Unless this has changed, RuskDesk seems to require a TURN/ICE server to connect at all- you can’t directly connect via IP. This would be fine if you could run your own, but you can’t:

Open home page, "please set up your own server"
Click link, second line "Note: You need buy license When using this software"
Click link, "Currently we are not selling server licenses as we are working on a new version of the server. "

Combine this with the default server being slow and it’s unusable.

I ran an iOS sales and repairs service for years, eventually stopping around the iPhone X era. I had decent third-party tools, but despite being careful, I'd still break peoples' devices on rare occasion and have to eat the cost.

The adhesive they use to bind the screen to the body has gotten consistently tougher over the years, to the point where there really isn't a reliable way for someone to do it correctly on their first try without specialized tech like this. You WILL underestimate the amount of heat required and either crack your screen or break your tool when trying to pry them apart. It's incredibly frustrating and delicate work if you're just using a heat gun and a screwdriver.

If they shipped him a "warming sock" and some kludgers like iFixit used to do, I'm sure a quarter of the people who attempt the repair would end up breaking their device and the whole program would be a failure.

Unless they ditch the adhesive and return to the iPhone 4/4S design of a back-cover which slides off easily, I actually think the 70lbs of equipment might be their best path forward.

> by giving them exactly what they were asking for, the actual tools.

When it comes to Apple devices, the "tools" that DIY repairmen want are the schematics, software to provision new parts (ideally there wouldn't be a need for this to begin with) and proprietary parts that can't be bought elsewhere.

When it comes to opening the phones, there's nothing particularly complex about this and third-parties have figured it out already, all the way down to the proprietary screwdrivers.
> I just think Win 7 was peak usability.

See, right now I agree with you, but then I remember that I said the same about XP and, before that, about Win98. When it comes to Windows releases, Microsoft has a solid streak of "a good one, a bad one".

Therefore, my non-cynical interpretation is that there is room for improvement. With Android and iPhones eating the world, it would be reasonable for MS to try something new before becoming obsolete.

Whether we'll see such an improvement before Windows 12, that's a different question.
No, it's definitely climate change. Values and that shit are always changing but humanity endures and has thrived, despite Jordan Peterson's bullshit. But we need a balanced, functioning ecosystem to do so, and we've destroyed it and we're going to be annihilated because of it. We let capitalism win. We put stupid bastard ideology before reality and it's ending us. It's that simple.
I just use "grep -R", sometimes with "-i" as well. Works for me 99% of the time.
The agency tolerated CentOS but was never happy about it. The fact that it was directly derived from RHEL and could be expected to get timely security fixes probably helped make them comfortable with it. The agency is also concerned about Python2 remaining the default in both CentOS 7 and RHEL 7. Red Hat has committed to back porting security fixes for Python 2 proper, but that leaves a large universe of add on packages that might not get patched. Thus the move from both CentOS 7 and RHEL 7 to RHEL 8.

Random question - what resources would you recommend to someone who is interested in learning more about Buddhism?

I really like the quote you've posted. I dislike bullshit. There are many bullshit Buddhism resources out there. Where can I find the real thing?
I've never been able to get a mortgage while on SSDI. It's theoretically possible. I do have credit cards and a car payment though, so access to credit isn't entirely non-existant. I'd love to get qualified for USDA loan. Seems like a pipedream though.
Or they and other phone manufacturers could just stop building phones that are purposefully difficult to disassemble or repair.
The normal repair fee of $69 covers the $5 battery and the install fees. So the remaining $64 dollars does not seem exorbantly high on paying someone their wage of manually removing/installing all of those screws and doing so without damaging everything plus some fees for overhead of operating the business. Sure, with a different design for user replaceable batteries all of that would be moot, but with the current design and the PITA process of doing the replacement it's not prohibitively expensive for a once in every 3-4 years type of fee. Hell, most people replace the phone itself before needing a battery replacement.
"no one knows why it happens" What is the state of the art knowledge on this in 2022?
I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here, but there’s no way to confuse the side of the political spectrum that actually cares about all human suffering with the one that cynically doesn’t.
I never claimed to have an incorruptible mind. However, if you want an example of what is the logical outcome of your mentality, I would refer you to the treasure trove of delusions that is Infowars.
You have to admit that requiring 79 lbs of equipment, a 1200$ deposit, and so much effort just to swap a friggin’ battery is a tad overkill and exactly what is wrong with the current state of self repairs. Never mind the DRM on the battery so that the phone won’t recognize even a genuine battery as genuine without involving the 3PL to marry the parts together…

It shouldn’t be so complicated. If it makes the phone one mm thicker but you can swap the battery easily without requiring all this equipment, why aren’t we there yet?

I can (with a bit of a stretch) understand why they would not accept just any OEM part, but making extra difficult to even use an Apple bruine battery with the rest of the Apple hardware, that’s also very unnecessarily self repair hostile.
I think the future holds the doomsday.
Nitinol is just an alloy of nickel-titanium 50/50 or slighty differnet ratio. I thought it was more exotic more elements in it but it's quite a simple alloy.
I think the problem is one of viewpoint.

The fact that Russia invaded Ukraine’s sovereign territory is irrelevant.

Why? Because the only sovereign territory you have is the one you can occupy and defend. And it’s pretty clear Ukraine can do neither with the regions Russia has already occupied.

Sure, the invasion is “illegal”. But being “illegal” means nothing if you don’t have the means to take it back.

So, if a weaker power like Ukraine wishes to maintain their territorial integrity they need to find a solution with Russia. Sure, that’s not fair and offends our sense of sovereignty, but hey, that’s reality.

That’s what people are getting at with “NATO threatened Russia so Russia invaded”. It’s not excusing it. It’s not saying it’s right. It’s just describing reality.

The West is more than happy to bankroll Ukraine’s defense, but it won’t be their sons and daughters dying. They’ll just fight to the last Ukrainian and then settle with Russia in some way. NATO has zero qualms hurting Russia by burning Ukraine to the ground.

Ukraine’s smartest move is negotiate some neutrality with Russia and move on with life.

It absolutely amazing to read opinions on HN how dumb the population was the get itself involved in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and then watch them buy hook, line and sinker the exact same arguments for Ukraine.
Not just anti-imperialism but many other political and philosophical opinions too.

Many things in history and politics are dense. It's expected that people will disagree on these things.

But every so often something happens which is genuinely quite simple to understand. This Ukraine invasion allows you to discriminate between those who are still committed to reality and those who are not.

If you cannot understand that countries desire to join Nato (because they understand the Kremlin better than most Westerners); that ex-KGB Putin holding a candle once a year doesn't make him the grand protector of Christendom; that Russians are victims of this regime too; that this invasion was predicted by many (see Kasparov); etc etc... Then I really cannot take you serious anymore.
Yeah. Anyone who spends long enough at an RC car track will witness a battery fire. When I used to race it was ripe with people saving money by buying cheap chargers and batteries, charging things too fast, running motors that pulled too much current for the support hardware, and failing to balance cells. Thankfully sand will save you! The car is usually roasted though.
Seeems very plausible. Anecdotal evidence datapoint: I just woke up from an afternoon nap and my ears were buzzing with high-pitched noise. The nap was exactly an hour long and it was an alarm that woke me up. By the time I read the article, the buzzing went away. Hope they figure it out.
I use a Mac for work, but I have a Dell Optiplex that I use for gaming. It is not officially eligible to run Windows 11 but is currently running Windows 11 quite happily. The UX improvements are welcome, especially the UI animations. The new WSL has been fun to tinker with as well. I'm not daily driving Windows 11, but in my experience the small improvements add up and it's a worthwhile upgrade from 10, maybe even if your PC isn't "supported".
So they got named in 2020? I've been building these for years. Edit: Also, they're not as practical as one might think, because they take up a lot of space. I run mine in my basement, but we use single smaller Fellowes and Rabbit Air filters upstairs.
Unclear to me how this plays out in technology space. Remember that Labor had a confused policy on internet regulation when last in power, and stuffed up the NBN proposal in part because of union scepticism of banking support for structural separation of telstra, the national carrier.

I doubt Labor will reverse five eyes, or anti Huawei policy, or even stand up to disneyfication of content, or a host of problems.

The CSIRO will need a massive cluestick hit, to walk back from some disastrous policy shifts like dropping selinux for ...crypto bullshit.

They should be stronger on EV and r&d investment, and in education investment. I doubt they will be much different on FAANG.

My comments about the NBN noted, they will probably put funds into more fibre for the national network.
Tom Brown Is on a Mission to Restore Appalachia's Rare and Lost Apples (2021)
I don't know - it's been decades. But the history of TiNi alloy is littered with ideas which seem like they could, potentially, take advantage of its unique properties but don't ultimately pan out due to cost, difficulty of fastening the material, need for a compliant element since the alloy only works in one direction.

An interesting successful application was the Frangibolt - a non-explosive way of breaking bolts to separate components of an assembly in space.
Definitely useful.

That code looks ugly as fuck though
Maybe, playing counterfactual history is just a game. Would they have fared better had they never been brought to Haiti as slaves and had they remained in Africa?

Maybe they would've been taken as slaves to the Middle East. By the way, where are the black descendants of the African slaves taken to the Middle East? How do we pay them reparations?
I don’t know what Apple could have done better here. For $50 they shipped, both ways, all the expensive equipment Apple themselves use to repair their devices.

For how adamant Apple has been about the price of genuine parts for so long I’m starting to think that they actually sell replacement batteries at cost and eat the labor. Because having used 3rd party batteries they’re about half the cost but they degrade is way fewer cycles.

The problem with “right to repair” is that people thought they could hitch what they really wanted — “right to use cheaper 3rd party parts” which is a tougher political sell than “right to cosplay as the underpaid Apple service tech.”
So after reading the quote I posted from the Wikipedia article, my curiosity led me to look into this deal a bit more.

Official announcement (2012): "https://ir.greendot.com/news-releases/news-release-details/g..."

Couple of interesting bits: So Sequoia Capital had done a 20 million series B into Green Dot Corporation ( now GreenDotBank ) followed by a private equity investment according to public records. By the acquisition time the initial funding of Green Dot was recorded as total of 33 million dollars.

Now it happens Sequoia Capital was also a VC for Loopt, and had put at least 17 million dollars into Loopt, also according to public records.

The deal was 43 million in cash! including 10 million dollars for employee retention of Loopt employees.

Now such a good deal, is what I call the definition of success. And how to close one of these would be a blog worth writing...
I’m optimistic about worker coops, and would love to see them become more commonplace. I’ve noticed a lot of tech coops are dev shops, which kind of makes sense, but I hope more product focused tech coops become successful as well.
Okay, fair. Thank you for clarifying.

True, people are saying it’s nothing but luck, which was my point. It is discouraging and unhelpful to relentlessly best people over the head with nonsense like that, which happens in every post like this.
Which is otherwise known as “paying for the equipment.”
I've considered it. I'm Jewish and qualify for Israeli citizenship, and theoretically I could keep SSDI while living abroad. I'd prefer Spain though honestly. There's a Puerto Rico loophole that allows US citizens to move there under their former colonies program. You just have to learn Spanish and live in PR for a year before applying.

It's a lot to consider though.
yeah. the "talent" part gets perfected in the market? right? i mean if you are a repair guy and your work isnt appreciated by your customers, you either have to get better or close shop. these small repair people that are everywhere in asia simply improve their skills with each device so there is that
I spent the first two months+ of the war in Ukraine (my home, but I'm not Ukrainian).

I completely accept that opposing interventionist foreign policy in the case of Ukraine support is a valid stance for US citizens.

However, I hope that in this case the US continues to support Ukraine - we need it - as the price Ukraine has paid for Russia's truly barbaric aggression is already too high.
> what is now being fought over is whether USA should have control over Ukraine

this is a bold claim to make without any tangible evidence to support it. Especially as it contradicts your very next statement about not having "a strong preference for neither USA nor Russia controlling Ukraine". It seems like you are claiming that Ukraine has no agency and autonomy in this situation or that the country is only allowed to resist with the armaments it has? Care to elaborate?

As for the war becoming "even more vile and bloody": do you believe Ukraine should just give up so that the Russians could be able to indiscriminately torture, rape, murder and disappear countless citizens of Ukraine, as they have been doing for centuries in the region? Again, Ukraine used its own armaments to resists and Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol and other bloody and vile atrocities still happened.
>If you talk to most normal people and ask them what they think of when you talk about bitcoin, it's probably buying illegal drugs.

Ah yes. The "experts" that have only heard about Bitcoin from Fox/MSNBC/etc news. I'm sure they know what they're talking about.
Right, but that’s not what the author of the article is complaining about. Instead, the author is complaining about the (shockingly reasonable and probably a loss leader) tool rental cost, complains about the part cost (even though it is the same cost service providers pay, and the author does not mention the ~$25 recycling refund to deliberately make it look worse than it is).

Apple is totally going to use this in a future court case to argue Right to Repair people will never be satisfied unless the tools fit in a pocket, had free shipping and returns, the part is 50% off, and there are no credit card holds on the tools. (The authors comparison to how car rentals don’t require a full value hold is absurd because a thing called Car Rental Insurance exists.) The author wouldn’t be happy with anything else.
It was Labour that proposed fibre to the home and started rolling it out.

It was the liberal party that stuffed up and had the confusing stance the NBN with stopping rollouts of fibre and saying that copper was a better technology - they wasted a lot of money on this and it's now having to all be ripped out.
> Probably something to the extend of “tools to repair must be found in any general DIY store”.

Does everyone realize how insanely bad this would be for phone progress? If we’re forcing manufacturers to avoid specialty adhesives and tooling, the overall quality and size of phones would be greatly compromised.

I understand a lot of HN commenters will say they don’t care if their phones are twice as big and not waterproof as long as they can replace the battery with a screwdriver from Home Depot, but that’s not even close to typical consumer behavior.

People want small, waterproof phones. Making laws to force companies to compromise everything so 1% of buyers can swap batteries at home instead of paying for official repair service is one of the more out of touch product suggestions I’ve read on HN.
True, some sectors are profiting but overal the economy will suffer greatly. Electricity prices are already insane in Europe (the bill this month was higher than my parent’s pension) and it will only get worse by winter. Factories will have to shut down and people won’t be able to heat their homes. Already happened last winter but this year it will be on a much larger scale. And let’s not forget about the skyrocketing food prices. This war is pushing millions of middle class Europeans into poverty. The best thing for the economy would be to just give Russia what they want.

So I don’t think the West is in it to make money. Not at all. If it was up to the Eastern EU countries they would send their armies to fight in Ukraine. They are scared of Russia. That’s their primary motivation, not profit. Other EU countries are alarmed but they lack the traumatic experience of Soviet occupation so they are less eager to fight. Still they are smart enough to realize if Russia succeeds the Baltics or Poland could be next. So the EU helps out of self preservation.

The US just sees this as an opportunity to damage Russia, they prefer to stretch this war out. The EU wants it to end as fast as possible.

I don’t see a profit motive.
IMO the $1200 deposit is less ridiculous than the same-as-store $70 battery price. If the cost for the new battery were at wholesale prices, and one were able to purchase tools from the kit individually, I think that would be the best Apple could do (besides redesigning their devices to make repair easier).

Tools always cost money, a capital investment which ends up being vested in professionals that buy the tools once and then repair many people's gadgets. Right to repair is just as much about empowering independent repair shops as the individual DIYer.

Us DIYers have kind of gotten spoiled with the continually dropping prices of tools and parts combined with the always rising price of labor and overhead. For example, I was just shamelessly quoted $1300 for a rear brake job (wtf?). For that price I could buy all the tools to do the job, premium parts, and still come out favorably compared to engineering rates.
Civilization is usually defined as more than just the development of permanent settlements. Permanent settlements existed in the fertile crescent during the neolithic for thousands of years before civilizations emerged in that region during the early bronze age.

What characterizes civilizations is the emergence of stratified societies in those settlements, with specialized classes of people such as priests and metalworkers, who relied on others to provide them with food.
Google has been moving in the direction of exercising ever greater control over the web. These little Chrome features aimed at "protecting users" are just parts of it. They control discovery (Google Search), the infrastructure (Google Cloud), the client (Google Chrome), and a very common support channel (Gmail).

The fact that those are theoretically not absolute (some people use Bing, hosting can be on AWS, and Firefox still exists) is beside the point.

In practice, almost any business is damaged to the point of being unsustainable if Google cuts them off.

Lmao what? How many books have you read on this subject? How many lectures attended? Im not making a moral, emotional, spiritual, statement, I’m making a factual one. To be clear, I support maximum liberty, I’m personally a libertarian. But that doesn’t mean I can’t assess a situation.

The south had decades of arguing the north was attempting to suppress them. The slavery issue was one of many related issues. This really started installing the constitution and usurping the articles of confederation; without appropriate approvals.

It’s like today in the United States, most of the middle (red) states believe life begins at conception. The states on the coasts, plus IL and CO (blue) states have laws implying they won’t protect life until after it leaves the womb. Morally, this triggers the states in the center of the country. The states on the coast argue it’s the “mother’s right to stop the birth”.

I’m not making a moral argument, but describing a fact.

Now, one could argue states rights are the real issue here. Because all the latest political craziness around this topic is simply reverting the idea states set the rights. Each state can run itself how it sees fit. The blue states want to impose their will on the red states (making abortion legal nation wide). I’m sure the opposite would be true if the red states and overwhelming control.

But there’s a ton more the red and blue states are arguing over, this is just one issue. Arguably, it’s the same discussion as slavery - who is a person and when.

The conflict that is continuing to escalate in the U.S. is about so much more. But I think in the end may come down to issues like “states rights”. In reality, the conflict is mostly an urban-rural divide that has gone back to the countries founding.
I think it's completely reasonable to look at the country which they share an island with, Dominican Republic, and ask questions about why one has fared so much differently than the other. The countries share almost identical geographical attributes, yet the average Dominican is 10x richer than the average Haitian.

Central American colonial history is incredibly fascinating but also very tragic.
