The problem is if someone figures it out and starts sending you spam to {random}@domain.tld. That's when you will need to sit down and start creating actual aliases for all those used email addresses and stop the catch-all forwarding:)

Also, another downside is that you will loose privacy by using your own domain.

And the lack of privacy makes targeted scam/phishing more likely, and targeted scam is the one we are most susceptible to.

All in all, I am not saying this is bad idea, in fact I am doing it myself, just pointing out this is not so black and white.

Using iCloud solves those problems, but puts you at risk of getting your account banned and loosing access to those emails, so there is that.

Probably best way to deal with it is to get dedicated email domain with a bunch of your friends, and hook it up with something like SimpleLogin. But that's gets complicated quickly ;)

Not really, this only works for other emails hosted by Gmail (including Workspaces) or if you supply SMPT that will send those emails. If you use simple email forwarding from your DNS provider, you don't have SMPT server to give to gmail:/

Ouch, I did not expect my complaining would get a response from the author!

Just to be clear, I do think Ghostty is amazing piece of software and it's so fast that it's hard to believe, so thank you for the hard work.

> read Ghostty's terminfo page, but also just do some light web searching on how terminfo works. Its a total nightmare.

Oh, yea, I totally get that. I actually _did_ try to understand what the issue is, but gave up on that time-sink rabbit hole and decided I might give it another try once the xterm-ghostty is more popular.

Not to mention that every time you ssh to another server your keyboard stops working correctly.

The solution is on their website:

> infocmp -x xterm-ghostty | ssh YOUR-SERVER -- tic -x -

I mean... I could learn what it does, but no way on earth I am going to be typing something like that every time I want to ssh somewhere.

(This is somehow fixed in 1.2 but it requires additional entry in the config for whatever reason. Can't it just work?)

Have you considered the fact it could be because Apple Watch itself is closed, walled garden and Apple has full control over its security (and therefore trust in it)?

Imagine a world where they allow Pebble to go through certification process for it to get jailbroken half a year down the road opening the gateway to iMessage for all the spammers in the world. What then? Should Apple now play whac-a-moll with the spammers forever, or block the access to all Pebble watches creating another scandal? And what if this happens to next 10 different watch makers down the road?

They own Apple Watch and if it gets jailbroken its their mess to deal with, but if they open it to the world then they have zero control over it.

Free does not mean limitless. Where I live in EU its not uncommon to wait for over a year to see a doctor on „free” insurance and less than 24h when you pay out of your pocket.

People get free insurance but hospitals get fixed amounts of cash allowing them to admit fixed amount of patients

In this scenario the answer is yes, it loses some value. Still much better system than private care in US

This.

For a several years now, all new cars sold in EU must have an S.O.S. button that will call emergency services. As a result each and every car has some sort of SIM card built-in and a cellular plan that works across entire Europe.

This SIM card must be free, but its a gateway to things like upselling (pay us $XX and get a wifi in your car) and also a way for the manufacturer to have always-on connection with the car.

Some manufacturers (KIA/Hyundai, Ford, Toyota) offer complimentary free app that you can use to check car location, open/close it, turn on AC (hybrid/ev) etc. with option for more paid features.

Edit: As for the speed limit, its also Europe regulation from this year - car must know the speed limit and beep if you exceed it. Different manufacturers do it differently, but since this has been optional feature for so many years in every car, all manufacturers had this ready - and its mostly based on built-in navigation + road sign recognition. It could use cellular but since this has been feature for so long I don't think this is how it works in majority cases.

Yes, there is VirtualBuddy and Viable (not sure if this one is Open Source):

- https://github.com/insidegui/VirtualBuddy - https://eclecticlight.co/virtualisation-on-apple-silicon/

Unfortunately, its not that simple. From the car company perspective, all they want is to sell new cars and they are perfectly happy with scrapping the 8-years old EV with damaged battery.

Also, people keep talking about converting batteries to home energy storage but its not that simple to do on your own - in fact its borderline dangerous to do so on your own due to hundreds tricky mistakes you can make that will end up with fire completely burning your home. This will only make sense at industrial scale but that also means it wont be too cheap anymore (not to mention those 8-years old cars which are in good condition, just missing battery that is more expensive than new car).

Also, I do think people are scared way too much by those dying batteries. Some of them will fails, sure, but there are so many gasoline cars with engines which have like 50% failire rate between 90k-180k miles driven. That's also pretty expensive to fix where often the only choice is to buy another engine from crashed car. I assume it might be similar here - 20-30% batteries will fail soon after the 8y warranty and will be replaced by batteries from crashed cars, the rest will work just fine for 15+y

I own Mach-E EV and I am scared. It's a great car, I love it but looking at what tesla is doing to the EV market - both new and used - I can't even fantom how it will look in a few years.

Overwatch before that too.

Its surprising how on one hand a huge effort is put into World of Warcraft running smoothly on macOS (they always implement all the new Metal features with every expansion and it was the first native Apple Silicon game) but completely abandoned macOS for new titles.

Well, yes its Apple thing, and they do have systems in place to prevent this, though I'd argue they are not very user friendly for non-tech savy people.

While this is a workaround, I would not call it "straightforward" because there is no world where I can explain this to my family members :)

Straightforward would be a small text-based link at the bottom saying "skip this step"...

It's not a multi-billion company, it a bank that has billions of loans and deposits (assets and liabilities). Yes, its a profitable bank but on order of magitude lower scale:

> It also logged a pretax profit of £88 million ($106.5 million) in its last fiscal year ended December.

"huge"?

Am I missing something? I know of this limitation but I dont understand why would anyone need this. What's the goal or running Windows on Mac to run WSL on it?

Have you seen https://github.com/lima-vm/lima ?

Runs linux VMs and can run x64 via quemu or even using rosetta2 & apple virtualization framework

Starting from 0.14 lima support vz framework on macos and allows you to use rosetta2 for x64 linux binaries :)

Literally second paragraph of the article mention QEMU-based app that allows you to virtualise x64 machines on M1 - UTM:

https://mac.getutm.app/

The thing is, it only supports windows xp + windows 7, and not 8/10/11 (those are supported as arm64). Apparently the amount of work is massive (so are performance hits for the Windows XP/7 when you run it).

It's one thing to emulate apps, another entirely to emulate whole advanced OS.

It's actually exFAT thats portable. NTFS is mostly for windows users, and macs do support it - though only reading.

Not only Microsoft basically bough OpenAI a couple of years ago, they also made the GPT-3 closed thing that you can only access via API.

Don't let the name fool you, OpenAI is anything but Open.

Haven't heard about them, but its more like Heroku - not pure VMs but instead IaaS where you deploy apps using CLI and they manage/scale machines for you.

On principle, yes. There are quirks - the COP is different for lower temperatures, and becomes 1:1 at around 5F (-15C). So preheating the air could improve the effectiveness at low temperatures, and I am guessing it might look like this:

- before: 1kWh in, 1kWh out - after: 1.9kWh in, > 1.9kWh out

However, if it was that simple, I suppose heat pump manufactures would include a pre-heating as built-in feature.

It's very likely that he reduced the energy consumption of heat pump by 50%, but at the same time he uses more than those 50% for mining and has a negative total result that is being offset by the profit from mining itself. Which probably nice for him, but not really for environment :)

>iMessage seems to be a bit dishonest

Maybe I misinterpret the idea behind this list.

To me, its not listing all the things that the company knows about you, its listing all the information that app reads about you.

In other terms, this is what Apple knows when I disable the iCloud and only use iMessage. And this is what Facebook knows when I only use it though that messenger and nothing else.

That is no longer true since VirtualBox 6 (or VMware Workstation 15.5), both of which can work alongside WSL2.

That's not longer true.

Yes, WSL2 is type-1 hypervisor (which means Linux under WSL2 and windows are both VMs of sort, managed by higher level invisible "main" OS) and initially this made running VMs inside windows impossible (since technically that would be VM inside VM). But this has been fixed for months now - originally not only it was not possible to run virtualbox (or vmware, ESXi is vmware type-1 btw, dont mistake it with free vbox) but also it was not possible to run docker either.

Edit: btw. this is why it took so long for WSL2 to be released to public; they gave time to most of the VM solutions to adapt to the fact windows would be running under type-1 hypervisor.

Why would you say that?

On macOS, I can easily upgrade my nginx homebrew package, (same with httpd) each of them have like 2 dependencies and I don't think I ever had a conflict when doing so. Granted, not easy on windows, but see my comment about terminal ;-)

If it only were that simple... I'd gladly abandon Apple ecosystem long time ago.

For a lot of professional people it's mostly a matter of time vs cost. I am a developer, mostly working with ruby & python these days. What my options are? Mac, Windows and Linux.

Let's sum it down:

- Windows. Took them like 20 years to figure out how to make a working Terminal so no, really not a good candidate for people like me. I am glad they are catching up, but who knows when they will get stuck for 20 years on another important piece (not to mention their WSL is a prerequisite for a lot of work, and basically a VM)

- Linux. Good on paper but man, it's such a time sink. Dependency hell: you want to upgrade your httpd so you must upgrade 175+ other packages, one of which will break something. UI: clumsy but works if you have little expectations. Hardware: A mess, sleep never works, gfx performance is silly, at the end of the day mostly closed-source stuff that companies do not care about making it unreliable at best.

- Mac: Expensive? Kinda, yes, but not that much if you compare to similar hardware from other vendors (ie. Dell) assuming you do not compare apples to oranges (same cpu, same general performance, same form factor & quality). Does it break? Yes it does and it sucks. It shouldn't - not for that price, not for environmental reasons since they try to be so "green". Had my issues with Apple hardware more than once, but thank god they were not as serious as this.

Saying that linux is a good replacement for mac is like saying that k8s is good for everyone. Yes, you can deploy your blog on k8s but it will cost you a lot of time & energy. Same with linux - yes, I can work on linux, but its just sooo much faster and cheaper for me to just go and buy another MBP if my current one were to break. Some people (me) still like to play with k8s, others like to dig into linux stuff (not me).

What I am angry about with Apple is how they approach their failures rather than the failures themselves. I can understand mistakes that you cannot do anything about - famous iPhone 4 antena. They made tens of millions of devices that have an issue with antena in some edge conditions, well, shit happens, what can you do - it's not like they are going to replace all of them.

But MBP keyboards? Giving 4 years of free replacements is not the solution, a solution would be to create a replacement keyboard that would not break - and use that each time it gets replaced. Because 4 years old MBP is still a great machine that can do what's it supposed to very well, there is no reason to trash it.

If there were a law to force manufacturers to repair known defects (examples like that keyboard, screen laminate etc) for at least 10+ years, I would be first to vote for it. It's way to common for things to break after a couple years, things that could - and should - work for much more. And this is what I'd expect from companies like Apple, which would justify their green PR and prices bullshit.

This is a great comment - especially the the last 2 paragraphs.

Docker is not the same as containers - docker is just one way to build containers. I've not seen one yet that would be easier to use (and as as result faster than docker) but it does not mean we cannot create one!

Unless they pull a rabbit out of hat, they will not have a x86-64 emulator this time (for the same reasons why intel is struggling with speed/power efficiency ratio for years now) so it won't be that easy. It will be either ARM of Intel hardware and people will have to choose.

The ram difference is most likely because the lower-end models use 8th gen CPU, whereas the top tier uses 10th gen.

Just reading this I can see you are new to crypto.
