Calling it “tailworm” feels like alarmism to promote their find more.
Would only show worm behavior if machines within the tailnet had the right settings and also were members of other tailnets with those settings but then it would require someone in that tailnet to have another tailnet with the right settings…
And warfare of course, the stuff they won’t openly talk about but we might find out about months or years down the line when it’s used to destroy another school or hospital with people inside.
Really feels the hinge is a vanity project from the design team, similar to using heavy curved glass on the Vision Pro.
One too complex with tolerances so tight manufacturing inconsistency or dirt can be catastrophic the other too heavy for purpose and the translucency unneeded on an enclosed vr headset. But if you talk to product design people both are things that look great on a resume.
They were already eligible for damages as per the class-action settlement, but several Stanford professors actively opted out of the blanket class-action settlement to pursue Anthropic individually for higher damages.
Every time you access your bank on different devices normalizes it so that visiting a typo domain would show the dialog and many would just click through.
The endless struggle of professional iPad users trying to get their hardware to act like something it insists it is not.
Ultimately the team behind it doesn't want to relinquish control to the user, so we're stuck in this world where it can never truly by a professional tool because every step of the way there is something like this where on a real computer its just an extra screen and you put on what you want on it and the situation where content of the other screen gets suddenly shown can't happen. But the iPad has to pretend screens don't exist and only apps do.
When the iPad launched, I was in my third year of an industrial design program and we endlessly mocked it. Who was this thing for? It's a giant iPhone. It's not a laptop or a phone, why would anyone want it? Obviously, by the end of my last year we realized we were definitely wrong.
These days I still think we were wrong, but I also think we were more right than we knew at the time.
It's frustrating for professionals, and it's too big for kids to be carrying around, but after observing my parents I realize who it's for: people who have trouble reading on small screens. That's why I like my iPad.
No such an animal. I have recently been issued an iPad for logging jobs and material use, it's terrible. Tablets are essentially little TVs made for consuming images and video with minimal user interaction, when you have to start typing up a dozen lengthy descriptions of jobs on a touch screen it gets frustrating in a hurry. Most of the contractors that come buy have been been given iPads as well and are equally impressed with the experience.
Why would you need a dongle? I never understood this complaint. If you need a dongle you just bought the wrong cable. Instead of a dongle and an HDMI-to-HDMI cable, you could just have gotten a USB-C to HDMI cable.
Same goes for basically every other scenario where people complain about needing dongles.
Because I own a number of USB C dongles and a number of HDMI cables, both of which are extremely common, but zero USB C to HDMI cables, which I'm assuming I could easily find on Aliexpress but have never actually seen before in my life.
You can make a credible argument that typefaces are the original information technology: the first technology that encoded and distributed information and whose coding limitations changed the shape of the information itself.
(Not least on the basis that they changed the requirements of paper, which before typefaces was a rather more ad-hoc, per-project process)

It’s far fetched.
