Have you looked into the suid bit? You can set it on the file, then change the script owner to root and it runs in elevated mode: https://linuxhandbook.com/suid-sgid-sticky-bit/

It's Elmer's Glue. Kindergartners have been chugging it for years. What's the problem?

Edited my post to explain better.

Judging by the downvotes, I didn't state my point well enough. Magic Leap took a LOT of money, got a lot of hype, and nearly went out of business multiple times.

But they were also the first ones to demonstrate and kick off overlaying data on top of real world, what we now call Augmented Reality. Their implementation was clunky and the device was expensive, but it showed people a glimpse of what was possible in a head-mounted, immersive form factor. 10 years later, Apple released the Vision Pro which used different tech, but did pretty much what ML1 was trying to do.

I think the Humane AI pin tried some interesting concepts, but is heading in the same direction. The idea of a small, wearable, AI device is interesting. Ten years from now, when you can run it all on-device and have a hands-free, GPT-8 level conversation with it with no cloud connection may well be a yawn.

Media: So... you know those high-tech chipmaking machines? The ones banned for sale to China. The ones needed to make the processors for phones, cars, TVs, and AI servers. What happens if China invades Taiwan? Doesn't Taiwan have a lot of those machines?

Manufacturer: not a problem.

Media: Phew. Glad that's settled..... Say, how come?

Manufacturer: (slaps the roof of the $250M machine). We can lock this baby remotely. In fact, here's the remote (pulls out a keyfob).

Media: OK, cool, cool.

Techies of the world: WHAT THE ACTUAL FU..... !!!

Haha. Thanks for checking. Given the C pre-processor, I'm sure there's a way to maliciously bork it if someone sets their mind to it.

MSVC supports unicode. In C or C++, you could try:

#define ; ;

Second one is the greek semicolon but the client I'm using may strip it out. I'm too lazy to try.

The iPad Pro screen looks pretty good, but don't need all that processing power to just watch videos and browse websites.

Was really hoping they would upgrade the iPad Mini.
