Don't bother with the links, the comments are more informative. In some of the comments people explain why it's Intel's fault and not Apple, in some comments people explain processor speeds. A lot of it is about the keyboard that they changed, but that is not related to this. My point was more that I think Apple should put the amount of effort into their laptops that they did in 2009, whether or not they do is subjective until we see their new processors.
While I don't know much about phones and suppose you are correct there, I have been disappointed with the hardware that they pushed to their macs the last 5 or so years. For instance, why did they ship newer macs without upgrading to the newest Intel chips?
I guess you can solve anything if you do it yourself, but that was perplexing for me that they would do that. I am not an expert on this, but this happened some time between 2016–2018.
Edit: I stuck with my upgraded 2013 model and even today it's fast and good for the job. Even my 2009 mac is still running. So I am not saying they can't pull it off, I am just wondering whether they give enough attention to their non-iPhone products.
To paraphrase my supervisor "Mathematicians don't read, we write."
Not to be taken literally, of course. But there is some truth in that. If you are an engineer it makes sense to skim all kinds of math books. If you are a mathematician then I would say rather look for something that gels well with your personality and run with it.
What if you don't want nonviolent communication? I can think of many examples; an oppressive government, a physically oppressive/abusive relationship or rape, a religously delusional cult, etc.
Maybe the assumption is that you are excluding such situations? Sometimes you have to fight for justice. What is your priority, peace or truth? I understand that point 1. should address this, but the opposite can happen as well: downplaying facts.
Maybe that's not the point of this, but I don't by default think you have to be nice to people with whom you disagree. If you try to understand someone you may become like them.
I could be missing the plot here, but I always got the impression that Outlook limits (sets) the fonts and colours in order to make the emails look like they "were sent by MS/Outlook". But again, this may be my idiosyncratic MS experience.
So my question is this: is PGP itself to blame or are people basically saying, "Don't use PGP unless you know what you are doing."
I don't really know what concrete advice the article gives for me personally. (The only thing I take away from this is to learn libsodium as well, rather than not using PGP.)
First of all, if you are signing something and want to prove that you are the author, then PGP will allow you to do that.
If you want to encrypt something and prove you are the author, PGP will still allow you to do that.
Does the author mean that PGP is bad for email specifically?
Excel has many of the mentioned properties, such as backwards compatibility and inefficiency, but it gets the job done and you bet it will pay your bills.
It feels to me like these posts are like the 80:20 problem, but rather with 99:1 and it's all about that 1%. I understand that software developers should use libsodium. But I'll sign the words "U R A >on" right now in GPG and wait for you to break my key and sign "U R 1 2" with my private key...
1. At setup, Find My generates private key shared to all your Apple devices.
2. The private key generates a perpetual sequence of public keys. These change (iterates to the next) "frequently".
3. The rotating public key is shared accross all (including other people's) Apple devices via Bluetooth and can even do this when it's off.
4. The shared scheme pings to Apple's central system and uploads A. hashes of the public keys in the area and B. the location.
5. When you try to find a device you send your hashed public key to Apples server and they return the last picked up location (encrypted). (You thus need at least 2 Apple devices, one to find the other. Also, they don't say how the previously iterated public keys are remembered.)
Do you mean learn other people's songs from sheet music, or do you mean write down, from the sheet music, the same song again on blank sheet paper?
Edit: Or do you mean write down the song via hearing?
