It hasn’t been announced properly, but The Apple Wiki admins & me grab firmware keys shortly after each major & minor release (e.g. 26.0 and 26.1) We also constantly fill the gaps in the old versions & platforms, e.g. M3 Max and A7 & S1P/S2/T1 & S3 SEP theapplewiki.com/wiki/Firmware_…


That aged badly

Still extremely bearish on this happening

Got curious how much faster Linux is than macOS for small-file access and creation. The results are shocking: curl -L cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern… -o linux.tar.xz time tar -xf linux.tar.xz Framework Desktop: 1.6s MBP M4 Pro: 12.2s Over 7x faster on these 90K files!! 🤯


Can't help but wonder about the number of years of human work that we lost because macOS can't upgrade more than one iPhone at a time.

Europeans have no idea how ridiculous their washing'n'drying situation is. Totally cooked by eco-insanity. We just got a TOP-OF-THE-LINE Miele heat-pump setup, and it's still fucking 6:20 hours to do a single wash + dry!! Would take 1.5 hours in the US on our gas/vented setup.

A year+ ago a friend spent thousands of $ on a Unitree Robotics robot that was never sent. His emails have been ignored and no refund or updates have been received. When he complained here, he's been harassed by bots. #UnitreeScamAlert #UnitreeScam #Unitree #UnitreeRobotics

What the fuck is going on in the United Kingdom? They've got advertisements unironically saying WiFi is bad for the environment. Who are these people???

Looks like on latest macOS, even with FileVault on, it is still possible to SSH into a machine and unlock it: "This system is locked. To unlock it, use a local account name and password. Once successfully unlocked, you will be able to connect normally."

Next gen Apple Silicon (A19/M5) should have MTE Internally there is a boot-arg to disable it : -disable_mte



I feel like it's only fair to share some of the thoughts I had about this: 1) I used @exodus as my wallet. It was only on my phone (iOS). 2) I never backed up the wallet anywhere 3) The passphrase was only stored offline. But here is where it gets interesting: 1) Over 50% of my…

Got some of my BTC stolen. Not sure how. Fuck this crap. Remember that when you put your life savings into this, it might as well just disappear one day without any notice.



I only used @exodus via mobile and never saved the secret phrase anywhere but on a piece of paper (which is not lost). Never had a desktop app nor shared the secrets with anyone
