Re:iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @12:23AM (#49707680)
The download on my iPhone said it’s iOS 26.7, but it definitely installed 27 (:
They’re chunky, but very flexible. There’s basically no memory effect to them either, so they don’t try to curl up on their own.
Re:Performing live migrations of VMs at scale on Thursday July 16, 2026 @02:12PM (#48938099)
Would have been nice to have an explanation on how this compares to Proxmox/vSphere live migrating VMs with nonexistent downtime not even missing a single ping

My Series 6 offers me to download the watchOS 27 developer beta, so it seems like someone messed up

It’s missing the Netflix button
Then you need to pay up via user CALs as is already common practice with windows server licensing.

"No way to prevent this" says the only country where this regularly happens
There is no way they didn’t think they could sell those spots in the future.
You don’t burn your batteries though. You build them once and then use them for 20 years. They will just keep working when the next war erupts on the other side of the planet.

Gandi is sadly not a great example anymore for this, as they raised prices quite a lot over recent years, especially for their email service.
Well, I didn’t say that they did it well
Which makes it easier to scale?
Except for their limited Robotaxi service. They have recently ditched their safety driver as well, so there is truly no one "driving" the car.
I actually posted this before watching it completely through… I was just reminded of recent discussions of EV vs ICE cars I have read here and Alec managed to put my thoughts much better into words than I could myself. After watching it through completely I just feel sad that what he needed to say out loud actually needs to be said at all as it should be obvious (coming from someone watching from the other side of the pond)
And gasoline just magically appears at the gas station? Wars over oil are being fought for decades and nothing similar has happened over Lithium yet?
On the other hand, a human can only look into one direction, while a Tesla can look into all directions at once. Also human drivers are often distracted, intoxicated, etc. An attentive driver would probably perform better, but I’d rather have all others be slightly worse on the high end of driving skill, while significantly increasing the skill of low end drivers.

There are many forms of pasta that don’t have this problem.

Re:1.5 TB of VRAM on Mac Studio – RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 on Friday December 19, 2025 @12:47AM (#46322607)
The gpu can’t access that directly however. On Apple Silicon it can all be used as vram.
Re:Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work on Friday December 19, 2025 @12:39AM (#46322562)
Fair enough. I would still personally feel uneasy about it, but I guess it’s alright if it works for others.
Re:Your job is to deliver code you have proven to work on Thursday December 18, 2025 @12:53PM (#46316096)
This approach sounds like a great way to get a lot of security holes into your code. Maybe your competitors will be faster at first, but it’s probably better to be a bit slower and not leaking all your users data.

Re:Solarpunk is already happening in Africa on Friday November 07, 2025 @07:53AM (#45845852)
Not an electrical engineer, but doesn’t the voltage combined with the bodies resistance dictate the amperage? So anything under 50VDC just can’t transmit enough amps through the body to be harmful?

In that case he could just store the emails that haven’t been compromised yet.
