How exactly will Apple know she no longer has an iPhone if she does not deregister?


How your computer know there is no longer a neighbour with an IP address X.X.X.X at MM:MM:MM:MM:MM:MM MAC address? Timeout


What's awful about this exactly?


> effort uses facial recognition technology to scan a consumer’s face, with the degree of hangover detected corresponding with the size of the recommended combo and discount offered.

facial recognition isnt taken lightly, users know their facial data is being used for other things


Exploiting people feeling sick to sell them low quality food.


Incentivising people to drink to the point of hangover (ie overconsumption)


How smart were those 9 million people? Given that most of them live in zones where they couldn't apply even the simplest agriculture techniques, I would say not much.


What is your argument here relating to the original argument?


>Not saying that the law isn’t an ass

The ass here is the person who is disabling phones that don't belong to him.


Shouldn’t everyone’s parents have already had their kids phones in school mode? Who would have been on their phone in the first place to notice it was off?

Pretty interesting they are referring to everyone whose photo turned off as victims. Wouldn’t they also be violators of school phone policy?


What is school mode? I've never heard of this.

Every country / locale has different school phone policies. Even breaking the rules why would they not be labeled as victims of a crime? Someone who was pranked would usually be labeled as a "victim of the prank".

FYI, I don't think this is some major crime that deserves jail time or serious consequences but it's still a crime.


>Also a lobbyist for nuclear weapons and the military industrial complex.

People will post stuff like this and then act surprised when others are put off.


I only use Windows because it lets me run x86 binaries. If that's not the case any more why would I use Windows?


What makes you think Windows is dropping support for x86 binaries?


Because instruction set emulation is generally pretty slow.


I haven’t done any objective tests but I frequently run Windows 11 on ARM via Parallels on macOS and - it’s kinda insane (subjectively) how fast it is. Emulated x86 code is pretty fast there as well - I can easily get a solid 60 FPS on some x86 steam games as well.


60 FPS for some steam games, very nice. Now lets see how fast an x86 electron app runs.


I used Discord in Rosetta 2 for a while before there was a proper aarch64 build, it was fine.


Isn't the point of electron to be cross platform? (I get a company may have not released an ARM build or wherever, but seems an odd choice for emulated performance comparison)


Yes, the idea is that it runs equally slow with massive RAM useage independent of platform.


It works surprisingly well for x86 electron apps. It's kind of amazing how fast and bug free it is, in general.


Some steam games? What steam games? Cyberpunk 2077? Starfield?


GTA V (admittedly not a very modern title anymore) is very playable on Apple Silicon systems, you can find plenty of demo footage on youtube.


I don’t have a good list of which games I validated in parallels and which I didn’t (since I’ve stopped gaming for the last 6 months or so).

And I do heavily play boomer shooters so it’s likely I was impressed by performance of less demanding games.

Doom Eternal is one AAA game I definitely would want to play in Parallels but can’t because the Vulkan version is not new enough. I’m confident though that Microsoft could bring these APIs up-to-date on an “ARM PC” though, if it has capable 3D hardware.


It's slower than native, but that hardly seems like a reason for Windows to remove their emulation features entirely.


It works really well on macOS though.


Ecologists use their media presence to spread the idea that emission scandals destroy your brand. The (unfortunate, for them) truth is that people don't care.


I care deeply.

I drive a Diesel Super Duty, and almost bought a Ram Cummins when i bought it. I have a good friend who has worked for Cummins for 20 years, and many other friends with various diesel trucks.

I won't buy one of their products now because of this.

I deeply care, I'm right in the middle of their target demographic, and I have 40 years left of spending to do in my life.

Speak for yourself, I'll speak for me and my friends.


Do you think that Ford isn't capable of similar shenanigans?

Could you plausibly get your pickup-truck related work done with, say, a pair of Ardennaise draft horses?


I am positive they are.

I am also positive they have not been caught doing it. If they are, I will have a similar, likely higher, level of outrage.

Yes, but it would take way longer and my apartment building doesn't have stables.


>and I have 40 years left of spending to do in my life.

Given the amount of unnecessary shite in the air, I'll guess you're about 11 years old and not expecting things to improve much.


Average if expectancy is 80, 80 minus forty is forty.

Air quality has actually been getting steadily better in the areas the world that I live in because of the other companies following the new emissions laws properly. Im confident my diesel truck and RV will allow my family to seek "greener pastures" if needed.

The key is to stay happy with a modest lifestyle. The people that will be screwed are the people with 5000 Sq ft mansons that need $1500 a month in energy just to keep them from being uninhabitable. The neighborhoods in Arizona that won't have water.

If we all do more with less, be kind, and don't complain - we will be fine.

Editing because I can't reply to the awesome comment below. Love it, so true. Statistics changes as you move through space and time. Thank you for this lovely perspective!


Average life expectancy for someone who is 40 is more than the average life expectancy at birth given all the not dying that you’ve done since then.


"Ecologists" have more media-savvy and air-time than big brands, now?


Now and always, yes. You can read any mass media newspaper website and you will find global warming theory advocacy left and right. Whatever little greenwashing they publish paid by big oil pales in comparison to that.

The nytimes has an entire section dedicated to it: https://www.nytimes.com/section/climate

That image in your screenshot looks like coupon codes for Arabic web shopping sites.


They don't? If I google the name of a TV series to get more information about it, several streaming platforms that have it, including Netflix, take the first spots of the results, although I have no interest in that spam because I intend to pirate it.


this hasn't been my experience. streaming sites tend to rank much lower than IMDb, RT, Wikipedia, etc. If you already intend to pirate, wouldn't any non-pirate site be irrelevant?


IMDb, wikipedia, etc usually are what I'm looking for when I search for a series' name.


When I read the first line I thought you meant Pinterest itself :D
