I’ve done both at a refurb company and I’ll stick to my macs and a few select business models from the other manufactures. Fuck everything about HP Pavilions, Dell Inspirons and other home user crap.

The icons in the article aren’t even the default behavior. Mine all still have color. At least on the home screen and app drawer. The control center icons are translucent but those barely had any style before. And crucially, wifi, bluetooth etc buttons still have color to indicate status.

I happen to agree on most or your points.

By the way, you can still get the fancy desktop effects by installing Compiz. Probably only supports X but I haven’t really looked into it. Must’ve been 2009 or 10 when I used it lol

I literally haven’t had a Netflix sub since that year and I sometimes miss the convenience of it even. Haven’t been very frequent on reddit in 2 years. Neither company is going to miss me though.

Soon it’ll just be piracy and the fediverse for me, and maybe I’ll be able to show my daughter how to download movies and shows, but I’m sure within within her lifetime, piracy will just become so unpopular that all the good sources of content die out. I do hope the fediverse will stay around though. It has a similar problem to piracy: It’s not that it’s hard, it’s more that the people making everything work get tired and it’s hard to convert people.

Got a funeral in the family? Thrice the fare for you.

Ya, need a good pair of gargoyles obviously

I played in a TBC private server when Wrath wasn’t out yet. I never made it to level 70, or maybe I did in the very end. I just never cared either. There was so much to discover

But also making traffic safer

Think we need to introduce a mandatory period where you need to drive an old car with no ABS when you’ve just gotten your license. I mean for me that was called being a broke-ass student, but nowadays cars with no ABS are starting to cost more than cars with ABS, traction control and even ESP, because the 80s and early 90s cars where these things were optional, are now classics, whereas you can get a BMW or Audi that was made this century for like 500-800 euros if you’re brave or just want to move in to your garage full time.

Ooh nice.

I liked YouTrack. Only used it as a dev, not a manager or tech support though. But from what I saw, everyone seemed at least OK with it and some people were downright happy to use it.

It’s free for up to 10 users and available as a docker image, in case you want to try it out before committing, or pitching it to higher-ups. Cloud version is available too of course.

They are raising prices in October though. Not sure how it’ll compare to Jira or how it does now, I’ve never had to pay for either myself.

Yes. They (cellebrite) don’t mention GrapheneOS support very loudly because it’s poor. They can’t decrypt one that’s BFU (Before First Unlock), not even by brute force if it’s a 6 digit passcode apparently. Don’t know if they can get data from an AFU GOS pixel. A year ago when their internal docs leaked, they also had no support for latest iOS at the time, but had brute force support for older versions as long as phone itself wasn’t too new and had AFU access without brute force for even older versions.

Moral of the story: if there’s a chance police might take your phone to investigate for a crime you hopefully didn’t even commit, shut down your phone completely - the 5x power button trick on iOS disables biometric unlock, but the device itself stays decrypted and thus more vulnerable. Also keep your OS up to date.

If you’ve got a phone that’s neither iOS nor GrapheneOS, it’s probably pretty much Swiss cheese anyway. IOS isn’t as good as GrapheneOS either, but it offers some protection against Cellebrite if up to date and BFU. But if they keep your phone for long enough (months, years), they’ll get it unlocked because you can’t install updates that would patch any newly discovered vulnerabilities and one day they’ll find a BFU unlock for it, probably.

They’re also making electric cars that undercut the competition by about 20k in price. Of course they’re running a loss on purpose.

Basically, read it as “you should kill yourself if you’re not exactly where your ancestors lived 10000 years ago”. That’s what these people seem to think, they just don’t want to say the quiet part out loud.

I live in a country where we have a very large amount of Russians, many of whom completely lack citizenship because they moved here during the soviet occupation so didn’t get automatic Estonian citizenship after our independence, but also haven’t gotten Estonian or Russian citizenship after the fact. This number has decreased over the years because most people have acquired some citizenship, but we still have tens of thousands with no state at all. I can’t imagine simply deporting all of those people. In fact, we’re now giving out citizenship to children of non-citizen parents who have lived in the country for at least 5 years, to avoid creating more stateless people. This is despite the fact that a lot of those people getting citizenship are also the descendants of settlers, with roots in a country hostile to our own. Those people’s entire lives are here, who are we to uproot them just because we were here first? It’s too late now.

Yea let’s go back to index.php and the 5 second load time for every clicked button

So it’s not free market after all because the big 3 can make vehicles at home and sell abroad while the others have to make them in the US for the US market. In what way is it not a form of favoring the domestic auto companies?

China subsidises industries it wants to dominate in, allowing them to sell for less than cost. It’s why the EU also tariffs Chinese cars.

Also for anything the big 3 make in the US, I believe they use union labor? Not sure if they did for Aussie market cars.

The US actually heavily tariffs foreign-made vehicles that could skirt the CAFE requirements the way American trucks do. Light trucks suffer the Chicken Tax and can only be made in Canada, US or Mexico to bypass that. Been that way since the UAW boss asked LJB to do something about the German imports growing.

Well, nearly half a million mostly union jobs would also be lost, causing a minor recession at the very least. Even if the jobs partially come back in the form of BYD plants, they probably wouldn’t be union jobs.

What Ford European line? They discontinued the Mondeo and their minivans. Now it’s hatch or crappy SUV. Or Mustang. Oh wait. Focus is end of life too now. It’s mustang or crappy crossover SUVs only.
