I don't know how Apple has evaded regulatory scrutiny for their refusal to sign Nvidia's eGPU drivers since 2018.

I've tried several times before to install syncserver using those pip instructions, on multiple platforms, without success.

New comment by bangonkeyboard in "iOS 26 Shows Unusually Slow Adoption Months After Release"

> Apple now continues to support older operating systems with security updates, allowing users to remain on iOS 18 without immediate pressure to update or forfeit critical patches. This makes it much easier for users to remain on older software.

This is an incredible untruth to end this article on. MacRumors' own reporting (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/19/ios-18-forced-ios-26-up...) showed Apple denying the existing iOS 18.7.3 security update to iPhones, and then shutting down the beta channel workaround the same day that MR drew attention to it, leaving iOS 26.2 as the only option.

I want to be optimistic, but Dye was just a symptom. The rot in modern Apple design must run much deeper.

> For CLIs - most reasonable commands either have a `-h`, `--help`, `-help`, `/?`, or what have you. And manpages exist. Hunt the verb isn't really a problem for CLIs.

"Hunt the verb" means that the user doesn't know which commands (verbs) exist. Which a neophyte at a blank console will not. This absolutely is a problem with CLIs.

There are already ads in Apple Maps: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255060954

Can you touch on how some of these patches were made/backported from and to closed-source binaries? Which underlying proxy is Aqua Proxy built on?

> Tai disagreed that Tai's model is simply the trapezoidal rule, on the basis that her model uses the summed areas of rectangles and triangles rather than trapezoids.

Oh my god.

Apparently "compact" here refers to the five lines of actual code.
