  • But it does say right on that page:

    Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.

    In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.


  • So much.

    • Window Management, especially fullscreen
    • Alt Tabbing Behaviour
    • Default Keyboard Layout
    • The Dock with its forced defaults (Finder leftmost, Trash rightmost etc)
    • No volume control over HDMI
    • Power Management (no manual hibernate, closing lid always sleeps)
    • File System Support
    • The reactions that auto trigger on webcam
    • The Global Menu
    • Unchangable limit to virtual desktops
    • Default apps being hard to change in some cases (mailto: links for example)
    • The weird software installation process with dragging icons to a special folder
    • That I can’t temporarily disable a system management profile
    • The way the BSD tools are slightly different than the GNU ones, with grep slower for certain patterns
    • No Package Manager by default (unless you count the App store with forced accounts)
    • Weird filesystem setup, far from FHS

    I have installed various pieces of third party software to fix some of them, but still, those are things I dislike about macOS.





  • I take issue with this forced distinction they are making

    Micron, like Samsung and SK Hynix, already supplies memory chips directly to third-party brands such as G.Skill and ADATA. Even without Crucial-branded kits, Micron DRAM continues to reach consumers through other manufacturers, meaning overall supply remains largely unchanged.

    Nobody ever officially suggested the Crucial supply was likely to shift to the other manufacturers for consumers. On the contrary people expect this to be a step towards a general redistribution of manufacturing capacity towards HBM for parallel compute products.

    By comparison, Samsung exiting SATA SSDs removes an entire class of finished consumer products from one of the world’s largest NAND suppliers. Tom argues that this is why the Samsung move is “worse” for consumers: it directly affects how many drives are available, not just who sells them.

    If you wanted you could make the same argument as for Micron. Who says the Samsung NAND couldn’t be bought by other OEMs to make consumer SSDs. It’s just as possible as the Micron supply shifting to other OEMs who make consumer RAM sticks.

    To me neither are likely. The manufacturing capacity both companies are pulling from the consumer market in both cases is going to go to the higher profit margin parallel compute server market. Neither is worse than the other, they are both equally bad news for us consumers.









  • I wish people (especially journalists) would get it through their skulls already:

    • Vehicles don’t communicate with satellites.
    • GNSS (like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, or BeiDou) do not use two way communication.
    • The satellite can therefore not know the position of a GNSS receiver.
    • Instead the satellites send timestamps and their positions, the receiver uses that information to calculate its own position. If the system with the receiver needs to report its position to someone they typically use some form of terrestrial communication, like mobile phone networks.

    With that knowledge the comment by /u/imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com makes a lot more sense than whatever the article is trying to imply about satellite failures.



  • I had random issues with a laptop bluetooth adaptor around 6-7 years ago. I was able to hack together a script that wrote “0” to the /power endpoint of the PCI device in the sysfs, and then triggered a rescan of the PCI bus as a workaround.

    Maybe something similar could work for your case, depending on how the bluetooth device is connected. Just an idea, not sure if it will work for you, but may be worth looking at.
