Or of just a power outage or driver causing a loss of write back cache.

95 and 98 and ME crashed on a regular basis. I specifically remember upgrading from ME to XP and being so happy with the massively improved stability of the NT kernel over the 9x kernels.

If you think that's 9x was stable and reliable, you may be thinking very nostalgicly.

I've been a paying member for a while now. I'm happy to support a company that isn't Google or Microsoft for search.

The 180-page injunction outline the reason for it and the goals of the injunction. They knew the court ruled against them for specific reasons but came up with a solution that didn't take into account any of the stated goals into account.

Their solution didn't address any of the goals of the injunction.

IANAL.

At some point it has to be documented as to the decisions made and the reasoning.

If there is literally no documentation up until the final moment, doesn't that itself act as evidence that they were consciously and deliberately not wanting their reasoning documented?

Why not just do the right thing. Damn.

Given that the CFO encouraged Cook to violate the court order tells me that they calculated that

1. Any fines for not complying would be less than what they would lose by complying

2. That no individual would suffer any consequences for blatantly disobeying a court order.

In my opinion, the whole concept that a company can break the law but no human can be held responsible is insane.

I really hope that criminal charges are brought against those involved in making a conscious choice to both lie to the court and ignore the court order. Hopefully that will make other executives think twice when put in the same situation.

I understand applying path filters in URLS and search strings, but I find it odd that they would apply the same rules to request body content, especially content encoded as valid JSON, and especially for a BLOG platform where the content would be anything.

Really? Did you have to pair your Apple watch? Did Apple sign the software on the watch? Did Apple build special APIs and tools into iOS to support certain features of the Apple Watch?

Apple is demonstrating here that they can control every aspect of what you can do with your phone, including not allowing Pebble to work.

Apple doesn't even allow you to replace broken parts in your phone unless it has an Apple approved signature that can be validated.

Microsoft absolutely got in trouble for purposefully making other Office suites not work correctly on Windows, for using private Windows APIs in Office that other companies didn't have access to, etc.

If Apple makes a watch that can receive and send iMessages then there is no reason any other device shouldn't be able to use the same APIs that Apple uses.

It absolutely creates a system where competitors literally cannot compete with the same features.

Looking at the top end chart, which flat lined, it seems that the biggest contributor would be a slower release cycle of the most performant chips. It looks like the score of the top end chips were dragging up the average. With the top spot not changing, the average is falling.

I'm curious what median and std dev look like.

From where I left 2 years ago

I look at bun in the JS ecosystem like this. They are open source for now but also backed by VCs. They will have to make money at some point.

I have no interest in engaging with that product just to have a new pricing model thrown my way and disrupt everything.

This is really a Bluetooth issue. The same happens with any headphones that have a mic on any OS.

When Bluetooth mode is switched from Headphones to Headset (with mic), only much lower quality audio codes are used.

Does anyone know if Bluetooth 6 adds support for higher quality codes for Headset?

It's a big issue, in my opinion.
