Signify, the makers of the product, are slowly but surely moving towards a subscription model, and requiring a login at all times is a first step to that. They are starting with their (stupidly expensive) security products where some functionality needs to be paid for, but they are bound to start moving other functionality behind a subscription model.

I am genuinely upset, as up until now, their lighting products have been excellent, easily better quality over alternatives in terms of physical build and capabilities. I have been a staunch Hue supporter since I first bought one of their products.

Some of the better functionality, such as the ease-in and ease-out instead of a hard on/off as well as the gradual dimming —> off for motion-sensor controlled lamps are really hard, if not impossible, to manage with the various 3rd party tools. Node-red can do a mostly-decent job, but that requires a level of work that few people are willing to invest, for results that are still not that great.

It is a real pity, but i’ll be looking for alternatives now.

Yeah, "software defined radio" was a "huh?" for me.
if you live in an inhospitable climate (arizona for example) with pets or perhaps otherwise disabled individuals left at home (grandparents?), remote ability to control thermostat has proven useful.

that said, useful in this case means saving a bit of money by adjusting its settings. a manual (non cloud) thermostat would work too.

Yes, you're poorly explaining the difference between freedom-as-in-liberty and freedom-as-in-anarchy and then calling it idiotic.

You are literally more free if there were no laws about murder but your actual real life freedom would be reduced because you of all the precautions you now have to take.

Apple right now is operating as a de facto governing body forcing developers on the platform to follow its rules that whether or not you like it do sometimes benefit the user against some of the very worst actors. Taking away their ability to have those rules does also take away the benefits users get. And lord knows actual governments, even the EU, aren't going to enforce consumer protections. Whether or not that's worth it to you is fine, both stances are valid but it does logically follow.

My mistake, it was Hannibal published in 1999.

“Mapp had inherited her grandmother’s skillet and used it often. It had a glassy black surface that no soap ever touched. Starling put it in front of her on the table.”

I read the series long after publication date and remembered going, “wait, the no soap thing has been around THAT long?”
So am I, but I really wanted to control lighting (color ans temperature) in my living room and smart bulbs was the easiest way I could do it. I had some random cheap polish wifi lights but the delays on controlling then just drove me off. Decided to switch to hue at some point and just color quality and responsiveness was better.

I only have them for that and I love to adjust the mood via lighting. I don't care about any further automation. I also don't care much if it was Philips or someone else that gave me light bulbs.
I recall reading about this in 2010, and again in 2014. I hope this group can get it to work.

Apple is the wealthiest single organization in the history of the world, and they just make consumer electronics. This isn't some deep ecological problem. Very little good has come out of letting these big corporations go completely unchecked.

I know someone who hacked their college system for applying for classes, it was a points-based system and he gave himself some ridiculous number of points, he got caught, ended up not getting in trouble

They also told him they had fixed the vulnerability. But they hadn’t, so the guy hacked the system again, and he gave himself a high number of points, just not a ridiculous number. He never got caught again

I think some people take it for granted, but your argument is also a good one for being less satisfied with our current state of affairs.

Just imagine how many more people would be even more liberated from inhumane work and low living conditions if wealth didn’t accrue quite so severely to the top N%.

Not a reason to stop progress IMO but a good reason to question it and try to nudge it in certain directions.
I think Debian is one of the first places AMD should be looking to fund for ROCm.

Especially if there's already motivated capable volunteer labor, and all they need is equipment, and maybe a devrel point of contact.

BTW, the firmware update from the last week or so made a world of difference in the stability.

What features didn’t work on Ventura? Never encountered an issue there. Bartender does a paid upgrade almost yearly. That weird item in the menu bar is due to an Apple API change that they have to adapt to. Plus the new version has the most features I think I’ve seen in any release ever.

Well, of course. Edge cases aside, why shouldn’t anyone save on money when it’s acceptable to do so?

Read CitiGroup's Plutonomy paper and equity strategy that addresses just this contradiction[1].

The economy will shift to just addressing the wants and needs of those with wealth via luxury goods and services:

> How do we make money from this theme? We see two ways. The first is simple. If you believe, like us, that the Plutonomy exists, and explains why global imbalances have built up (for example the savings rate differentials), and you believe there is no imminent threat to plutonomy, you must in turn believe that the current “end of the world is nigh” risk premium on equities, due to current account deficits, is too high. Conclusion: buy equities.

> There is however a more refined way to play plutonomy, and this is to buy shares in the companies that make the toys that the Plutonomists enjoy.

Ok, then what should they get paid for?

Lets imagine your future world.

Manual labor, right? No, that's done by robots.

Arts and music... well, no. Some generative LLM hooked up to the data feeds of all human emotions is cranking more art/music per day then all 10 billion people on the planet can ever consume.

Sex, the oldest profession. Na, Cherry (and Ken) 2000 came out a decade ago and has met our more primal needs since then.

Amazing that bit about child welfare organisations fighting against the science, when clearly taking children away based on false accusations is clearly far worse for the child’s welfare, not to mention the parents’!

It’s just incredible the injustice that can be done in the name of protecting children. I really do wonder if it’s cultural or some kind of innate psychological irrarionality that seems stronger in some than others. I love kids and care deeply about their welfare, but people sometimes try to make me feel bad or that I’m the weird one for being able to think (I believe) fairly rationally about the risks and dangers that they face, instead of massively over-exaggerating!

Or of course the opposite, keeping an appropriate eye on relations and acquaintances when people assume they’re totally safe but it’s actually somebody with that level of relation who’s likely to be a danger than a stranger.

To me the title reads very differently - it's saying that if you demand certainty you'll wind up treating something uncertain as certain, and hence believing something untrue.

For reference incidentally, the title is a callback to the last line of a previous post[1] by the same author, on an unrelated topic. So it's presumably meant to be less a statement about Ngrams, and more a recurring theme in the author's views on language.

Permeating through all human activity are the varying but powerful laws of opinion, favor, desire, fear, and belief. The rule breakers you described simply poked at some imagined rule and discovered it wasn't among the ones that ended up making a difference. Still, to become a doctor one must submit themselves to years or trials, you must at the very least care for the rules crucial to that kind of success.
I would be very surprised if someone could demonstrate that the reason Apple’s platform is more valuable to developers than Android doesn’t have quite a bit to do with things Apple has done, and continues to do.

Why would you act differently when you're experiencing symptoms but the test is negative, if you know the negative is (relatively) highly likely to be "false"? And why would you test if you're having no symptoms?
To me it is a very definition of useless test - neither positive nor negative add anything to decision making.
Seems like Phillips's plan was to hook in the tech enthusiasts with prime usability, then when it became popular enough, ramp into locking things down with cloud subscriptions.

This is effectively enshittification.
I've been really enjoying voice controls for my lights. It's not always more convenient than my lights, but overall I like the experience.

With Apple TV + a home pod I also get a fair bit of TV control with my voice which is nice.

> “We’re bringing this case because Amazon’s illegal conduct has stifled competition across a huge swath of the online economy. Amazon is a monopolist that uses its power to hike prices on American shoppers and charge sky-high fees on hundreds of thousands of online sellers,” said John Newman, Deputy Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition. “Seldom in the history of U.S. antitrust law has one case had the potential to do so much good for so many people.”

Good lighting is a luxury for sure but can definitely get complicated to control properly with just switches. The other thing is, once you’re in that ecosystem, you fiddle a lot at the beginning and then you don’t. My lights get blue and bright during the day and get warmer into the evening and since I work in the living room, it’s nice to have the two setups together.

When it works, it just feels good but certainly isn’t a necessity. And of course that’s just lights. I used to have my hvac system integrated into HomeKit too and again, it was nice being able to control the thermostat in my kids room without having to go in. More recently I’ve had a neighbor that smokes a lot of weed and something about the closets being badly insulated is letting in all his smoke in my daughter’s room. Tried talking to the guy and nothing happened. Luckily, his smoking schedule is super precise and I was able to set timers for my kids air purifier to go off at his exact smoking time for 1 hour. It’s been 3 months since I’ve seen particulate matter go above 30ug/m^2…it used to get as high as 180!

Being a renter means I’m only halfway into the automation game but I gotta say, given the right product and platform I’m all in. And if something doesn’t work right then it’s time to reverse engineer it and make it behave.

Liability limitation is standard legal boilerplate in literally every free software and open source license. No doubt it's also present in the terms of service documents which nobody reads before accepting. If you're gonna object to using software based on that, you might find you'll have to rewrite all of it or pay top dollar for service level agreements.

Fenced By Amazon (FBA) is an Amazon program where thieves send stolen goods to Amazon and Amazon gives them money. The FBI has no chance of taking every "ring", consisting of a thief with an Amazon account, down.
It's available now with an enterprise license, because we validate that it is running correctly on a system we help configure.

We will open source pieces of it over time. Our strategy is open source functional core. Eventually we will have an open source dev environment that runs on a personal scale computer.
We already have this for some configurations, but we don't do enough testing to ensure perf/functionality on many different systems.

You’re confounding the concepts of organized and unorganized militia. The US has both; the framing of “security of a free State” implies that the 2A is almost certainly referring to the former and not the latter.

(For why, understand that the framers themselves understood that a constitution cannot contain its own undoing, i.e. contain clauses that would allow the people to lawfully dismantle their own government. 2A interpretations that hinge on the individual’s right to overthrow a hypothetically tyrannical federal government fly in the face of this.)
Depends on your threat modeling. Are you running untrusted code on the worker (maybe you have an org with thousands of engineers, maybe you're running builds from a public fork)? Sure, that's an issue. Are you a small startup? Take the convenience and focus on the bigger fish to fry.

The issue is that Amazon is taking over more and more parts of the process from manufacturing to delivery to the end user.

It worked on Intel macs because it worked in Windows. May be a different story on Apple Silicon though. Maybe a challenge for the Asahi Linux devs. I have no idea where in the stack MST happens and whether it requires any hardware magic.
Yep. Microsoft also hasn’t banned Steam from windows, forcing everyone to buy games from their own official windows App Store where they take a juicy cut of all sales.

Microsoft also doesn’t charge a ransom fee for 3rd party applications to use the hardware features of my computer, that I’ve already paid for. Apple does this with the NFC chip in iPhones - public transit companies the world over need to pay Apple money to use the nfc chip present in iPhones to pay for transit.
Then what’s to stop them from pulling a tactic out of Apple’s book and simply “soft-force“ upgrades in to the new versions (and new TOS)?
When there were multiple years between Mac OS releases, it was not as difficult. I also found big cat names easier to remember (perhaps because I’m more familiar with them than California landmarks). I also liked the Leopard/Snow Leopard and Lion/Mountain Lion cadence.

Maybe. Incentives are different on iOS. Apps are more-restricted and the platform’s more valuable. Could play out like it did on Android, but might not.
