There's a whole bunch of reasons I keep disabling modern standby on my laptop.
(And that's 'keep disabling' because either Dell or Microsoft keep switching it back on after updates - note this is a Windows feature, not a Dell-specific thing).

[Edit: In addition, the reg key to disable it keeps changing from release to release...]

The two most annoying ones:

1 - while in the middle of a VoIP call via a wireless headset, lock laptop while walking away from desk to make a cup of tea in the next room, 30 seconds later laptop goes into 'standby', cutting off the call...

2 - WiFi never wakes back up properly out of modern standby, either disable/re-enable, or disconnect/reconnect works to bring it back perfectly ok.

Russia's Navalny criticises Apple, Google over app removal
I have an high-end XPS 13 from 2020 (9310), allegedly with native Linux support, and have the exact same issues.

My previous XPS 13 from 2016 was suspending properly but now I cannot suspend my "laptop" for more than a day (it will die) or store it in a bag (it will become lava). Hibernate does not work either.

I'm learning with this thread that it also happens on Windows and I'm struggling to understand how Dell could decide to sell "laptops" at this price and not test one of the most basic features of a laptop.

PoS is not the successor of PoW. FBA consensus is. PoS is and always was just a adjusted new version of same idea that only removed the energy problem. The comparison between PoW and PoS is a useless distraction. Its like comparing diesel ICEs with gas ICEs ignoring EVs completely.

>and people are willing to pay the cost.

No they are not. BTC runs on the block reward not on the fees.
Without block reward the average Tx fee would be like 150 USD. (Not accounting for the fact that this would significantly drop the number of Tx which would then raise the cost for the rest of the transaction even higher.)
Counter anecdote: the last traditional forum that I have any interaction with was so plagued by spam that they turned off registration and the new registration system is “send an email to the admin asking for an account”. Needless to say, they aren’t a growing community anymore. They also don’t use SSL because none of their admins are fluent enough to set up LetsEncrypt. Don’t forget that lots of non-technical or less-technical people like to have forums too.

Is that a bad thing? Items would become more durable, planned obsolescence for products would all but disappear. Things would need to last a long time otherwise people won't spend on it. It would be good for landfills, fewer electronics and plastic garbage.

Fascinating, I didn't know Guam was a hub for cable intersections in the pacific ocean.

All fair. But there is no free lunch.

The burden of the proof always lies with the person or the entity trying to sell something.

The government failed to sell QE and bailouts to the population, the government further failed to sell inflation target at 2% to the population.

Had government not failed in selling these concepts we'd not have bitcoin.

Government as always can't sell. Otherwise it won't be government.

To be honest so is USB-C. When the connector is not designed for hundreds of matings it will fail sooner than expected. USB-A connector was designed for 12 matings. For USB-C i could not find anything on DDG.

The past 5-10 years saw 2 dominant connectors from phones thanks to this EU initiative. If EU didn't actually make good on their promise to punish those companies that didn't conform then you'd start seeing the industry diverge again and we'd have 10+ connectors again in 10 years. So it seems like you'd be in favor of pushing Apple to USB-C here, since you liked the standardization.

You can't just say "Apple can do whatever they want, but every other company has to fall in line!". If you don't want other companies to do whatever they want then you wont let Apple to do it either.

Disagree completely, if they don't care to add such a relatively basic feature that every other environment has and don't care if their users have a 90s level experience opening documents which users do multiple times a day then why would you expect any of the rest of the system to have any care and attention paid to it?

> That's not what "microservices" is.

That's how it sometimes ends up. You said:

> For starters, the main selling point of microscopes is not performance. It is organizational advantages. It is a way to draw clear and crisp lines regarding ownership and ops.

But that's just regular old services. The "micro" in "microservices" usually implies smaller services, and one extreme of that is having more services than engineers. That's something I saw happen, heard about and read about. Microservices can be abused by making them too small and making too many of them. Uber is an example of that.
Nice write-up, but I think the point is on the newer XPS' the S3 option is completely gone.

Thanks. I wasn't aware. English isn't my native language.
It’s amazing to see that we are essentially just having one huge LAN party. I wonder if the inventors of the phone or internet could have ever imagined this. Now with low orbit satellites connecting the world too, the innovation is incredible on this planet.
Remember the uproar when Apple switched from the 30 pin connector to the Lightning adaptor? Apple promised they would stick with Lightning for at least 10 years. Next year is the 10th anniversary of that decision.

Meanwhile the Lightning adaptor inspired USB-C. Apple has adopted USB-C on their iMac, MacBook and iPad product lines. I expect Apple to adopt USB-C on next year's iPhone as well, since it's the 10th anniversary of adopting Lightning.

On the bright side, by "Apple hating it", we're not stuck with the abomination known as micro-USB. We've come to a better place. Who knows? Maybe Apple was right all along.

The AN0M phone created by the FBI was probably the most successful luxury phone we will ever see, where people paid thousands of dollars for them, and used them both practically and as a status symbol for their unique lifestyle use cases. They disinhibited themselves on the AN0M platform because it gave them a sense of freedom, safety, exclusivity, and privilege - everything a luxury product aspires to do. XOR or even Apple could learn a thing or two from them.

But I'd also argue security features are what you need when you don't have power, because you in effect psychologically inferiorize yourself to both your threat model and your security provider, so that's why apple plays down their security narrative in their luxury brand as well. Security as a feature makes most experiences kind of lame in anything it touches, so I don't think it's a very sound basis for a luxury product.

The M1 [0] tracks physical currency in the economy. It would appear there is a rather large amount of literal money printing afoot. So while a sharp turn to dictatorship could stabilise the currency, there are probably less extreme measures the US government could take to keep inflation at 0%. 75% of (physical, not the important ones in bank accounts) dollars literally appeared after 2016.

The M1 isn't the measure that matters - but it is a fact that large amounts of money are appearing from somewhere and that is probably the most significant factor in the currency losing value. Price controls are an overreaction, there are easier ways to make the currency more stable.

My first XPS had a fun little design quirk where the laptop display itself obstructed the (single and only) exhaust vent.

Out of the factory, the airflow was acceptable, but after a year of use and dust buildup, guess what... the laptop would overheat!

Double whammy -- the air that _could_ get through was so hot that it would also deform the part of the screen that obstructed the vent.

The sync over async issue is a real common problem for me when trying to get a large older codebase converted to async and you can't just do it all at once.

You still need support non async callers and you want to share code between the new async version and the old sync versions it makes it really difficult to do so.

Say you have a db layer you want to move to async but you still have to support a sync api over that, no great way to do it without hitting the potential issues, instead you have to have two versions in the db layer with no great way to share code.

What worse is when you don't even have the option to go async for instance if your not on .Net core but Framework 4.8 with the latest version of ASP MVC there is no ExecuteResultAsync on a action result so you really can't call any async code there safely, they added it to MVC core later.

Bottom line sometimes you're at the mercy of your callers and not being able to easily expose a sync version of your api when needed without a bunch of code duplication is a real problem that I have hit. I really think they should have spent more time in the beginning to allow that scenario without pitfalls and the transition would have been much smoother.

Any diabetic can confirm for themselves my claim about the Dexcom G6's unacceptable persistent error states.

Simply compare the CGM with your glucometer (testing 8x per day, for example), and watch the CGM go wrong (and stay wrong) on day 5 or 6 of using the sensor.

I wish what you said was true. I would love to have a CGM that works better than a glucometer, but they don't exist yet. In particular, the Dexcom G6 is inaccurate in a harmful way.

What is kind of neat for your case maybe is that you can run btrfs scrub even on raid0 or a single drive. The scrub command reads the whole filesystem and verifies checksums, so you can be sure that the data is readable and correct.

I think the NFT thing is kinda ridiculous. But then so are plenty of other marketing shenanigans. Maybe it could have worked?

But once it was picked up by the grift/hype/fincrime machine that has eaten cryptocurrencies, it lost all semblance of plausibility to me. It has gone from something like "I bought a small piece of a creator whose work I treasure" to "ZOMG MAKE MONEY FAST".

As an example, take the guy who was big on what he calls investing and I call gambling, who proposed to his girlfriend with an NFT:

For me it's the same deal with cryptocurrencies in general. Interesting idea, and I want to visit the alternate reality where it was developed gradually and sanely by the sort of curious, well-meaning person that got into it early on. But the sort of value-based innovation I care about got stomped long ago.

Getting old, forgotten C/C++ code running can be a job. It's really a matter of how well written the make files were and if one still has the original tool chain sitting around. C/++ code written for a paid, closed-source compiler can require a lot of changes to get running under something like GCC.

Not sure how Ruby's backwards compatibility is, since I don't use it, but I have to imagine it's like most other scripting languages in that getting the correct major version is all you need.
I don’t disagree at all, it’s just about difference phases of a business’ arc. Early on you take big risks and move quickly, optimizing for completely different things than when you’re further along and more established. And sometimes you’re happy to do the slower soft work of trying to turn a giant ship (case in point, this is my current position) but other times you just want to ride the ocean on a raft that you’re cobbling together from passing driftwood. Both approaches are terrible fits when attempted at the wrong phase of a company’s lifecycle, but that doesn’t mean a person can’t appreciate the different modes while understanding why the grass looks greener. (I also know that being total yolo to start something is a myth, but so is the idea that everything at a large established business should involve slow consensus-building).

“Predictable Success” is one of the few business books I recommend, not because it’s necessarily revelatory but rather because it verbalizes these concepts so well.

> So authoritarian action is okay if it’s against bad things?

You're adding context that isn't really being discussed. If the discussion is 'Should we support actions by Xi, as an authoritarian, even if we agree with them?', then I'd say no. We shouldn't support actions by Authoritarian regimes.

That's not what discussed here. The discussion here is 'Is this action net positive or net negative?'. I believe it is net positive.

I can acknowledge the beneficial aspects of an action independent of it's executor. Bringing the executor into the conversation changes the topic. Think of it like discussing rocketry advancements in the 20th century. Nazis played a big role, but you can talk about how awesome rockets are without invoking them.

Do you seriously propose that 'defund the police' has no effect whatsoever on the murder rate? Here is a list of largest 100 American cities by party affiliation. Feel free to research whether political affiliation of the city leadership, thus propensity to embrace 'defund the police' policies, has anything to do with the spike in murders.

Unfortunately I am not aware of professional studies of the matter. Perhaps there will never be. Given an academic system that is 99% affiliated with one political party, difficult to find people willing to scuttle their careers by researching topics that might place policies associated with that political party in anything but the most positive light.
