Make sure to keep a backup of your Sequoia install

Looks like it checks for the referrer in main.js and adds the uppercase text-transform if you come from HN:

  let host;
  if (document.referrer) { host = (new URL(document.referrer)).host; }
  if (host === "news.ycombinator.com" || host === "lobste.rs") {
    let style = document.createElement('style');
    // let transform = host === "lobste.rs" ? 
    style.textContent = `
      body { text-transform: uppercase; }
      pre, code { text-transform: none; }
    `;
    document.head.appendChild(style);
    console.log("HN readers clearly can't handle the typing habits of the average trans girl.");
    return;
  }

It seems the suggested solution is to use server credentials that lack delete permissions (and use credentials that have delete for compacting the repo), but does that protect against a compromised client simply overriding files without deleting them?

Yes, its called "hybrid transport", and its a flow where a laptop presents a QR code to a mobile phone, who then sets up a BLE connection for one time use of the passkey.

(Not sure how the "cloud assisted" part of caBLE works)

Note that this requires native iCloud support on the host machine, so macOS or the iCloud app on Windows (no Linux support)

Does anyone have insight into why Apple encrypts SEP firmware? Clearly it’s not critical to their security model so maybe just for IP protection?

Notably, only the pro models support USB 3. The base 16/16 plus are still on USB 2. This hasn't changed from the 15 lineup when they switched to USB-C.

What extensions are you using for C# on code-server? AFAIK the official C# extensions from Microsoft (C# base and dev kit) aren’t licensed for non-vscode use.

IIRC TextEdit.app has options like smart quotes, auto capitalize, and spell check turned on (in addition to being rich text by default), so you have to change all those to be a dumb plain text editor.

Does anyone know of any similar works that instead focus on a common law background (US/UK/others) vs civil law (EU/most of the world), that I am understanding this book focuses on?

This is a topic I am very interested in, but since I am from the US I would prefer to start with law as practiced here.

Edit: only skimmed and it seems this book may be both EU and UK focused. Seems to be funded by the EU European Research Council but published by Oxford?

$45k per month. Annually it's > $540,000

Also, updates do count.

"A first annual install may result from an app’s first-time install, a reinstall, or an update from any iOS app distribution option — including the App Store, an alternative app marketplace, TestFlight, an App Clip, volume purchases through Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, and/or a custom app."

Seems like this video was heavily editorialized, but still impressive.

> For security reasons, we do not have Chrome crash reporting enabled.

Ironic.

I’m currently traveling internationally with an iPhone 12 and I can confirm the single eSIM + single physical SIM limitation. Although, in my case, I'm using a physical international SIM and a US eSIM.

I would love to turn off my US eSIM when not in use (I think it uses more power connected to two cellular networks) but that would require unenrolling my US iMessage number and I can’t do that. Definitely the most annoying part of the whole thing.

I considered using a spare iPhone to host a physical SIM with my US number because that would allow the number to stay bonded with my Apple ID and potentially forward SMS over iCloud, but I decided not to because in my experience the SMS part is too flaky to be relied on.
