  • Apple's "find my" network can find your phone when it's turned off, because the phone continues to transmit low-energy Bluetooth which other devices in that network receive and report. So if you're in a crowd with a switched-off iPhone and other people have their devices on, it's still possible for your location to be tracked. There may be other modern phones that do this too, continuing to transmit low power signals to nearby devices. If you really don't want to be tracked, you can't be sure Airplane Mode or turning the phone off will be sufficient.

  • Yes, it's Linux.

  • You don't get the same feeling of suspicion about what the machine is up to. Windows 11 feels like the computer spends just enough time doing what you want that you don't walk away forever in frustration, but most of the resources are spent doing unspecified things in the background for people you don't know, who are very interested in what you're doing. My Windows XP machine's CPU scores 75 on Passmark, while my Windows 11 machine scores about 46,000. But the speed at which they do many ordinary things isn't so different, because Windows 11 does so much heavy stuff in the background. My Linux machines (scoring between 8,000 and 28,000) all feel tangibly faster than Win 11.

  • "They will be prosecuting anyone involved to the fullest extent of the law," Trump said in a statement. "Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America."

    Ah, like they did with the violent perpetrators of the January 6th insurrection, until you pardoned them all and set them free.
