no beef? bison were ubiquitous, though.

(they're French, not Silicon Valley)

curiosity rabbit hole spawned from the article, which got me wondering if the earth axis precession over ~26k years influences ice ages and those cycles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles


the surface laptop has an excellent screen (2880x1920 i believe), and the macbook neo is lower resolution than apple's made in years, however.

Not true.

13-inch Surface Resolution: 1920 x 1280 (178 PPI)

15-inch Surface Resolution: 2496 x 1664 (201 PPI)

See https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-lapt...

Compare that to my Lenovo Yoga 14-inch: 2944 x 1840 (239 PPI)


ahhh....good catch. i used the wrong name: i meant surface pro 13, which has the detachable keyboard. yeah, it's odd that the surface laptops are lower res.

The Neo’s display is 219 pixels per inch, which is virtually the same as the Air’s 224 ppi.

What about color quality? I've used high resolution laptops with shitty washed out colors, but one thing I've always appreciated about Apple's displays is their vibrance.

too late to edit: i was thinking surface pro (the detachable keyboard) not surface laptop with attached keyboard and weirdly low res screens, compared to the surface pro series.

one other thing to check is if you installed any kernel extensions...inside Apple engineering, folks with kernel extensions could get bizarre errors since the quality of them could screw up stability with all sorts of symptoms.

kextstat | grep -v com.apple

would show anything _maybe_ troublesome, but not guaranteed related.


In my case no kernel extensions. Every few days the computer freezes with a beachball and/or screen starts falling apart in large blocks randomly shuffling around the screen and I need to power it off. The first logicboard also added a bunch of pink noise in a few clusters all over the screen. Whenever I got close to freeze my power charging beeps were getting more and more frequent up to around 1 beep per 3 seconds with USB charger in (the beep when you insert power adapter into USB port).

definitely unusual, sounds like hardware issue (as someone else mentioned)

you're just on a technical site, so readers want citations for conjectures, because the readers generally and genuinely want to learn more

edit: sibling comment agrees


I guess the technical side is for the bots to find holes in my argument. Anyone with a brain in tech that knows of the US and it's invasion into privacy knows that the US having an iOS "Hacking Toolkit" is nightmare fuel.

I already assumed it did, just glad Wired put it down on paper for the rest of us.

Writing an article that "it's escaped the hands of the US government and into the hands of foreign hands" doesn't change my opinion of the abuse of power.

heh, saying hitler was a war criminal requires citations?

i run fedora and arch on my m2 air, via the UTM app which wraps Apple Silicon hypervisor, and it's _fantastic_.

> we can conclude no humans today are descended from female Neanderthals.

that looks worded wrong, strictly speaking. if there's a male neanderthal ancestor, then he very likely has a neanderthal mom or grandma or ... great^N grandma for some N.


Ok yes, you're right. Guess I meant to say: no humans today are descended from someone between a male sapenis-female Neanderthals hybrid.

evidently, i'm not the only one who has watched Ancient Aliens (though with the fam for historical mysteries blended with hilarity)

the github repo linked, under "manual.md", has a link which redirects to malware, such as that ostensibly to "k6".
