They basically turn all the electrical wires in your house into a giant antenna and radiate broadband noise.

And they do it very poorly, I've never been able to get powerline networking to work well. I had trouble reaching the Wifi node in my office from the bedroom on the far side of the house, I thought powerline networking was the answer, but the link was not that fast (around 10mbit), with very variable latency, anywhere from 5msec to 100msec, and around 2% packet drops. Both outlets were on the same leg of my home power panel, I verified it at the breaker box.

I finally ended up putting up a couple Unifi Nanostation M2's (the bigger ones with the 10dBi antennas) aimed at each other through the walls to act as a point to point network, and it was faster and more reliable. Still not super fast, I get like 30mbit, but latency is a nice constant 7msec, with little packet loss.

But in a previous house, the walls were real plaster with metal lath behind acting as a faraday cage, and I had no choice but to use powerline networking (it was a rental house, so I couldn't easily run ethernet)
I think the difficult part is actually controlling the output. For an artist on fiverr you can say, "can you give the bear a red cap". Or "can you make them smile a little more".

As European that looks like very very small salami almost closer to kielbasa, I'm regularly preparing pizza, maybe if you used bigger salami (diameter) it would be less likely to curly, smaller the diameter, more likely to curl. Salami (6-7cm?) curls for me very little while kielbasa (~3cm?) is much more likely to curl, naturally this can be avoided by cutting thicker pieces.

The Baltimore Orioles Effect
I hate how some people are determined to make all cities sound like hellholes full of junkies. This is just not true.
Actually, while I was a wireless headphone skeptic, I don't feel I'm missing 3.5" audio jack much. There are two reasons for this.

First of all, Apple's own adapter is a brilliant DAC. It's output is really nice, and when I need wired audio, I can get very good sound with it and a couple of nice monitors (RHA MA750i) or high-ish end buds (Sennheiser MM70i).

However, wired headphones are not limitless in life either. My MM70i set is almost unusable because the jack has worn down from so much use, and one channel is not making contact on 8/10 systems I plug it in.

Secondarily, entry level wireless headphones came a very very long way in terms of sound quality and battery life (both per charge and total lifetime terms).

I have two wireless headsets. A Philips SHB 3075 (Made by Gibson Electronics IIRC) and a Sony WH-CH510. Both are entry level systems. Philips should be lasting 8 hours or so per charge, but it lasts at least twice long. I use it every day at office and plug while leaving, and it never told me I need to charge it.

Sony is a completely different beast. I could only use half of its charge if I really try to. They forgot to tell that it needs to use the charge in the battery.

In terms of sound quality, both are excellent for their price points. Philips is not the most detailed, but it's very nicely balanced and non fatiguing. Sony really hits above its price point. It's enjoyable even in focused listening if the source material is mastered with some minimal effort.

I say time to time, but as a person who played in orchestras and an owner of an old school component Hi-Fi system, modern wireless headsets are miracles in sound quality terms.

Apparently matching the amplifier and the driver at the design time has a really big effect than we have thought. Bang Olufsen was right to add ICEPower amplifiers to their speakers and sell them as tuned units. It changes a lot.

I also want to add that Apple's sound dosimeter is a very nice technology which presumably works by getting some metadata from the headphone to calculate noise levels for protecting the hearing, which is extremely underrated.
A while ago I read about marrow donation. Turns out I had all kinds of misconceptions (thought it waa invasive and painful). I'll definitely try to donate when I get my health back in order.
I don't know if one can be kicked out of NATO?

But even if not, in the most extreme case, everyone else could leave NATO and simultaneously join NATO++, which is just NATO without Hungary, but with Finland.

(And because that kind of process is possible in theory, I would suggest that any organisation with a voluntary exit clause might also want to have a clause that allows the unanimous vote by everyone else to expel one member. Maybe..)

This is all speculation about the most extreme consequences. Other commenters wrote more realistic things about trade in weapons being disrupted.

And, of course, you could set up 'NATO++' as an alliance between US, Finland and other willing nations, without shutting down old NATO. Just like Ukraine receives a lot of assistance from NATO countries these days without being in NATO.
That sounds like a recession.

For developers, yeah, Bluetooth is like a torture device, but for consumers, it's wonderful.

I take my Soundcore buds out of the case. They connect in seconds. I put them back, and put the case on a wireless charging pad. There is no interruption to any of my other Bluetooth items.

I wouldn't even look at anything non-wireless. It would have been nice to have pro audio grade latency, but it's fine for music and not particularly noticable in calls.
Let’s zoom in on the interesting bit.

My gut feeling tells me high altitude southern cities are stable around “room temperature” (like Mexico City and La Paz) but if one doesn’t mind 30C for a few weeks, then of course a lot more cities in the Mediterranean, California, Australia etc are also in play.

I take it the person writing the article prefers anything, including a constant drab rain, to ever having -15C or +30C.

Well you clearly are not trying to understand. You believe opinions don't matter as if your truth was the only truth.

For example.

> You speak of “provocation” as if it’s equal and commensurate to bombing and invading a country

I did not.

> Ukraine decided they might like to join NATO - so therefore Russia has a right to invade and level the country.

No. They made it a high priority [1] to join NATO knowing that Russia would be incredibly hostile to them doing that. Whether or not Russia was right to be that way doesn't really matter. If your bully neighbour tells you they may attack you if you try to join NATO, and you try to join NATO, you know all too well you're taking a giant bet.

> Please make this make sense to me.

Does the above help? Can you understand that your giant neighbour may not think like you do, and therefore may be willing to go to war and destroy their own economy just to stop you from joining what they see, rightfully or not, as an enemy alliance, no matter how much you try to convince them the alliance is not a threat even when it's whole reason to exist is to oppose your giant neighbour?

> The bombs dropping on Ukrainian citizens every night while Russian citizens sleep in peace should tell you enough

What does that have to do with the topic being discussed other than try to appeal to emotion? Anyway, yes, I am horrified to see Ukraine being bombed to the ground and I loathe the Russians for doing that. But I remember they made it extremely clear they were going to do that, and the USA and Ukraine were completely defiant to their demands (again, whether those demands were fair or not is another story)... when you have a gun pointed at your head, even the unfairest of demands should be taken seriously.

> In that case too the US would have no right to invade a sovereign country for making decisions about its own future.

Yes, I agree, but we all know all too well the US would absolutely invade, as it has done time and time again. You willing it wouldn't do that won't change that fact.

So you get Primary / Secondary or Main / Secondary... For all of your above cases. I don't quite see how that differentiates them.
the "A" versions all used to have headphone jack. 3A,4A,5A. But with this Google has removed it from the 6A version.
I could only see a very mild version of this happening.

More realistically, they could just spin up an alternative alliance between US, Finland and any other willing current NATO member (but excluding Hungary). And over time move more and more importance to this new NATO++, and perhaps even eventually drop out of old NATO.

There's no provisions for kicking countries out of NATO. But everyone else leaving the club is equivalent to kicking one country out.

Apple is the only company with some sort of vision for the smartphone. My issue is, I find their vision disgusting.
Practically speaking there's probably not a ton of difference. ITW exploits are pretty uncommon for both, and they're typically somewhat targeted. I haven't paid attention in years for this reason, but I'd guess that Chrome is ahead - mitigation techniques like site isolation are quickly improving in it and were adopted earlier as well.

In general my recollection is that Chrome splits up more of its components. It sounds like, based on this post, the gpu process is now separated and there's sandboxing efforts going into that, but I'm pretty sure Chrome has had that for years now.
Money usually optimises for advertising, advertising optimises for reach, and reach is the opposite of exclusivity or refinement.

There's some benefit to some selective markets, especially if they tend to focus money more than brains --- this is the notion behind virtually all luxury or high-end products, and was a role served by magazine publishers in the last quarter or so of the 20th century: a clear indicator of market segmentation and focus, combining both the magazine's own audience bias as well as geographic (and hence, socioeconomic) market differentiation. That's now largely moved to online and mobile.

>OK, but users who do know what it means should be allowed to configure it differently.

Yeah, I agree. In order to avoid bloat, it might be best to offload this to extensions.

>No; it should be configurable to do it automatically how you want to do.

I agree, but I think complex configuration should be offloaded to extensions. By default it should do what the website owner wants (HSTS).

>Then it is deficient since it is not the only kind of redirect.

Other kinds of redirects aren't relevant for security, so they don't need as the degree of cache guarantees that HSTS provides.

>Furthermore, it is bad because it does so without the user's specifying if they want this cache

Stuff should be secure by default. We don't want security to be opt in.

>or if the user wishes to override it for any reason, making some things difficult to do.

I agree there should be overrides.

>It should not try to think they know better than the end user what the end user is wanting to do.

Sometimes the end user actually doesn't know what the end user is trying to do and gets phished. I agree there should be overrides though, but they need to be carefully designed so that attackers can't abuse them.

I discovered this exact problem over lock down 2020. My Teams calls would freeze every 60s.

There's a better solution though! Delete all your saved wifi connections. All those hotels and coffee shops you have connected to in your apple lifetime are the trigger. Reduce them down to those you actually use and the problem goes away.

I'm amazed more people haven't come across this, though from what I've seen people tend to just live with these problems as they don't know where to start in figuring it out.
>We waste an hour a day dealing with wireless not working

seems unlikely
Seriously? Having been on both sides of a number of acquisitions I can tell you that these kinds of personnel changes are made typically at the (possibly indirect) request of the acquiring company. Things like "We've got a really create CMO that we're bringing on, we don't need any headwinds to them getting traction quickly" means "Get rid of the people who think they are in charge of marketing so that our person can set the table they want to set it." Or, "Some of our team is uncomfortable with Bob in the role he's in, he just doesn't seem like a good fit you know?" or any number of ways to communicate what executives they want moved out so that there will be spaces to be filled when the new team moves in.

And in a deal like this where there is no "plan B" the CEO's exit compensation is entirely predicated on their ability to "set the table" well for the incoming executive team. So yeah, Parag is doing what Musk or Musk's team told him need to be done prior to starting there, and if he told them he wouldn't do it then no big package for him.
I'm in the same position but have the opposite conclusion. They cut out when using the microwave or in busy areas of the city. The fact that they're not attached means I forget my phone on occasion and have to go back. Pairing with new devices is much more hassle than using the cable, so I only use bluetooth with my phone and cable otherwise. Even then it sometimes just doesn't connect. The battery life is amazing, but I have on many occasions just used the cable or my backup wired earphones instead because it was flat.

In conclusion the noise cancelling is awesome, but the wireless for me is at best a very situational improvement and I wouldn't be less happy without it. I certainly will continue to use wired earphones and avoid products without an aux port.
SQL already supports "order by complicated_count". Did you mean group by?

The thing is, the unknown-ness often varies over time. So it could be things you know but sometimes forget that you know.

Is there a way to set up Apple Face ID to only accept a particular expression?
Given the rulings that police can compel you to open your phone via biometrics but not via your password[0] I’d like to add a required expression or other distinction to my face as a sort of password for Face ID. Ideally this would keep the convenience of Face ID while reducing the privacy risk.
I’ve tried resetting it with various facial contortions and covering parts of my face with my hand but my normal face continues to unlock the phone.

people on linux wait for updates?

Yes, Fedora downloads packages first and then reboots the machine to perform the actual updates and then reboots again into the updated system [1]. You can still run dnf update manually, but the recommended path is the former one. Why? Because in contrast to what many commenters say here, in-place updates of Linux systems can go wrong. Apparently, Fedora have encountered this often enough that they they have started doing 'offline updates'.

(The proper solution, which Silverblue/Fedora IoT/Fedora coreOS/NixOS/GUIX do is to make system updates atomic with roll-back.)

> And neither of these devices interrupts me with notifications

Not to take away from your valid experience but my phone doesn't interrupt me with notifications because I turned off everything I am not 100% bothered about (which leaves just a couple of messengers, phone calls, and bank transaction notifications) and all those are silenced 2000-0800 (or during workouts.)
It's an imitation of Arthur Whitney's "iconic" style.
People gave Apple a _lot_ of flak when they originally killed the audio port, but the $10 dongle they sold lasted me at least 3 years and I don't really remember any connection issues.

Now I'm the sucker they'd always envisioned, owning a Airpod Pros and a Bluetooth Bose headset. At this point though, whether it's Stockholm Syndrome or not, I still do generally prefer the wireless life.
They are. They are far, far from perfect, and very wrong in as lot of terrible ways. The US certainly doesn't have the moral high ground they often love to claim, but they're still much better than China or Russia on issues of democracy, human rights, freedom of speech, etc. A large minority of the US is working hard to change that, but they're not there yet.

There's a similar essay that describes how scenes (e.g., art, music, literary, ...) develop.

First you've got the creators themselves.

Then the early / appreciative fans.

Then come the hangers-on. Not there for the creation so much as the crowd.

It goes downhill from there: grifters, frauds, pickpockets, exploiters, etc.

Eventually, the creators get bored, or tired, or can't afford the now-gentrified prices / location, and move on. The remenants of the scene itself can persist for decades --- the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco is one example, and downtowns throughout the world are littered with the dried husks of former literary circles and the like, hoping to catch a stale whiff of the fragrance that once blossomed there.

I wish I could find the essay, it described the dynamic really well. I'd seen it online ~5--10 years ago, believe it was making the rounds at the time.
