Thanks to the work by ifixit its possible for anyone to replace an iPhone battery but without the hard work from a 3rd party there is no way you would be able to replace a battery.

You have to know exactly which screws to remove, the direction to lift things, the connectors to discounted and when to apply force because lifting the battery requires a huge amount of heat and force.
Yes.

I will gladly pay (Amazon|Google|Microsoft|Cloudflare|Zeit) to manage software deployment infrastructure for me, allowing my teams to concentrate on writing business logic. As with any other concept, it has a learning curve, but once you're comfortable with the concepts, your development will speed up, no question about it.
Tesla also does not sell spares to general public. Yet, there are people who manage to fix them. There are always spares available.
why has the title been changed from "covers" (which is what they were) to "stamp" which is a less specific form of what they were? Why are we not just using the article title?
Where does Apple "depends strongly" in China.

Good god, reading that was horrifying. What a bunch of thugs on that police force. Absolutely disgraceful.
I remember my mothers look of shock when my hand me down car started back up after three months of engine and transmission parts slowly spreading across the garage floor.
I doesn't really interfere with most of that because most people don't have (and never will have) the capability to apply themselves to such a scenario. This is more for lock-in purposes and cost saving. Having technical documentation out there is very costly, as is having parts logistics for consumers, especially if it's not your core business.

I'm sure there is a large percentage of unethical reasons, but most of the stuff you read about is just lawyer departments lawyering and have little to do with reality (but sady does make rules within the reality of hard- and software). Most of the directions a lawyer department get are the kind of "make this happen, figure out how". It's not an engineer that makes something and then call the in-house counsel asking to make it really hard for everyone else in the world to touch his design; engineers are unlikely to care about that and more likely to want to share and engage with like-minded people.
The option for avoiding iCloud backup is iTunes encrypted backup. iCloud backup is very convenient but also not dangerous.
Indeed.

Google Assistant DID figure out which case should lead to which actions. It knew that it was supposed to call home.

Instead of performing the action, it refused to perform the action and demanded that I use my hands to unlock the phone in precisely the situation where doing so was both illegal and dangerous.

You're right about the spurious cloud connection requirement. There is no way that we need to make a cloud connection for this or many other functions, yet it seems to be the default architecture for almost everyone these days. Just because you can does not mean you should.

Exploiting Misconfigured Sudo
This is basically what dollar stores do. You have to lose profit on some items to get traffic and regain that profit in different items.

Traffic is exponentially better than being profitable in every item since you can expose the customer base to other products and start deploying other fidelization channels. You won't get that if you have the same outlier buyers giving you profit on a few expensive items.
This isn't always true. Take a look at the whole thing with Linus Media Group's iMac screen repair. The screens are not available publicly, only to approved apple repair centers (which didn't even exist at the time of LMG's fiasco). They didn't give details in the video where they finally repair the thing, but strongly hint that they actually ended up getting the replacement part essentially off the black market of apple parts.

Along with this Apple has a history of having customs destroy third party refurbish parts when being brought into the US.

Great question. The app uses a combination of SSID and public IP address as identifiers to create unique channels so both your SSID and outgoing IP will need to match to access a chat.

They pull you in with the awesome shows and keep you with the antisocializing shows.

I'm trying to guess at the economic motivation to promote these negative shows.
Companies have to park unused money somewhere, but in general you should be an investor or entrepreneur not try to be both.
You’re allowed to open up your phone today. Nobody is saying the police should knock down your door because you opened your phone. What’s at stake right now is if you open your phone, you void your warranty and Apple will not provide any more support for you. Which seems perfectly justified to me; iPhones are sufficiently complicated that end users will absolutely damage or destroy their phones by opening them up.

The distinction I’m drawing is between end users and third-party repair shops. Users need to have a way to get support, and Apple Stores aren’t available everywhere, or aren’t necessarily offering repairs as cheaply as a third-party shop could. Third-party repair shops should be able to repair iPhones without voiding warranty, as long as they use Apple-supplied parts and with access to Apple-supplied training materials. But end users shouldn’t.
So, a few years ago, someone mentioned something very similar, and I asked them to elaborate because I was curious.

This was their response: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14540332

It's well worth a read.
You're referring to DoD 8570, which requires all contract and active duty IT personnel pass the test for one of a number of junk certs as baseline infosec training.

The retail price for CEH doubled once they became an approved vendor...go figure.
Hah yes, but likely not in the quantity that would make this interesting!
I am really, really disappointed by the lack of wireless. Getting a TPCast was a massive improvement for my Vive, I really don't want to go back to wires.
That seems like jumping to a conclusion. The OP has a manager already.

Telling someone who speaks a language at an intermediate level that they don't always speak idiomatically is pointless - they already know that.

Sure, but do they know when they're saying something awkward? Recently I struggled in both England and Barcelona to get carbonated water. In San Francisco I'd be saying "soda water". In New York, "seltzer water". In England, apparently, sparkling water is the trick. I'm a native English speaker so it was fairly easy for me to pick up on that.

Meanwhile my Spanish is not great, but enough to sound like I speak Spanish fluently and make casual conversation and order things at a bar. In Havana I learned "agua sin gas" and "agua gaseosa". I tried that a few times in Barcelona (a city you can navigate entirely in English) recently and eventually got a weird look. Next time I asked and was told "agua con gas". Were it not for the weird looks I'd've stuck with awkward phrasing.

I generally tiptoe pretty gently with non-native English speakers, but have one friend who is insistent upon having their mistakes and awkward phrasing corrected. They're also the one friend who seems most like a native English speaker with written communication (the accent is a whole other story).

If you don't know when you're doing something awkwardly you won't ever improve.
My first smartphone was iPhone 4S which I bought at 2012. Its WiFi started to work very bad exactly after 1 year of use, so warranty was not applicable. I found repair guy who replaced WiFi module for something like 10% of this phone initial cost. I used it for around 5 years and recently switched to iPhone 8. It still works now without any issues except degraded battery and software.

Well, charging cables of course were broken after one or two years, that's problem for all Apple devices I've owned so far. Not a big problem, Chinese cables are cheap and of better quality anyway.
Nobody is saying you can’t fool with it. But if you “fool with it” then you shouldn’t expect Apple to provide support for you.
Thanks for your feedback. We've actually received quite a lot of other feedback regarding the new pricing model and will – as a result – soon be working on a way to set custom alerts and limits, so that it behaves just like 1.0 pricing, if you want it to.

With regards to 1.0 "just working": Aside from making 2.0 more intuitive, we're heavily investing into tools that allow you to automatically transition existing applications to 2.0, so that would definitely help a lot.
I’m sorry, I should have expanded more upon my somewhat flippant opening comment.

In the future I’ll try harder to elucidate my thoughts coherently and completetly.
> One thing I've learned from smart family and friends about medical care is that you can sometimes improve outcomes quite a lot if you apply brains and effort.

I'd be very careful with this sentiment though, because it is easy to turn it into the toxic notion that if a loved one dies from some disease (which is pretty inevitable), you didn't put enough brains or effort in it.
I'm the author of this article—both CTIA and CompTIA are lobbying against these bills, but CompTIA is the most actively outspoken.

If you are a member of CompTIA or certified by them or have any thoughts about them please reach out to me (my Twitter DMs are open: twitter.com/jason_koebler ... are Signal numbers allowed on here?), because I'm working on a deeper investigation about the group's shift from a certifications body to a lobbying arm of big tech.
I'm confused by all the assumptions in this thread, including

1. That Google didn't research crypto internally and purposely decide not to pursue it.

2. That crypto is worth staking Google's time, energy, and ego on.

3. That crypto involvement is a direct reason a company is or is not innovative.

Given that putting aspirin pills in blister packs vs bottles has a measurable impact on suicides [0], it does not surprise me at all that show about suicide would raise the rate amongst teens.

The bad takeway from this is that there are producers etc who will exploit this kind of thing.

The good takeway is that even small "nudges" in the right direction can accumulate and lead to larger changes.

I think of the latter everytime I'm faced with a large cultural or organizational change that seems daunting.

"Short term securities". Personal IOUs from the 3 guys who run Bitfinex?
It means that I don't use sync services and so forth.

I certainly run fileservers of my own that I can access through the internet, but that's not what people mean by "the cloud", and very probably isn't what the comment I was replying to was talking about, as he specifically mentioned syncing the data to the device.

But I may have misunderstood.

Nonetheless, I don't do that anyway because I don't take a device that can make use of that data. I only take a very basic feature phone.
Confirmation bias is a terrible thing. I hope humanity can figure out a way to find more common ground in the future.
That's because the pointlessness of the butchery of WWI has largely been white-washed, and stripped of all context.

Every year, the British commonwealth celebrates the end of that war.

Every year, I ask why after the war, the public didn't string up every one of the leaders that was responsible for plunging the world into that pointless, industrial bloodbath. The silence I hear is, sadly, deafening.

Nobody cares to actually look at what caused that war. Nobody wants, or wanted to hold anyone accountable. The world collectively shrugged its shoulders, and forgot all about it.
Dumb question: is this specific to the JavaScript system? How does it relate to using Nix for development?
Apple depends strongly on iPhone.
I've never used NNTP, but for the purpose they served I trust it was a more powerful system compared to web forums. I may also be wrong, but I imagine one of the primary reasons web forums became more popular than NNTP was because you only had to click on the blue e icon and click on a bookmark, compared to setting up an NNTP client. In other words, it was more accessible to computer laymen. This is the same case now with web forums vs Facebook. Facebook is more accessible to computer laymen. So, what gives you the confidence to say that "we'll get this"?
I'm not using that as a proxy for ALL decision making. I'm representing that making decisions that concern technology would be better performed by people that understand technology.

Implicitly our political class might not be good with tech because they are not digital natives, from which one could infer that decisions on topics such as artificial intelligence, or biotechnology might be difficult. I was hoping for counter examples.

If 74% is what Tether is claiming, then the reality is probably less.
That's why there's such a thing as limited liability. Guitar amps are a good example - they're extremely dangerous if you're not careful. But manufacturers have provided repair manuals for decades, and I highly doubt any of the people who have hurt themselves because they forgot to discharge the rectifier caps successfully sued the manufacturer because they were being stupid.
We're already doing what the machine tells us to do -- where the machine is the machine of the market, or the market-like machine which is social media.
A genius would have built up successors to take over the system or designed it in such a way that it could be maintained lest he be hit by a bus suddenly. It is definitely a good story for tech.
"navigating the cacophony of formats, designs, sources and standards is challenging. Google, Wikipedia, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Quora, StackExchange, Github, etc"

Yes I am a huge fan of his work! He went on to found DuoLingo, which has inspired us a lot. I recommend everyone watch the talk you linked and also his TED
It's my understanding that not all of the parts are readily available and that Apple and others actually engage in making it hard to get some parts. This results in some parts having to be extracted from "bad" boards and such.
A Quest to Make Gasoline Out of Thin Air: Prometheus (YC W19)
From quickly skimming through this post, it seems like it's basically just a Wikipedia that supports people posting their products as advertisements.

If something is not notable, you're just going to end up with those with vested interests deciding what content goes up. I suspect this is the main reason for Wikipedia's requirement of notability.
I have a samsung galaxy nexus from 2011 that works fine. I don't use cases or anything, although I have replaced the battery twice which is easy since the back of the phone just pops off and the battery slides out. I have switched to a moto g5+ because I wanted a newer version of android and the galaxy nexus wasn't receiving software updates anymore.
Just FYI, most of the content on Wikipedia is actually dual licensed under CC-BY-SA and GFDL. Both licenses are copyleft licenses; CC0 is more permissive.

If both are statistically significant factors, I see nothing wrong with talking about both.
This is assuming that the stated 74% number is true. Fool me once...
For a counterpoint on Campbell as a terrific business coach read "Hatching Twitter" [1]. He was hired as Ev Williams' coach and the picture the book paints is bad. Working more for the board of directors instead the person he was hired to help. Telling Williams he was doing great then reporting to the board he was doing terrible.

The book is also a great way to understand why Twitter is such a shit show of an organization. The fundamental mismanagement from day one until now also shows the power of finding product/market fit. As the saying goes, you can mess everything else up and still succeed.

You can't do that with Java. There are some workarounds, but generally people restart application to check changes.
Caching when Redis is too much
Both of those typically require jacking up the car (and getting under it for the oil change), which strikes me as much more dangerous for a novice than the risk associated with puncturing a phone battery. Never mind the added risk of an amateur doing either of those car jobs incorrectly.

They don't provide good support now. Basic component failures become full board/assembly replacements for $$$. There's also a big leap from that to "shouldn't be allowed to open".

This is also a battle that has been lost once before. Desktop computer manufacturers used to put tamper-evident stickers on their cases stating that you would void your warranty if you opened your case. Congress made the industry BTFO on that one.
I believe you are mixing up "hosting" an OpenVPN server and having a client on your machine to connect to it (ie, their branded OpenVPN-powered client).

From the page it's clear they are also providing hosted file and email servers via subscription in addition to the branded-clients. Which is why I asked specifically about VPN hosting.
And that's why they are trying to diversify revenue...
So, can we get the money back that we waste on the police? They steal more than actual criminals anyway.
Ignoring many of the more pragmatic requirements of a design in favour of superficial aesthetics is not elegance.
Elegant design is solving as many requirements as possible with as few elements as possible.
A claw hammer is elegant, macs are not.
Agreed. Taken to its logical extreme, imagine someone insisting that some new revolutionary surgical procedure's tooling and instructions should be made public because people "are gonna try to do it themselves, anyway." No bueno.
I wonder if it's not necessarily related to the viewer themselves.

e.g. I could see the following taking place:

1. Biggest action is a user deciding to signup

2. More viewers means more money

3. More money => access to bigger producers/directors etc (e.g. Shonda Rhimes)

4. Because of #3, more users sign up

and the cycle repeats while "leveling up" the stars in step #3.

The negative shows may also be a part of #3 in the sense that directors/producers get more freedom to make what they want

and/or

Negative antisocial shows may generate more buzz which also helps with #1 and the rest of the cycle.
It was indeed good.

One minor nitpick is the use of "random" where they mean "arbitrary". :)

Also, it's still a bit unclear how caching of images would work when you append an arbitrary parameter: text implies none of the images would be cached (presumably because of cache headers or browser behaviour), but I'd prefer it if they were indeed cached by browsers as distinct images instead (iow, soft-reloading X/Y?something=foo will give you the same image).

Basically, I'd like them to figure out all the caching semantics and behaviour, and just do the right thing ;)
Let's not forget that you get to avoid being forced to unlock your device when detained if it's present, and dealing with the consequences of refusing to do so if you take that route. You're essentially the key to your device, so you're essentially shipping the encrypted payload and the encryption key in different mediums, so the capture of either without the other is of little use to an adversary, assuming they don't see you as a target worth trying to break the physical security of the device for. If you haven't actually done anything wrong, that's probably a safe assumption most the time, and it's likely not any worse than taking the device with you if you have.

This has never been a problem I've encountered, but perhaps I'm just fortunate in terms of which countries I need to take my electronics to.

I do very little international travel, though, so I may have just been lucky. Most of my travel is domestic, and none of those issues apply when you aren't leaving the country.
Is there any solutions for Intranet websites without Internet access?
What do you use the 280GB 900P for in front of your 1TB drives? You're right the bottleneck is often somewhere else in the system once you have modern SSDs. The 280GB 900P is ~$0.89/GB [1] and 1TB EX920 is ~$0.15/GB [2] these days, so the cost delta is not an order of magnitude (i.e. >10x).

What's funny to me is that the first consumer flash SSDs Intel released were just over 10 years ago, and they were ~$7.44/GB with only 80GB capacities [3]. Things change quickly, eh?

Homebrew maintainer here. Thank you for your comment and for being sincere. I’m sorry you feel that way about user-maintainer relations. While I respect your feelings and think they are valid no matter what, would you mind linking to one or two recent examples? It’d definitely help to have a look at concrete instances where our actions felt hostile to you so we can figure out how to improve.

Everyone who interacts with the Homebrew community must be treated with respect, no exceptions, and if we maintainers suck at that then we need to be better.
Dragon Dictate 20 years ago required training while today’s speech recognition works for the general population. A major difference.
I have an uncle who speaks 6 different languages; he really likes picking up new ones. I once had a discussion about how he could pick them up so quickly and he basically said what the parent was saying: use it, practice it, read newspapers in it, speak to people that speak it too. Immerse yourself, accept that you'll be uncomfortable for a while, and before long, you'll be able to hold a simple conversation.

He also said you know you are fluent the day you can casually joke in real time with people and make them laugh (at the joke!)
