  • Rack-mounted Mac mini power problem solved by remote servos

    As Bijryx notes, just configure the Mac in Settings to "Start up after power failure." I do this with all my servers (Macs included) and plug them into inexpensive power outlets that can be powered on/off/toggled remotely. There are many controllable power outlets to choose from.

    HoloLens does not use holography. If it's "holographic" as Microsoft advertises (and the press regurgitates unchallenged), it's only in the limited sense of simulating the experience of viewing holographic imagery. The technology used is stereoscopic vision. To someone who knows what holography is, calling HoloLens holographic is (euphemistically speaking) inaccurate.
    No claim that it does was made in this piece. It's mostly a stereoscopic Pepper's Ghost effect.
    What appears to be a Microsoft advertisement is reproduced in the article. Quoting from therein: "An ergonomic, untethered self-contained holographic device..." [emphasis added].
    Okay? I didn't say it was a hologram, and MS can say what they want about it. The pricing on the HoloLens was the point.
    False advertising isn't "okay." I know what your point was, but I also saw the use of "holographic" in the reproduced ad. That was my point. I'm sorry it took a second post for you to see it, but that's how insidious false information can be when it's not checked.

  • Apple gives in on the End Call button position in latest iOS 17 beta

    I believe it's easier to tap in the center position, making accidental disconnects (disasters) more frequent.
