So what? The answer to the question is still yes.

I assumed it was patent-encumbered that could not be reconciled by either party.

Yes, in Britain it is, you fanny.

You can already do this using things like the Chrome Storage APIs (obviously chrome only, and you need to be signed in, and bundle an extension)

Seems like a bug if it only affects certain processor cores.

Watch the video again. He emphatically says they have to be blank or it won't work
staticfish | 1 year ago | on: M4 Mac mini's efficiency
I don't think this is true. If you watch the videos, dosdude1 specifically says he had to order blank NANDs for this process. Then you DFU restore the system from another mac. I have no proof, but I assume part of this DFU restore process is the new NAND chips being hardware paired in some way.
Again I have no proof, but there must be reasons he claims they have to be blank NANDs

I assume he needed it to have a small opening in the cage to shove the Raspberry Pi through it (to broadcast new SSIDs)

It looks really cool, but i'll make an argument to how faithful it is. I opened the page, and clicked on a square. Immediate bomb loss. This does go against the rules of Windows Minesweeper.

url length limitations may thwart that, unless it's all compressed which might defeat the purpose

Interesting. I occasionally use this feature so will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the clarification.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I must have missed this. It doesn't seem completely unfair to not pass your main Google password, and I imagine you still might be able to use generated application passwords if you really need the functionality (maybe).

I'm not fully understanding your comment. What do you think is happening or has happened to IMAP at Gmail?

> you have to pick your approach and commit to it.
I somewhat agree with this, especially when we are talking about higher brand companies appeasing cheaper consumables.
However, the other way around, it can be done effectively. Take for IKEA instance. They made inroads into Europe and American homes, and did it by offering cheaper, well-designed and modern alternatives made of particle board. After seeing some customers wanted higher-quality products with the same design aesthetic, they introduced a sliding scale of products from cheap-and-cheerful, to better constructed, yet still flatpacked materials.
Customers could then choose the desired range and quality on a sliding scale for each product. This model seems to have worked well for them.

Not OP but they are almost certainly referring to the BIOS POST self-health and status messages.

Often because (as in this case as well) they are not regular LCD or calculator-like segmented displays, but rather Vacuum Florissant Displays. VERY satisfying hue they emit.

It does not (unless you install XCode developer tools)

It's much more insidious than you let on. It's plain lying about the cost of the service (food in this case) so they get you in the door, then bait-and-switch you when you get the bill.
Just a hunch, but I'm guessing you live in Seattle. I've been noticing the same thing all over, and honestly it should be highly illegal.
staticfish | 2 years ago | on: Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead
More likely that they've laid-off or reassigned the person(s) responsible for Googlecache, and want to sunset the feature as fast as possible.
staticfish | 2 years ago | on: Google Search officially retires cache link
Cached webpages have pretty much been dead since the pandemic, at least from my usage in the last few years.
There used to be a prominent cache link under the search results, then it moved to a weird overflow menu thing, and then finally about a year or more ago, Google exposed no cache version for most websites. This just seems like confirmation.
Still really shitty. I used it constantly. I hate new Google.
