Yea. I only have an edgerouter 4 as far as Ubiquiti equipment goes. It works great for its intended purpose (I needed a dual WAN router and consumer level gear generally doesn't do that). I was eyeing their WAPs, but I believe I'll pass on them now.
Another issue I’ve noticed is that many people have taken freedom of speech to mean “everyone needs to listen to what I say”

> Ubiquiti’s stock price has grown remarkably since the company’s breach disclosure Jan. 16. After a brief dip following the news, Ubiquiti’s shares have surged from $243 on Jan. 13 to $370 as of today. By market close Tuesday, UI had slipped to $349.

Aaannd this is why we can't have nice things. Like trust in our vendors. Or security. Or consequences.
Some police departments already classify body parts as 'personal weapons'. I recall a case in california a few years ago where a pre-teen was mistakenly arrested over an alleged-but-not-remotely-plausible resemblance to a burglary suspect.

I can't remember the exact location or details sufficiently well to look it up but I remember the bit about personal weapons as an odd fact that jumped out at me from a copy of the arrest report.
Sure I didn't say that they were a true subsidiary, I used the word "basically".

At that point, yes Broadcom is ultimately paying the fees to ARM, but separating RPi from that negotiation is an oversimplification. RPi absolutely has a seat at that table.

And ARM probably doesn't care that much about it being the go to SBC (some cheap chinese board would take on that mantle without RPi leading the charge), but instead that it's the practical successor to what ARM was founded to do. Put passable performance, hackable computers designed by Brits in front of British school children as cheaply as possible.
i did the same research 3mo ago. Was torn between a Ubiquiti (mostly because a coworker was bugging me) and a Ruckus Unleashed.

I wish i had gone with the Ruckus.

The lie that you can easily self host your own controller for ubiquiti is vastly exaggerated. Spent several hours of a Saturday patching extremely ancient versions of mongodb and compiling stuff. Not to mention that if you have a VM and turn the controller off, several features of the APs will stop working. and range for their Pro AP is lacking at most.

I wish ubiquiti just published the damn shell commands so i could be able to manage it without the silly troublesome "controller" which is just an annoying web ui. So condescending and inefficient just for the sake of exploiting the customer base for lock-in effect. They are just a little cisco.
I certainly didn't think it was a joke, it's seemed a perfectly reasonable thing to do

* They got in trouble for diesel

* They're pivoting to electric

* The name sounds really similar, within the bounds of accent changes between cultures

* The logo (VW) wouldn't have to change

If it was a joke, then it failed because it was too realistic
When that was true, several decades ago, products generally had upwards of 2 years of design/architecture/engineering effort and definitions prior to another 3-5 years of development.

It still (sometimes) happens for medical, aerospace and other transportation software that interfaces with hardware where safety is a concern.
So a 12px character on a 14" 1080p screen is the same size as a 12px character on an 18" 1080p screen? I'm still somewhat skeptical, despite fifty posts in this thread claiming just that.
I’m not sure which article your looking at, but neither the OP article, or the Kerbs article suggests that Apple is collecting location data derived from location services on a phone and sending it back to the mothership.

The OP article suggests that IP data from the uploads could be used to estimate location, and their table has a “location” column. But that column seems to be referencing the fact that iOS reports when location services are turned on and off, rather than a specific location derived from the phones sensors.

This is of course ignoring opt-in telemetry which is used to improve maps etc. Which obviously involves sending your location back to Apple.
By the way, reporting to krebsonsecurity is a giant waste of potential income. This is what the SEC whistleblower program is for. You get paid for submissions there that lead to successful enforcement actions, and the payouts can be very substantial. Furthermore because payouts exist, there's an industry of competent lawyers that will happily take cases with compensation coming exclusively from your payout.

Also, how is this a securities case? The company did not disclose the scale of the breach to shareholders.
C# (as of 7.0) has pretty nice tuple syntax that supports all things you expect (deconstruction, etc):

But the situation here is that the type KeyValuePair is older than that and isn't a tuple.

Better yet - they boot from USB now (and even NVMe if you're using a CM4).
Decent chance you don’t need all that.

Eero Pro (not standard) kit comes with 3 identical boxes, each with a third radio band for backhaul mesh, each can be wired or wireless as well.

Not sure if still the case, but last time I dug into it, eero was also the only consumer grade software-defined-radio router/ap, allowing them to rapidly patch for various vulns that others couldn’t necessarily or took much longer for.
Android sends 20x more data to Google than iOS sends to Apple, study says
The articles states:

>"SVE2 was announced back in April 2019, and looked to solve this issue by complementing the new scalable SIMD instruction set with the needed instructions to serve more varied DSP-like workloads that currently still use NEON."

Could someone say what "DSP-like workloads" workloads would be? I understand what a DSP is but I'm wondering what type of workloads that are not signal processing share similar characteristics.
Can't disagree more. var improves readability so much that I can't imagine reviewing code anymore with unnecessary type declarations everywhere.

They got around this problem by not considering the hybrids, but Prunus jamasakura. Here is what they wrote in one of the source papers on how they inferred the species of the trees in the historical record(1).

"First, we determined the species of the most common
cherry tree at Kyoto during the historical period. In the
modern phenological observations by the Japan Meteo-
rological Agency, Prunus yedoensis (Japanese common
name, Somei–Yoshino) is considered representative of
all cherry trees, and its full-ﬂowering dates are observed
by most meteorological stations in Japan, except those
in Hokkaido District and the Ryukyu Islands. However,
P. yedoensis is an ornamental tree developed in the mid-
dle of the 19th century, and it did not exist before that.
Many descriptions in old documents suggest that a native
species, Prunus jamasakura (Japanese common name,
Yamazakura), was grown in Kyoto and its suburbs, and
it was planted also in the ground of the imperial palace
from ancient times. Therefore, P. jamasakura was the
most common species of cherry tree in Kyoto until the
middle of 19th century"

I'm waiting for a traffic analysis to turn up that Google gathers location, wifi APs and cell towers even when all possible consent is revoked. Because, with Google's greed, no way I'm believing that they would give that up, and I'm not turning the location service on.

Reminder that Google literally provides a location database for US cops, who are getting bulk data on people simply being in some place at some time and doing nothing wrong: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/technology/google-sensorv... Meanwhile other countries want to make Google store that data on their territory when it's about their citizens.
He was in "Offener Vollzug" (~open prison). That means he sleeps in a normal prison cell (that usually looks like [1], so not all that bad) in a regular prison, gets breakfeast, leaves prison to go to work, then goes straight back to prison to participate in the prison's evening activities (sport, recreational, educational, etc). He might get vacation (from staying in prison), and can visit his family on weekends.

It's not that unusual in Germany, at any time about 16% of prisoners are in "offener Vollzug", and it is a great tool to reintegrate prisoners into society. It is limited to first offenders with no flight risk and no risk that they use their time out of prison to do crime.

Of course no matter how useful of a tool it is generally, it does make the prison sentences of some well known people look like a bit of a joke.

> Why do password managers let people store TOTP next to the password

One absolutely invaluable use-case is that it lets multiple employees share access to an account with 2FA enabled.

Many systems don’t have appropriate role/permission systems to allow for 2FA otherwise.
I’ve seen break label a handful of times for nested loops. Whether that was the best choice is of course always up for debate. It’s definitively possible to replace and not a necessary language feature.

Maybe it’s a good thing it’s not widely known, generics are trivial to discover.
yeah, really needs a use case that justifies it, I have a particular IoT backend where I made it pluggable between kafka and rabbitmq, ended up just using rabbitmq as it is simpler to work with / manage, and still not really pushing it in terms of performance with thousands of devices.

...which means higher prices of good and services, which means that the basic income you had previously settled on is no longer sufficient to survive on. How sure are we that there's a stable equilibrium?
A friend was selling some DRM-free PDFs and found one on a site with user uploaded content, one simple form later and zero lawyers it was gone. I think that's a positive, what is missing is a) a simple way to fight back against a bigger opponent, which should be a simple counter claim, but often isn't because b) many hosts don't really follow the DMCA to the letter and ignore safe harbour because they're worried about the profiting clauses that nullify safe harbour.
That's just like a personal check. The same methods you cheat someone with a scam check applies to the IOUs on Lightning.

> MS really made a grave mistake by coupling the evolution of the C# language to the .NET version.

For the most part that isn't true. You can use later C# compilers with older frameworks. Some features do, unavoidably, require framework support.

But that being said, the changes in C# aren't often that radical that I feel particularly constrained by older versions.
That is certainly not true. The absurdity of the situation burned the event into my mind at least, and I’ve never even been to Hawaii.
I don't get it - why does alignment matter when pixels are so small you've got no hope of seeing if something is aligned down to such a small measurement or not?

Today I had to use autotools for the first time, where I previously only used CMake.

I thought I should be scared, and m4 looks daunting, but what they at least get right is that it's trivial to generate both shared and static libraries, cross-compilation is a breeze, and in the end all you need is a shell to configure and make to install.

CMake defaults to either shared or static libs, and sometimes you have to read the docs for a project to figure out what custom variables influence this; and cross-compilation is almost always guaranteed not to work because some find_x cmake script tries to compile and run a C source to figure out certain properties about the target (but it confuses that with the host system).
You wonder what it WOULD take for VW, Chevy, Ford, Toyota etc to convince you their product and commitment was on par with Tesla

That they've been making production electric cars longer than Tesla, like Nissan has?

Is the corporate world "what it is" without the actions of these categories of employees? You may have the causation arrow pointing the wrong way, because to me, being more "reflective of reality," it's better worded as, "the corporate world is composed of the decisions, actions, and personalities of (sociopaths|opportunists), (the clueless|idealists), (losers|pragmatists)." Your choice of terminology is only a value judgement on each of the categories, but it's all the same people, working in a company, and making it a living thing. The specific words don't change the meaning of the principles being discussed.

I don't think the subjects of the Gervais categories are broken people so much as dangerous ones, careerwise (and possibly mental healthwise).
For one, scientists make observations, form hypothesis, test predictions and repeat.

> there isn't much point in being in a union if the union unconditionally accepts orders from your employer.

That's BS - nobody talking about accepting every order forever, whatever it is. The matter in question here is completely common and reasonable security measure. To refuse it just to be obstinate and play the power game is childish and pointless. Exactly what one doesn't want in a union - preferring power games to the benefit of the workers - who, I presume, would want an honest election - and an election that can be proven to be honest.

> there is absolutely no evidence of impropriety at any level here

So what? There's no evidence I am a terrorist, but I have to show ID and go through the security when I fly (or enter a court building). There's no evidence I am not paying taxes, but I have to submit my tax return (and sometimes undergo audit - without any evidence I cheated!). There's no evidence I am an illegal immigrant, but I still have to show my ID when passing the border. There's no evidence I am a crappy driver, but I still have to get a driver license, by passing tests. There's no evidence I am a criminal, but I still have to show ID and submit to a background check if I want to buy a firearm. There's no evidence I stole my credit card, but I still have to type in the secret code in the form. There's no evidence I am impersonating somebody else on HN, but I still have to type the password when I am logging in. There's no evidence somebody is breaking into my house, but I still have lock and keys (and cameras).

I could continue for hours. There are thousands of cases where security measures are taken without evidence of somebody's personal misconduct that already happened. That's how you make sure the probability of misconduct is very low - by taking measures before it happened, not after. Somehow in this particular case it's not clear - despite widespread usage of security cameras otherwise, that could have hinted you that using security cameras does not have proof of misconduct as prerequisite - in fact, the presence of the cameras is usually the prerequisite of obtaining the evidence.

> Amazon's demands amount to handwringing and FUD

There was no base for FUD until people started refusing common security measures - and then there is, if they don't plan to cheat why they are so against the common security measures? If there's no misconduct, why they are so keen to ensuring there could be no possibility of having any evidence of it?

> A lot of this reveals the way that Google itself perceives Android devices, and also ChromeOS devices to a lesser extent, to be inside their infrastructure.

This quote should be more than enough to justify legally separating Google from ownership of both platforms. It is a similar problem we're seeing Tesla now extend to it's cars. Regardless of who legally owns the device, the company's employees feel entitled to data from it and de facto ownership of it. In most cases collecting data that the actual owner of the device is unable to see or utilize themselves.
Feels a bit like Nokia getting serious about smartphones a year after the iPhone has come out.
Apple devices aren't crippled by it, they're improved by it. By curation and restriction. Users don't buy Apple gear to pay the lowest possible price for software, or to sideload software, users buy Apple to get something that works. The whole point is that Apple is selling an Apple experience, not an overwhelming flood of "fix it yourself" freeware. Users who want that can get it elsewhere, they shouldn't be forced to suffer it on iOS as well. Taking the restrictions away isn't an improvement. They aren't mandatory restrictions until using iOS is mandatory, and it isn't.

This is like a restaurant demanding smart shoes for customers, and you complaining that it's anti-competitively hurting your sneaker business and the restaurant should be forced to change. Customers going there are going there knowing the dress code applies to them and others, forcibly blocking that removes part of their reason for going there at all.

> "You aren't making much sense. You won't have any semblance of adoption if you don't have presence on iOS."

That is the sense, you aren't required to have any semblance of adoption. Apple is successful by building a curated, restricted, "exclusive" (by perception if not fact) experience. You want access to the customers and their money, without upholding the reasons the customers are using that platform.

> "Yet no one raises any objections about not being able to run arbitrary code on them. Precisely because of the marketing and expectations."

Now you aren't making sense. Apple never marketed or set expectations that you could sideload apps on iPhone or iOS, did they?

> "By the way, washing machines and microwaves also have a full computer in them — there's CPU, RAM, and ROM. Yes, tiny and underpowered. Probably not quite powerful enough to run Doom. Computers nonetheless, technically."

So you're going after Bosch for anti-competitively not allowing you to sell software that runs on their washing machines, and not allowing owners to sideload? Because this is all about anti-competitive, you said? No obviously you aren't doing that, which calls into question your claimed reasons. You can easily list your app on Apple's store and compete, what it's about is you want more money. Which is fine in its own way, until you try to get some legal mandate for Apple to force me to worse platform so you can avoid paying Apple money for using Apple's platform and reputation.
A single app slipping through the net in how many years of app store? 10? Yes, very funny.
This "marketing stunt" raised their stock price by 8.95% today because people ran to buy stock since it signaled a changed in strategy. It is not "market manipulation", but I hope somebody gets slapped in the wrist for this.
Allowing wifi mac addresses, ssids, bssids, etc. of leased equipment in combination with subscriber address/goelocation to be shared or otherwise disclosed to third party affiliates, partners, agencies is a requirement included in the fine print of some residential ISP's agreement terms I've read, fwiw.

I assumed that this probably is implemented as a 'non-public' goelocation service api as well raw data sharing agreements in some cases, but I'd doubt the data 'processors' and 'controllers' are known to anyone outside those parties.
Plus if you trade in one functional old car for a newer model with better emmissions, that perfectly good car is not magically lifted into automobile heaven never to emit again. It will be bought on the used market by someone else can't afford a new car (much less a $70K Tesla) and continue to emit whatever it emits today.

Is there a difference between Firebase's "open source" and Suprabase's "open source"? Is Suprabase more open than Firebase in some manner, or does "an open source Firebase alternative" just mean "a Firebase competitor that also open sources its client side tools?" Is some part of the Firebase code closed source or less "Open" where the Suprabase equivalent is not? I haven't used Firebase much, so maybe I'm missing a big distinction.

The native interop is the same. That is, if your DLL and .so have the same function signatures, you can use the same interop code unmodified between Linux and Windows. This is really convenient.

I second the other commenter suggesting you should try to rip off the WCF bandaid and go to a RESTful API as soon as you can. It sounds scary but after the one-time pain of migration we've had way fewer "magic, black box" errors that require insane investigations and hacks.
In my experience they don't often have a configure file in the repo, but only in the release tarball (some repos on github have an action to setup a tarball with configure script). That way the user only needs a shell and make, nothing else.
