The bug that led to network connection issues after 49 days of uninterrupted uptime was a bit of a showstopper for me.

Unfortunately, that video does not explain anything at all. I now know that the product can be used with a mouse, that I can select things and set some properties. Who is it for? What does it do? Why should I use it?

I recommend you don't rely on it; while it may be news, it's rarely truths.

I've posted about this a few years ago, but there was barely any response.
In my opinion, this insecurity by default is reason enough not to recommend Firefox.

Why would you prefer an external power brick?
The internal power supplies in Mac minis have been extremely reliable and the fewer cables the better, in my opinion.
Re:Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
on Tuesday September 17, 2024 @10:11AM (#41567763)
I was wondering the same thing.
There might be other explanations than a cyberattack though. The pagers could have been prepared in some way before distribution.
From the videos, it looks like the explosions were quite sudden and remarkably violent for such a small device.
So in addition to people-hunting FPV drones, we now have the equivalent of exploding collars from science fiction movies like Running Man. I don't like where we're heading, but it was probably inevitable that technology would be used this way.

Editorialized title. The article says that Russia is increasing arms production, aiming to double their military power. With that, an attack on NATO can _not be ruled out completely_.

The article says "-22" but does not specify if that's °C or °F. When (incorrectly) assuming that Canada is using the Farenheit scale like the U.S., this would convert to -30°C.

macOS Ventura and newer actually have basic OCR functionality integrated into the Image Capture UI. When using an AirPrint-compatible scanner and scanning to PDF, the checkbox "OCR" is shown in the right pane.

May be this pump/issue:

However, the document states that "there is no defect identified in relation to the use of this product", which would contradict the Twitter post, so maybe it's a different product or either the poster or the document is wrong.

Re:M3 Macs: there's more to performance than counting cores
on Friday November 03, 2023 @09:53AM (#38128780)
For a while now, the lifespan of Apple devices has mostly been limited by Apple stopping to provide software updates. Most Macs from 20 years ago still work fine today. If some component died, it was usually the hard drive or the power supply in my experience.
Apple Silicon will definitely be the architecture best supported by Apple for the foreseeable future. There is no downside to it in terms or reliability or longevity.
Re:How async/await works internally in Swift
on Friday September 29, 2023 @03:54AM (#37700589)
Do you happen to have some links to information about the issues you mentioned?
Swift async/await has worked excellently for me so far. The biggest issue is that most libraries aren't updated to use it (and sometimes couldn't be, because they require Custom Actor Executors, which weren't available until Swift 5.9).
I found the following video helpful to better understand Swift async/await: "Swift concurrency: Behind the scenes" https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10254
