Personally I love having a desktop plugged in as I mainly watch YouTube, Plex and play games, but for someone who's planning to use a lot of DRM-encumbered services like Netflix, they often restrict the streaming resolutions available to desktop PCs where the DRM isn't as capable. A Shield will work nicely in those cases though.

I really wish the author included an explanation for this. What are "default headers"? What special header(s) needs to be on the request in order for a preflight request to be made?

I haven’t read the EU report, but I’m guessing they’re either talking about the streaming business, or they didn’t care about the iPod.
I believe all you need is an iCloud account. If you do get an Apple TV here’s the best way to subscribe to video services. Subscribe to the video service using the Apple TV app (confusing to have an app with the same name as the device). Then install the corresponding app and watch the programs using that service’s app. This will allow you to cancel services easily and you won’t have to create an account for each video service. The Apple TV app itself is garbage and I only watch Apple TV+ content on it.

Not OP, but I've been using a Durgod Taurus K320 TKL for two years as my primary work keyboard with no problems. I like it quite a bit.
I think you're right, but that has nothing to do with free markets. Quite the opposite.
For me it is just more fun to write on a mechanical keyboard. I've never measured it, but I think that I'm writing a bit faster on it. But anyway, there is no other reason for me than that I like the the feeling, the sound and the mechanical quality. It's like drinking good wine.
They also host HTTP 203 videos on specific topics on Youtube, which are also excellent. For example here is a video about the different Javascript APIs you could use to keep an app in sync across multiple tabs or devices:

I originally had Roku for the same reason. The thing that made me leave is when they started pushing channels down to my Roku that I didn't request. The first time it happened I thought someone else in the family downloaded it, or maybe even I did by accident. Once it happened a few more times and I was able to determine they did this on purpose, I immediately dumped Roku and will never use their products again.
>> As far as I know, most of the work in AI explainability and
interpretability—with the former applying to any system for which reasoning can
be generated and the latter applying to “self-explainable” models that people
can understand more or less on their own—is still about developing different
techniques.

It's worth noting that expert systems, the dominant AI approach of the '80s and
'90s, were perfectly capable of explaining the reasons for their decisions. For
example, see chapter 4, "Explanation" in the free "Building Expert Systems in Prolog" ebook from Amzi Prolog that
describes a "mechanism of explanation" that walks backwards through the decision
process of the expert system studied:

https://www.amzi.com/distribution/files/xsip_book.pdf

In that sense, the dominant approach nowadays, that of deep neural nets, is a
big step backwards: explaining a deep neural net's decisions is very hard.

To be a little critical, I think the article is trying to make a virtue out of
necessity, or perhaps it's just sour grapes. Who cares about explanation, it's
not a real problem, etc. Well, if modern AI was good at producing explanatiosn
of its decisions, you can bet that it would be offered up as a great advantage
of the current techniques. But because it's hard to do and the public, as
expressed by the NIST draft document, are getting impatient about it, then we
need to come up with excuses why no progress is been done.

If you want to understand how a distribution works, I can't think many better distributions. I have a lot of fond memories of slackware. I eventually switched to debian when, I think, I had troubles getting vmware to work. I'm happy with debian but I definitely feel I've swapped understanding and control for convenience. Linux is a lot less fun now but since I now want to spent my time elsewhere that's a decent tradeoff for me.

That sounds like a very good argument for more reform, not less. The fact is those problems have always existed and aren't going away any time soon, so while waiting for better conditions before we tackle major societal problems might seem sensible in theory, in practice it just means letting the wounds fester indefinitely.
Of course it was a straw man, but you know that. ;) So your point now is that you’ve changed your mind and conceded that narrow specific technical terms with uncommon meaning that few people know and contain commonly used words have no bearing on whether people should use those common words elsewhere?

He doesn't discuss the problems or limitations. Here's his section on "assessing" myer briggs

>I tend to test as an “INTP.” Everyone now understands the usefulness of introversion versus extroversion. The difference between the “P” (extreme comfort with uncertainty) vs. colleagues and romantic partners who are “J” (a tendency to nail things down, to be decisive and minimize uncertainty) has also been useful at times. When I interview people I also sometimes notice the “S” (sensing) tendency to be super literal and concrete, in good and bad ways, versus the more abstract “N” (intuition). I think it’s particularly useful to track S vs. N between yourself and someone you work for or who works for you, because communication difficulties may boil down to that dimension, and it’s useful to have a vocabulary for the tension.

He doesn't pause for even a second to consider that perhaps myer briggs could be a bad tool for determining these aspects of a personality or to acknowledge that even if this was the case, people don't behave honestly in professional situations anyway.

I have a 4 bay TS-453 Pro (Celeron J1900). I swapped out one of the HHDs for an SSD with the distro install and created a ZFS array with other three drives.

In my experience, BIOS/EFI comes up if you mash F2 with a HDMI monitor and a USB keyboard and mouse attached. Your mileage may vary.

A few niggly bits: the LCD says “System Starting” until LCDd/lcdmon starts and there is no control over the HDD activity lights. Fan Control is sufficient to quiet the fans to a tolerable level once Smart Fan is disabled in the EFI.

I've often wondered if some metered cable internet companies see 4k bandwidth increases coming and are planning on the overages.

I used to have one metered internet provider whose network crumbled when kids would be out of school and use would go up. I wonder if they mismanaged their finances or something to get into this state.

Sadly, more efficient codecs aren't going to decrease bandwidth enough.

I noticed that Xfinity, when you use a rented modem from them, will remove the cap for a small extra fee.

...which would kill them.

Investors need education. Which might hurt - but won't kill them.
Momentum is what you are doing as opposed to what you are with software. It can give a bit of a boost but if you are drifting along or actively going backwards it will guarantee decline sooner rather than later.

Of course the others decline with their core product as well but they have more mass making it harder to catch up and still drifting along. Boeing's 737 Max for instance. The electrical problems after they dumped their experienced engineers was a major red flag, more so than just dumping their experienced people to boost their apparent earnings. Not only did they make that dumb decision but the fact they had electrical fires was a hint their processes weren't adequately checking themselves in other areas too. If they had good processes but less experienced people and management that didn't have only vapor in their skulls they would have had delays instead of recalls and delays.
I have been developing a similar theory about technology, that would define particular technologies not as specific implementations, but as a set of all possible – and perhaps unthinkable yet – compromises around the impossible.

E.g., what’s a database? The definition changes over-time, but thinking of databases as “Good, useful compromises around the CAD-theorem (and its improved formulations)” might be very revealing and future-proof.
Tips on How to Effectively Introduce Chatbots to Your Customer Service
Yes, disenfranchising hundreds of millions of people on the European continent sure gets those Americans
But that's like saying that you shouldn't have more than one store per street, because they might stock exclusive items and that would be really annoying for customers to have to visit two stores for their shopping rather than one. Surely it's better to have only one store, even if it means your selection is limited by the store owner, think of all the inconvenience saved by not having any choice!

I'm being sarcastic of course, but I don't think it's that far off. Right now there are whole categories of apps that you simply cannot have as a customer(and which business cannot produce) because apple won't allow them. Not having choice is easier than having choice, sure.

And if - as an example - Epic releases Fortnite on their own store, rather than Apple store, and you as a customer don't want to go through the hassle of installing their store....then ultimately they lose out. But that's a business transaction then - if you want to buy something and the terms aren't convenient for yourself, then you just....don't.
Something which is unintuitive is that the 30% payment fee does not advantage Apple as much as it seems. Converting a customer to Apple Music from Spotify can't increase Apple's profit by more than what Spotify lost. You have to consider that the App Store's revenue will be reduced by that 30% cut if they are not charging that to the Apple Music department.

I'm not a huge RGB person, either. But my Thinkpad has plain white background LEDs. And even though I type blindly 98% of the time, I find it more comfortable to have some (slight) hinting when positioning.

Sad part for me: TIL that most keycaps with "shine through" need the LED above/north of the switch (else the LED mostly blinds the user), which means I need to rotate all switches by 180 deg. But the GMK caps (which are considered some of the "best") are known to cause trouble with that orientation. And some switches might be feel different as well.
I run MacOS almost entirely because multidpi running so seamlessly.

Windows support is kinda funny, it works fairly well normally but has all kinds of strange bugs. For example, if you switch in/out of full screen windows will just randomly move between displays. There are quite a few inconsistent scaling bugs.

I haven't played with xrandr multidpi, although I hear a lot of complaints about it. I've tried wayland, but I wasn't keen. I was very frustrated with sway (twm), which advertises itself as a drop in replacement for i3, but does many things differently. The fractional scaling on wayland can be blurry. There are still loads of bugs.

A minor bit from the article:

“The company’s most influential creation was a version of PostScript for the internet age: the Portable Document Format, or PDF, which remains a vital way of sending and printing documents from almost any machine on the internet.”

Semantics, but I’d argue Photoshop is the most influential creation. It is the verb people use to describe the digital alteration of images.

> no matter if they used apple infrastructure or not.

That’s not exactly right. If Spotify (just as an example) would acquire all of their customers through their website or desktop app then they would pay nothing to Apple. That fee is only there if a user does use the InApp purchase option which Spotify doesn’t have to offer. So they’re paying only 30% to Apple if the their customer has subscribed through the iOS App.
That doesn't work so well via remote ssh. :(
Predicting that they're going to charge a "bananas" amount for "hosting and distributing apps" -- ostensibly on the basis of the cost of all of these "free" users (where free means paid enormous amounts for devices based upon this service) -- certainly does seem to make that claim.

You are right. Adding third-party PPAs is not secure (it is because Linux distributions are not friendly to third-party software), that's why it is always better to download and unpack such software manually without running it as root.

Sure, but supply is limited in part because of the wealthy folks buying properties they will not use as a residence to hedge against inflation.

That real-estate is the least risky manner to protect wealth is a result of low interests rates and inflationary monetary policy. Printing as many dollars in the last year as there were in existence before, has perturbed a "normal" real-estate market. More dollars flying around means overbidding 10% is possible, especially since the additional interest is relatively negligible (wealthy folks will still take a loan in such conditions since rates are at rock-bottom).
David Mellinkoff's The Language of the Law deep dives into the reasons for, and shows many examples of, the "doublet" construction in legal language ("to have and to hold," to "cease and desist," to "seise and convey." Originally the idea was to insure that the legal concept was captured by including both the Saxon and the Anglo-French words. Eventually the construction itself became a legal style even when the words on either side of the conjunction shared the same etymology. The article skips over the fact that Law French was the language of the law in England until the 16th century and into the 17th; the law reports (the equivalent of the Federal Reporter today) were written in a strange mixture of French with English words. Any comprehensive law library has the Selden Society's printing of these texts.

That argument leads to the logical conclusion that Apple needs to be broken up so their music subsidiary have to pay their app store subsidiary the same 30% as Spotify do. Still not a logical defense.

> Who would force you to change? you could buy the US iPhone version with the diamond handcuffs.

I'm not sure how up to speed you are with the current state of the discussion around this topic, but the gist of it is that if you make changes to the App Store, then Apple's work with respect to privacy, security, etc. go out the window because major apps that want to abuse these things will move to third party app stores. Apple loses the ability to collectively bargain on behalf of users.

So, making the change almost surely will result in "forcing me to change". Maybe it won't, but I don't see a point in running that experiment.

> Then good job to Apple PR and fanboys, the stories about Apple malware and viruses were burried very deep.

Yea maybe they are. My own experience - nobody has ever had a problem with their iPhone. But PCs or even Macs? Yea I've had to do work. Almost always it's downloading and installing some thing they shouldn't have.

> So why this model will not work if you sideload an app? Do you need genius to check the menus of the app so you feel secure?

If you don't like iPhone and Apple so much why not just not use the products? I don't get this desire to change things that other people are quite happy with.
Roku is not just a pipe. They charge 20% of your income to have your streaming channel on Roku devices.

Big hitters like Netflix presumably negotiate custom contracts, but 20% is the standard rate.
As someone who has hired and worked with consultants, these make me chuckle a bit and I think speaks more to a problem of lack of self-awareness of the consulting side (and in the world in general) around consulting's primary role (false view driven mostly by recruiting material), and a bit of arrogance. Clients aren't just hapless rubes. They are domain experts in their industries and organizations and are quite aware of what consultants provide and what they don't. Consultants are a tool. If you're running an org, you don't have time to make excel models and presentations really at all. It's so freeing to be able to dump a bunch of raw data and some direction on a consultant and to have them drive a structured process of analysis product development. A less morally loaded way to think about what is being said in this story in the "I modeled a billion dollar loss story" is that on one side of the table you have a 22 year old with a lot of mental horse power but 0 years of relevant experience or context and 0 ownership of consequences of action. On the other side you have an exec with probably 10-25 years of industry and company experience and a vision, and skin in the game who is going to use the model probably mostly as a sensitivity analysis mechanism with colleagues and not a "this is an accurate state of the world in 2028" kind of way, which is the way that any model or simulation is used in real world decision making.
When I first heard of Linux in the late 90's, one of the main selling points for Linux was that it came with a free compiler. It is strange to think there was a time when people had to buy a boxed copy of a compiler to code.

No, Hastings canceled the project when it was already done to allow them to spin off because he didn’t want to be seen as in competition with hardware makers. He wanted Netflix to be everywhere.

Amazon has the same business model as Roku with the Fire.

They don’t raise prices for a few reasons

1. People are cheap

2. Most of their installed based is now coming from cheap low margin TVs with Roku embedded.

3. Selling a device that people only replace once every 5 years isn’t sustainable.

There is only one company selling streaming devices at a profit - Apple. Have you noticed that every streaming provider is on AppleTV day one even though it has the lowest market share by far?

Streaming providers can just download Xcode, follow a few simple requirements (not link to their website for payments) and submit an app.

Before I get the standard replies, no streaming providers are not required to go through in app purchases and many don’t - including YouTube Live TV.

Also before I get the other retort. Yes they do have to work with Apple to be integrated into the TV app. Which is an app on iOS devices.
