Yeah, it was supposed to say "Sure Ass Laptop"

I don't know the protocol but old phone headsets had a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack with an extra ring that got you play/pause/hook/next/last.

Hypothetically that could have been implemented. I had a collection of Alexas that got binned as soon as they got caught spying for police so I never got that far. ESP32 is better for nerds anyway.

One thing Australia does right is a statute naming removal of features as a violation of contract requiring full refunds in these circumstances.

Well, yeah, of course; but the question is why did Congress make it that way? It just seems like a rather odd place to draw the line.

Yeah, that's the weird thing about this whole topic. I don't know how it is in Canada, but - why do US states have what amounts to partial autonomy in this regard? States are allowed to choose between implementing twice-yearly DST switches or sticking with year-round standard time... but they can't choose permanent DST?

I *did* live it, and I can't say going to school in the dark bothered me in the least.

But, in any case, I'll be retired soon - so I no longer particularly care which way we go. I think maybe we could even keep doing what we're doing, and I'll bring the popcorn to these ongoing Slashdot discussions.

PLUS that would leave more room for additional TIOBE surveys!

TFA only says there are 400 fixed libs, can't find that list. All I can find is ads for Lightwell, the AI.

Slashvertisment.

Isn't that a bit like me saying "my wife and Mrs. Wagon ..."?

Isn't that pretty much the standard tech business plan nowadays? Not to build a sustainably profitable company... but to pull something together that offers the best potential for a quick buyout in the shortest amount of time.

Ranting at the computer is not the same as making threats.

It's hard to believe that a Jordanian teenager learned the PeopleSoft vendor integration API well enough to exploit it.

Probably somebody whose dayjob is related.

Maybe he was just Vibesploiting, but it seems less likely.

No! Nothing happened here. This person wrote something in a place they thought was private. Someone spied on them an ratted them out, but nothing actually happened and no one should be under arrest. No was was harmed, no one was threatened, nothing happened.

This is some crazy big brother shit that should not happen.

I actually just bought a refurbished 15" M4 MacBook Air (for various reasons), but I'm also hanging on to my Intel-based MacBook Pro since it's running fine. The latter machine currently has a small-ish Linux Mint partition alongside macOS, but I'm thinking of switching it to Linux-only.

Note that, if you do this, you need carefully chose your distro if your Mac has the T2 security chip.

Where do we draw the line between "crazy lady yells at cloud to vent" and "crazy lady with actual gun has actual plans"?

What actually happened here?
