I've got that in place and still get the Tahoe popups, so there's some other mechanism here.
Re:Fighting games use delay-based and rollback netcode on Sunday January 22, 2023 @11:08AM (#34478722)
Is there any good template/library for modern multiplayer netcode for Unreal or Unity or anything else, or is it truly everybody rolls their own as the secret sauce in their AAA games?
No, they forced iOS16 by only backporting security fixes for devices that can't run iOS16

"It’s not bad at all!! We have 6 separate central a/c units and 8 separate central heating units. We can pick & choose what parts of the building to heat/cool and to varying temperatures. Our highest gas bill this past winter was $330 and that included almost an entire month of subzero temperatures. The building is incredibly well insulated."

Re:Chrome 64 Out – Spectre Mitigations Not Visible on Wednesday January 24, 2018 @04:18PM (#16226411)
I forgot to test Chrome 63 with https://xlab.tencent.com/special/spectre/spectre_check.html but 64 says Not Vulnerable. Anybody got 63 and want to check?
Correct - snow leopard to sierra would be the goal.
I so wish Apple had not removed the older Sierra installer from the Mac AppStore... I need to update some machines but High Sierra does not seem ready for reliable use yet.
Re:Showtime websites secretly mined user CPU for cryptocurrency on Wednesday September 27, 2017 @09:12AM (#15347419)
What if there was a spec that web browsers could submit small amounts of mining work as a micropayment system for web content? (amount determined by content provider per-page or per-session or some other better granularity, only sent if user approves)

Browsers could pre-mine/cache some amount of work so that page load times would be relatively unaffected.

Browsers could ask about payment similar to pages requesting location (yes/no/always/never) so future payments are automatically applied or denied.

Thoughts?

What's your citizenship though? US citizen or did you switch to Panamanian?

I think that may have been Chris Hardwick's inflection point for going mainstream. At least that's when I first heard about him...
