This headline bothers me: it's simple, expedient and even whimsical, but it describes the situation as if the robots have agency and an innate drive to seek jobs, and by continuous self improvement, are closing in on human candidates.
Most operating systems have chosen a different tradeoff, reducing fresh reads from persistent storage, keeping files cached in RAM, which may work out to equivalent power savings.
> Mercifully, subpixel has become less relevant over the years: retina displays really don't need it, and the subpixel layout on phones, prevents the trick from working (without major work). On newer versions of macos, subpixel-aa of text is disabled at the OS level by default.
Speaking of mercy, I wish Apple had disabled it only on hidpi displays and chosen a longer deprecation window for normal displays.
I prefer keeping displays at a distance slightly longer than my arm. This completely hides the slight blur of subpixel antialiasing.
Now a 1440p has significantly degraded text rendering (even though other graphics look great) and if you want to use an external display, it must be 4K or 5K to not get a blurry, thin mess.

Apparently the companies use artful language to imply certain processes without specifically naming them:
"All three companies make green promises on their websites and in promotional videos, using buzzwords like "sustainability" and "environmental solutions." One Waste Connections video goes as far as to say, "sustainability and becoming more green … have been hallmarks and backbones of Waste Connections from the day we formed the company."
But if any company specifically contracted for recycling and did not recycle, it is a breach of contract with possible repercussions.
Recycling requires that the materials return to the market at a certain point, but it does not require a short window of time between collection and processing of materials.
This is where some creative lawyering can go a long way: if you can say that you're going to process it at some indefinite point in the future, you're not comitting fraud unless the contract defines an specific time limit, specific technical processes, and an specific destination for the processed materials.
I don't think commercial contracts that meet all these criteria are viable at scale.
I don't know if I should be reassured or concerned that the insularity and provincial-but-seemingly-worldly spirit of journalism professionals is apparently equal to that of technology professionals.

You can defend a position without snidely representing other positions, similar or opposite to yours, but if you choose to make so, make sure you've correctly named your target.
I saved the paper for reading later, so this may be already discussed in it, but enough information leaks through the Referer HTTP header when browsing the web in a traditional browser.
I've never inspected Recaptcha (on gstatic.com), but it does some degree of tracking, ostensibly to detect unusual usage patterns and pick who gets to help train Google's ML models with distorted street objects, and who's never shown the captcha window.
Yep. I make some changes that SIP would catch, but I'm mostly comfortable with the boot into Recovery -> run a script -> boot back again. It's not kext stuff, though.
Not that it's novel — there are corporations specialized in tools to monitor employee activity — but there's no bamboozling in that claim: monitoring nearly every activity, no matter how intrusive, is what almost software and hardware does now.
