I hope they can get SoC vendors onboard. Broken & old BSPs are really tiring, as is waiting for the small user community to slowly upstream all that work. It can take years for the support for a new SoC to mature in upstream Linux. The companies building products upon these SoCs are kinda between rock and hard place, and I think this shows for the user as well (you get old kernel with little to no security updates? it's because you're using a hacked up BSP).

A similar issue with Bluetooth for me is that that if my phone is on my pocket, my body is readily blocking the signal, as it turns out water is great at absorbing 2.4ghz. Standing phone pocket away from my Bluetooth speaker is enough to interrupt the music.
Would be nice if the project could support Gemini and Gopher as well
Did you miss something? This entire thread is PRECISELY about NOT using mass production capabilities, as in a hobbyist builds a few of them. My point earlier was that it can be profitable if you do use mass production facilities.
You also don't have the issue of an errant foot or chair wheel squishing the connector flat and ruining it.

The problem is that they don't care enough to act. Tragedy of the commons.
Whilst I completely agree with you (alas) and frankly I am not sure I want to see Fuscia succeed (entirely for ideological reasons -- I believe in the value of the GPL) -- this part of you statement has a very clear answer:

> this would have prevented so much e-waste...

E-waste is effectively profit for the device manufacturer. Discarded phones mean that the whole portable computer that is still more powerful than what we had in universities 20 years ago has become worthless and needs to be bought again. It's created an income stream for the manufacturers -- and that's why they're not incentivised to fix these problems. I'm using a OnePlus 5 -- officially EOL and Obsolete! -- with modern LineageOS Rom and it flies. Of course, "official" apps don't like that at all (which is downright stupid of its own reasons), but I have got around that.

I'm sure OnePlus would rather that I threw the thing away and bought another shiny model to get Android 11. Frankly, I'll use it until it breaks and hope that the FairPhone people have caught up by then...
> Also on the "reasonableness" of Epic's promises... I'm not sure why making a pinky promise in a non-legal setting is any more serious than a legal contract they already choose to break.

Apple said they would reinstate Epic based on a pinky promise, they just wanted more in the promise they didn't question the promise itself. Pinky promises are absolutely a thing, not sure why you are ridiculing that part here.

I fully agree with you, but I have to admit I am not a mobile "power user", my usage pales in comparison to desktop usage.

But my only complaint is what I'd call a bug that I haven't reported. I have a custom search engine on the desktop, where I for example can rewrite e.g. "x leo whatever" to "search for whatever on leo.org", and I can call this via a literal https://example.org/leo%20whatever - but I can't get firefox to accept that I enter a url with a space, it will never open my own "https://example.org" with the params, it will always search google for "example.org" even if I prefix it with https:// - this is maddening and maybe I just haven't found the switch to remove this stupid omnibar trend. Oh, and the url bar at the bottom is weird, but I'm not even complaining.

Thank you so much in advance
The post is from 9 years ago, I wonder if there has been an update since?

Edit: wow, it spawned an entire subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/theeternalwar/
That's the first thing I thought of as well. Other invertebrates would presumably work too. There's already no taboo against eating crustaceans, and mollusks are generally acceptable as well. Though you probably have to restrict molluskivorism (that's my word of the day) to gastropods and other less complex organisms to avoid the ethical and cost problems that would come with cuttlefish, squid, and octopus farming.
The Android version is currently available on the Google Play, and the iOS version has been submitted for review and is expected to be available soon :D
If the person or company suing Apple needs to have no ulterior motives, you'll never get a lawsuit, let alone a successful one. The court isn't going to care about hypothetical accusations, the lawsuit has to be brought by someone who was materially harmed by Apple's behavior. Epic pulled their stunt to set up a blatant example of what they believed to be inappropriate behavior, and on at least one count the court agreed with them.

Basically, the only way we would ever see action on this in the US is if a big player - like Epic - pulled a stunt like this to force their hand. As the evidence in the case showed, Apple was happy to try and pay people off to prevent them from filing a case like this, they offered Epic a sweetheart deal and eventually caved to pressure from Amazon.
I'd say going to the moon and shitting 15% faster iphones every 6 months is easy compared to fission, lab grown meat and fully autonomous vehicles. You're under the impression that we've accomplished a lot, and we did to some extent, but the vast majority of it is regular incremental updates, not paradigm shifting discoveries. Running water, central heating or the invention of fridges is more exciting to me than anything we came up with since the 60s, including going to the moon.

We have iphones, tiktok, and subscription based meditation apps sure. We're still living in the exact same ways, just with more distractions and less available time. Productivity increased dramatically but we're not doing better things, we're just doing more things. The gap between "what could be" and "what is" is filled with an incredibly huge amount of gadgets and clutter.

Also, life isn't a video game, the fact that we did ABC in the past doesn't mean we can do XYZ in the future. If you listen to Musk we'll be sipping mojitos on Mars by 2050, I'd be surprised if we have fully autonomous cars on earth by then tbh.

Lab grown meat or fission are more like "invention of the wheel -> modern electric car" rather than "og iphone -> iphone 13"
Laravel has LiveWire https://laravel-livewire.com which works in a similar way.
Have they figured out how a mere mortal can tell what a USB cable can do without plugging it in? Because USB might be one of the most confusing standards there is.

And I don't believe for a second that making all USB-C cables capable of everything in the standard isn't massively wasteful itself. If the intent is to cut down on waste then that would miss the mark.
They have a high income and are really good at ignoring the poor who do the dirty, low paid jobs and at best eat mortadella/baloney, cheese and eggs (doing their part for the planet, unlike everyone else lmao). Just like other western EU countries, tbh.
It's a tough ethical choice. On one hand, you want a company to avoid leaking data to bad actors, on the other hand, this would probably first used against legitimate whistleblowers.
It's not healthy to eat only plants. Stop spreading misinformation. They don't contain all the nutrients people need.
I'd support this.

The sockets would need some work for decent power transfer - it needs to do at least the 150 watts that USB-C can do, and preferably 150 kwatts for charging a car.

For 150 watts while maintaining backwards compatibility, all that's needed is larger contact area (curved spring clips) to support 3 amps and the use of 48 volts after negotiation.

For 150 kilowatts we'd be talking some cutting edge stuff, but not beyond the realms of possibility. Specifically, you'd probably need to use voltages up to 20,000 volts, 10 amps, which is going to mean you need to have mating and sealing rubber isolators on both plug and socket at least 3mm thick between poles. At these voltages, you cannot have air between the pins, so it must be a hermetic seal. You'd also need to measure leakage current and keep the cable capacitance low enough that when someone cuts through the cable with scissors the voltage can be dropped in microseconds to prevent zapping them.

> 1. A lightning port is slightly smaller than USB-c, so it enable Apple to keep their phone slimmer than the competition in theory.

In theory sure but in practice there are thinner Android phones with USB-C connectors than any iPhone. Basically these days the thickness is purely about how good camera you want and how much battery. The usb/lightning plug is not really an issue.

For the record the thinnest iPhone is iPhone 5 at 7.6 mm and thinnest Android is Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite at 6.8mm

Also from a purely user experience point of view making the phones thinner then they mostly are now does not add anything instead just makes the experience worse as the phone will feel worse when hold (if the other dimensions and weight stay the same)
I was pleasantly surprised to have a billing issue with Google One resolved in less than 30 mins.

It's the core reasoning of Apple, it would have their own proprietary chemical elements to construct their hardware if it was possible.
While the article's claim that small-scale livestock farming is essential for poor communities is convincing, it provides no support or evidence for the claim in the title. Does it expect the reader to be so used to blaming the west for everything, they won't bother to apply any scrutiny?
I also have the 2019 MBP, although not base model because I'm not a monster. Didn't the base model that year still have like a 128g SSD or something comically small? (I'm only jokingly being judgemental here, although it does baffle me why someone wouldn't upgrade at least a tiny bit to a level of practically if you had the choice to buy the computer in the first place) I'm kind of satisfied but not pleased at all with it, and I only have it because my 2018 non-touchbar model had a hardware issue which they replaced it with, and the 2013 model before that was stolen. It's marginally uograded to a 256gb SSD and 16gb of ram. I'm not pleased, specifically because of how loud the damn thing is. I was able to score a deal on an old gaming PC that runs quieter (or at least less annoying) on more demanding tasks, meanwhile I can't browse Instagram or watch video without creating a ridiculous noise. The 2013 model did not have this problem, and yes I'll acknowledge that video is a demanding task and modern websites are garbage, but cmon.
There are some hard parts (e.g. I don't expect mechanical compatibility across appliances anytime soon) and easy parts (charging). There's really nothing fancy about the chargers that all the appliances use.

USB PD isn't designed for smartphone batteries, it can power lots of things, including laptops, monitors, soldering irons, large power banks. Appliances' batteries are hardly any different from a power bank. There is no "battery smarts" in the charger itself, it just gives juice to a charge controller located by the battery. I don't know if it scales enough to be usable for 48V appliances, but a lot of stuff could be powered by a common interface (and, conversely, most large batteries could easily double as a power bank, and they indeed do if you just attach the right electronics downstream of it; having this built-in would be an interesting step).
Legal contracts are also a thing? In terms of seriousness, if you're willing to violate legal contracts, then what is the value of a pinky promise? The value of any promise is the sum of your credibility.
I'm not sure going from an average of 25 searches to 5 really matters lol. Nobody really searches for him, they just read articles by him linked from somewhere else. Anyone who knows him is probably technical and just goes directly to his site.
I doubt they'd charge much less. The price is mostly determined with what they believe people will pay.
Apple lowered fees to 15% for smaller developers thanks to this fight. So regardless of their motives epic picking this fight is a good thing.

It certainly could be interpreted as contempt of court but in practice Apple has hundreds of vague rules in their developer policies and they use them on a daily basis to block apps or updates just because they feel like it. They would have no difficulty constructing a retroactive excuse for banning Epic (and all their customers, as they threatened previously) from the store.
There are hundreds of tokens and projects and burn their admin keys or otherwise remove centralization where greater decentralization was a goal

If it is a goal and a part of a threat surface, I care about it

If its not, I don’t care about it and it can exist as part of a gradient instead of being a line in the sand to complain about
At least “lost gmail access” which is why the cry for help is not posted from the account owning the locked gdrive.
>Apple could hypothetically ban all of Epic's accounts forever

That is just plain wrong. There's no difference in Apple banning all Epic accounts over this and Apple Banning Microsoft or you for what Epic did. Epic is not one company, each account is a different business. Banning different companies in different countries and continents because of a brand name would get Apple sued into oblivion and would likely be the nail in the coffin for a closed app store.
The key is "inhumane". There are many people ok with farming and slaughter, but not in the conditions necessary to accomplish it at the current scale, convenience, and price the world consumes.
fiber optics are pretty robust to bending, as long as you're happy to suffer lost light.

Pretty much, if you bend it too much, your connection will slow down temporarily till you straighten it again. That seems like a fine tradeoff.

Industrial fiber systems usually used fixed speed, so too much bending leads to a total failure of the connection - hence the strict bend limits on fibers.
Using FOSS makes me more secure because of how I use it.

Because of availability of control surface, absent in Windows and macOS and most importantly the Kernel access. Yep, there are security problems in any os, but to compare custom build Gentoo with your beloved Apple toy, please grow up:) Your argument is funny and nonfactual.

To trust that a company witch publicly cooperates with oppressive governments and creates on device scanning software , breaching all "privacy" promises, helping with your security is absurd.

I have used exclusively Apple computers since early 2000s, and can pinpoint the moment in which all that I loved ended.

"書類を読むために開ける" sound to me that it follows subject-object-verb model. When I was taught English, early learner materials would contrast the grammatical difference from Japanese as one is SOV and the other is SVO with subjects frequently omitted, but Wikipedia article[1] today mentions Japanese language has "topic-comment" sentence structure, which seems to make sense to me.

A more natural form of those sentences would be "メッセージ/文書を送信(Send message/text)" and "書類を開いて読む(open and read document)" or "書類を読み込む(read-ingest document)", than implied imperative "[You] must send message" or "[You] open document for the purpose of reading" which don't feel to me that they follow this topic-comment logical structures.

This topic-comment model is also seen in Nadesiko Japanese programming language, as quoted below from "open file" function reference page:

> 「ファイル.txt」を開いて、Sに代入。

> Sを表示。

(my attempt at translation:)

> "file.txt" be opened, S it assign to.

> S be displayed.

As clearly seen, the object such as filename or variable are brought up first, then subsequently augmented, with subject simply missing.

So getting cultured meat from a human who agreed to it is ethical and therefore vegan ?
According to the court disclosures, their iOS revenue wasn't as big as you'd think (less than 10%, iirc). If that's gross revenue, it would mean the net revenue is considerably lower. Once you factor in the costs to earn that revenue - maintaining the iOS client, OS-specific online services, etc - it probably wasn't too hard for them to stomach the hit, especially since the potential upside was pocketing more revenue in the future.

They were also making a larger scale play here, they want to get rid of 30% cuts in general, which means they get to keep more of their Android revenue and likely more of their revenue on PlayStation and XBox (The court case revealed that Sony is basically charging extortion money to allow cross-platform play.)
If it's PR, seems like a lot of effort for a very limited audience
You make a fair point that using optimized numerical libraries instead of string methods will be ridiculously fast because they're compiled anyway. For example, scikit-bio does just this for their reverse complement operation [1]. However, they use an 8 bit representation since they need to be able to represent the extended IUPAC notation for ambiguous bases, which includes things like the character N for "aNy" nucleotide [2]. One could get creative with a 4 bit encoding and still end up saving space (assuming you don't care about the distinction between upper versus lowercase characters in your sequence [3]). Or, if you know in advance your sequence is unambiguous (unlikely in DNA sequencing-derived data) you could use the 2 bit encoding. When dealing with short nucleotide sequences, another approach is to encode the sequence as an integer. I would love to see a library—Python, Nim, or otherwise—that made using the most efficient encoding for a sequence transparent to the developer.

>Before moving forward, you should have a clear answer to the question of how many megadeaths you are willing to cause through war and famine.

War and famine is what we currently get with the current dietary trend. Going back to a mostly vegetarian food supply would liberate so much land mass that you would have fewer issues feeding the world.

>In this case, you're talking about the daily or weekly dietary habits of more than 2 billion people.

Humanity hasn't had such a high meat consumption ever before, it's an aberration of the last century that is unsustainable. We changed the dietary habits of a lot of people over the last century. There's no reason we couldn't change them back.
Yes, they earn money from the MFI program, but there's no reason to ditch that when changing to USB-C.

Remember the outrage among "normal" users when the Dock Connector was replaced by Lightning? Everyone was upset they'd have to buy new cables - even though Lightning was vastly superior.
Now, there's hardy a difference in the form factor. And make no mistake - normal people don't have USB-C chargers and cables lying around.
> All the big manufacturers had their own connector before that

Worse yet, "before micro-USB", chargers universally had a captive cable. Situation that GP describes - same charger, 3 cables - is already an improvement on that.

> Don't write clever code; the problem you're solving with code is difficult enough already.

No, it isn't. 90% of times it's just tons of dumb boilerplate. The sheer amount of that code creates its own accidental complexity, so if a bit of clever code can cut it down by an order of magnitude, by all means go for it. Other people may need to spend a bit of learning up front, but they'll come out better at the other end, and they won't have to pay the ongoing price of wading through vast amounts of code noise.
Sure this is a "win" but just like Apple being pro-privacy it is all PR and only luck that it is a good thing for users too.
They literally offered a sizable discount when they pulled this stunt.
I’m not so sure. I think if people hear it comes from plants in anyway (even if it tastes the same as lab grown meat) they’ll refuse it. “Lab grown meat - just like the real thing!” feels like it would have much better uptake among meat eaters.

Same for Delphi TBH. Two great products, dead.
My kids are 100% vegetarian from birth and I can't say we have observed any issue whatsoever. We do ensure they eat a very varied diet. We do get their bloods checked from time to time and nothing notable there either.

Of course it's possible they would have been gigantic, athletic super-geniuses if we'd fed them meat. I can't disprove that, except to say I ate meat as a kid and I'm decidedly average.
It's not that they don't care, it's that they are not knowledgeable enough about the issue and don't have time or will to research it further. That's why we have laws and regulations, so that average Joe doesn't have to research the impact of everything he buys on his body/environment.

With that logic you could say, "why ban dangerous levels of pesticides in the food, if people don't like it, they will not buy the product."
At this point, I'd go with "Foreign Office Syndrome"
Is that why the standard that USB-C cables use is such a ridiculous mess?
