I Decompiled the White House's New App

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. A new analysis has found that 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010, driven by measures such as cycle lanes, electric vehicles and restrictions on polluting traffic.

Guessing no-one at Apple checked what happens when you have folder sharing on and Finder displays the opaque bar at the top... obviously looks even worse further right you go.

I had a Mac 128K (very) briefly in 1985, and an LC in 1991, but I went to the Mac - for good - in 1999 with the release of the Blue & White PowerMac G3. That was the pro Mac of the time, released soon after the Bondi Blue iMac made its debut. And I went there because Mac OS X was on the way. (I was a long-time NEXTSTEP fan at the time.)

B&W PowerMac G3 400, Quicksilver PowerMac G4 dual 800, PowerMac G5 dual 2.5 liquid cooled, and MacPro1,1 dual Xeon --- it was pro Macs for me over the years until they became aimed at a higher tier of u$er.

I am a Mac Studio user today, but I will always have very fond memories of those lovely and powerful pro Mac towers.

Pour one out for @siracusa tonight.

@marcoarment @siracusa The Mac Pro dies twice: first, when Apple discontinues it, second, when its name is spoken by John for the last time.
