☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you are stewarding an
apple tree, you'll fucking deliver apples till the day you die ; you do not come up with a way to make the
apple tree make shitty plums.
mircea_popescu: "
apple COULD buy russia ; meanwhile icbc bought south america"
mircea_popescu: ahahaha i thought you meant that
apple pr piece, i was totally lost here.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; intel knows him, "one of the more accurate predictors of
apple's earnings" ; guy's been announcing "
apple building new company" bla bla for a year
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-05#1577731 << also 2005 (if you search the logs knowing what you're looking for) is a stand in for "decade of tail end of somewhat sane computing". linux on desktop hasn't wrecked the ecosystem yet,
apple is selling unix boxes (and not phones), ibm is selling professional laptops, no reddit, no smartphone culture, no facebook, etc.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: Why is
Apple pie American when Apples are other?
mircea_popescu: with what money, with all their
apple stock that could buy russia ?
scriba: Logged on 2016-11-15: [19:26:43] <mircea_popescu> no dude, when
apple.com was registgered it was registered to a key.
mircea_popescu: no dude, when
apple.com was registgered it was registered to a key.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i guess in your view, perhaps no viable conflicts would arise in gns? say, two owners of two distinct pgp keys claiming ownership of "
apple.com". some kind of due process is to take place, presumably
a111: Logged on 2016-11-12 15:50 mircea_popescu: set up your client to pick two-of-three, give it 1 republic and 2 reich servers. it'll give you republic for all the things reich doesn't know and reich for stuff like
apple.com
Framedragger: incidentally, iirc
apple does have a key for security@
apple.com or somesuch; would be amusing if later on, a 'security' intern at
apple (who was the one to create the key as nobody else bothered with it) came forward..
Framedragger: oh, that is for certain. "are you
apple? really - prove it."

☟︎ ben_vulpes: the
apple liquor industry is spinning up as well.
mircea_popescu: afgain with this
apple could buy russia nonsense. why are they so stupid ?
ben_vulpes: somewhere in the back of my head i'm balancing the tradeoffs of continuing to use
apple machines as ssh terminals into actually-usable machines vs cutting over to linux or a bsd wholesale
phf: asciilifeform: that was the case since forever, but they not only ensure that you can't
apple from outside, they also ensure that you have to be on the upgrades bandwagon. with my 10.9.5 i'm running into things that "require newever version"
ben_vulpes: but that box on the table is the thing that produces and signs builds, and when
apple says upgrade, it gets upgraded because it's a day to unfuck the toolchain after they break it and some completely unknowable amount of time to reverse engineer whatever the fuck xcode is doing.
ben_vulpes: and if you think you can do that with not-the-latest-xcode-and-os i have a build here that needs sucking through
apple's garden hose
ben_vulpes: for the reprehensibly obstinate and misc log readers the only reason one could possibly *need* an
apple box were if one came from such a bad life that producing builds for
apple's walled garden was a regular requirement
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: but /why/ would you use an
apple product?
trinque: you can throw in a chopped up green
apple too
phf: pete_dushenski: i looked at eizos, but it's another minefield. they seem to have a "prosumer" line, that's the same trash you get elsewhere. and then there's pro line that's 2k+, but you can't just judge by the price. gotta know what you're doing. hence hunting for
apple cinemas, i know they worked well for me in the past.
phf: ha, i'm at this moment trying to find a couple of matte
apple cinema displays. they seem to have completely disappeared from ebay/amazon/... (they've been discontinued for a while now)
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the unboxing experience is strongly reminiscent of early
apple ben_vulpes: macs belong to
apple, customer just gets to depreciate them while running xcode or chrome
pete_dushenski: mats: all good. looks like the
apple 'developer' page hosts all the old ones after all. surprising but true.
mod6: also, if you want, i can try to run the above command on this
apple macbook pro i have access to; if you like.
mats: i suspect
apple left their gfx driver debug switch on in their latest update to osx
mircea_popescu: shinohai the strat is to go after cases. "we have these here three horny fifteen year olds, ergo your site is banned. what, they're three out of fifty million ? ha-hA! you're not on the usg list of google
apple etc, so your 50mn don't count. only fb's 50 million (which they misrepresent as 5bn) count. LISTS!!"
mircea_popescu: "i will now make
apple pie out of turnips, because here in new york all we have is turnips. mmmmm delicious
apple pie, new-york style. the angel morni told me so!"
mircea_popescu: (in case anyone thought "let's add fluoride to water" is some sort of novel insanity : as american as
apple pie. this schmuck added radium for the EXACT same purpose - it'll strengthen your teeth, cure gout and female anoyingness.)
ben_vulpes: a) /delivery/, generally one levels etc after pulling it off pallet but w/e, b) it's not a total shoop in the style of that retro pornshot mircea_popescu posted with the
apple kb?
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-19: [15:34:12] <asciilifeform> in other lulz, 'In the last two weeks many security professionals have praised
Apple for reacting lightning fast to the PEGASUS threat that has been actively exploited in the wild. This praise was given because the parties involved kept samples from independent 3rd party researchers and did not reveal any detailed information about the kernel
mircea_popescu: what exactly "libreboot is no longer part of the gnu project" is supposed to mean is anyone's guess. the whole existence of gnu is in the form of licenses. they can't retroactively change these. so they'll what, move to mit/bsd licenses in the future ? nobody gives a shit. are they selling to
apple ? wouldn't be the first time fraudulent operator tried this under the guise of "good reasonz, guise!!!1"
mircea_popescu: but hey, at least the-shithead-bureaucrat-who-inherited-
apple gets to have his day in the sun about whether the glyph for "gun" should be "water pistol"
BingoBoingo: So true "Imagine a rutabaga or an
apple, a living harbinger of an adult plant like Christ in His manger presaging the deliverance of all mankind boiled, baked, fried, sauteed, steamed, sun-dried (poor raisins!), microwaved, or roasted to death. Imagine crunching into a fresh green pepper and listening to it scream as your molars do their dirty work. "
shinohai: "at least he's up to date with the latest in computing technology from windows/
apple/mit etc" <<< lolz

mircea_popescu: much like a definition of an
apple is not an
apple ; just so a spec is not a program.
pete_dushenski:
http://archive.is/J86hJ << speaking of problems chez one infinite loop drive, "
Apple changed the focus of the project, shifting from an emphasis on designing and producing an automobile to building out the underlying technology for an autonomous vehicle."
thestringpuller: Framedragger: just use
apple's bluetooth earwaxphones << Glad I'm not the only one who discovered despite who clean I try to keep the headphones. Earwax gunks up into the metal screens and inevitably fucks up the sound.
mircea_popescu: "this is the tyre store" "do you have tyres ?" "yes, here's an
apple audio jack" "this is not a tyre" "allegedly."
ben_vulpes: subject of ipad,
apple is picking a fight with the 3.5mm audio jack

☟︎ mircea_popescu: other than for that curl, i totally beat
apple's watch by like 30 years.
mircea_popescu: hey, whatever works. tho in my experience
apple never made usable anything.
phf: mircea_popescu: i am, i am ashamed to admit it, feel comfortable in the warm embrace of
apple's unix boxes, so transitioning out has been slow and painful.
mircea_popescu: html5 had a fighting chance as "not just text" ; it lost. this shit is dumber still, with a larger ground to cover still, with less talent and intellectual capacity involved ; and with the corporate nonsense that formed the original impetuus, from
apple "app store" to cisco via intel/amd fritzchips etc dying left and right. the bottom's already fell out of
apple store, there's no revenue made, and all these idiots can go back
mircea_popescu: even something like
apple - here today, gone tomorrow. alphabet inc was fdounded... 2015. ie it's not yet 2 years old. on it goes.
mircea_popescu: any arbitrary pick of my slaves has more money than jobs had when retook
apple.
PeterL: actually, I wouldn't be suprised if meth would dissolve better in
apple juice than plain water, so maybe he was telling the truth?
PeterL: who is going to claim a powder is
apple juice? but yes, would not nescesarily all be dissolved
mircea_popescu: how much cash, how much asset and how much goodwill does
apple have ?
mircea_popescu: you're getting the brunt of it for your "sin" of being naively open, but whatever, you're a big enough boy to survive it i'd hope : the above orcish "when stated plainly they laugh so whatever, the face trick seems to work" is a large part of why people like rms failed without meaning to and without realising they were. much like the hurtless cut of the
apple carpace.
mircea_popescu: literally, the only point problems start, is when jay goes into shop and wants to buy an ipad because he thinks this is the only shop and therefore must be that
apple concept store he's heard about.
phf: i had that happen to me too by the way, it's my day to day 2011 macbook pro, and even the chassis got bent. all i had to do is order replacement battery and carefully apply a rubber mallet. good luck doing that on recent
apple machine(tm)
mircea_popescu: iirc
apple still hasn't figured out the wonder of multitasking.
mircea_popescu: but from a cultural (as opposed to a civilisational) perspective, they're doing a (belated) digestion of a large field. ie, they're finally
apple-izing it.
mircea_popescu: very much the 1800s computer, really. including
apple hipsterism and the whole array of social peribehaviours
phf: well, more specifically "Records provided by
Apple showed that tirm@me.com conducted an iTunes transaction using IP Address 109.86.226.203 on or about July 31, 2015. The same IP Address was used on the same day to login into the KAT Facebook."
