I generally think arstechnica.com does a decent job of being a non-garbage news site. I pay a couple bucks a month for the ad-free RSS feed. This story feels terrible to me. I don’t doubt a law suit has been filed, but I would expect some investigation by the reporter of the extra-ordinary claims of privilege escape the application is claimed to be capable of.
I use Adguard, vinegar and baking soda, but wasn’t aware of Wipr. I might give it a try as a replacement for Adguard. Glad you mentioned it.
GoodRX is my favorite shitty bandaid for this feature of a capitalist health care plan.
I’m not an Apple apologist, but I feel there are some things Apple does that are privacy focused.
The things I hate about Apple are generally not privacy related.
I really enjoy Apple products, but this is my biggest peeve. It’s not like I cannot manage without a different browser—certainly about half of americans primarily use Safari—but the flexibility and customization of Firefox or chromium would be very welcome.
I love that you got it brown and crisp as I abhor soft/chewy quesadillas.
I like adding cilantro somewhere (either in fillings or in salsa). Sometimes I throw a little cheese in the pan and let it melt and cook onto the outside of the quesadilla which gives it a little different character. I also love getting chipotle flavor somewhere and usually use Cholula Chipotle sauce which I buy in 64oz bottles instead of the little 5oz bottles they sell in stores.
I make a lot of quesadillas!
Do you use straw for mulch on top, or is it a straw bale setup?
People with low scores are always saying I’ve got low standards… /s
I get 17.45 on an iPad Pro. This is with all extensions disabled and my adblocker off. They say I am unique in the past 45 days. Looking through the info I don’t see how this works. Could it be that no one else has tested with an iPad Pro? It’s not like the hardware in this model is different from a similar one. You really just cannot meddle with it. It’s a fairly locked down ecosystem.
If I took an iPad, reset it and ran the test. Then reset it and ran the test again, would both be unique?
I’ve moved to WinPE for its immutability.
Most Apple services can be encrypted including iCloud. Basically email and calendaring are not covered.

If you set it up as “advanced” then only you hold the recovery keys.
If you have an easy way to make emails on the fly like Apple’s hide my email feature then it really isn’t an issue to setup accounts with unique email addresses. Some sites don’t allow throw away emails from some providers, but I’ve never had that issue with Apples version since a ban on icloud.com emails would eliminate too many customers.
Depending on the site, you can use one device to login to another without installing additional software. For instance, if you have an iPhone with a passkey for microsoft.com stored on it, you can login to Microsoft.com using the iPhone.
Here is a webpage that has some screenshots to show you what I mean. You can probably google some other examples.
It is possible to sync passkeys across devices but at this point is mainly within a single ecosystem.
That’d be one tough old bird. I wouldn’t eat it either.
Maybe he is going to live a couple centuries and your short window onto his life has foreshortened your view?
Birds are basically today’s lizards and like most lizards can live a very long time and grow throughout their lives. When you think about how big alligators can get in a similar amount of time, it isn’t surprising that chickens can also.
I have Server 2022 with a GUI installed on my laptop because it lets me use all the server features, play Windows games that use DRM and not spend time messing around with getting linux to run on a laptop. I have Linux on the laptop, but running inside VMs.
I still don’t want copilot installed. I can confirm it is installed on my Windows Server 2022 laptop. I don’t see any entry points on the desktop or start menu. I haven’t checked Edge yet.
I wonder if copilot is released to all update channels or if it is only on a subset?
I don’t even see a link. Though I guess I should look inside Microsoft Edge.
Edit: I cannot find anyway to get to it in either the desktop or Edge. I do not have a signed in Microsoft account on this machine, so that may be why I don’t see it. I’m not willing to sign in to see.
I have a house. I say have because while I have the title to the house, the bank has a lien that basically means they own it. Like a stock, my house increases in value. The government in my state then taxes me on the value of the house. Taxing me on unrealized gains in the house (I have not sold it) is like taxing a rich person on the unrealized gains of stock (that they have not sold).
It is possible to come up with ways to tax stock. It will be imperfect like all tax systems are. It will be better than what we have now.
I would feel that it would be a reasonable if it was my local paper running the story. Arstechnica IS a primarily technical news site—I believe they should have a higher bar—otherwise they are just parroting a report and not providing useful (to me) news.
