<p>I run our office IT, and WiFi 7 is just better at managing congestion. We have a floor in a busy building and 5Ghz is chaos. 6E is fine, it's just strangely old for a company like Apple.</p>

<p>It's on both. Apple should probably have caught this in beta considering how widespread Electron apps are, and have worked with Electron to fix it or they should've worked around it (which Microsoft would probably have done).</p>

<p>Power generated on a train is probably significantly more expensive than power you can pull from the grid. Most of Amtrak's network does not have power so I assume they rely on generators on the train.</p>

<p>Almost all of the other things you want to get rid of are legal requirements in some regions. Auto start-stop is generally to meet emissions targets. European safety regulations have made all of the following required on all new vehicles sold since mid 2024: AEB detecting cars/pedestrians/cyclists, intelligent speed assist, lane departure assist, reversing camera or sensors, drowsiness warning and a few others. For any car or platform that will at some point end up on the European market you can thus expect manufacturers to make all of these standard.<p>There's a cost attached to them, but it was decided that that cost is worth the significant benefits in road safety for both the people in the vehicle and the people around the vehicle.</p>

<p>DPI happens on a UniFi Gateway. That could be the same hardware as the controller when it's a UniFi device like a Dream Machine/Dream Router, but it doesn't have to be. The Gateway will do the DPI and report the numbers to the controller where they are stored and displayed.</p>

<p>The last few years it's been tougher and tougher to get them. Even in Europe you can now only buy them directly from Sony, and Amazon in a few countries. Sony is not selling them via any other retailers or operators at all from this year onwards.</p>

<p>I still really like Sony phones. Excellent hardware. They have no online services they are trying to push, they just want you to buy their phones. As a result, the stock software is very clean Google Android without much extra. But they're not available in every region, and quite expensive. Used to have very short software support but now they do 4 major Android version updates / 6 years of security updates.<p>You get no ecosystem benefits though, it's really just plain Android.</p>

<p>That depends on how they're set up. There is no real protocol difference between MasterCard and Visa debit vs credit. Delhaize in Belgium also uses them and you can definitely use all types of credit cards with them (at least Visa/MC and even AmEx).</p>

<p>Internally at Facebook you could also just call React components from XHP. Not very relevant on what you see on Facebook now as a user, but in older internal tools built with XHP it made it very easy to just throw in React components.<p>When you'd annotate a React component with ReactXHP (if I remember correctly), some codegen would generate an equivalent XHP components that takes the same props, and can just be used anywhere in XHP. It worked very well when I last used it!<p>Slightly less related but still somewhat, they have an extension to GraphQL as well that allows you to call/require React components from within GraphQL. If you look at a random GraphQL response there's a good chance you will see things like `"__dr": "GroupsCometHighlightStoryAlbumAttachmentStyle.react"`. I never looked into the mechanics of how these worked.</p>

<p>I'm far from an expert, but what is most likely is:<p>- The underlying firmware for the Marvell WiFi controller that Sony provided when they updated the PSP to support WPA (with AES) also supports WPA2 (with AES).<p>- Sony never set it up on the userspace side, perhaps for stability reasons or because there was no demand and they preferred playing it safe.<p>- The patches swap out the userspace bits to talk WPA AES with the ones for a WPA2 AES. The difference isn't huge, it's mostly changing data in some management frames and configuring the key exchange differently.<p>It's very impressive that that developer found the right things to patch, with the right values.<p>Looks like it has been in the works for a while.<p><a href="https://psp-archive.github.io/apps/wpa2.html" rel="nofollow">https://psp-archive.github.io/apps/wpa2.html</a><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2005/04/4865-2/" rel="nofollow">https://arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2005/04/4865-2/</a></p>
