Ahh, so T2 and M1 macs come activated from the factory. If you do a full disk wipe, they *cannot* be reinstalled until they talk to the mothership via the internet.

i wonder if google puts play.google.com in the google.com login flow so that people can't block it without breaking google login on the web

if you're doing financial work (such as cryptocurrency) relative dates such as "2 days ago" are fine... IF AND ONLY IF YOU ALSO SHOW THE FULL DATE/TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE

i wonder if i can take drivers from catalina for my current-gen intel rMBP and drop them into high sierra. was the touch bar out then?

@mhoye you're the one talking about a boss paying you for your time in your initial post to which i replied.

thinking of going back to high sierra because i can make them with autodmg. probably won't support my rMBP with good keyboard, though. :(

you can't donate cryptocurrency to wikimedia without IDing yourself.

@mhoye then what makes a boss a "boss" who has to pay you for tool maintenance and not a customer who is paying you to do the job you're paid to do?

what does it say about our world when the best laptop that can run unsigned OSes is made by dell

(yes i know the M1's boot security can be disabled, but there are no unsigned OSes that will run on it today. don't @ me.)

@ElfLord i'm jeffrey paul

@mhoye do you consider customers to be "boss"?

@nanko that i'm fat and like to eat food when my body still has sufficient reserves. it's not a philosophical thing for me, i'm just at 103kg and would like to be closer to 90kg (my goal for the moment is simply 99kg)

is there any authoritative confirmation that the M1 is made by tsmc? obviously they make a lot (all now?) of the Ax chips and I think they're the only ones doing 5nm (which is what the M1 is) - but has either Apple or TSMC actually said this is true, or has any teardown or other public information confirmed that the M1 is from TSMC?

@x what makes google bad? i think google is one of the least bad. Amazon, on the other hand, built a special on-prem datacenter for the CIA to hold their drone mass murder videos.

@Cj citizenship is assigned involuntarily at birth, and, in many cases, cannot be renounced without tremendous effort (and money!)

the geopolitical effort to get nations to permit ICBMs to approach their ports without automatic nuclear response will be a significant fraction of the effort and money and time as it is to build starship itself

@JauneBaguette where is japan

@duncansan @sneak never heard of it. also i'm @sneak not @sneak.
