Yes. On older generation/cheaper ANC this is perceived as increased "pressure". It doesn't seem louder but the physical sensation of loudness is there.

The sound produced by ANC is the exact 180 degree inverse (or as near as possible) of the incoming bad noise.

It's produced in realtime by dedicated signal processors and requires mic arrays feeding in the sound. The quicker your processing pipeline the better the match is and the more powerful the effect is.

There's no prerecorded sound that would work.

How is being paid "from pushback to arrival" even vaguely legal?

Let's be honest, this is only their outlook until the courts make their decision. They'll sell if that doesn't go in their favour.

IIRC your data would live on your chosen pod server - which does not have to be a fediverse instance.

The fact you got downvoted for someone else's assumption (that was upvoted) makes me chuckle. There's some serious Apple hating going on here*.

*sometimes deserved. Not really in this case.

Written by someone who apparently has no understanding of virtual memory. Chrome may claim 500MB per tab but I'll eat my hat if the majority of that isn't shared between tabs and paged out.

If I'm misunderstanding then how the fuck is chrome with it's 35+ open tabs functioning on my 16GB M1 machine (with a full other application load including IDE's and docker (with 8GB allocated)

I've not tried it but have been keep tabs.

The two main problems appear to still be ongoing PRs/issues; magazine/community sidebar content doesn't update and doesn't federate out at all to lemmy, and moderation actions don't federate at all (any of the various types) - which is particularly problematic.

If only k/mbin federated better - I'd be all over it :(

Apple has pretty robust parental controls on their devices.

Source: am technical enough to have set them up.

Ah, well that is indeed unfortunate and realistically also a bit shit.

We use them quite extensively. They work great.
