One of the biggest banks in the US forces staff and contractors alike to install a proprietary 2fa app on their personal devices. if you can get a company phone, you can't finish activating the MDM, to install the…
I'm not logging into twitter, to read the rest of the thread of why the EFF is leaving twitter. Here's their full statement. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/eff-leaving-x
This does beg the question. For the 14" mbp, can those stands that heatsink the chasis give enough thermal headroom to compensate for the size difference, without relying on internally thermal padding the heatpipes to…
On the networking side. M4 max does have thunderbolt 5, 80gbps advertised. Would ip over TB not allow for significantly faster interconnects when clustering Macs?
I'm curious how quickly that trend will reverse when Google fulfills their promise to lock down sideloading on android. Samsung makes nice hardware, but their bloatware is infuriating. I spend a lot of time on every new…
Absolutely not, and thanks for the warning. Sidebar was already set to off, couldn't find any options for making sure that copilot was more off. Not having ai bs baked in is a vanishingly rare feature in consumer…
The dgx spark definitely makes sense for some people, but $3k for an upgraded Jetson, with less tops than a last gen consumer 4090, does beg the question. Unless you're getting them to practice specifically on nvidia…
Are there any 3rd party, privacy respecting, voice assistants that integrate with android? Gemini is staying uninstalled, and I'm not in a hurry to switch to iPhone. If I can pay once for an on-device voice assistant to…
I've had hydraulic brakes fail on me before when a line broke in the winter, this doesn't sound significantly worse. That said, I was able to control my car with a steel cable e-brake handle when it happened, and…
Lpcamm2 rollout has been disappointing. Especially given it's potential. Maybe it's good for repairability in ultralights, but where's the 96GB module? Upgradability isn't really a factor when the upgrade path is only…
Valve expanding steamos compatibility might be the closest we're getting.Hopefully their flavour is viable for a variety of computers by windows 10 sunset date.
I don't use it anymore, but I still have my og pebble, and miss how well it did what I care about. Here's hoping we can get a color screen pebble time successor, maybe with one of the buttons upgraded to a dial + button.
As long as it's possible, never connecting the TV to the home network, setting it to auto start to last HDMI used, and using a technician remote or HDMI arc control and mainly interacting with my apple tv / gaming…
Drm free digital video purchase doesn't seem to be a thing, but buying DVDs / blu rays and ripping them to a Plex / jellyfin server has gotten pretty approachable.
Being able to use my ipad as an extra monitor is one of the main reasons I always carry it around. It might be too late for this model, but enabling the tablet to be used as a USB monitor, with all tablet functionality…
