Re:MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @01:36PM (#50277558)
Seems like this is essentially a 400$ upgrade for the M6 Pro MacBook Pro. Those 400$ get you better sound, a better display and touch.

This is clearly targeted at creatives, the touchscreen feels more like a nice bonus they give out so people can experiment with touchscreen macOS and polish their apps for it - my guess is that this is preparation for a more convenient touch-based macOS device they're going to launch in a year or so.

It's been planned for years...
The cybersecurity and bioweapons filters reach so far that they set in as soon as the model even glazes anything STEM-related. It might give a good impression of ones ex or write a decent fanfiction but anything that could bring humanity forward is strictly off-limits.

yup that's what the Apple Watch double tap gesture does. On the hand wearing the watch you tap your thumb and index finger together 2 times in quick succession and the watch recognizes that unique motion pattern on your arm and does [something].
Re:New Pebble Device on Tuesday December 09, 2025 @10:34AM (#46206051)
Couldn't the same flow be achieved on a Pebble watch by utilizing something like the "double tap"-gesture Apple Watches Series 9 and upwards have?

This seems like a gadget just for the sake of having another gadget...

No one is going to the trouble of getting their target to GDPR-request their private DMs as well. This misses the point of the blogpost.

Anyone can easily circumvent this by using asymmetric cryptography to encrypt their messages.

The obvious solution to this are harder sentences so you can imprison more people that are capable of this kind of work

huh that loads for me. appears to require some javascript tho.

please note that no subscription != no cloud. of the features listed in the help page all but "tags" require an remarkable cloud account and may stop working if remarkable cloud ever shuts down.

not exactly what you asked for but there's a community project you can selfhost[1] that emulates the cloud on your own server

cool, thanks man

The Germans in this article all appear to be aligned to either BSW (populist far-left, pro-Russia, anti-US) or AfD (populist far-right, pro-Russia). BSW wasn't even elected into the parliament and AfD, while being part of the parliament, has virtually no power due to not being part of the government coalition and all other parties sharing an informal agreement to not pass legislations with the help of AfD.

What I'm trying to say is that these two do not represent the German political landscape at all. They also, while on different ends of the left-right-spectrum, both only represent the pro-Russian minority of the German political landscape. This is not a debate happening in Germany right now and no other party has expressed support of any position.

It's probably more of a licensing fee thing, just editing the SKU in the deviceinfo partition of a global Pixel suffices to enable Osaifu Keitai. It's the same hardware everywhere, only licensing restrictions.

This seems like something you could fix by reminding them that the DMA exists (if your app is available in the EU)

I think this ideas problem might be the people part, specifically the majority type of people that will click absolutely anything for a free iPad
only until someone finds a zeroday in headscale (remember, it never got audited) or until the server running headscale itself gets compromised. Especially in countries where getting a dedicated public IPv4+IPv6 from your ISP is hard-impossible and you‘d have to rely on a server hosted externally (unless you’re large enough to make deals with the ISP) some company hosting your server still retains at minimum physical control over your headscale infra. For why this is a problem, see the recent Oracle cloud breach.
Every few months I come back to this repo to check if they finally got Tailnet lock running or if someone security audited them in the meanwhile. Unfortunately neither of these things seem to make any progress and thus, I’ve grown uncertain in how much I can trust this as a core part of my infrastructure.

The entire premise of Tailscale SaaS builds on creating tunnels around your firewalls, then enabling the user to police what is allowed to be routed through these tunnels in a intuitive and unified way.

Headscale seems to have nailed down the part of bypassing the firewall and doing fancy NAT-traversal, but can they also fulfill the second part by providing enough of their own security to make up for anything they just bypassed, or will they descend to just being a tool for exposing anything to the internet to fuck around with your local network admin? To me, not giving your Tailscale implementation any way for the user to understand or veto what the control server is instructing the clients to do while also not auditing your servers code at all sure seems daring…

Welp it appears from what I could find on their website that the Pro tier is needed to use all features even for selfhosted instances.

Am I missing something here or couldn’t people just fork this and pull off a vaultwarden?

> It is odd however that the U.S. government escalates in Ukraine, there is a new color revolution in Georgia (the country adjacent to Russia), the Syrian rebels launch a major attack and now this. All of this "coincidentally" makes Trump's peace efforts more difficult.

Escalating in Ukraine (against Russia), launching a major attack against Assad (a Russian ally) and an upcoming revolution against an (allegedly) pro-Russian government in Georgia all seem to fit into a pattern. This SK-thing seems to divide from that pattern and I’d say it is domestic until proven otherwise. If anything, those other small stabs against Russia will aid negotiations as Russias global influence will be weakened by multiple small fires, some of which western allies can put out more easily.

This is wrong. While this clears a some keys and prevents anyone from holding the phone up your face to unlock it, it doesn’t bring the phone back into a full BFU state.

Some keys can still be read, and depending on the exploit they use a lot of data could be extracted. BFU + good passcode is always the way to go.
