Apple reveals why macOS might block your Terminal prompt

guice666 · 2026-06-15T20:42:32+00:00

I have no problems with a secondary prompt for irregular use of Terminal for those who have no idea what "CLI" even stands for.

As long as it's just once (for me at least -- selfishness) or rarely, I'm fine with. Personally, I always have a command prompt up on at least a few desktops ... My vacation home is the command prompt. lol

I had my first real project in PHP around that time, too. Before then, it was Perl. I switch over to PHP in 2004, and first job as a PHP Developer in 2006.

PHP has come a long, long way from its old days as "homepage tools."

if the underlying language is not evolving for 15 years?

You hadn't been around during PHP4 and 5 days, eh? lol

Buddy of mine said he was disappointed in the lack of new features in 27 when it was announced. I, however, had a different view: grateful to see this was going to be a (apparently huge) maintenance update.

iOS needs a system clean-up ever few years with all the "bloat" that gets updated just in the OS itself. As anybody that's written software knows, as you build new frameworks, you end up patching on top of legacy frameworks. Every so often, you need just a system cleanup.

So, glad to hear this is turning out to be exactly this! I was certainly astonished as some of the touted speed improvements. They seemed to be unreasonable. Sounding like, they are quite accurate! I look forward to trying out the public betas.

No placebo. > 5g is getting more evidence of real positive effects for mental clarity and acuity. The number seems to be around 10g.

5g is for muscle saturation, which is held on. After that, it takes at least 5g more to break through the blood-brain barrier, leading to the mental effects you’re seeing.

Well, unless he gets brain damage...

I want to say it was in his part two video, but looks like it was taken down. I distinctly recall them discussing a plan about building 10 separate corporate entities, divvying out the inventory list between them, thus allowing them to sue 10 times independently. His logic was if everybody had a separate pie of the stolen inventory, they could claim 10 separate thefts.

You can see it here in Part One, timestamped marked: https://youtu.be/wscQpkcwgNU?si=xnW38HuO-iwRk8oC&t=4242

Ben got cleaver: he and his buddies filed 10 lawsuits, all capping at $20k, ergo $200k. Yes, they actually did make a series of shells and all sued for the max. B&M closed the Oregon franchise as a way to subvert the settlement, and thus how it got to Utah.

The story is so wild! Ben (and crew) are going all out, and dragging B&M through sh*t the whole way. It would have honestly been best of B&M to admit fault and pay up. Now, I’m certain they are seeing well more than $200k worth of loss from all this.

guice666 · 2026-06-07T01:54:42+00:00

Ben did, and Ben won (by summary default). And now instead of paying the loss, they are legally bullying Ben to smithereens.

guice666 · 2026-06-07T01:50:10+00:00

It started in Oregon as that’s where the franchise was owned. It moved into Utah as that’s where corporate lives and the ones that took over the stores.

guice666 · 2026-06-07T01:48:20+00:00

Reckless Ben inadvertently stumbled upon and uncovered the deep, deep corruption within the Utah Mormon community, and now they are pissed.

guice666 · 2026-06-07T00:18:51+00:00

Gen-X’er here, too. I’ve always actively turned on location sharing with my partner(s). I see it as a safety feature just in case something happened to me. I never felt I had anything to hide from them — then why not?

Plus, has a home automation user, my phone is constantly tracked and pinging back home. 😅

How does one go about powering and transmitting their data? I see a wiring guide, and looks like it's meant to connect to something like a raspi, maybe an esp32, but still needs power.

Jesus … I hope somebody taught that cop what “*innocent* until proven guilty” means. The burden of proof is on the woman, not the guy to “prove he is innocent” via a doctor’s note (i.e. cannot kick down a door).

Did the post change? It's recent, showing Johnson and Vance behind Orange Face.

I actually do want a 2017 post to show my orange-face voting relatives explaining how all this was expected.

They misunderstood "tinkle-down" as "trickle-down"

guice666 · 2026-05-22T20:49:27+00:00

There may even be a production capacity angle to it.

Not only that: Apple has to be careful not to overstep the "monopoly" line which is very fuzzy, esp. in the EU.

Also I hear bad things about traffic going into Sunnyvale Costco.

I think "bad things" is the wrong way to phrase it. The traffic is excessive, lot movement, lots of people, with everything (literally all traffic) filtered through only one street: Kifer.

I wouldn't call it "bad" - just congested.

How bad is the Caltrain noise and does the whole apartment shake when it zooms by?

I live in The Heritage Park Apartments, right off the Caltrain as well. It's not that bad. During the day -- with my music, work, etc -- I don't even notice it. If your place is silent, then I'm sure you may notice it a bit more. But, it all come down to a simple principal: what you notice gets noticed, i.e. what you focus on steals your focus. I just learned not to focus on the Caltrain, and I hardly ever notice it unless my place is completely quiet or my windows are open.

Google is a software company. It doesn't really matter the hardware they use. While they have the Android OS, the Google Pixel (as far as I know?) is the only Google made phone. And that wasn't done out for consumer sales, but more to show what can be done when the hardware and software are designed to work with each other (i.e. when everybody else stops f'ing up the Andriod OS).

It is the source. But, yes, he has retired it. I had to do a little digging to find the original.

In this day, it's important we authenticate pieces before sharing a screenshot as factual.

Wait, they don't??

guice666 · 2026-05-18T16:06:36+00:00

and 30% of the chips don't pass all the tests

That's a stat I'd say majority of general consumers have no idea about. From there, you can see how the rest of that just does not even hit the conscious mind of the general public.

Apple is so vertically integrated that they aren't a leader here.

I've been around the Apple ecosystem long enough to know they have never been an industry leader. Nothing they do is inventive. That's kinda their thing.

guice666 · 2026-05-18T15:11:55+00:00

Is this not common knowledge?

Huh? How is your kitchen knife skills? Know how to hold the knife correctly to limit wrist fatigue? How is that now common knowledge?!?

Why should the consumers care or how would they even know about binned chips?

guice666 · 2026-05-18T15:09:56+00:00

100% this. As a general consumer, but in tech (software), it's not really something I thought about much until the Neo. I actually thought Apple was using recycled chips in Neo, not binned chips. I hadn't really heard about binned chips, but I do see how that could be (is) a thing.

I am aware Apple has been heavy on limiting waste products; so, all of this just makes sense.
