4·11 days agoYes, the cell tower can see the unique IMEI of your phone, so as long as the cell radio is on, the cell company can at least see what tower that IMEI is in range of. And if they can track the purchase of the phone to you, then they can identify your signal.

Yeah this sounds like a disk/ssd hardware problem to me. Possibly only one part of the disk is bad and giving inconsistent results.
6·13 days agoRemember 10 years ago when the FTC blocked the merger between Staples and Office Depot? They said that Amazon wasn’t a viable competitor.
“only Staples and Office Depot had the scale and infrastructure to fulfill the needs of major corporations.
The agency stated these two companies were often the only viable bidders for major corporate contracts, and eliminating their competition would create a monopoly in that segment. The companies countered that Amazon Business and other suppliers were emerging as competitors in the B2B space. In May 2016, a federal judge sided with the FTC, granting an injunction to halt the merger, and the companies terminated the agreement.”

As you mentioned, Alice’s Restaurant. I used to listen to that every year on the drive to my grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving dinner.
10·2 months agoThe key enrollment that Mint did sounds like registering the Machine Owner Key (MOK). That basically tells the bios that anything signed with that key should be permitted. The MOK is especially required when compiling your own drivers. Anything shipped by a Linux distro should already be signed so that the shim will permit it. SecureBoot is more about making sure your boot files haven’t been tampered with rather than being about preventing the owner from doing something.
You should already be able to boot any modern Linux OS that has support for SecureBoot. Only if you compile your own drivers or kernel would you need to use a MOK. If you do need that, you should be able to enroll another MOK or copy the MOK key files from the Mint install and use those keys to sign drivers in any other Linux distro.
The cli program
mokutilwill let you view and export your enrolled MOKs.
Text would be more useful than screenshots. Text is smaller to store, easier to translate, and easier to shape to whatever screen a person is using. :)
Use brew to update the core Unix utils such as bash, tar, sed, etc to the latest GNU releases. The mac has really outdated BSD-based versions.

4·2 months agoIt’s common in the US Tech industry. It’s considered “voluntary” because you could always say no and find a different job, or you could negotiate the removal of that clause. Often at the beginning they give you an opportunity to list your existing obligations that would be exempted. Always read the fine print of your employment agreement.
Now, if Tesla were to start pushing updates to older cars that made them artificially degraded or less responsive than the newer cars (as Apple is accused of doing), then that would be a worthy outrage story.
Thank you for this! I can’t believe I didn’t know about PTA before.
