For my link archive: finally Apple had to broadly accept apps to allow other forms of purchases than through Apple itself.
[Wayback/Archive] Apple has never lost this hard before – YouTube
focussing around this quote from the court order (full PDF below):
Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court’s Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers which would, by design and in effect, maintain a valued revenue stream; a revenue stream previously found to be anticompetitive. That it thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the cover- up made it worse. For this Court, there is no second bite at the apple.

The delete trick below not just works for the Chrome Omnibox, but for any autocomplete list in Chrome.
[Wayback/Archive] How to remove an entry from Chrome’s Remembered URLs from the url bar? – Super User (thanks [Wayback/Archive] cmcculloh, [Wayback/Archive] Gaff and [Wayback/Archive] User 张 源 – Super User):
Q
I’ve got a URL in Chrome “local.mysite.com” that autopopulates when I start typing “local.my” into the URL bar.
Note that this URL DOES NOT EXIST in my browser history (at chrome://history/#e=1&p=0) because it isn’t a real site and therefore couldn’t ever be successfully visited and therefore never shows up in my history.

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:
I learned a few more things from [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? (Page 2)
Here we go:

Last week I wrote on File scoped namespaces – C# 10.0 draft specifications | Microsoft Learn, promising to write more on p-Code and UCSD Pascal. That’s now (:
I started with [Wayback/Archive] “java byte code” “ucsd” “p-code” – Google Search as I was looking for really old material on this (Java 1.0 versions became available in the 1994-1995 time frame, and a lot of material back then either did not make it to the World Wide Web (which slowly gained popularity around that time, see History of the World Wide Web) or has vanished due to link rot.
The cool thing is that many “new” people are not even aware of p-Code, as the 2019 thread [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? shows.
I learned a thing or two from it as well, for instance that there has been a “recent” book on UCSD Pascal:

Installing the Authy iOS app on a Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3/…) used to be the way to keep using Authy in the Mac Desktop, as early this year Authy announced their desktop applications would shut down by August (links further below).
I missed the September 2024 post [Wayback/Archive] Tell HN: Twilio quietly removes Authy iOS app from Mac App Store, stops updates | Hacker News, which basically means that if you had it installed on a Mac, it will keep being installed but never updated.
This was done silently by Authy owner Twilio making new installs are possible, never updating old installs any more thereby effectively decreasing your security.
Anyway: if you want to try side-loading, this is the iOS app link: [Wayback/Archive] Twilio Authy on the App Store.
Sideloadly (links further below) might work, but in reality it likely is better to have your MFA running on a separate device.
