It’s a wonder that someone hasn’t implemented a similar wrapper for WDDM. I suppose they’d rather force the vendors to play nicely.

Works great under the nails though

This thing costs about the same as one good set of nails

increasing school enrollment

He went a lot farther than that.

Moving down the stack, Unix systems have never been big on supporting arbitrary drivers: remember that Unix systems were typically coupled to specific machines and vendors. NT, on the other hand, intended to be an OS for “any” machine and was sold by a software company, so supporting drivers written by others was critical. As a result, NT came with the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), an abstraction to support network card drivers with ease. To this day, manufacturer-supplied drivers are just not a thing on Linux, which leads to interesting contraptions like the ndiswrapper, a very popular shim in the early 2000s to be able to reuse Windows drivers for WiFi cards on Linux.

“From The Article”

Besides the fact that present-day battery technology makes this impossible, modern smartphones display a very obvious indicator when apps are using the microphone.

Hotword detection notwithstanding, as that happens at the hardware level.

Verbosity and hair-trigger outrage

What condescending claptrap. Get off OPs back, dingus.

The two are not mutually exclusive. The downvote button is not an “I don’t like this” button.

They were keeping their promise of 10 years of Lightning ecosystem support. Dropping the old iPod connector was highly controversial.

It makes about as much sense as the typical ones anyway. Or, like, the output to nmap --help or something.

That’s the joke.

I hope.

Case in point.

Yes

Can confirm. Happened to a friend within the past month. Theirs wasn’t even on the list of affected models.

Correct. The only thing the IRS cares about is whether you have an SSN or an ITIN.

Picture it: You’re the IRS. You’re basically Santa Claus. You know all.

Do you tattle? Why?

Would it get a few people deported? Maybe. Maybe not.

Would it do anything to solve the systemic issues that result in undocumented immigrants in the first place? Definitely not.

Would it do anything at all to deter future undocumented immigrants? Not a chance.

Would it disincentivize undocumented immigrants from paying taxes, reducing the overall revenue you can collect? Absolutely!

Does this also apply to criminal enterprises and other such persons or groups with secrets? You betcha!

Would it set a dangerous precedent on the slippery slope into authoritarianism? You tell me!

We don’t let government agencies share information like that for obvious reasons.
