I'm surprised that given Apples love of sandboxing, especially on iOS, that XNU doesn't have something similar to namespaces or jails.

IIRC they went for policy based sandboxing with Seatnelt and SIRP. That is pretty darn nice for gui apps, but not very good for things like containers.

If it can charge as fast as filling up a tank, who cares?

There are already large battery swapping schemes in China with thousands of stations. Even if we don't get to 5-100 charging at 5C+ there's nothing stopping this from not being a problem.

If the arrow of time is to be believed, many of the complaints and gripes and "well aktuallys" from 10 years ago are solved already. And there seems to be no slowing down.


That assumes there are chargers and that they're available. Not a problem in big cities, but it will complicate road trips, and "range anxiety" remains a real concern for first time EV buyers.

Battery swapping is talked about a lot but AFAICT it hasn't really been successful anywhere. It just seems like a lot more hassle than plugging in, and with charging speeds constantly increasing the payoff is shrinking too.


You can’t realistically swap out the battery on a full sized vehicle. It’s too large. The Chinese battery swaps are mostly for bikes and smaller vehicles.

Fast charging would fix it. If you could go from 15 to 80% in truly under 10 mins that would work too.


I'd also go for "less computer". Just because it's an EV doesn't mean I don't want what is basically a bog standard Corolla. Physical switches. Not 5 massive touchscreens that all suck. Cloth seats. No mega futuristic design. Just a damn car.

Because batteries are still expensive, this is a tough sell for most of the market. You would be removing lots of things that most buyers associate with more luxury cars, but not actually saving much of the cost and therefore not reducing the price that much.

I think (hope) this niche will start to make a comeback as the underlying tech continues to get cheaper. You are starting to see glimmers of it in the low low end with some micromobility cars in Europe just providing phone holders instead of screens.


And get 100% of the conflict and air pollution

Endpoint security software on the Mac, if it's worth the hit to system resources that is, inspect every call to exec and fork that occur in the kernel and also inspect those for known attack vectors, malicious scripts, etc. The one I have installed on my work Mac will kill reverse shell attempts before they are run. Will stop keychain attacks. Infostealing (as they can also get every file system op as they are happening in the kernel).

Gatekeeper and Xprotect are good, but there's only so much they can do.


Which do you use/recommend?

You can disable SIP very easily.

My M4 mini is probably the fastest computer/watt in my home. And it was the cheapest.

Not even a bad little gaming machine on the rare occasion


That describes essentially every state in the Union. Illinois is red with big dots of blue.

Blue states are states where the big dots of blue are big enough to outweigh the rural red. The only major difference between Indiana and Illinois is Chicago.


I should not need to show an anonymous TSA agent my genitals, even if they are in black and white on some monitor theyre viewing in some back room, to get on a plane.

> I should not need to show an anonymous TSA agent my genitals

Unless you want to!


I'd agree with this, but TSA scanners do not show anatomical details.

At least currently the images are never seen by a person and are deleted after ATR.

Sure thing, and my Facebook account was hard deleted when I asked them to.

Are you implying that Mark Zuckerberg is a liar, sir?

You'll need to add a /s, else most here won't realize you're being sarcastic.

You are, right?


"Fool me twice...can't get fooled again"

Sorry the poster didn't put a specific, individualized carve out for all of the disabled groups of people who would obviously be allowed to use whatever method in whatever imagined, hypothetical future, and not kicked to the curb like trash.

It is generally more productive to assume charity in the people you are talking to, that of course no one is going to ignore that some people need cars to get around.


If they don't want to be replied to like they believe in absolutes then they should not speak in absolutes. I'm so tired of having to “““assume””” that people would be inclusive of me and my needs when they outright say the opposite. Do better.

Says the ableist who doesn't care about people who are physically or mentally unable to drive a car.

... and yet, a place that is built for humans first instead of cars first would likely do just that.
