This has been in the works for years, it was just only available to apple certified repair people. Tbh, this seems more like a rebrand of their existing program to me.
Secure Boot is about to become the consumer standard with Windows 11. Popular online games are already starting to require it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Netflix and other streaming services require it.
I can, I suppose.

With regards to "understanding it," I mean knowing what it's doing under the hood. It's all well and good to know that you can install something by doing "helm install," but you should really know what helm install actually does.

With regards to "when it's useful," I mean when you have a very complex system that needs a high level of abstraction to make manageable.

With regards to "when it's not [useful]," I mean various scenarios. For example, when you really only need a single pod running with no configuration and no ingress, Helm is not only overkill, but also a negative, as it abstracts without adding any value.
Related: My biggest complaint with Emacs is that when you scroll, the cursor moves to keep itself visible on-screen at all times. Modern text editors don't behave this way--it's easy to scroll to a different location to look at something without losing your insertion point.

Has anybody written a patch for Emacs to implement this behavior?

That is the first time i have seen someone change the scrolling behavior and it actually feeling like it works.

I'm interested in non-git deployment as well. For an image-heavy site, I would really prefer to avoid having to store static assets in GitHub so that I don't have to deal with git LFS. It would be nice if their CLI tool could support directly deploying a Pages application.

Joe Rogan Points Out That No One Trusts the Media Anymore
> he seems to think part of it goes back to our brain's instinct to react more to 'face' than other stimuli.

I've noticed this same thing with advertisements and dancing. Why are people always dancing and singing in advertisements? Seems like people just are wired to pay attention to certain human behaviors.
> If you're thinking "I don't have easy access to that information, and I don't have the time or the funding to investigate", you're quite right. Medical researchers will have to carry the can here.

Yeah, unfortunately, I've lost all my trust in anything that comes in from mainstream. I was to vaccinate myself, but then I found contradicting information, and from there I couldn't stop going to the rabbit hole, because this doesn't make sense. Mathematically and statistically if mainstream was only telling truth, what I'm seeing should be impossible.

It's a terrible situation for me to be in as it stresses me daily, ruins my focus and depresses me. Either I'm crazy and worried about nothing or things generally in the world are not going well and people are in mass hypnosis. Neither is a good side to be in.
I ended up choosing Abine Blur. The interface isn't as nice, but it seemed more security-focused. Privacy.com seemed to actually collect a lot of information and prevent you from removing it later on.
Seems like a lot of box subscription companies are gonna need to do some work this holiday season. There are a lot of companies out there who are also posing as US entities when they're really based overseas and have small LLCs as US affiliates who sell whitelisted products who will be affected too.

Recently I purchased a yearly subscription for an app from a foreign "health" company and after the checkout process, I was presented with some supplement options. These options were showing a discount on a per-month basis, but were also deceptively packaged in such a way that (a) the price was actually per month, and (b) if you chose ANY of the items on the screen, you were immediately billed for them without checkout.

Realizing that they just hit me for $270 for half a year's supply of supplements, I immediately sent an email to their customer service that I wanted my money refunded because I did not intend to pay a quarter grand on what were essentially fiber pills. These are shipped from a California warehouse. It was past midnight CST.

Twenty minutes later, I receive an email telling me that they are sorry but my order has been processed and there's nothing they can do, but if I wanted, they could send RMA instructions on the package. Their terms of service dictates that they have a "no-refund" policy and will only accept returns if there is physical damage to the shipped product. I asked again, and was rebutted again with the same sort of nonsense. Nobody was processing an order for a small goods company in California after midnight.

Welp... my next email to them informed the customer service rep that it was past midnight in California so no shipping had occurred. That I worked for a company with local and national news reach and I would be glad to share the information of my story, the app, the company name, and the parent company name with reporters who would be interested in covering deceptive business practices.

10 minutes later, I received an email apologizing for their transgression and another confirming that the charges were reversed.
I did too. There is no way Facebook didn't have the name 100% secured before announcing. This is just another example of journalists not doing their due diligence and Twitter being dumb.
Framing "knowingly limited to accuracy within ~3 meters" as "lying" is a bit of a stretch.
Some people really care. And one of the groups most apt to care are journalists, who also in this case are likely to have heard this joke before Yes, Minister did it. So when people credit Yes, Minister that's annoying for them. But, to properly correct someone about a fact you know they have wrong you must first determine more exactly what the facts are.

Also the "big tits" version of the joke is clearly funnier and it's on the way interesting to watch people embrace this or be uncomfortable with it. I expect with Page 3 in practice consigned to history we'll go back to uncomfortable. By now there are probably a considerable number of Sun readers today who aren't aware the Sun used to feature topless model shots every day with essentially no excuse beyond people like looking at tits.

5, 4, and almost 2.

TV – They'll watch Netfix in the morning if they're up early (0–30m) and for 20-30m to "wind down" before bedtime. We haven't done any parental controls or anything, and it hasn't been an issue. They know what they want to watch, and know how to navigate to it (Xbox or Apple TV).

Tablets/Laptops – The older two have Fire tablets and play educational apps/games: PBS or Starfall. No Netflix or "TV" apps. This is sort of "on-demand", mostly during their quiet time mid-afternoon. Maybe an hour? I enabled the "kid mode" on one tablet, but it is a giant PITA to manage, and really isn't an issue. They don't have the knowledge of the internet yet, do haven't really communicated that.

I feel like a lot of the performance and stability complaints were absolutely true in the first ~2 years of Gnome shell, but when I gave it another shot in 2018 on a computer with an AMD CPU and GPU, it ran basically flawlessly for me.

I definitely agree that everything being said, it matters less and less which environment you're actually using. I used to have fun with XMonad but I realized that I was spending 90% of my time in tmux, and about 10% of the time within a browser, so all one of these "optimized" windowing environments offered me was nerd-points. I felt like Gnome Shell got out of my way pretty quickly without it being too hard to pick up.

Im very much a bottom up sort of learner so I wanted to post something I haven’t seen yet in any of these comments. Go through and build Linux from scratch https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

You don’t have to do all of it, just enough to feel comfortable with the problem space that containers in part are trying to solve for. In doing so you will learn about the fundamentals of the stacks you are working with. Then go learn about cgroups at the lowest level. Again you don’t need to master these things but setting up a container from scratch will then give you a more intuitive understanding of what container apis like docker are trying to solve for. Install a hypervisor on your local workstation and set up a few vms networked to each other. Use a tool like netcat to talk across them. Once you have these basics, and yes it is a long and round about way, I think the cloud stuff becomes a lot easier and more approachable since you will have a more in depth understanding of what cloud providers are actually giving you in terms of configurations and managed services. I came into software development from doing sysadmin work at a NOC during a graveyard shift. So I had a lot of time on my hands to mess around with this stuff. I don’t think that tools like docker should be a substitution for the fundementals, but rather something you add to your tool belt later to make these sorts of configurations easier to set up.

Yeah this isn’t going to be a 1-2 day crash course but if you are diligent you can get a basic understanding of what these tools do in under a month. Only after you have a complete understanding of single node use case (e.g. multiple containers running on a single host) would i recommend starting to learn k8. Good luck!

This announcement is about consumer self-service repair. Not repair facilities justifying a capital expense.

But as you mention, the associated labor cost is prohibitive even for Apple. So who exactly is component-level repair of iPhones a good option for? It seems that it's more of an ideological position than a practical repair technique.
No, because their intentions are clear enough. They want to keep their iron grip on their supply chain, which is why they'll only ship you complete assemblies that cost $500+ instead of the charging IC that costs $3 OEM.
I feel like the AWS CDK is a great example of this working well. Rather than puzzling over what config options are valid, I get autocomplete and compiler errors when I insist on using an incorrect option. You also get stuff like deprecation warnings showing up in your editor.

It also becomes trivial to parameterise config so I can setup the same general Cloudfront distribution once and tweak it based on the individual application. It's open to abuse but it's better than interpolating values into Cloudformation templates.
I second this. At my first Real Job after university, I was challenged by a teammate to learn to use Emacs. He laughed at how primitive my (non-Vim!) vi editor was. In hindsight, it was absolutely true. I bought the O'Reilly book for Emacs and spent many weekends teaching myself the basics.

You are right: Bit by bit you write tiny macros that do things you need or want. After 1/2/5/10/30 years, your personal macros compound to create real efficiency. I don't use Emacs today, but I do appreciate that the ecosystem is enormous and well-developed.
I subscribed to Verizon Fios service entirely online but when moving I found out there was no way to cancel except to call their support and bounce through several numbers. Quite annoying. However, because when signing up you do need to have a technician come to your residence, so there is some non-online interaction, it might not be against the rules.
I can't believe what i am reading...

>Why would Apple ever want to engage with this unless forced to do so by an external entity?

You're right, this gets to the heart of the way manufacturers exert control over goods after sale. Apple is far on the restrictive end of the spectrum regarding consumer electronics. [Insert your own speculation about business reasons behind the obviously deceptive and incomplete public justifications here.]

>Would it be fair to say these changes are primarily to get ahead of legal concerns

Yes, nakedly so.

>any tangible gains are vapor?

Anyone with passing awareness of Apple's previous aftermarket repair stance would have to be blindly optimistic to see this press release as anything but expanding the customer base of a program that let select shops do a limited number of fixes, often at might-as-well-buy-new cost of goods.

I don't mean to be standoffish to people like yourself that don't have the context. But when it's just us chuckleheads talking shop on the internet, I'm no fan of the people who are informed on context kidding themselves that PR statements shouldn't be read as critically as possible.
Do you have to use WWW? How about a torrent?

> why isn't it easier today to put something on the internet than it was 10 years ago?

Interesting question. If it's easy, then probably you're putting your content onto someone else's domain. This leads to two issues (which are related).

1. The domain that's hosting your content can be legally responsible for it, so you have copyright and other legal issues which leads to them putting barriers in your way.

2. The host also might want to make money off your content, so they're going to want to control the ecosystem via things like logins, moderation, etc.

Sed challenge: join cal -y months into a single column
Personally I'm naturally skeptical of any suggested COVID treatments because they tend to be trendy. Before ivermectin, it was hydroxychloroquine. And before hydroxychloroquine, it was vitamin D, melatonin, and diluted bleach. And before that it was that it was only harmful to people who lead unhealthy lifestyles: It was less a disease and more like cosmic justice for living an indulgent, gluttonous sedentary lifestyle.

Meanwhile over the last 11 months most of the vaccines have been extremely effective at reducing hospitalization and death. My 3yo son caught COVID from one of his classmates at preschool - my wife and I are fully vaccinated - and we were both able to avoid an infection while under quarantine with our son.

You'd think a journal calling itself "Reason" would know not to use a reductio ad absurdum argument when it gets to misrepresent the absurdity it's criticizing.

The actual Newsweek article from 2017 that they cite says "The bitcoin network's energy consumption has increased by 25 percent in the last month alone, according to Digiconomist. If such growth were to continue, this would see the network consume as much energy as the U.S. by 2019, and as much energy as the entire world by the end of 2020."

Notice that crucial key word "if". This is why oncologists say, "If left unchecked, your cancer will spread through the entire body." There's a lot of things (chemotherapy, radiation, death) that can interrupt the process. Pretending the article is actually claiming uninterrupted exponential growth is dishonest.

(While Newsweek's clickbait title sucks, Reason is doing the same here, so I'm considering that a tie.)
Unsupported random opinions are the lifeblood of internet forums, not that the comment was really that much of an unsupported random opinion. Strangers do not owe you presentation of their views to your exacting specifications. It's perfectly fine to be confused by things they say and it's perfectly fine to ask them what they meant.

What's lame and actually damages discussion is haranguing people over things they've said you can't make good sense of. That's not curious conversation, it's not really much of a conversation at all.
Perhaps, although I didn't pick the analogy, and even accepting at face value what you're saying: clearly there is justifiably a much higher level of trust in GPS than public health advice, and for good reason: its scope is limited and it's had a much better track record.
Wouldn't the same apply to adults though? "Phone" can be used for a lot of different things, including some that are harmful, but basic communication with his peers is IMO essential and denying that is a significant problem (especially now in a pandemic).
A friend of mine had his son (14) playing sometimes all night.

He thought, as his son is (really) smart, that he will realise by himself it was stupid.

Well, he didn't, his grades fall and now he doesn't even live with my friend, as his mother (ex-wife of my friend) let him do whatever he wants, so he decides to move with her.

We all cross finger that he will at a time have an epiphany and go back on track...
Same here, some going back to the late 70s.
> I find the interface of GitHub (and therefore gitea) much more usable than gitlab's

Agreed, we switched from bitbucket to gitlab a few years ago, which was comparably better... but I still get lost in gitlabs interface when compared with github, it feels way too complex for the most common UI pathways. I now try to limit myself to the command line to avoid putting up with the complexity of gitlab UX.

Perhaps I misread his sentiment but the Catholic call outs are hard to justify otherwise. I don't know Mr. Barnhisel's religion but it's not at all a good assumption that since he teaches at a Catholic college that he is in fact Catholic, or if Catholic identifying, is faithful to its essential teachings. . Many if not most professors in large US Catholic colleges are not Catholic. Hires are made without regard to religion particularly outside of the theology and philosophy departments.
And why not ? Most major US Catholic colleges have long-ago (at least since 1960s) abandoned any attempt to teach, explain, defend, or even in some cases, tolerate Catholicism, nor the practice of its theological or moral teachings except in a cafeteria style manner to support left-wing causes which may or may not be in line with Catholic teaching.

Great little writeup ! After mangling YAML, HCL, JSON for years as an ops engineer, I have come to the same realisation. In fact, I have put this into practice in production pipelines by using: jkcfg[1] for the last couple of years. Two data points: 1. Zero developer support contract rate around YAML syntax and templating issues 2. High number of contributions in our private typescript configuration library from developers. Using typescript as an ops frontend has made operations a lot more approachable to folks.

Recently I took what learnt in the last 2 years using jkcfg/typescript and taken it to Deno in form of an opinionated port of jkcfg called: dxcfg[2]. Its early days, but I would bet on Deno/typescript for future ops configuration.

This is the joy of working for a large company. I was there a number of years ago. I just started ignoring people and doing what I think is right. No one appeared to notice. I suspect this was because everyone was chasing useless metrics or doesn’t want to challenge the timesheet in case the one apparent source of truth is discovered to be universe crushingly fallible.

I banked the experience and learnings and moved to a company which wasn’t in the fatal decline stage of development.
>But once you’re already there, surely there’s no point?

The problem here is that we have to keep reminding people if you want to remain relevant and on top of their minds.

For example, you might have some positive emotions towards some brand from your childhood, but you're not constantly recalling it. Even if you had a positive experience with such brand, if you haven't heard of it in years you just forget it, or others take their place.

You might recognize that brand if you happen to see it in the right context, but that's too much effort. We have too much going on with our lives to care.

That's why Coca-Cola advertises with Santa every single year since 1931. Because they want to guarantee that in "(...) the most wonderful time of the year (...)", they're there. They're the happiness brand, that's what they sell you. And maybe, just maybe, you might choose them, over the thousands of options, for your family dinner, simply because of what they represent.

Try to picture a supermarket (for the sake of a concept, since it's easier to visualize than ecommerce) - it's a fucking jungle, and we have to make choices every time we go there. Any nudge in the direction of your brand is a bias that people will have when they make a decision, a lot of times unconsciously.

It's an expensive game, because you have to build it up and maintain it. Else you risk someone else taking your place. It worked very well in the past because a lot of those brands had a large "share of voice" in a time when attention was focused on few media (mostly TV).

In this case, Crypto.com will be in the news just for this announcement, that's already free coverage. Then in every single game/show, people will hear and see them.

They'll experience a range of emotions there. They'll grow accustomed to crypto.com, it will become familiar. It won't be the thing your nerd friend keeps talking about when you meet him, it'll just be there.

And then maybe when someone wants to choose a crypto service, MAYBE, they'll default to crypto.com instead of other services that might look "shady" in comparison to the guys that have an arena with their name - those guys are more real than the rest.

They must be trustworthy right?
I'm interested to know:

* Does this apply to all of Scandinavia, or only specifically Finland and Sweden?

* How do they avoid abuse of the system? I.e. I unsubscribe you on your behalf by pretending to be you. Surely at least one person must be doing this maliciously on a constant basis.

* How many subscription companies are there in countries where this applies compared to countries where there are no such laws? Given the burden, it seems logical to completely ignore and actively avoid the countries where this applies.
