I used to think the same, but apparently there's a way to differentiate between curling into bash and curling into a text file.

So you could be diligent and curl into a text file, see nothing is wrong, but then when you curl into bash, it runs something different.

By restricted networks, like hospitals, workplaces, schools, etc.

If their firewalls can detect it not being typical http/s traffic, they can block it.

I can use Ghostty and use the same featureful terminal on Linux and macOS.

I also hate configuring Konsole, most KDE apps for that matter. Being able to have a plaintext configuration file I can keep in my dotfiles is way simpler.

> The design of the TPM makes much more sense for a closed-source operating system

I don't think that's the case. The great thing about TPMs is that they measure what's on your system. As long as you modify things properly, your changes get measured and stored in the TPM.

Secure Boot is the more closed-sourced way. By default it relies on Microsoft keys unless you enroll your own and sign your stuff.

GrapheneOS has repeatedly turned down this idea because it gives a wider area of attack (signed in vs in a locked state) and would be easily detectable.

And Cloud gaming only gives you a video and audio stream. Cheats cannot peek into the game to reveal information. They can only see and hear what you see and hear and control input devices.

It's improved. The scrolling used to be terribly glitchy and would make it difficult to read as text was generated.

But in the same fix, they also removed the reasoning-sample, which kinda sucked.

Are you sure? They just blogged about supporting it in Chrome with their Google developed jxl implmention in Rust.

Sufficient is objective. My hardware is certainly sufficient at decoding video without performance problems, but with with CPU decode, it takes more resources and ramps up the fans. While with GPU decoding, it's near silent.

I don't think it's performative.

They aren't saying that AI produces bad code or is terrible for the world in some way.

It's mainly just resulting in a lot of PRs that they don't have enough time to review or features they don't plan to add.

That is a good point, but not exactly what I meant.

When I was picking out that Lenovo laptop, there were dozens of different laptops just from Lenovo alone with lots of hardware variety. Then consider all the different manufacturers I could have also chosen from.

With that much hardware, it's hard to find comprehensive reviews matching the exact laptop I was looking at. And from the few reviews I did find, none of them mentioned that issue.

A model of non-Apple laptop could have serious issues, but since it's not Apple, it wouldn't have anywhere near the same media presence an Apple laptop would. With their few SKUs and popularity, the issues are visible. I did not need to follow Macs closely to know about the butterfly keyboard issues, overheating issues, etc. I wouldn't have purchased a Mac back then given those issues.

But Apple got their stuff together and fixed that. And when I was considering the M3, there were no hints of any hardware issues from the reviews I saw and discourse I read online. And thankfully that matches my experience, it's the most robust and "it just works" laptop I've used.

I had a bad experience with my Lenovo laptop. It had a firmware issue that caused the trackpad to become unresponsive after suspend and Lenovo never fixed it.

Made the laptop miserable to use, so I went for a MacBook instead which wouldn't have such an obvious issue be unfixed because Apple has so few SKUs to support.

Also went for it in part because I do not like Windows and macOS typically would save me when Linux support was lacking. Just had to hope for a quick port of Asahi Linux to become (unfortunately didn't happen for my M3, but thankfully it's been progressing recently).

It's annoying because on Plus, you used to get the latest models. Then for unspecified reasons and without announcement, you just stopped getting new Flash models.

That's strange since as Plus, you still get access to latest Pro (albeit 3.1) but not the latest Flash.

I would understand if I Plus subscribers still got access to 3.7/3.8 Flash, but it just burned through the usage limits faster.
