If your household consists of more than 15 people consuming 4K content at the same time, the 10G upgrade may be worth considering.

Edit: never mind, 2.5G is now the default, so you'll probably need more than 40 people to saturate that with streaming video.

Where does the M6 geekbench score come from?

It's an estimate, for now, based on Apple's claims. I will update it to the real geekbench score when it comes out.

As someone living in the tiny country of Estonia with just about 1.2 million residents, this worries me. No one but the biggest online shops in the EU will bother with the paperwork for such a small market. I'm expecting my import options to drop sharply in the coming years because of this.

Sorry for the off topic but I absolutely love the Estonian House in NYC. Wonderful people, events, and food

Sounds like a great opportunity for folks to sue you for exactly that. Same with the imprint requirement in Germany. There are people out there looking for small businesses without an imprint to extract some money from them.

As they should. As a customer, I want to be able to hold a business accountable, and the minimum requirement for that is being able to identify the legal person responsible for that business.

Yes, I too want the smallest Twitch streamer to have to put their exact home address publicly on the internet so they have no protection from weirdos and stalkers. If a post box would suffice, sure, I'd be down. But that's explicitly not allowed.

But regardless, kinda OT. I was just trying to make a point that ignoring a law isn't without consequences.

That’s the most malicious take in the whole thread. Good job!

Respecting Do Not Track is the most important thing here. They absolutely could have forced all browser vendors to implement that feature, and force website owners to honor it. Instead, we got cookie banners.

Yeah I feel like Excel always thinks of what would be the worst way to copy/cut/paste depending on my intentions, and then it does exactly that.

I know that’s obviously not the case, but Excel is just so unintuitive in so many ways (for me).

This. Honestly, most of the arguments I read against passkeys just sound like “old man yells at cloud.”

It’s not that difficult. Spend 10 minutes researching the topic and you’re fine. Passkeys are so much more convenient than having to use passwords. When implemented right, it’s literally one click from opening the login page to being signed in. On all of my devices.

It's not difficult. It's undesired. It makes simple things slightly easier and makes difficult things impossible.

Exactly the sort of behavior that will suck in the unsophisticated user, and then leave them with no options when it fails.

> Old piece of paper is quite accessible

If stored properly.

So are digital copies, though. If stored properly.

You need a machine (hardware and software) to read digital copies, not just the digital copies.

And you need to know how to read to read paper copies. Same thing, essentially. Anyone speaking hieroglyphics fluently? Point is, if you take care of your archive and make sure it remains accessible, it doesn't really matter whether it's digital or analog.

Not at all the same thing - what equipment do you need to read hieroglyphs on top of understanding the language (which goes for digital, too)? If you have the paper and understand the language, that's it. We already can see that accessing old digital data isn't necessarily easy if it wasn't always kept on/converted to current media and formats (will we keep that up for millenia)?

And both storage can be broken, needing reconstruction.

If I were to give you a 70y old book in English vs some 70y tape with data on - which one is easier to read?

For the third time: IF you take care of the data, it’s fine in both cases. If you neglect your beloved book for 70 years and store it under a bridge, it’s going to be completely useless as well. The key part is the taking care of your medium.

The taking care of the book for 70y does not involve recreating the book over and over again to keep it readable or keeping a reading machine in working condition (or be able to recreate it). It's an entirely different level of care.

If the medium isn't destroyed, it is directly readable if it's a book, but not necessarily so in digital because hardware and software is needed - just taking care of the original medium isn't enough in digital over centuries.

Also, power consumption.
