Apple TV is the best apple product I've ever owned. The UI is simple and works well. Airplay consistently outperforms every other 'casting' system I have tried. I have tried all the major brands of smart TV as well as every major brand of set top box.

I have also installed many for clients. Not one client has called me and asked me how to do something on their Apple TV. However, I have received many calls asking for help with Roku devices.

Have you found something that you like better than the Apple TV?
Facebook was 2x as likely not to remove Covid falsehoods in Europe than in US
Yes, in some places. In the US the entrepreneurship rate measuring the % of the population involved in that kind of activity hovers around 14%-ish. There are European countries like Estonia and others in the north and baltic regions that beat that rate while still providing high quality universal healthcare. As a rule, though, it seems like western European countries are significantly less entrepreneurial.

I think the entrepreneurial rate has a lot more to do with cultural attitudes around risk and individual success. Some countries like Italy, for example, have rates in the very low single digits. I'm not sure you can overall make a case for universal healthcare increasing entrepreneurial enterprise. Whether it might increase it specifically in the US might be a different question, though.
The Nvidia Shield basically uses the same SoC as the Nintendo Switch. Yet somehow even though the chip is powerful enough to run 3D games, Android TV can't manage smooth 2D animations on it. As I said in another comment I switched to using the apps on my LG TV. That sluggishness was a huge reason why.
I think there’s many nice OSS websites (and docs) built with Docusaurus [1].

It’s not exclusively for CLI projects, and their own website is pretty nice IMO.

AirTags would probably be the cheapest option for relatively reliable motorcycle tracking. However, there are already devices that can be connected to the bikes battery, hence basically run for ages, that also connect to GPS and GSM.

Tracking with AirTags assumes the thief (or someone closeby) uses an iPhone AND has the 'Fine my' feature activated, which is, given how motorcycle thieves operate in some areas of the world, is relatively unlikely. So you're probably still better off using a GPS+GSM tracker
What I do these days is use an iPad Pro and use a cloud-based virtual desktop [1] so I have the best of both worlds with me. The caveat is that you can't do this without internet access.

How does this actually work towards your employees or 3rd party personnel (for example consultants) getting access to the tools - would you have to make the source code available for them and allow them to distribute the code?

I used tractive. It is bulky and requires daily charging making it not so good for cats. I will likely play with Air Tag, as my cats usually travel in highly populated areas, so they should be seen by many people.
Figure this is as good a place as any to ask this: I have been looking for good books to read for learning about foreign policy. Didn't see any foreign policy lists on the linked cite, wanted to see if any users had recommendations :)
Thanks for accurately summarizing my thoughts better than I did above.
Try using a Fire stick, it inserts literal ads. Same with my LG "smart" TV,it inserts ads down the side of its menu. The Apple TV is by far the lowest offender in this department.
It could still be with AWS in mind. After this change, they'll be in a better negotiation position vs. AWS, since AWS can't (as easily) threaten that they'll build their own competing offer.
Confused here as well. I don't see how these aren't equivalent.
> Problem: the letters "G, P, L" are toxic to a huge number of companies.

Even if true, why it is problem? Company so misinformed is not going to be helpful anyway.
Productivity takes many shapes and forms. The use cases highlighted in the video were about capturing video podcasts, rendering previews in the field, etc. you can be productive without fitting into the traditional mold of productive computing. Thats what ipad is after.
Or they have kids and the Apple TV remote is quickly lost or broken as it is both small and fragile!

I have multiple of both Apple TV and Chromecast and they both have their benefits. The babysitter can control the Apple TV with their phone. With the Chromecast they need their own Netflix/Prime. Not nearly as good. For my own personal use Chromecast is best.

Edit: and of course on my newer TV’s most services are available as apps.
Because racism is still a thing
I only know that my MBP from last year has a shitty camera and the camera quality has been bad for many years. If you compare it to the frontside camera of the iPad.
hmm, so on public discord servers if someone copies my nickname and pretends to be me, someone might not easily notice?

Seems like a pretty readily used vulnerability. I remember back in high school on AIM someone made a username very similar to mine and said some nasty things to a girl I was talking to - she told me to stop talking to her and I didn't figure out why until years later. I imagine the same exploit could be done more easily if you can use the same username and discord actively tries to hide the hash.

Maybe I'm just overly sensitive since impersonation has hurt me, though.
I was thinking the same thing. Can AirTag help me find my car if I forgot where I parked?
I get it, but it's still a million times better than the competition.

My Samsung TV showed me banner ads before I disconnected it from the internet.
I was so ready to pick up an AppleTV, but...

No spatial audio with the Airpods Max?

No separate digital audio out?

Apple doesn't seem to like music :p
Hint: tight up under the Brooks saddle with hot glue.
A bit ironic that RT is talking about this, right? A country that has some censorship issues is mocking a stupid award from a western company that also has censorship issues.
What is broken with your YT app? Mine works fine on Apple TV 4k, fully updated.
I'd really appreciate it if they stopped differentiating their products by the insanely sparse number of parts and low RAM capacity though.

Pretty cases and monitors are nice but I'd rather buy an otherwise ugly computer that doesn't force me into dongle hell and a painting.
Sure, and that's exactly why I want this. But with the same argument they could have put USB-C or even USB-A ports on the brick for permanently connected peripherals, but they didn't. I understand it would be almost impossible for Thunderbolt due to concerns with signal integrity, but normal USB should work fine.
I think you make some compelling arguments, and largely echo my own on this matter - immigration has long term unintended consequences, cultural among them.

That said, what do you see as a reasonable immigration policy? How many immigrants? Same as now, or way less? Do you see a Canada style points based system as desirable? Or is there a different criteria on which to evaluate potential migrants?
yes, along with an even more lucrative stream called "order flow" which is practically an order book crystal ball that allows HFT shops to front run retail traders (and one another)

some crypto exchanges also sell order flow but they don't really need to, as its far more profitable to front run their own users, whose entire account activity including sidelines and account balance transfers, is completely exposed to exchange insiders, who can trade against it. "oh look, whale user #4457 just transferred $100k of $COIN into their account. I wonder what they plan to do next?"
I hear Putin won a poison control award in Russia.
That's one painful side-by-side
>if banks and similar didn't keep screwing this up

They aren't "screwing it up". They eliminate the problem from their perspective via forcing people into binding arbitration and forbidding class actions, and also through promoting the concept of "identity theft" which eliminates the sense that they have any agency when there are compromises.

Every user agreement I see goes on and on about how you the consumer are responsible for any compromises on your end, so there's no question that the concept of being responsible for security is widely understood. It simply is not applied to corporations because they are able to reject it where individuals have no bargaining power.
The strategy as worded isn't wrong, assuming I understand their terminology. If an account with no special privileges can access the information at least once, it's essentially public information.

People are very worried about what it and isn't public, but these in-between areas where a platform puts up hurdles still aren't private.
What fields are that exactly?
> If I want a distributed system or something with a lot of I/O, Erlang and Go will always be better than Java.

Based on what?
M1 macs can run iOS apps natively, so I am guessing that the emulation for iOS development is a whole lot better. Sorry I can't really give you anything more concrete than that.

I would wait until the fall, though, it is likely that there will be a 15+ inch MBP with a new apple chip.
I suspect this is not a popular opinion, but Google's AGPL policy reads like FUD to me. From the first paragraph:

"...extremely difficult for Google to comply with..."

and

"...presents a huge risk to Google..."

and later in the document is the best part:

"This viral effect requires that the complete corresponding source code...".

All from a company which built itself on GPL software. This reminds me of Steve Ballmer ranting about Linux being a virus 20 years ago.

More:

"Do not install AGPL-licensed programs on your workstation, Google-issued laptop, or Google-issued phone without explicit authorization from the Open Source Programs Office."

Assuming Google follows its own policy, this just creates a hassle for its employees. Worse, Google making this public sends a strong anti-AGPL message to other companies. I'd bet $10 RStudio server (AGPL) is installed somewhere at Google (perhaps the commercial version). But other organizations with less sophisticated legal departments might just ban RStudio completely following Google's lead. I would not call Google irresponsible here, but I think it could act more responsibly.
The pay for most Apple contractors in Austin is abysmal. Multiple people I knew from UW earned barely over $30k a year working there.
Bash and Elasticsearch Multisearch
I think that's because the update occurs when the caret actually move not on keypress.

When removing a letter using delete the caret doesn't move, and when deleting a newline it does.

Just like in the case of moving the caret using arrow keys after a delete updates the title, but if you're at the end of a line after the delete and use the right arrow key the title doesn't change because the caret never moved.
Youtube removed support for the app, it's sad but it is what it is. It's like if an app stops working on your phone because the company no longer wants to support it.

Its more having a fake second class worker which benefits massively the employer and not real self employed people.
I also heard that rumour about the ports, but I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced with them releasing this new iMac with only USB-C ports. If their desktop Mac doesn't have ports, why would their laptop?
Ok? It's a local newspaper from Florida, why should they be expected to do extra work to support Europeans? You're not entitled to access their site. These local papers are struggling to keep the lights on to serve their communities. YOUR government decided to make GDPR this stringent, and the European Parliament ignored warnings about exactly this happening. You can get your reporting second hand from a European source that follows your laws, at cost to you, or be left out of the loop because your continent expects the rest of the world to follow their laws.

The choice was made in Europe. You reap what you sow.
Absolutely insane. Already have a task in to move all our authentication away from them.
Are these joined chiplets? Or legit a giant die?
When has Apple ever put out a macOS update that didn't support 4-year-old hardware?

Big Sur still runs on iMacs from mid 2014. (And MacBook Airs from mid 2013.) [1]

And most apps will continue to run on older macOS for several more years anyways.

Plus, while a good monitor might technically last 15 years... that doesn't mean you want to keep using it. New technologies like Retina, P3, micro-LED, etc. mean that by the time you want to upgrade your computer, you often want to upgrade your monitor too.

Wow, finding out just how many services use Auth0 because of this. Like I can't log into Segment (getting a 500).

I guess Okta did buy something core to the Saas ecosystem
About 20 or so years ago, I was working at Microsoft and decided to see if I could find a bug in Notepad. With a bit of playing around I actually got it to crash with an access violation by doing something like scaling the font to a gigantic size, then print(preview?)ing it. Coincidentally, around the same time I attended a small talk by the guy who was listed as the current dev owner for it, so I tapped him on the shoulder afterwards and told him about it. Before listening to the repro steps, he assured me with complete confidence it was not a notepad bug and that I should go step through it for another look. I did, and he was right, it was a bug in the user mode part of the printer driver.
Eagerly waiting for the day this is done to x64 AND Memory. Imagine one of these Jumbo dies for Compute and Networking, another for Memory. Current Top 500th super computer have ~30,000 cores.... We shouldn't be far away. :) Current top of the line x64 chip could well be the BMC chip of this imaginary computer. ;)
Yes, you can. Tokyo and Houston are perfect counterexamples.

Obviously government is required for the planning and zoning reform aspects but the idea that any solution to housing price issues isn't building more is non-sensical. Singapore's solution is just building HBDs!
I think we don't have the same definition of locked down. I can download Linux compatible tools to my Mac and run server compatible software locally. I can install custom browsers, development environments, etc. This just isn't compatible with iOS app model.

The only way I see this happening is if they let you run docker images/VMs. Even then it would suck for front-end. And it's such a niche use case from their perspective - I don't see this happening ever.
I bought an appletv because it doesn’t pop up ads like other streamers. Only search functionality is where I have issues where it prioritizes apple content over other providers It seems to be a recent change too because search used to work when first got it.
I hope you like phone levels of RAM and storage.
Tools to manage Node versions (nvm and volta) should also probably be on the list.
> I don't think you'll see a lot of major projects under super-liberal licenses in the future. You will see such licenses for libraries and other components.

And that seems fine, at least if you subscribe to the Unix philosophy of composability. Honestly, I love Django, but for some projects I'd love even more to use just Django's ORM without all the other stuff (which I also like, but is irrelevant for some projects).
> committed to looking at options

The option they are looking for is the full repeal of the GDPR. Otherwise they aren't going to bother to do anything.
America's Smug Elite Is Harming Our Kids
It can do 120 FPS, which is considered “high frame rate” for televisions. 60 FPS is generally considered standard.
If the Timescale License is less restrictive than AGPL, then why not dual-license your product under the Timescale License and AGPL? Wouldn't that give everyone the best of both worlds?
Yes, I have noticed that as well. But Bill Burr is a significantly higher profile guest than the usual comedians whose careers revolve around the LA/Southern Calif area.
Proprietary infrastructure = All infrastructure essentially.

So you're fine with a license that can't be used for SaaS. So basically you're happy for the commercial internet to be powered by proprietary software - with all that would mean for free software.
It’s not a win for everyone. If Apple ends up controlling most of the subscriptions and revenue, then they will also gain control of the ecosystem. All of the things they do in the App Store, for example censoring content they don’t like, will come to podcasts. They will simply suck the air out of the room.
It closes the server loophole in which companies will use and modify Free software they're using just on their servers, but never make those changes available to clients, which is not restricted by just the regular GPL.
Counter opinion:

I don't want to host Elasticsearch myself, which is why I pay Elastic to host several clusters. That said, I really don't want to be locked into a single-vendor situation, which is what Elastic is realistically aiming for. I am 100% glad that Amazon forked ES, because it preserves the benefits of using an open source stack. I still have a choice of hosted providers. In my opinion, the amazon fork is much more likely to lead to a healthy ecosystem of hosted ES providers than the Elasticsearch version.
It must be sound or it's of no use. Reminds me of the Ultraviolet Catastrophe. They had a theory that gave them precise answers, they just happened to be blatantly wrong.
I generally want any member of the viewing party to be able to hit the pause button when they want to say something or step away for a moment. I also like being able to instantly hit a button in the dark purely with muscle memory. A TV remote on the coffee table really can’t be beat.
Without a buyer agent, the buyer can get a 3% discount on the sale price.
I know my company has this policy and they are in California. Whether the policy is enforceable or not does not matter when you're talking about someone's livelihood and personal hobbies. If a business can take both of those from you then they don't need a court to make it enforceable. It's enforceable via the sheer amount of determination and will-power you would need to tap into in order to defend this in court.

I'm interested in if there's an open database of companies with this kind of policy. I certainly don't want to bully or harass them, but this is good information to know going into an interview.
You can start a quote, but down the info the they already had, and it will check their internal systems and say "oh, is this you?"
Like left pad
The iPad has had this for a while.

It's really an entirely different (and much better) gaming experience. It makes your iPad more like a Nintendo Switch.

Unfortunately most games ignore the controller because not enough people do this.

If Apple is serious about gaming, they'll need to actually ship a controller with the Apple TV at some point.
A lot of podcasts mentioned that ad revenue dried up during Covid and they switched to a subscription model because of it. I feel like I can hear the quality drop in the podcasts that continue to have ads.
iPad is a "computer" for people who just browse internet, watch YouTube and play games. Bringing the whole macOS experience to iPad would be a distracting endeavour IMO. Yeah, it'd be dope for some people, but the number of those people is overestimated.
Hopefully it'll be on the larger model.

I think they may segment it as "iMac Pro"
Thanks for correcting me on this. You're right, they have TB3 (and just not TB4). I was confused and thought they just had USB-C.

My read above is just wrong.
No disagreement there, the webcams in MacBooks and other laptops are bad. But they're not bad because they don't have enough pixels. They're bad because the lens isn't great, the sensor is too small (or simply a bad sensor) or many other reasons.
Except for the fact that Apple closed their walled garden for free podcasts recently why would anyone want to get into bed financially with Apple over your own content? Selling ads for your own podcast is not impossible. It is work, but not much. I fear most sponsors will slowly only do business with Apple, Spotify, etc.... essentially drying up a market that currently works for everyone.
Everyone should know that youtube-dl exists and how to use it.

Thank you! AGPL is a fine license for software freedom.
man bash

woefully underused, but has everything and is extremely well written with no fluff.
Yes. The product could be much better for what it is/does.

What I listed is probably the best case scenario. If it had 1 or more of the things I was looking for - I would consider it.

I will add "one more thing"... recharges wirelessly so that if it is on my dog, and I have the charger near his bed... way cool.
destroy your competition by means of public apis! its great
When you can play DOTA2 on an iPad I'll be impressed
Government policy is inherently concerned with those kinds of moral tradeoffs. Vaccines and lockdowns naturally pose such questions.
So the one released almost 10 years ago.

For gaming, you might enjoy Teamspeak. It's closed-source, but you can run own your server, it's very much focused on voice comms, uses Opus and (IMO) has better audio filters.
Well, with the JS PC emulator from Bellard (or the Risc-V one), you could run Windows XP in the web the same way you can with Windows 2000.

> If the core companies maintaining them did not do this they would eventually die

Good riddance. Incumbents owned by corporations have too much control and prevent replacement projects from arising. When a community builds a solution, how it works is dictated by its users and developers, not profits.
This isn't inductive charging, though. Just a magnet that keeps the physical wired connection together.
Discord has voice chat, file uploads, and image and video hosting.

It’s not just glorified IRC. The bandwidth and storage costs are real.
I've heard an insider rumor that there was a plan years ago to make an Apple TV that would compete directly with the PS4. It was shelved because the person in charge of the App Store simply hated games and believed that music is the only art form worthy of respect.

This led to that person demanding the limited set of Bluetooth channels be allocated in such a way that sufficiently responsive game controllers would be impossible. And, thus the concept was shelved.

That person was later moved to be in charge of Apple Music.
I won't name my city (in the South East US), but we have high quality water. I have zero problem drinking from the tap. In fact, I would probably move if I had to use a filter.
The chin was probably the best idea for speakers but it's not a worthwhile tradeoff. The decision to have a chin makes it look dated and I would have preferred a rounded back instead.
If your threat model is 1 day, it's pretty hard to use that for any sort of "find lost things" product. If I forgot my keychain at work, is it going to beep the entire night? What if I'm out sick the next day? Is it going to annoy all my coworkers for the entire day?
No, it had to do with differing number of PCI lanes.

I'm no expert on this but the lipid coating allows it to enter the cell where the coating is removed and the reverse transcription happens. I've read that any of the mRNA that is injected will be gone within 2-3 in the body.
Apple's so popular their branding is the device itself without logo. Only the biggest brands have this luxury. I agree though - the logo would have made more sense.
