@ibuildthecloud It's perfectly capable of it, but that's not the Apple way. You have to buy another device to do that.

Wait I've never paid attention to iPads. Why is this not just macos? It's like Mac OS, but you can't run a terminal. If you could put Brew on this and launch VMs this would be the perfect device for me.

@rekdt @Cthulhu_Answers It would probably work better, honestly.

@Cthulhu_Answers Now do it with floppy tentacle dildos

😱 😳 🤖

@notafbihoneypot Going through a customer's bag of random SFPs is. Try this one. How about this one. Maybe this o...n...e......

What's next after routers? Switches. PC's.

@rekdt You know where it's going.

Ok, but where is my clipboard data i.e. passwords from password vault going?

@walterwhitepill @rittenhouse2a Yeah, I never bought it again after that. I didn't even decide to boycott it. It just didn't seem appealling anymore.

MARKET UPDATE: Black Rifle Coffee Co., who outed themselves as opportunists with no core values monetizing vetbro culture, is in a plummeting decline despite having drinks in every major gas station in the US. After disavowing Kyle @rittenhouse2a in 2020, being glowingly profiled by the New York Times in 2021 where they further disavowed their conservative/right wing constituency, Black Rifle IPO'd in 2022 at a price of $17.50 per share, reflecting an implied valuation of $767,000,000. Today, the share price is $0.76, which is a 94.76% drop from IPO. If you bought $100,000 of Black Rifle Coffee Company stock in 2022, you have $5,240 today. While it may feel old hat to say "Get woke, go broke", the consequences of decisions companies made under the Biden admin assuming a Kamala presidency and permanent Obamaism are still playing out. The corporate world moves slowly and the chickens are still coming home to roost.

@txsalth2o He probably needs to get a sleep study. You can get an at-home one for $150 online now.

Anyone have a magic hack to stop snoring? My husband does noes strips & mouth tape, we have white noise but still- he wakes me up, I shove ear plugs in, can still hear him & I start thinking about the all the other things I can do with the pillow…

@Itsfoss I don't understand why people think a user-friendly Linux is a good beginner Linux. If you're insulated from learning Linux, you're not going to learn it.

Linux Mint is still the best desktop Linux distro for beginners, right?

@Curiouslycinna2 @infosec_fox So, grifting... Got it.

@infosec_fox Generate AI training courses and sell it on Twitter. AI will do it all.

Genuine question. Give me one use case as to how people make money using AI?

@libsoftiktok @ab_peds So it's now pronounced Board of Pedoatrics?

🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨: American Board of Pediatrics (@ab_peds) certification questionnaire instructs doctors to AFFIRM children's gender delusions and recommend they "continue exploring their gender identity." They claim that recommending psych evaluations to children is "unnecessary" and instead encourage doctors to "affirm" transgenderism using made-up pronouns and names. Doctors who fail to answer "correctly" risk LOSING their certifications. @ab_peds should be investigated IMMEDIATELY for pushing a destructive ideology that harms CHILDREN.

@rekdt Was the captcha testing to see if you were straight?

Failed a captcha today and now I’m having a full on identity crisis

@iAnonymous3000 Yes. You are completely secured from owning your own computer and doing anything with it. That Apple doesn't want you to do. Live in the pod. Eat the bugs

The latest MacBook is way more secure than the latest Framework laptop and it’s not even close. MacBook Neo starts at $599 and runs the A18 Pro with a full Secure Enclave (the same Secure Enclave architecture as M-series Macs). The $599 model ships with a Lock Key instead of Touch ID. The $699 model adds Touch ID - which unlocks biometric authentication through the Secure Enclave. The Framework Laptop 13 starts at $899 for the DIY edition and $1,099 pre-built. You are paying $300 to $500 more for a device that ships with a weaker default security posture and requires more user effort to harden. On Apple silicon - the Secure Enclave is a dedicated secure subsystem isolated from the main processor (with its own secure boot process, encrypted memory with anti-replay, and a hardware root of trust). Apple silicon Macs use Apple’s own boot chain (rather than the conventional PC UEFI Secure Boot stack). FileVault key handling occurs in the Secure Enclave, and encryption keys are never directly exposed to the CPU. The key-encryption key is protected by the user’s password + the device’s hardware UID, making storage effectively hardware-bound (in a way ordinary TPM-backed disk encryption is not). Framework uses the standard PC security model: TPM 2.0-backed platform protections + Insyde UEFI firmware. That gap showed up in the October 2025 BombShell disclosure. Eclypsium found that Framework-signed UEFI shells exposed memory-modification functionality that could bypass Secure Boot, load unsigned pre-OS code, and still leave the machine appearing to have Secure Boot enabled. Roughly 200,000 devices were affected. Apple silicon has its own hardware-level problems. The GoFetch vulnerability affects M1, M2, and M3 chips. It exploits the Data Memory-Dependent Prefetcher to leak cryptographic key material through cache timing side channels. That flaw is in the silicon itself and cannot be removed through software updates. macOS ships with a dense default defense stack: secure boot on Apple silicon, Secure Enclave-backed FileVault, System Integrity Protection, hardware-based Kernel Integrity Protection, Gatekeeper plus notarization, XProtect, sandboxing, and TCC privacy controls. A Framework laptop can be hardened well - but the outcome depends on which OS you chose and how carefully you configured it. [you can run Qubes OS - which uses the Xen hypervisor with hardware virtualization support to isolate workloads into separate VMs. macOS has no equivalent compartmentalization model.] Framework ships hardware privacy switches that electrically disconnect the webcam and microphone. When OFF - the devices have no power and no data bus connection. MacBooks have a hardware mic disconnect that triggers when the lid closes. Framework’s weakness remains firmware update maturity. Its 12th-gen Intel BIOS vulnerability was disclosed publicly on September 2022, and the first beta with fixes arrived about 92 days later. For default security at this price point, nothing else is close.

@IanRunkle Picnic is spelled wrong. Let's scream about that for a ~200+ post thread.

This is an example of just a bad question. A couple who has 5 sons went for a picnic. They have sons who have sisters who have babies... But it lacks information. We know at _least_ two people went to the picnic (the couple). We have no information about who else did (or importantly, did not) go to the picnic. So the range here is 2 to (population of Earth). It's all vagueness.

@zacbowden I don't think you wrote that post. I think that's just a leak of the prompt they gave chat to make the next update and auto ship it.

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@openintelhub_ @tomwarren The catch is that they're just going to keep AI-slopping updates...

Microsoft is ending the Windows Update nightmare — and letting you pause them indefinitely 🥳 theverge.com/tech/898082/mi…

@JakeRalsto60141 @Okie_Rancher The real problem with this is that it is directly tied to our most advanced weaponry. Untie one bundle and the public learns the truth about where we get our tech from...

@Okie_Rancher Wish people cared this much about billionaires fucking and eating kids

Can we on X agree that if the Adams County sheriffs office somehow retaliates or finds a way to go after Afroman, a redneck army of First Amendment believers and protectors will descend upon the Adams County Sheriffs department like a tornado on a trailer park. You bald, fat, sad little men, (and not so bald women), will back away slowly, keep your mouths shut, your weapons holstered, and you will not mess with this again. I say this as I know how these small town police departments work. I was the prosecutor for some back in the day. Reason and logic may be lost on them. Fear is not. I am a white redneck rancher with a law degree and I will help his attorney, who was amazing, do whatever needs to be done.

@Protestia @postjawline Way more than half...

@postjawline you just described half his feed

'Roman Catholic' Milo Yiannopoulos announces he is an "ex ex gay" after previously claiming to be "sodomy-free" and celibate after consecrating his life to "St. Jospeh." He previously said in an interview with Lifesite News: "My own life has changed dramatically, though it crept up on me while I wasn’t paying attention. I’m someone who responds to micromanagement and accountability, so I’ve found counting days an effective bulwark against sin. In the last 250 days I’ve only slipped once, which is a lot better than I predicted I would do… The best metaphor I know is that of a flower blooming – “Whatever is loving in man and whatever is lovable in man is Christ in man.” I take this to mean that the more love and the less lust in us, the more we cease to obscure Christ and instead reveal Him, in whose image we are made. I don’t mean to suggest it’s been easy, just simple: Our Lord endured worse than any of us and promised us that we have to take up a heavy cross each day. Ronald Knox says the Via Crucis shows us the 3 ways we can carry our cross: With bitterness, like the unrepentant thief; with grim resignation, like the repentant thief who said it was what he deserved; or with love, like the Lord, who never minimized suffering but said it would, in God’s time, redeem us."

@iFightForKids We all know Alex does this so he can write off a meal at Golden Corral.

Before coming into the stinghouse (the last house he's ever see the inside of for the rest of his life), pedophile David Keggan took our Mom & Daughter decoys out to eat at Golden Corral to feel the situation out. Little did he know, during his last meal as a free man, he was being recorded from 3 different angles and I passed him up twice 🤭

@Noise1ner @TimothyAlberino @jtfollowsjc @reel_sober @tonyelgringo12 You must have read a completely different conversation than I did.

@TimothyAlberino @jtfollowsjc @reel_sober @tonyelgringo12 You got smoked Tim 🤣

Angels are spiritual beings that eat, drink, fight, play instruments, keep written records, fly in aerospace vehicles, and engage in sexual intercourse. I don't think "spiritual" means what we think it means.

@raywongy Classic Apple.

So I decided to factory reset/erase my beloved 12” MacBook (early 2015) just to get a clean install of the last version of macOS 11.7.11 Big Sur that it supports Big mistake. Apps that used to run (like Final Cut Pro) can’t even be redownloaded from the App Store anymore because Apple requires macOS 15 or later. That’s right: Software that I paid $300 for back in 2020 (see second image with date of purchase) that ran on this little machine (yes, I edited 4K iPhone footage on it during major events like CES, MWC, and IFA back in the day) just straight up doesn’t install anymore. Apple doesn’t even let me install the last compatible version anymore. There’s nothing wrong with my 12” MacBook. It should run all the software that used to work on it. Kinda fucked up and very anti-consumer

@rekdt I'm heterosexual. I don't have a partner.

If your partner hasn’t asked you to be their Patrick for St Patrick’s Day, it’s time to reconsider the relationship
