This is sad, but good to know! I will certainly be avoiding Phillips products in the future. There’s no reason to need an account to control a light bulb’s settings. Absolutely ridiculous.
I don't think that's the fault of the license, its the fault of the world going in a less free direction.
I used to work for a Fortune 500 company and in my case it was obvious that businesses in and around our campus suffered significantly with more people not coming to the office. My guess is the company had tax incentives in place with the city/state on the condition that their being there was a boost for the local economy. People not coming to work and spending money jeopardized those incentives.

There are four parking garages and more surface parking lots than I could possibly count. I think it has more to do with the millions of square feet of office space on campus. But, they should just admit that rather than giving BS excuses.

> The use of mercenary spyware to target a senior member of a country’s democratic opposition after they had announced their intention to run for president is a clear interference in free and fair elections and violates the rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and privacy. It also directly contradicts how mercenary spyware firms publicly justify their sales.

> In particular, we have recommended that the Canadian government ensure through law and meaningful sanctions that Canadian companies are prevented from exporting technologies to jurisdictions where there is a likelihood of human rights abuse.
Pretty much same. I bought a Deck primarily because I wanted to support the company putting them out and to tinker with it. I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything like that - I've been using it a bit to play a few games but mostly when I have time I play on the Switch or my gaming laptop that has a higher-end NVIDIA card (works great on Pop_OS!).

I do wish that the desktop stuff was a bit more polished. TBH a lot of people could probably just use the Deck as a primary computing device in addition to playing games.
If the Democrats were "just as rich people protection" as the Republicans, they wouldn't need this. A billionaire tax is popular among Democrats. It's just not universal.

A thing like this is mostly political posturing. No "billionaire tax" is going to happen this year or any time soon. There are plenty of Republicans who can ensure that, without any Democratic help. But centrist Democrats are trying to avoid the perception that it it's a likely thing, which they think will play badly during the next election.

There are more realistic things that Democrats do plan on, that billionaires don't like. They want to use regulations designed to rein in harm by large corporations, end tax cuts that benefit the wealthy more than others, shift rapidly away from a fossil fuel economy, etc. They also have a further left wing which wants to do even more, and there are genuine differences of opinion within the party.

The centrist wing, which is mostly in charge of the party, thus gets tagged both with being too liberal by Republicans and too conservative by their own left wing. Moderation is much less popular than political theorists would have you believe.
The main reason I aim for (2) is that I want to be able to drive my build locally if and when GitHub is down, and I want to be able to migrate away easily if I ever need to.

I think of it like this:

I write scripts (as portable as possible) to be able to build/test/sign/deploy/etc
They should work locally always.

GitHub is for automating me setting up the environments where I can run those scripts and then actually running them.
That's a fair hypothesis and intuition... that has not been apparent for the majority of people. Some folks really do benefit from an office setting and I think we should support those people by having such a setting still available... but I'm going to keep dancing to thumping techno in my bathrobe as it makes me far more productive

Influx 1.8 was and still is great. With 2.x and InfluxData shoving ridiculously slow Flux down people's throats on every step they managed to drive away much of their user base.

I just hope 3.0 will bring back more focus on query performance and simplicity.
I'm not saying there can't be legitimate reasons to change your fee structures and product offerings over time...but every time this happens I can't help but think of the mob "That's a ad-free nice service you're paying for. It would be a shame if someone introduced ads to it".

Though, with the impending anti-trust case against Amazon, maybe they're afraid that AWS is going to be split off and they won't be able to subsidize their shipping and logistics any more. Every cent counts and what not.
Hah that's good to know, the comparison to learning to drive makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tip
Yeah it means money in Hindi
I do the exact same amount of work now that I did in an office, except now I can just watch a video on YouTube or an old episode of Veep or something if I want to take a break, rather than looking at my phone for a few minutes wondering if someone is going to tap me on the shoulder.

I literally saw a coworker sleeping in his cubicle, and had I not woken him up he probably would have gotten fired that day when our boss walked in maybe 90 seconds later. Offices are not the meccas of productivity the RTO crowd would like us to believe.
Having reliable public transportation with good headways for those who still need to commute to work, getting even more cars off of the roads.

It's the same with people who are paranoid of 15 minute cities as a concept. I don't know whose ends they're useful idiots for, but someone is rioting them.
I have my third grader and sixth grader using it. They are actively fighting teachers trying to revert Google search on their school Chromebooks :)
We moved our CI to this orchestrator called Netflix Conductor. It’s highly customized internally with workers capable of running different kind of tasks etc. But since we did this, CI has been a wonderful experience. Things run smoothly and history can be tracked and easy to build variants by modifying or creating new workflows. We aim to open source this extension soon.
I agree, so it will be the infrastructure connected by no better means than roads which will turn to ruins first.

Yet we are still building up such infrastructure, even if emphasis is gradually shifting to more sustainable infrastructure. I still am sceptical that much of what is being built now can survive a century. It seems most plausible that transport costs are going to climb up every year over the next few decades and I don't see how that doesn't break the back of many many communities.
> There are so many tactics Apple gets to use to sabotage repair. For example, Apple engraves microscopic Apple logos on the subassemblies in its devices. This allows the company to enlist US Customs to seize and destroy refurbished parts that are harvested from dead phones by workers in the Pacific Rim:

Dead phones that were potentially stolen? A major reason I choose to buy iPhones is for their VIN-locking. I would rather my phone, if stolen, explode in the theif's hand, than allow for any 3rd party repair, even a battery swap. I want as close to 100% of the phone components to be serialized.
+1 do loop of login
Executing bash statements/scripts/functions is the thing I struggle least with in GH actions personally, it's remarkably easy to execute shell steps. If you really want your entire build to be a shellscript the action executes, you can do just that with very little YAML.
Pairing components doesn't make the device theft proof.

Overwhelmingly phones are stolen and sold as-is, not chop shopped. Chop shopping is generally not a lucrative business because availability of 3rd party parts is a lower cost than the time required to disassemble.

The availability of manufactured parts significantly out scales independent sales.

Contrary to common thought, Apple has a particular issue wherein they are focused upon for repair because their vertical integration results in few models. Less models = more focus on methods to repair.

This means that apples intentional methods to prevent repair are not for your benefit, they're for profits. You can have security and repair.
As far as standard checking/savings/credit card accounts go, I haven't had one that didn't have a csv export option yet. Some of them are very buried and much harder to find and use than I wish, but they are there at least with the banks I use.
I did log in. It still just keeps bringing me back to the login page when I enter a prompt.
How does that integrate in with every else's tooling? At least in enterprise there are a ton of things like "SCA, SBOM, Compliance report, etc" that tie in with plugins and such.

Also, why would a large commercial CI want to have their environment too open?
I think the "loving" half is often not fully loving but other-loving and self-hating.

"I feel annoyed that this person is doing this thing. But if I say something, they may feel angry, so I won't say something... And then will fight against myself instead."
So... committed fraud on the copyright office. I don't think you are going to win that case.

Show me the law that dictates what tools an artist can use? AI is just another tool.
Yeah, approximately no one actually repairs their repairable devices, so making them smaller and more integrated might be better and less wasteful overall.
Author here: Note that this hasn't yet been updated for Cython 3, which does fix or improve some of these (but not the fundamental limitation that you're stuck with C or C++).
Some parts need to be cryptographically linked for security reasons. For example, when the phone used to have a fingerprint sensor I believe all communication between that module and the rest of the phone used public key cryptography so that you couldn't replace the sensor with something less secure.

A second reason for doing this is to make theft of devices less lucrative. If you can't sell a stolen phone for parts, then there's less incentive to steal the phone.

I think there's more that Apple could do to make third party repairs easier without sacrificing security or theft disincentives. Maybe there could be a setting where I, as the owner, can authorize parts salvage of the phone before I sell it.
OP, love it. This is the spirit that makes change.

I’m sure it will batter your brain and crush your soul as these large projects tend to do, but declaring war on a problem and then getting featured on HN doing so is old school hacker and you deserve street cred for it.

If you need to get data out as a feed and you need something robust, you almost always evolve until you land on the WAL option. The only problem with WAL is that many of us are (rightly) moving towards managed cloud sql instances such as AWS Aurora and then your options narrow. It's a fair trade off, but for all the amaze of Supabase, Neon Cockroach et al a PG WAL to AWS native bus / stream with filtering solution is sorely needed. Apologies if this already exists and I've missed it :)
In this case, taxing fossil fuel directly won’t reduce emissions. The increased cost to fossil fuel will simply be passed to the consumers. It just adds cost to the affected employees and makes them accountable for bad corporate policies to make a choice between livelihood and climate. The root of the problem is not addressed. The deep pocket should be accountable. It is the unnecessary emissions forced onto the working class that should be discouraged.
This is 100% the correct answer. If you ever see a home automation or related device that you find interesting your immediate next step should be to enter "Home Assistant <device>" in to your favorite search engine and see what's up.

If the device can not be connected to Home Assistant, or if doing so requires connecting Home Assistant to the vendor's cloud rather than directly connecting to the local device, you should look elsewhere.

Sometimes, especially if the device is based on one of the common ESP chips, there may be options for alternative firmware which solves this problem but whether the alternative firmware supports the features you want or can be easily installed with the hardware and skills you possess will vary situationally.

---

I'm not an Apple user for the most part, but AFAIK HomeKit requires that a device be locally controllable so that's a good starting point when looking at a lot of competing products. If it supports HomeKit there's a decent chance HA will be able to interface with it directly.
I assumed the reason was going to be poor urban planning resulting in sprawling cities which need longer routes. From a scan read, this didn't appear to be the point made in the article.
It doesn't matter whether the author's browser succeeds or not.

What matters is that this project gives the author a meaningful sense of agency in the world and we all need that in order to be psychologically healthy.

I don't see any chip factories in any of those except China and Russia.

I wish I understood why they pretend this is something other than a cold war.
Large corporations are more likely to comply with a policy, so I think that would factor in to when and where policy is more effective than police, no?

What I don't understand about your point is that policy already makes stealing cars, murder, etc. illegal. What do you see as the difference between a policy that forces a car manufacturer to implement some technology that hinders theft vs. a policy that makes theft illegal?

I agree with you that the technology is probably beneficial on the whole and more effective than having police running around attempting to stop every car theft, but you're making this into a debate about policy vs. police, and I'm failing to make sense of how you distinguish one policy (regulating car manufacturing) from another (stealing cars is illegal).

I don't know where this narrative of "the last great thing Apple made was the iPhone" came from. There seems to be a new generation of Apple fanboys that love Steve Jobs, and think everything he did was magic. Apple has innovated an enormous amount in the past 10+ years, so saying that everything they do is "incremental updates" is just completely facetious.
Right?? How old of a device you would have to get to NOT have IPv6 support?

EDIT: But maybe bugs, IDK.
Like Heroku? (disclaimer, haven't used Heroku in years, no idea what the state of it is now).
If he really understood what he's talking about, he would at least say "half the speed of lights" because that's the max speed a fiber cable will ever go.
You still have to build an office building you wouldn't need, run the AC and heater, clean it, etc.
Good luck getting people to drop the "labor"/"not labor" schtick when you literally have people here using Marxist language to describe working from home vs. commuting into an office like it's the 1800s.
Out of IP addresses? Just use NAT.
Man this article sure does seem to claim some specific ill intent or malice from Apple.

I don't really know why there's so much focus on permitting scrapping of parts that are deemed unsalvageable. From Apple's perspective there is no guarantee the parts are any good, or the cost of salvaging exceeds the benefit of just scrapping them for raw materials as is.

Frankly, the prices that Apple seems to be charging for common repairs seems quite reasonable nowadays. I'm not sure what the profit motive is at the prices they list. The new 15 series batteries can be replaced by Apple for $99... Which seems like a bargain for a first party battery that you know is going to be done properly.
The idea is internal teams should be no bigger than what can be fed by 2 pizzas.
That should not be the case - Can you post more details on https://kagifeedback.org
You can't patch that out when it comes to hardware attestation. The entire bootchain is authenticated and you can't spoof it because the authentication mechanism and private key are is in the on-silicon enclave. Anything that's not authorized will fail attestation. You can't patch it out because it's an allowlist. Anything less than official signed boot + OS + apps + configuration + known good hardware private key will fail.

It's about as easy as it would be for an ISP to inject code into an HTTPS page.

The only reason anything works is because Google attestation servers still return a green light for evaluationType=BASIC. Once old devices become rare enough they'll only return a positive attestation for evaluationType=HARDWARE_BACKED.

Go find try and find a single instance of anyone achieving HARDWARE_BACKED with less than a fully stock device.

They are none. No amount of Magisk magic will make it work because it's all taken out of software's hands. Bypasses at that point look like electron microscopes and micro-electronics cleanrooms.
Nice write up and gorgeous find. Reminds me of the Tektronix analog oscilloscopes we had a few decades back when I was at university. Great machines, built like tanks and guaranteed to work for many years as opposed to the modern expendable digital gadgets.
It’s like saying “Zuckerberg and Gates dropped out of school so why shouldn’t I?”.

Chances of replicating Linux success are as big as chances of being next Zuckerberg.

Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it, but align your expectations.

And most importantly, as OP said - it’s pet project. Success isn’t a goal.
Then copy-paste it from SO^H^H your LLM copilot. It's clearly not something that benefits from being an external dependency.
Awesome find, the author is lucky indeed. I've got a 2465 (no B) that I love dearly & have spent too much time & money on.

Maybe they need you to spend more of your money so you have to keep working to make more money.

One of the problems with paying people more is that they often quit to enjoy the money they’ve made.
I am tempted to agree: if separating the two is key (I’m not convinced that it is, but happy to assume) why not copy the interface and the infrastructure of the feature flag and offer it as a configuration tool.

I feel like you could easily add a status to flags, to mark whether they are part of a release process, or a permanent configuration tool, and in the latter case, take them off the release interfaces.

That was, for the most part, just a problem with LLVM governance and development priorities. When the bugs were found in LLVM, GCC was examined and found to have a few similar bugs. GCC fixed these issues relatively quickly, but LLVM sat on them for years.

Normal C/C++ developers doing normal C/C++ development in GCC probably never saw any of those bugs.

I also have some clean up scripts, but the worst part is I have to manually select the tables to extract in the PDF using Tabula. There's still some serious manual reconciliation between credit card and bank statements. I feel good doing it, but it's a slog.

Technically, I might be able to get something similar by using some website to download everything, but honestly I don't trust them. I don't want all of my banking, investment, and spending information consolidated in one place for some tech bro douche bag to sell off to some richer fucks and then lose it to some hackers.

When you sell an old iPhone, the first thing you do is turn off the iCloud bound feature, so someone else can activate it.

There should be a method to do the same for parts.

ie: I broke my phone, it's not functional at all. I should be able to sell it for parts. But I can't. Because the parts are tied to a particular device ID?
I have no idea if the story is true or not, hence the "if true" clause in my post. I was just pointing out that focusing on the technical aspect is missing the point of the story... the degradation could have been triggered by any number of things, the point of the story was the allegation that Google purposely triggered it and disingenuously used that degradation to claim their browser was faster.

Well, cost, right? Cost is a reason why someone may not want to use a traditional RDBMS. AWS RDS and GCP Cloud SQL aren't exactly the cheapest solutions out there.

I mean, they really don't have resources. You need to significantly expand the police force (and spending) if you want this of thing.

And arguably, maybe that's not worth it? Or maybe it is. Either way, this is really a political problem, not a problem with the police.
The PinePhone, yes, but the FairPhone is keeping up. My FairPhone 4 is a great daily driver. Are you confusing the FairPhone with something else?

That's not true. An icloud-locked iphone is a paperweight. Only the components are worth something. Well, were ;)
Unless everyone has unlimited money, then increasing the price of a good decreases the amount of it that is purchased. The higher the price, the less is sold, even for things with low elasticity of demand.

Gas at $5/gallon? SUVs are not a problem, and commuting 1.5 hours in individual cars is a thing. Gas at $30/gallon, and you will see people demand more high density communities with walking/bicycling/public transit infrastructure.
As the other commenter mentions, you can actually use `docker context` to choose which system you want to use for all of your tools. That docker socket you're referencing is just for the default context if you never chose anything.

Personally, this is the behavior I want and I think that is correct. I just installed OrbStack. That means I want it to take over as the new way to use docker. Switching back to any other system is easy and it is documented here: https://docs.orbstack.dev/faq#revert-docker

I suppose Orbstack should make it more obvious what it did and how to revert though.

Maybe I'm paranoid about distractions, but my method is to ask one of my kids to walk in a circle around my car while it's parked in the driveway. I'll adjust my mirrors so that the kid is continuously visible, either directly or in a mirror.
