I’m hoping the Mini isn’t discontinued, just that they are skipping a few gens. I have a 13 Mini. Given my normal pace of buying, I’ll be in the market for a 20 Mini.

Don;t mention Minecraft. You implemented and adminstered a MYSQL database system which supported N concurrent users and Y transactions per minute with 99.xxx uptime over Z years, you also developed a custom front-end etc etc

Render distance would be reduced requiring us to come up with plausible theories to account for the fact that there is a limit to the size of the so-called ‘observable universe’

Not paywalled for me perhaps it wasn’t for OP.

That failure example puts something in my hind-brain into fight-or-flight mode - mainly flight.

Saying ‘corporations are going to do what they want regardless, there’s no point wore about it’, is a very useful counsel of despair for them.

Is this one of the services that you supply absolutely all your personal details to, to keep your personal details private?

I really don’t see that. You’ve got 3 million users who are happy using the platform- if it were me I certainly wouldn’t turn on federation for them without asking.

I’d probably have a process that initially

1. Make federation opt-in for existing users
2. Make federation an opt-in during onboarding of new users
3. Start promoting Turing federation on for existing users
4. Make federation the default for new users

Seems like a reasonable way to soft-launch federation to me.

Hmmmm, Lord Haw-Haw anyone?

It’s intrinsically designed to be wasteful of energy. A foundational requirement is ‘proof of waste’

It’s one of those names, which I suspect seemed like a good idea in the pub at the time and which they should have jettisoned as soon as they sobered up.

Pretty difficult to do a combined article the day before the second article came out. The first article is a straight report of a report. I probably would have tweaked the headline a bit and included information about the organisation producing the report - how accurate its previous reports had tended to be, any political leaning etc. but it’s not terrible

So - which of these two stories would you have liked them not to report?

I mean, Apple already gives you the option to collect this type of data using Apple Watch and iPhone - if you want it to. One of the most interesting is gait analysis that can warn you if you are getting a bit wobbly and have increased risk of falling. The already do facial scanning for FaceID (held on-device in the Secure Enclave) and offers the ability to scan the shape of your ears to get the best from it’s Atmos audio when wearing headphones. There’s never been any suggestion that Apple exfiltrates this stuff for any purpose other than those selected by the user.

Feels like there needs to be a larger central zone for the pedal where the car just maintains speed

Presumably because the court didn’t express an opinion on whether a genocide is occurring in its interim ruling. The court found that it had jurisdiction to investigate and told Israel to prevent genocidal actions and allow aid, in the interim

I have smart radiator valves I use to reduce heating cost. During weekdays the morning when the heating comes on, I know the main living room isn’t going to be used, so the rads turn themselves off, coming on late afternoon, just before the kids get home.

Smart bulbs are only really used while we are away on holiday, to simulate people being in.

I have solar panels, batteries and am on sn agile electricity tariff that changes every 30 minutes with 24 notice. Automations make sure the batteries are charged up ahead of any peak rate. Occasionally energy prices go negative if there is an excess of wind power on the grid. At that point my immersion heater starts heating water in my hot water tank, saving gas and making me money.

PIN number is pretty ubiquitous
