The long lived ones are. Tiny black holes don’t last that long (on a cosmological scale) as shown in the graph.

TLDR They were considering shipping a phone that had already been restored from a backup via their cloud servers.
IIRC iCloud backups have already been the target of both hackers and law enforcement activity before.
But more generally, if whatever service you use for backup isn’t end to end encrypted, then whoever has your backup could sift through it if they wanted.
Note that Apple does allow “Advanced Data Protection” which includes end-to-end encrypted backups along with the warning that Apple cannot help you if you lose your password.

This is one of those cases where the name brand cable probably is better than an off brand.
Tangential story, but a cheapo headphone cable once broke the headphone jack on my computer. It was too big and stretched out the connector in there.
I have never seen that gif before but god do I hate it


They just started doing that earlier this year for a handful of titles. I doubt there has been enough time for a significant number of titles to implement that.
The next shot is he backs down because they threaten his love interest

When I go visit family I inevitably get the “an unknown AirPods has been traveling with you” notification. It’s my brothers in his pocket, we’ve just been on vacation together the past few days.

It varies. The bananas in the picture are particularly green though.

I have an Nvidia GPU and I’ve been able to get HDR working on Linux (Bazzite gnome) with some tweaking for specific games. I haven’t really tried watching movies with it yet.


Specifically the 2 instances that everybody blocks, and it’s mostly fans of those two instances that complain about it.


My family would always go skiing in the nearby mountains every Christmas. We are starting to have the conversation of changing that plan, given how bad the snow has been the past two years, and predictions for the future are only getting worse.
It sets a minimum standard. Bad teachers teach to the test. Good teachers go above and beyond that. But at least the bad teachers have a minimum standard to meet.


Further down the Wikipedia the most recent rebrand from OS X to macOS was in 2016.
Still, seems fishy to me that 20% of the market share would be running a 10 year old OS…


What’s the difference between “OS X” and “macOS” on this chart?
Surely 20% of the market share isn’t Mac’s that are so old their OS is over 10 years old? I don’t know how else to interpret that…


You can still reason about expected value in this situation, just $ is not really what you want to optimize for.
When you view it as “100% chance of being able to afford anything” vs “50% chance of being able to afford anything” it becomes more clear.
Gemini is a completely different project.
The term “AI” is rather overloaded these days.
AlphaFold uses a combination of machine learning and physics simulations to predict the shape of a protein given its chemical formula.
Gemini is a Large Language Model which uses machine learning to predict text completion.
They both use “machine learning” but the machine learning models are wildly different. Machine learning is a technique that’s basically a fancy curve fitting approach. The curve AlphaFold is trained to mimic maps chemical formulas to shapes, while the curve Gemini mimics maps a text input to probabilities for predictions of the next letter(s).
