anything works.

I think that's referring to the NT "Shell Update Release" which was an early beta of the Windows 95-style start menu that you could install on Windows NT 3.51.

If you use a wildcard cert, then only "*.domain.net" is recorded in the logs, not the actual hostnames you're using.

Not just credentials - account balances, account numbers, etc. There's a big difference between your browser history recording that you opened your bank or healthcare provider's web site and Recall recording everything that appeared on the screen while you did.

People might use Incognito mode to browse porn, but I imagine it's a lot less common when looking at other sensitive sites.
