This is something that Netflix supported very early on, and removed it for some other reason. I'm sure Netflix originally removed it for some anticompetitive nonsense, but in our family, we check the TV app first, and sometimes forget to check Netflix.

"Non-exportable passkeys" are pretty simple: Use a YubiKey. The 5C NFC works on pretty much everything, and in most cases, is indistinguishable from a software passkey.

The U.S. Navy treated it as a giant training exercise. They used it to practice all sort of search/rescue and remote deployment strategies. The value of this was demonstrated by how many countries (specifically Australia and New Zealand) quickly made arrangements to acquire the P-8 Poseidon, the primary US search asset.

I lost a lot of weight after reading "The Hackers Diet" He was a real help to me.

This is your takeaway from the article?

You don't see a clear difference between using this technology against civilians during peacetime, versus a democratic country defending themselves against an invader's military forces? Clearview is scum, but this is not the same.

As an ARM founder, they have a perpetual license. I think you're right about hedging, though it's possible they just want to keep abreast of what's happening in other segments.

This is my issue. My son is a 9 year-old heart transplant recipient, and won't be eligible to receive a COVID vaccine for at least a few months. When he does, he'll have a suppressed response and will probably need three shots - which isn't even approved for transplant recipients by the FDA or CDC in this country (it is in other countries.)

This seems like a specious complaint as Big Sur won't stop working, and Apple will continue to provide critical updates to it for years to come. Are you suggesting Apple should always target 10 year old hardware with the very latest OS? It's well known that they have been very generous in this regard on the mobile side. They're more generous on the desktop/laptop side - just that the perspective is different. Or does your friend think that Apple should just go on supporting legacy hardware forever?

I really don't care if I get downvoted for saying this, but: As someone who has been reading /. for over two decades, this has to be one of the silliest topics around. The silliness isn't so much for the post itself, but for the rabid support for the initiative, which is wrong on multiple levels.

This could get interesting. Maybe I'll start cross posting my blog here - see if we can get something going. Though I can't lie - I'm doubting it will catch on. :)

I've had this issue with controllers for as long as I've owned my ps4

Compaq was hardly only desktop/laptop PCs. They were one of the dominant PC server vendors prior to acquisition. This group went to HPE, not HP.

Not exactly. HP is basically printers and the computer systems that were marketed to consumers. HPE is everything else (servers, cloud infrastructure, networking, HPC, enterprise services - for a while, etc.)

Houston is where Compaq was founded, and that is really the heart and soul of the modern HPE. This is just relocating their headquarters to be closer to their main operational center.
