You often install binaries in Linux by moving them to a directory you can call them from. Which is the same thing MacOs has you do graphically. You can do it on command line as well.

Using a Mac is much the same as Linux. Mac OS is unix and Linux is a copy of unix systems. Your just used to the windows ways that aren’t that good to start with.

There isn’t much you can’t do on Mac if you use the terminal, much like Linux. It’s much better than the convoluted mess that windows settings is.

Not to the same extent, stuff keeps changing back.

Fabric softener is just plastic. It doesn’t really work, eventually your clothes will be coated in plastic rather than soft.

If you want to keep clothes soft, don’t dry them excessively in tumble dryers. The natural fibres need to retain some water.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices ( www.theverge.com )

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

ForgotAboutDre ,

It would be inappropriate to not make it clear what messaging protocol is being used.

Most RCS chats will be going through googles servers. A user might want to know that.

Google doesn’t want you to find answers. They could improve this. They want repeated searches and more time spent on each Google page to increase eyes on their ads.

Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns” ( www.theverge.com )

Arizona's Attorney General, Kris Mayes, filed two lawsuits against Amazon on Wednesday for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and maintaining monopoly status. The first lawsuit accuses the company of using dark patterns to keep users from canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions, violating Arizona's Consumer...

It really should be fraud. It is deception used for personal gain. While I think it should be fraud, it will probably need new legislation to make it so.

They could attempt to quantify how gamed the result is and reduce its ranking. Also punishing domains with lower ranking the more they return SEO optimised pages. They could also increase the ranking of older pages.

This doesn’t really help google, it only really improves their search results. Google wants these hyper SEO optimised results with lots of advertising. Additionally, the less relevant the result is the more searches a person does. Each search is an additional set of ad impressions.

Google search is better than ever. Because it generates more advertising opportunities for google. Google isn’t in the business of returning good search results, they are in the business of displaying ads.

It lets you build one motherboard with all possible ram options.

The smallest one has all it ram soldered on. Therefore less time is required in assembling the laptops. All other patients just need the extra ram placed in the dimm slot.

Closed sources server (even open source with no verification of the code running on the server) means it's possible the server records who you talk to, when, where and the size of the messages. This can be useful to sell to advertisers.

You don't need meta data to know these things. Any server handling the traffic for the app will know these things.

Port forwarding means torrents. People using a VPN to torrent likely have much more traffic, especially those that seed (which is why they want port forwarding). Not enabling port forwarding means mullvlad can operate at a higher profit to cost ratio, and less risk.

ForgotAboutDre ,

That's what mullvlad say. It's not necessarily the reason why they don't offer port forwarding.

It was always possible for them to continue allowing port forwarding. They could use separate servers for those that want port forwarding, stopping any impact port forwarding had on those customers.

ForgotAboutDre ,

There are plenty of other options in the market, including ones with port forwarding. It's a very saturated market.

ForgotAboutDre ,

You need port forwarding to connect on torrents. Your able to torrent because everyone you torrent from has port forwarding enabled. If you want to access more seeders, and more commonly leechers you need port forwarding. This is useful for people using private trackers that want to maintain a ratio.

Kodi is a great Linux client. But that's not what OP wants, the jellyfin app is a nicer UX experience.

ForgotAboutDre ,

Yes, I understood that. There are specific OS for Kodi like libreElec, that make it easy to have support for lots of codecs etc. I don't know if any for specific to Jellyfin, but the Jellyfin App has a better UX than Kodi.

You don't need the shower running to shave.

Shampoo hair quickly, then leave conditioner in while you wash. Rinse conditioner at the end.

If you need to detangle hair use a wide comb, to to it faster. If it still takes too long, soak hair add a little conditioner then turn off the shower to detangle.

Lots of lighthouses don't operate anymore. Ships crashing into thing in the night was a big problem before GPS.

There are other navigation methods, radio towers etc. But GPS is a reliable works everywhere system, outside of malicious actors.

It's just a big antenna. If you can broadcast a large signal on all the same frequencies you can drown out the other signals. It takes lots of power. More targeted approaches can make it more efficient, that probably where most of the money went.

Android defaults to lying about your Mac address, which can be frustrating if you want to manage your home network.

The UK never needed ID, there was no evidence of voter fraud happening at polling stations. So voter ID was introduced.

There has been evidence of voter fraud happening via postal votes where no id is required.

The UK doesn't have any government ID, only ID by proxy like drivers license and passport. So poorer people and the elderly are less likely to have photo id. Only one group got an exception - the one that voted conservative.

The previous Scottish conservative leader committed electoral crimes live on TV. There was no consequences. But know people are further disincentivesed to vote, despite very little evidence of people fraudulent casting votes claiming to be someone else.

Not necessarily disloyal. But different loyalties.

Microsoft makes software used by governments all over the world. Any government that want to gather intelligence or blackmail another government could do it through inserted exploits in Microsoft's code. The US could go straight to Microsoft to this in an official capacity. Other nations would influence the individuals working on the project to do it covertly. If your country asked you to do this, they are likely able to convince you it's in the national interest and you would be harming your country if you didn't.

It's not that they wouldn't be loyal, it's who they would be loyal to.

Timber merchants in the UK. The ones that don't list prices are cheaper. Largely because they base their prices on the current price of wood. Those that advertised prices need a higher margin to tolerate fluctuations in the price of wood.

I think this would need new legislation that would push software regulations further than they've been before.

Apple can allow apps to be installed outside their app store. The fee they are charging is likely related to accessing their APIs and tools for developing iOS apps. Apple would have to be forced to make these free.

Currently you could considerably make an iOS app without apple's tools and APIs. But it would require significant effort to develope/reverse engineer these tools to make the app. Effort that is outside of the scope of most modern app development.

To force apple to make the APIs and tools open would likely require additional legislation. Saying not only must the device allow third party distribution of apps, but apple must support these activities for free. This is significantly different from making apple allow third party apps. It puts on them a real cost (not potential loss like allowing third party app stores).

This isn't a problem for other systems because they actively invite people to develop and distribute their software for their system. But it would have implications for game consoles. Sony, MS and Nintendo would have to allow any potential developer access to their tools for free with little obligation.

Android replaced most of the OS that people would consider Linux normally. They only kept the kernal. The kerbal is Linux, but when people talk about Linux OS they usually mean Linux/GNU.

It's taking a post modern architecture concept and applying it to just what the home owner can reasonably change.

The idea is that the building shouldn't hide or obscure what the materials it is made from. You'll see it in buildings with deliberate exposed pipes, exposed concrete, unfinished wood.

It's about honesty and function.

The problem is to make this work they needed to go further or not so far. A polished concrete countertop, industrial tiles and industrial appliances could make this work better. Or using plywood rather than OBS.

ForgotAboutDre ,

It could have been milled on a CNC. That might make it cheaper to build without a carpenter, if you already have access to the CNC.

ForgotAboutDre ,

OBS looks more 'real'. Cabinets are usually made of MDF or OBS in the UK. MDF has great dimensional stability but it is prone to swelling in humid environments, so it would have a veneer or coat of paint in a kitchen.

Plywood is also much more expensive in the UK relative to OBS. I know OBS is made in the UK, plywood is more likely to be imported.

You also lose the trademarks you don't defend. If Nintendo was found to knowingly not pursue those that infringe in their trademarks then they a court could allow someone else to use that trademark.

It's supposed to be an air superiority aircraft not an interceptor. I think you've confused the two. Inceptors are defensive, air superiority are aggressive.

Their role is to take control of new areas, in this role they've been taken out by Ukraine's air defence. Which defends against aggressive aircraft.

We don't have the legal framework for this type of thing. So people are going to disagree with how using training data for a commercial AI product should work.

I imagine Steven King would argue they didn't have licenses or permission to use his books to train their AI. So he should be compensated or the AI deleted/retrained. He would argue buying a copy of the book only lets it be used for humans to read. Similar to buying a CD doesn't allow you to put that song in your advert.
