Step1. Download Vulnerable Firefox.

Please tell me you are trolling me and not this stupid.

No, GhostLock is not browser to Kernel.

This is the browser part.

If you run critical containers under Linux instead of a dedicated hypervisor, you deserve to get hacked.

How is it a wide impact?

It requires being able to execute arbitrary code on the machine in userspace. If you have that, most of the time you don't even care about kernel level exploits.

If you are still in the camp of "all politicians...", you are part of the problem.

Its a shame that midterms are going to likely swing to the Dem side, because the thing that needs to happen is for Republicans to hold power for 10+ years to run the country into the ground so people like you feel real strife and stop living in your own little fantasy world where you pretend like you are morally superior above others.

I wouldn't feel too bad about farmers. These assholes expect socialism in the form of farm subsidies, but then overwhelmingly vote in favor of harming others.

If an activity is harmful is some way, but not beneficial in any other way (just because one "likes" it doesn't count"), the reasons to ban it outweigh the reasons to keep it

If there is actual harm being done, i.e reason to ban them, then sure.

In the case of video games, I ironically agree on ban for kids on video games with online multiplayer. Kids should be forced to socialize in person in way greater ration that their online time to see that online personas are not real

In the case of sex before marriage, the opposite is probably true.

Everything needs to have a reason. Fireworks don't have a good reason, even ones that are professionally done. Just because its tradition doesn't mean it should be auto accepted.

Given how China is doing, Id say they have the knob in a more optimal place.

Freedom is not one dimensional. In some ways Chinese are more "free" than Americans.

We do.

In the past, pre public availability of internet chat rooms, people used to be a lot more reserved, and speech had a consequence of public accountability.

Now, anyone can be anonymous, post anything that comes to mind without any real repercussion. People love to criticize laws like UK has against hate speech online, citing lack of freedom, but most people that got punished with that law will be seen in public saying the same shit.

There are 2 options to fix this. First, is no internet anonymity. Second is surveillance. The latter option is preferable, because it de-anonymizes you only to the government entities, not everyone.

The famous argument is "don't give the government power that you don't want the political opposition to have" is silly. As been proven so clearly, if the political opposition takes power, they will just do what they want ignoring the law anyways. Its much better to create systems in place that allow current sane governments to implement guardrails to prevent nefarious ideas from taking hold in the first place, and silencing the people that would have been ostasized in public in the pre internet days anyways.

Not everything that Chinese leadership does is perfect, they have made mistakes, but overall, leadership that is openly like "we need to maintain a tight control over the population for stability" is generally more trustworthy than that campaigns on freedom and small government only to get in power and make themselves richer.

Why would you need any support for things that are fully open source and flashable yourself?

Most everyone who has a flipper runs something like Unleashed firmware, and most of the functionality is in the apps that people built, not in the actual firmware.

In the very extreme case of not having access to charging for extended periods, I would understand the battery life argument, even though there are laptops you can buy with comparable battery life than are non mac, especially if you run a lightweight linux distro with i3wm that basically means your cpu sits fully idle when not in use (unlike Macs which constantly phone home to Apple)

But with fast charging and basically an outlet most everywhere you would actually use your laptop, that ship has sailed.

Lets not play the dumb games please. Its obvious that the poster mean that Apple hardware is better than the rest, which is simply not true.

The Macs all throttle with heavy workload that raises the temps no matter what you do. The efficiency (and battery life) comes from the hardware being configured to do certain things very efficiently, like video decoding.

Compute is compute, Apple didn't circumvent physics. It just managed to take chunks of that compute that represents the most average use case, and make it more efficient, in the same way that ASIC mine bitcoins more efficiently than GPUS

As for keyboard, it still sucks. Impossible to clean without taking the thing apart, so if you get any dirt under the keys, its gonna be there for quite some time.

I don't use other laptop because their hardwares aren't comparable to MacBook.

Yes, because being non repairable, being non upgradable, having early thermal throttling due to subar cooling, and having a mediocre keyboard is SO much better than anything else that is out there.

I swear, the blatant lies that come out of supposed Mac fans on HN is almost like Apple is astroturfing this forum with shill accounts. Whats next, you are going to tell me that your Macbook is great for local LLM usage because 10 tok/sec while your laptop gets too hot to use on your lap and makes your fingers hot is all that anyone needs?

I would also be against vaccine mandate if we also had a law where if I could prove you infected me, that would count as assault with a deadly weapon, and all the other laws that determine what I could do when someone assaults me with a deadly weapon would apply.

Goverment does not pay as much as private sector, and pay is all based on years of experience, not talent.

A lot of times they create job posting for someone they already want to fill a certain role.

You clearly do not seem to understand how convenient the MacMini actually IS - the form factor, how quiet it is, how durable it is, how well it integrates with other Macs, how well it works as a bridge to a personal agent like Hermes (integration with iMessage, Calendar, Reminders, iCloud, etc).

If you are that locked in to Apple, its pretty easy to buy a used Mac Mini older gen for all the non AI stuff.

But this is a discussion about inference. Buying a Mac anything for any sort of local inference is a COLOSSAL waste of money.

If you want to run Qwen3.6 27B / 35B at its best, get a MacMini M4 with 64GB of RAM and put it in the basement

Im sorry, but its time to start calling Apple sycophants out. Stop trying to push your tech jewelry on other people. You only buy those computers because they are Apple, you don't know anything about computing or running LLMs, you don't do any real work, so you should probably not give advice on what to buy.

A single 3090 will run Qwen3.6 27b fine, and its VRAM speed is twice of what the best Mac has. And the build will be cheaper. Decent CPU/Motherboard, 32gb of DDR4 ram, an SSD and a Single 3090 should run max about $4grand. Mac m4 mini is 6grand.

Then, when gpu prices come down (or you find one on a deal), you can upgrade the card, or stick a second one, and benefit from more speed. You can't do that with the trash Apple produces.

Flag me if you want, I don't care. Its embarrasing for the tech community to give advice this bad.

All it would take for Linux to be equal is nvidia getting their shit together and putting together drivers for Linux.

But because everyone in the world wants to give them money right now, chances are that is not going to happen.

Just like there is a market for high end cars, with the "community" aspect being sold as part of the package where you connect with owners of the same brand, there really should be a market for high end multiplayer gaming. Maybe Steam Frame will be that. Way fewer players, higher game cost, but experiences tailored to appeal to people who have the lifestyle that lets them afford a $10k headset + indoor space to play with it, rather than the high school broccoli heads that are high off their vapes most of the time.

Being flawless and polished at UX, hardware experience, and CX in general are the core of Apple's identity and revenue.

No, and no.

Apple is at the Ferrari stage of computer hardware.

Ferrari doesn't need to make good cars. They don't even need to make good looking cars (i.e the new Luce). They just need to make cars that are hard to get, with a Ferrari badge. Because the badge carries so much weight, the product is desirable.

Apple is the same way. They could release a terrible laptop, and people will still buy it. Don't believe me? Remember that they had an MBP, pre apple silicon, with comparatively shit specs for the money, and a touchbar with a virtual escape key and a terrible arrow key layout. Thing was actually terrible to use. But yet, because Apple, everyone was still praising it.

If all you need is a coding laptop, any $200 dollar laptop with upgradable ssd and ram with linux installed does just fine.

Oh please. Steve would have made the Mac Book even worse functionally, but it would have had prettier aesthetics.

Dude was the definition of narcissism.

If someone manages to get remote code execution at user space on a machine, the amount of damage that they can do with just that versus having a kernel level exploit is about the same.

No I agree, its a pain, but its necessary if you care about security and don't want to audit every single release for potential vulnerabilities. People don't do this, so they really don't care that much.
