Another setting that surprised me with being turned on by default apparently on macOS 15 is System Settings - Spotlight - "Help Apple Improve Search":
"Help improve Search by allowing Apple to store your Safari, Siri, Spotlight, Lookup, and #images search queries. The information collected is stored in a way that does not identify you and is used to improve search results."

Data Point: I am currently having issues getting Mixtral Q4_K_M running in LMStudio on my 32gb M1 Max. I'm trying Q3 to see if it fits.
I can have it run in on 'cpu' which is very slow, but offloading to the GPU runs out of memory.
You just have to allow more than 75% memory to be allocated to the GPU by running sudo sysctl -w iogpu.wired_limit_mb=30720 (for a 30 GB limit in this case).

Nice work man, and posting it to HN was a great idea to start gaining some subscribers ;-)
Giving away my PS2 and Guitar Hero is one of the only things I regret by the way. If someone created a Guitar Hero that ran on Linux I would gladly pay.

You can do the same with Ext4
Ext4 has no snapshot feature, do you mean with lvm?
Maybe add that it's a "zero-click, wormable, cross-platform remote code execution in Microsoft Teams" :)
is this a silly PR attempt? nobody ever said this.
what everybody said, and happened, was the other way around. And that's why google and everyone else encrypt even in-rack traffic.
I remember this indeed being a thing in the news at the start of the Snowden leaks press coverage. Journos saw Google etc. logos in the NSA slides and thought they were on board rather than being tapped.
