Re:ACE: Apple Type-C Port Controller Secrets

My brand new M1 Mackbook Pro has only one working port. I didn't notice it until I tried to save something to a USB drive. Neither charging nor USB works on that port. Talking to Apple tomorrow. Hopefully still under warranty.

Google should be broken up like the US did with AT&T. I suspect a Biden administration will interfere with this process and save them from being broken up.

Just as Japan is about to dump a million ton (or more?) of radioactive water (from Fukushima) into the ocean.

Sorry for the very late reply. Contrary to the other response which I find baffling, it’s not a WebGL2 vs WebGL1 issue. Safari 14 on Catalina was able to render 4 out of the 6 shader demos on the Shadertoy homepage on a MacBook Pro 16 2020 with AMD Radeon 5600. Chrome was able to render all. Obviously, if it was a case of WebGL version support either all would run or none would run depending on the supported version. That comment really made no sense.
Anyway, I had to return the MBP 16 as I wasn’t happy with it’s performance when the browser has to deal with multiple GPU contexts. I’m waiting for an M1 laptop and it won’t arrive till next month.
My old MBP 15 does not have Catalina so it doesn’t have the latest Safari.
Hope that helps.

Is WebGPU part of Servo? I know the guys at Mozilla were developing WebGPU API in Rust. Looking to see where it's going (I assume Firefox has to use it too. Chrome already has experimental support)
Any idea?

The latest Safari breaks many of the WebGL demos on Shadertoy where Chrome has zero issues. I haven't investigated the reason but that could affect more than just games. TensorflowJS relies on WebGL backend for heavy model weight lifting (lots of puns)

I would put the date earlier, around 2007, leading up to the great recession. I'm basing that on the vibe of the city (San Francisco), and how it took a nose dive afterwards, and never recovered.
Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA

Can't I just FORK it and change the Readme and/or tests to not include references to what could be constituted as infringing acts, and purposely state that the purpose of MY FORK is to download YouTube videos that are in the public domain?
If it's been taken down I am sure it will pop up on some torrent. The authors and all those who have contributed to it have copies.
How can a court tell me not to publish generally useful software with a legitimate intent?
