Thrawn came entirely from the books. The hype would not have existed for his appearance in the show had the books he was in been on the quality level of the sequels.
Hell, the sequels should have been based on the Thrawn trilogy
At this point I don't want anything to have kernel level access other than the OS and some necessary hardware drivers. I'm not super familiar with MacOS, but do you know if Gatekeeper or XProtect run at ring 0? If they do run at ring 0, would you consider that anticompetitive? I'm almost certain Apple will move or did move to depreciate kernel extensions. Which means it would be the same situation Microsoft wanted to force as you described.
The other argument with Defender is you could at least have a choice to use it or not.
Doesn't really matter, it was the EU regulators that ultimately nixed the API approach saying it would be anticompetitive. I mostly blame the EU for why crowd strike could happen in the first place and why there's kernel level anti cheat.
I've been saying this for over a year. The era of free stuff on the internet is coming to a close. Be prepared to pay or self host things you're used to getting for free. It's what got me into self hosting.
The עָרִיצִים ('aritsim) are tyrants, the people who inspire fear (Job 15:20; 27:13); the root verb עָרַץ ('arats) means “to terrify” (Job 13:25).
The NET translation
Or ‘Deliver me from the enemy’s power, and from the hand of tyrants ransom me’?
It's exactly why I really like the NET translation. Getting context for why or how the original text gets translated to English is incredibly valuable to me. Here in this context I'm sure aritsim doesn't literally mean tyrant, but the people became synonymous with the definition like "Shaka, when the walls fell" means failure.
More likely mapping probable routes for supply lines. In turn if they get a self driving application, they'll sell our data back to us in the form of that application
Everyone that complained about the wintel dominance I always found humorous because their alternative was PowerPC which was developed by Apple IBM and Motorola and fabbed by IBM. Not saying it was or wasn't better, it just didn't feel like a better alternative on the surface with it being done up by IBM and Apple.
There were so many architectures and they've all fallen off the face of the earth. My favorite search engine when I was a kid ran on 2 DEC alpha servers.
You must not remember the steaming pile of shit that system 8 & 9 was. Their focus on the education market was to get a generation used to using their products and they would stay in the Apple ecosystem after school. Their investment in education was mostly a smokescreen. They've also been bullying since the iPhone 4 right after they started having success in the mobile market. Remember when they said you're holding the phone wrong?
Anyone in the industry during that time knew Steve Jobs was an asshole during his first stint at Apple and even more so when he came back from NeXT. He laid the foundation for this behavior then built an empire. The culture doesn't seem to have changed much.
Democrats made absolutely no noise when presidents of their party made powerful (IMHO unconstitutional) executive orders the last biggest being the drone strike ordered by Obama that killed an American without due process.
You can bellyache about this court, but there was no noise from Democrats when the Warren and Burger courts legislated from the bench and ignored precedent for most of last century.
My point is when Democrats do it, Republicans gripe about it but secretly like having that power when they get on office, and when Republicans do it, Democrats will gripe but will use that same power when they get in office. If you want real change vote for people that opposed it when both parties did it.
That's still a naive take. It's one thing I've noticed in this world is that most everyone is fine with authoritarianism so long as it's their team/side/tribe/party calling the shots. It's still giving power to people that shouldn't have it and all it accomplishes is that they can and will step harder on you and keep you under their boot.
It'll sink in for you when photographic evidence is no longer admissible in court
