> Since 2018 OeBB said all its trains "run on electricity generated exclusively by hydropower, solar and wind power... a milestone for climate protection in Austria"
This is easy to debunk. Austria is part of EU grid, and other states produce big part of their electricity from coal and gas. Austria imports that electricity!
Plus some trains operated by Oebb are international!
So according to the company’s 2022 annual report, they source power from 8 hydroelectric and 6 solar power plants, all of which they operate themselves, as well as 4 partnering hydroelectric plants. The rest of their electricity needs is acquired from the market but checked for proof of origin.
Obviously this only covers railway infrastructure in Austria as they have no influence over other countries.
I guess it's one of the usual numbers games in everything related to climate.
"Each day, our trains pull x MWh of energy from the grid and we're paying renewable energy providers for y >= x MWh - therefore we can say our trains run on 100% renewable power."
Whether or not some of the electron domino that finds its end in a train's motor coils happen to have started in a coal plant doesn't matter for this calculation.
You can like this or not, but I guess there aren't a lot of better options as long as renewable and fossil power sources are both supplying the same grid and energy is effectively fungible.
> about debugging our system at work that’s coupled to a SAP service in Wisconsin
I think article is a bit naive. If your system is designed this way, you probably have no control over it. Maybe some legacy stuff, maybe you jump too fast between 300 microservices...
It hat case you need other methods, like very good logging. If you can replay every interaction with that service, you do not have to decouple it!
>You can watch the item as often as you want, but the terms specify that you can’t “sell, rent, lease, distribute, publicly perform or display, broadcast, sublicense or otherwise assign any right to the Content to any third party.”
Terms can specify what they want, but enforcement is another thing. I am pretty sure, you can resell movie DVDs in any country.
This is talking about digitally purchased content. You would have to first remove the DRM to sell them to someone (unless you buy one movie per account)
GNU tools are generally one command away on macOS. So is nmap, and it takes a lot less than 2 minutes to have it running directly on the host. What's ARM incompatiblw with? Certainly not Linux distros, certainly not GNU tools, and certainly not networking. Not to mention that for most things that don't run native, Rosetta2 makes them work at near native performance.
You can also run Linux on a VM if you want. With the native macOS virtualisation stack in UTM it takes about 2 seconds to have a full Linux VM up and running.
Yes ever since the M1 chip it’s just annoying to work on the M1. Day to day it doesn’t matter much but it wastes days of times the few times i ran into an issue. I wish companies would stop defaulting to macs for development
Depends on which model you get and how you configure it. You can easily get up to 96GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD, if that's what you really want. It's damn bloody expensive to do that, but the possibility is there.
So, you can't legitimately say that the memory is always low and the disk is always small. That's just a configuration thing. If you don't configure it right, then I don't hold out much sympathy for you.
He, I asked for Windows laptop. I am the only one in like 30 people.
My laptop has 64GB RAM and 2TB ssd. And unlike Mac, it drives 4x4k displays via USB4 hub. Even with all those extras, it costs less than Macbook, and I have some hardware budget still available:)
And it came with unlocked bios, no spy software... Windows are basically unsupported by our IT...
Depends on what Mac you get, but 64GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD with support for four 4k displays is pretty easy with the current MacBook Pro. It might be more expensive than your garden variety Windows laptop, or maybe not if you find one of the great deals that are frequently offered by B&H Photo or Adorama.
No spy software will be installed, and the latest version of macOS is making it harder and harder for people to create malware that can easily infect Macs.
Most extensions are single person projects run on GitHub. Imagine if their Gmail account, or phone SIM gets breached and backdoored version reaches Extension Store.
Plus several extensions were just sold to highest bidder!
Sure, but it does not address the question I have placed for you. Can you name the extension you consider shady? A lot of projects on github are one man operations.
Ublock Origin installed from Firefox Extension Web Store. I have no idea how this was verified and distributed. I do not trust webstore as a channel. Also user may easily click on "Unblock" or "Unlock" and get something completely different.
If this extension came from my Linux distro package, or bundled into Firefox binary, I would trust it.
With Brave I have no need to use extensions. Everything is bundled and can be enabled via about:flags.
It is not about crashing, but security. Chromium based browsers have multiple layers of sandboxing and hardening. Webpage rendered basically runs in several virtual machines that are very hard to breach.
Mozilla had process based isolation (mainly due old code base). That is far less effective. Some things like GPU access are not sandboxed at all!
>Google remains the default search engine provider inside the Firefox browser until 2023 for an estimated $400 million to $450 million per year.
Mozilla is a multibilion corporation. They DO have resources for proper rewrite in Rust. How they spend their money is another thing!
Old code base was good excuse in 2016! Brave Software Inc is much smaller company, and they do advanced stuff like their own search engine!
GPU sandboxing landed in 110 on Windows. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox/Process_model#GPU_... says it will be likely added to OSX and Linux with Webrender. Web Content processes are already sandboxed so I wouldn't say it's a joke ;) - sure they lag behind Chromium but Google has way more resources than Mozilla.
