Waited years for an update and this is it? Seriously? A touch bar? That's what they added? It took years to add something that other manufacturers added and abandoned?
What I'm most pissed about is that they are offering a "pro" system with a max of 16GB of RAM.
I'll be looking elsewhere and seeing what better, truly "pro" laptops can be hacked to run MacOS.
The forensics would have been done on a cloned HD anyway: "Sure we'll destroy the original, but the chain of evidence will clearly link the contents of this HD back to the original HD and implicate you if anything actionable appears in it."
I'd love a very water resistant phone. Just the other day I took a step backward trying to see better onto my roof and nearly fell into the pool, fully clothed, phone in pocket. Did the whole whirly-arms thing which saved me. So yeah, if the expensive computer in my pocket were waterproof, that'd be great.
I imagine the poster was referring to DARPA more than the NSF, but I imagine that any association with the US Govt. could engender distrust in such matters these (post Snowden) days.
OTOH, given SSDs and the inability to guarantee the erasure of all data on the drive, unencrypted data should never hit the drives at all, and the key should of course also never be stored on the same media (unencrypted).
That said, only my newer systems use encrypted volumes. My old drives I take apart and shatter/melt the platters.
My GF typed her gmail password into the kiosk computer at a nice hotel and got her account hacked. Some people will make use of computers that aren't safe. You may be "smarter" than that, but you aren't most of Google/Microsofts customers.
That's not at all what a yubikey is. Yubikeys generate OTPs, not static passwords (well, you can configure a static password, but it seems idiotic to pay >$10 for that). Here's the output from mine for 5 key presses (with spaces added to get around the filter). See if you can predict the 6th: ccccccdcbdtu fltbbccvutvidrkttrtuhdlcdftlihvu ccccccdcbdtu biulnjerdjgvduevjnbdvjettfunbigk ccccccdcbdtu cegcfgebcdflthefgnddfvrttvjrceel ccccccdcbdtu dhhvviiinktjjculbegjutncnftrhbtr ccccccdcbdtu ubjvvrkefcvechhhnniikthjtrubjgit

Wait, you use Esc, not the Meta key? Isn't that a giant PITA?
At least the turd was polished before being sold!
The one in the Prius my ex-wife had was pretty good.
Bah, just take the desk with you, or cut the fiber-loop free with a sawsall :-)
Doesn't it lock when the accelerometer detects movement?

I'm hoping that Chinese 64-Core ARM server processor starts to make its way to the consumer space...
IBM is still making Power chips. I imagine they aren't cheap in the research & development department, but they do have a non-consumer focus...

When that study came out, my GF and I joked about taking blood from her two young (~10yo) children.
Depending on the new MBP, that might be my new machine (or the latest equivalent) if I can Hackintosh it...
If it's like my older one, very little time/energy. Unscrew about 8 screws, pop some clips and replace (RAM/disk) away.
I've got 8GB/1TB-SSD in my 2010 17" MBP, but it won't do Airplay due to the no H264 encoding in the GPU, and 8GB is the max it'll go on RAM.
I'm hoping the new MBP will do 32GB and the Xeons you can get in a Dell look interesting...
It impounds the silt (nutrients) and prevents flush-out of gravel beds needed for fish spawn.
Decades is not a stretch. Were were printing out ascii-art porn from usenet on the line printers at UC Irvine in 1986.
That's easy to fix:

"you need only carry a power source sufficient to get you to the desired speed."
You probably want to carry 2x that power, unless you plan on stopping by running into something.

Yes, you very definitely should wait if you possibly can:
