Another setting that surprised me with being turned on by default apparently on macOS 15 is System Settings - Spotlight - "Help Apple Improve Search": "Help improve Search by allowing Apple to store your Safari, Siri, Spotlight, Lookup, and #images search queries. The information collected is stored in a way that does not identify you and is used to improve search results."

In firefox, you can get this by navigating to about:translations

You just have to allow more than 75% memory to be allocated to the GPU by running sudo sysctl -w iogpu.wired_limit_mb=30720 (for a 30 GB limit in this case).

There's Frets on Fire: http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/

Ext4 has no snapshot feature, do you mean with lvm?

Maybe add that it's a "zero-click, wormable, cross-platform remote code execution in Microsoft Teams" :)

I remember this indeed being a thing in the news at the start of the Snowden leaks press coverage. Journos saw Google etc. logos in the NSA slides and thought they were on board rather than being tapped.

No need for an app even, I read that (some?) german emergency call centers use a service that will send the caller a text with a link to a website that will then use the browser's geolocation API.

Sorry, I was wrong about the courts, but at first it is not even handled by a court or prosecutor at all, only by the administration. If the potential fine is not accepted it then indeed goes to criminal court.

This is at least wrong in Germany, they are handled by different courts, will not show up on criminal record etc., it's more like a civil case, but with the government. Though of course you could park your car so horribly that it might get to be one, there's criminal neglect.

Everybody should be ignoring this "test" by someone who obviously has no idea what conftest is or does :)

If you did the normal monthly patches for your 8.1, you should be safe, no need to download the ones for 8.0.

Not all home routers are allowing this by default. I don't have any hard numbers to offer, but my feeling is that only very old and today's very crappy ones do.

Not sure what sysstat on Tenex did, but you can still use ^T on the BSDs and Mac OS X to get the wait channel and some additional stats.

Have not tried this myself, but it seems like FreeBSD does: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11226386

I'm pretty certain they could sue for damages in that case, though I have never heard of this happening. I have heard of people playing the "I'm ill-card" in such cases, though.

ezjail-admin update -i has always worked for me, binary upgrades should work as well. What "design" are you thinking of here?

(1) I have never heard of this behavior, correctable errors will be reported via MCA on Intel and uncorrectable ones will reset the system (and probably be logged in some firmware log).

(2) So as far is I know, the normal consequence of a detected multi bit error will be a system reset.
