These are hardly data collected by Apple Watch, unless someone is being inventive with one. These come from HealthKit. Which is alarming as HealthKit can also sync your EHR from health providers.
What's funny about it is that apparently some of their WatchOS/device combos have FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 certifications. Pretty useless security theatre if you then shuffle the data around to other operating systems or into arbitrary servers with complex infrastructures.

Do a search for either skywriting or air/sky tours, for a major city like NYC or SF, and you'll find companies offering planes and helicopters pretty low across the city for personal or promotional reasons. Not even that expensive, at least on the non-premium tours. Though a pretty nasty business in my opinion, both for wasting fuel on private flights and for making noise over lots of people in the city who get no benefit from having machines rumbling above their heads.

Unless you're talking about specifically thinking it looks too low in the photos, in which case I would assume it's just a case of their doing a good job planning the positions for two different flights to get great photos of one from the other that are framed well around the Apple locations.
There is something OS specific: Windows has some setting to wake up when a WLAN connection is available. I had this issue once, that I hibernated it, put it in a bag and went home. On the way it must have picked up some WLAN somewhere and have turned on, while in my bag, while the lid is closed, while hibernated ... And I believe this was the standard setting. I mean, who in their right mind wants their laptop to turn on, when the lid is even closed only, because they are in range of some WLAN? What a silly setting. This has probably fried many machines and also probably their owners still do not know, that Windows was the culprit, not their hardware. Fortunately my way home was not long at that time, so the overheating was avoided in time multiple times, until I figured out what was going on. Well, now I do not use Windows any longer, except rarely, so no such issues.
Something seems a bit off with your numbers. If you're losing 5% of your battery "overnight" (at least 8 hours I assume), and you have the larger 86Wh battery, that implies a discharge rate of only 537mW.

900mw - nearly a whole watt - seems very high! Easily enough to cause noticeable warming - a running modern laptop at idle only uses 3-6 watts.

i agree that we need to hold massive corporations to a higher standard, but security is incredibly difficult. this comment is more directed at all of the comments who are dismissive of how difficult good security is.

even some of the sharpest security/privacy minds on the planet, who work for organizations who exist purely to make secure software or hardware stumble often.

now add in that we actually expect our devices to also be usable, and yes, security is very very _very_ difficult.

if someone hasn’t learned by now that every device will eventually be cracked, we should question their ability to reason.

now again, we should absolutely expect more from apple/google/$company than we do, but we also can’t hand-wave away that security is very hard.

How to Get Started with Tracking Tech Debt
I had a Dell XPS 9310 until about 3 months ago when suddenly one of the fans died on me for no obvious reasons while I was in quarantine. Given that the fans are now soldered onto the mainboard, Dell was offering me to repair this for almost the same amount I paid for the whole laptop 2 years earlier. Needless to say that this was the last time I will buy a Dell.

Since I am located in Asia, I also went to one of the unauthorized repair shops to see if they could offer a cheaper way to get this done. When I walked in, I saw two customers in front of me with Dells. When it was my turn, I also asked which laptop brands are having the most and least issues. Not surprisingly, Lenovo and Dell rank very high. The Taiwanese (Asus, Acer) as well as Razer and hp were considered of higher quality.

Good for you. You probably happen to use your Macs in a way you don't hit those bugs, and didn't have to deal with faulty hardware. I'm sure things are flawless most of the time too.

My computers also go to sleep reliably. They are professional hardware, of good quality, and from different brands. I'm sure other models of other brands or of the same brands have quirks, or that there are people who have problems with the same hardware/software as mine because they use it differently.

Maybe it's not that much a Mac vs the rest of the world thing. Evidence is that people have problems with any kind of hardware and brands, this is indisputable.

> How would you even do that?

There is usually some led visible somewhere, or a small noise, when the thing failed to fall asleep. You know your computer.
I thought that was the whole topic of this conversation.
Yeh, the problem is that to force iPhones to use usb-c, they need to force everything to use usb-c, for the forseeable future, regardless of what other standards there are to be invented.

It seems that alot of these articles tend to forget that devices exist, and will be created, beyond iphones.
> Azure often has a feeling of being held together with a lot more sticky tape behind the scenes than I would want to know about.

This is my feeling. And I think it makes sense - vast swathes of how Google and Amazon work already rely on cloudy engineers (although they were there before cloud was a thing). Microsoft has much more split focus, with Windows, SQL Server, AD, Dynamics, Xbox, and Office all being large areas of engineering specialism that in no way feed into cloudy areas.

Bing and Xbox Live do, I suppose, but I bet they're built in a totally different way to both each other and, say, Teams, which I think is k8s in the back.

So my theory is there's much less of the company that does cloudy things, and even when they do (e.g. Bing, Xbox Live), there's probably a lack of a commonality of technical approach compared to what Azure exposes to customers.
If was certainly the norm for laptops in the €500-700 range from the late 00s to at least a few years ago. Happened to the Acer laptop I used in my college days

Not at all; the Special Relationship is a standard political term that refers specifically to the relationship between the US and Britain.

I'm kinda surprised they go for privacy aspects and customizability.

Android is Linux enough for most use cases, and the big problem is just having root access to it and an ability to customize.

I implemented once an Espruino target for webpack to enable a git workflow, npm packages, and transpile modern JS features to ES5, as supported by Espruino (targeting an esp8266 specifically).

Boy oh boy I did not expect to run into memory issues so quickly. Including async/await increases the size of the build so much the esp just dies.

But most npm packages worked just fine, including lodash ( a life saver), as long as you’re willing to work with the super tiny memory budget and the difficulty to detect memory leaks.

Using an esp32 with 8mb of PSRAM yielded much better results.

Good times.
Modern laptops are fucking infuriating this way. I always go over my sleep and shutdown settings, trying to make things as "off" as possible yet they never seem to quite get there. Devices that are supposed to be turned off die overnight. Devices that are supposed to be off still show as connected to the wifi router. It makes you have zero faith in your computer when you do everything you can to turn it off and it still loses most of its charge after a day in your bag.
It's something about modern standby. I have a laptop with a 10th Gen i7. I put it in my bag once and when I pulled it out after my trip, the fans were running at full blast and the laptop was extremely hot. I'm also fairly sure it damaged the fan because it's never been able to run at higher speeds ever since.

I'm also not sure if it's a bug or something else. I do feel like there's something problematic about modern standby. I didn't have this issue under Linux, which actually does standby properly.

The problem is not Javascript itself IMO, the problem is that there exists a large portion of web-only developers with knowledge only about Javascript, who try to cram it down every corner and every problem space that they can. This leads to things like Electron polluting a space where Qt/wxwidgets/win32/GTK would be technically superior by producing small and native binaries, yet we get steaming messes of Chromium that swallow hundreds of megabytes of RAM and waste millions of CPU cycles.

In 2021, nobody likes programming efficiently in native languages anymore it seems.

Yeah conspiracy theory, misinformation and possibly disinformation for monetary goals.
I wonder how much more efficient/cheaper in theory these need to be than the standard PV -> electrolyser route before they make sense.

Seems like the ability to have interchangeble electricity (which you can export and import to the system as needed) and the ability to locate the hydrogen production an aribtrary distance (with a transmission loss) from the energy gathering stage seem like a very decisive advantages, even before you consider the immense amounts of time and focus that are being put into improving PV cost and efficiency.

If this method works well, you'd probably still need to consider whether it would make more sense to generate the light artificially for similar reasons.

It has never been a question of computing power or memory, that was already solved decades ago. It is a question of fitting the µC to the application. Price and power consumption are usually the qestions to be answered. 0,50$ or 2$ chip still makes a difference.

You cannot claim that GDPR is a good law, not with the galaxy-sized loophole where you can track the vast majority of people just like before, as long as your annoy them first.

US Presidents don't have to, either. No other elected officials apart from the POTUS do, not even similarly-hated ones like Xi, Bolsonaro or Putin.

They spend the money because it's not their money, because they can, and to flex on other leaders who are more budget conscious. Even for Zucks a billion a year on security theater would be a bit rich - because he spends his own money.
Nothing is mandatory on a CV. You could send an anonymous one too.

As for the photos, i am not sure how many CVs you see, but the ~100-200 I saw in tech across the last 5 years all had a picture (except a very few ones, which I noticed). I do not pay much attention to the picture because of experience (I am horribly bad on pictures, and some of the best people I worked with were extravagant), but this is me.

There is nothing legal or illegal there, just a matter of tradition and therefore not having one makes you stad out, not necessarily in a good way.
Could you elaborate on what you mean here? How is Bitcoin multi-level marketing or a ponzi scheme?
You could argue this for pretty much anything? Your mac screen failure is LG's fault, not Apple's. Your Asus GPU's failure is Nvidia's fault, not Asus's. Your internet outage is Cisco's fault, not your ISP's.

Ultimately the company selling to the end user has to stand over the package they're selling.
You can turn power nap off, and "some macs have issues" is _very_ different from Dell saying "if you put it in your bag on standby it voids your warranty".
So, all of them.

> 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. Small teams are able to design and deploy and run and troubleshoot small bits of a large machine without wasting time in back-and-forths with other teams, and they can put in place safeguards so that if other teams screw up then their blast radius is limited.

That's true, but at this point we should clarify what we mean by microservices. By "microservices", I mean "you end up with more services than engineers". If you've got a team for each service, then I would just call them services. I also don't agree that back and forth with other teams is always a waste of time, especially since just after this you talk about limiting their blast radius if they screw up. That's probably necessary if your org doubles every year or already has thousands of engineers, but that's not for everyone.

> But regarding performance, let's not fool ourselves into believing that there's always a fatter network pipe and a beefier box to deploy to. Often there is, but often there simply isn't.

I don't think we are talking about the same thing here. My point was that if you don't have network effect (like Twitter or Facebook), there's no need to put all of your users into the same box. You could have the extreme opposite, one instance for each users. So you only need to be able to handle your biggest client.

> Once you are forced to deploy your monolith into multiple instances, most of the criticism directed at microservices is rendered moot.

I don't think that's true. Having multiple instance of a monolith is not the same as having multiple different services.

> Also, there's the reliability aspect. If you want to have a reliable service then you need redundancy, which means multiple deployments. Once you have to deal with load balancers serving traffic to multiple instances of your monolith, there is no longer a significant architectural and ops difference in whether you operate a monolith or shave a service or two out of it. Thus most of the criticism directed at microservices is rendered moot.

> Lastly, some orgs are ok with serving users in a very limited geographical region. That's perfectly fine. Other orgs might have users in different parts of the globe. Do you expect them to tolerate latencies in the 200-500ms range routinely, or do you find acceptable to reel in those latencies back to the 50ms territory by deploying a part of the service closer?

Again, I don't think that's true. You can have one/multiple monolith instances in each region. You may argue that it's not strictly a monolith if there is a routing and load-balancing service in front of it, and that's true, but it's also not a microservice architecture.
