I recently solved a 5-10 year bug in a similar vein. My local network DHCP shared an IP space with the VPN to which I have been connecting. This was causing intermittent and "unexplainable" connection issues that were ultimately due to plain old IP-address collisions.

Sadly, the immense joy that I felt upon resolution is mysteriously lacking from this person's post.

Edit: DHCP not DNS
I have a low end Bose bluetooth speaker that connects up instantly to any of my powered on devices (2x Macbook, iPhone), and can switch between them seamlessly with a button press. I've also never had any issues with Sony WHM1000XM* headphones regarding bluetooth across these devices.

My AirPods frequently hop between my MacBook and iPhone without asking though, because the other device played a split second audio clip.

Strong YMMV I guess.
My 2 cents:

1 - Might have an argument there.

2 - OK, but only if the user is willing to accept the security risk to their apps, Apple and non-Apple. Apple has an interest in keeping the apps they create, or sell for others, secure but should bear no responsibility if a third-party fails to keep to the same standard.

3 - OK. I personally kind of like it because I am a bad person, but OK.

4 - Aren't most of them behind Apple's watches, anyway? I don't have an issue with Apple Watch not being compatible with Android - while Apple shouldn't prevent a third-party (see 2 above) from creating a bridge, they should, in no way, be forced to do it themselves.

5 - (see 2 above) And I don't have an issue with Apple torquing the nuts of banks - the banks do the same to us. And yes, it's my money they're taking from banks, but the banks don't like that, so ... I'm gonna call that one a tie.
Consumers would have to choose a different device if, say, Apple saved money by putting in a lousy screen or a cellular radio that was unreliable... What transitions these ecosystem misfeatures to anti-consumer in a way that an inferior screen isn't?

(I submit they aren't anti-consumer; they're ecosystem control and some consumers find that to be a feature. I know I feel safer recommending my grandma an iPhone because scammers won't trick her into side-loading a root kit into it or loading some fake banking app that she pays money into that just disappears).

Came here to say this! Great episode
Yeah, good point there. Few licensed services probably wanted to co-exist with the RF leakage from a microwave oven.

I imagine that 2.45 GHz was chosen as a compromise between cavity size/cost and food-penetrating power, but I don't think I've seen a definitive historical answer. The sweet spot for cooking effectiveness might even be at a somewhat-higher frequency, but it would have been more expensive to build ovens at higher frequencies back in the day, and it would also be more expensive to shield them properly. Like the GP suggests, at lower frequencies the size of the whole thing starts to become a problem for household use.
This seems pretty useful for me. Out of habit, I have always checked whether I am flying an A320 or a 737 MAX when purchasing plane tickets. The information is usually buried in details, in small text.

RJ45 Join Adapters

I can see why they don't want to let it be possible to export from whatsapp and re-import into a competing chat app. They've gone to quite some efforts to encrypt databases etc. to make that hard.

Allowing cross-platform transfers means they can't use the platforms secure storage features to achieve this - instead they need to write server side code to generate some per-user key, and some DRM-like scheme to validate that only the official client app is requesting the key to decrypt a backup.

I can see why they want to just leave all of that to the platform.
You do not take into account that a demonstration must be peaceful and is not for spreading hate and violence.

If it's not, then it may be forbidden to even start. But Each one is free to call up a court after a 'not allowed'. Often, the decision to forbid is Undone by law ruling.

Each demonstration must be registered with guys who is responsible, with a plan how to sustain the public peace and everything around that. Of course, spontaneous demonstrations are possible too. If you're more than one, you can just sit on the street and say "demonstration". You also can gather in some point - but it must be spontaneous. If it's planned, then there are rules to adhere to.

The ones which has been forbidden have been organized by Islamic organizations which are under observation by themselves - not because they're arabic, but because they are against the german laws and postulate sharia and the things like depression of woman and so on.. Germany is a free state of a lot of people from different cultures. No sharia, no hate against woman, no nothing, but peaceful living alongside each other.

Pro Palestine demos here had a special taste. The guys who decide if ok or not ok look for the dangerousness:

The pro Palestine demonstrators (mostly Arabic) called death to all Jews. They raised ISIS flags, had been aggressive to bypassers and the police. Some guys participating beaten up german Jews, the kids if such believes are getting more violent in the school to other kids, like it's haram for girls to speak to boys and if you're Jewish - one have fear beaten up to death. The synagogues in here has been attacked that much they needed help by the police.

I'm not an Jew or Arabic, but I, too, say: NO! That's not a demonstration covered by the rules. That's pure hate and violence. There's no place in Germany for that.

We're not in Palestina or other states where such is possible. We're a country where everyone try to come along and to live peacefully with each other. So, if you like to demonstrate pro Palestina - be peaceful. Than it's not a problem. Like the other not forbidden pro Palestina demonstrations show :)
IMHO this is gonna kill Redis Labs just like Hashicorp is getting owned and seeking a buyout, and not stop anyone from ripping off Redis Labs, because the folks who truly suffer from this are the small startups who just want to use Redis cache without legal bullshit, whereas for AWS to fork Redis is doable and they could even turn it around and make their fork permissively licensed which suddenly makes Redis Labs into the worse choice in terms of license.

It’s a hard choice to make, but imho either keep your code proprietary or stick with “Apache OR MIT” … all this stuff about switching licenses partway down the line is really lame and just seems destined to backfire.

Open Source is about user ownership of software. If we try to get around that with legal trickery to make a buck, then it’s not going to hurt the big corpo teams, but rather the users. Big corpo teams are users too, they don’t want to deal with this legal mess either. Like it or not, Redis has always been a permissive open source project which is why it has been a success. Changing that is changing the equation in that regard going forward and portends bad outcomes for everyone involved.

We had Dell laptops with the dock. If you undocked the laptop under the right circumstances, which we could never determine, the dock would go into a mode where it would start spamming IEEE 802.3x PAUSE frames into the network as fast as it possibly could.

Our switches didn't handle this correctly and would forward the PAUSE frame as it if it were a broadcast. When this happened, the entire network would cease to function until the offending dock was found and disconnected.

Forget iMessage, I just want media messages from iPhone to not be sub-144p pictures/videos. I know sms is limited but I doubt that's a technical limitation.

And yea, Gamepass was an immediate thought of something a company wanted to ship but Apple blocked. Between that and the Epic Games store it looks like there's gonna be a lot more options to game on IOS by the turn of the decade.
In the U.S. where this lawsuit was filed, Apple controls 50-60% of the smartphone market, where the next largest competitor Samsung holds only 20-25% [1]. Among U.S. teenagers the iPhone has a massive 87% market share [2]. That is indisputably dominant.

No, the question is "does one company have too much influence over the digital economy". The answer is yes. Apple has influence over 60% of the population. They extract 30% from all digital transactions. If you want to sell digital content to iPhone user's you're required to give Apple 30%. That's too much influence for one company.

At higher frequencies, the problem with 2.4-GHz microwave ovens only tending to cook the outer layers of food becomes even more acute. If you were to actually build a microwave oven at 95 GHz, it would suck because only the very outermost layers of the 'food' would see any meaningful heating.

That’s kind of what I think. Make an iCloud subscription tier that includes access to messages and then include it in the web-browser version of iCloud and make an Android app for messages. I can’t imagine it would have to cost much more than $10-$15.
A few years ago I sent a message to spez on Reddit asking if he'd ever open source the original Lisp version of Reddit. He actually responded and said he couldn't find it, but then a while later it was indeed released. I like to think maybe I contributed to the butterfly effect of that happening.

Large US corps I suspect have been left alone for this long because they are creating economic value for the country. Also it was unclear how the public might react, but the EU actions seem to be beneficial with the rest of the world having to live with inferior products, so now would be a good time to act.
I’d prefer if Apple spent its scarce engineering resources on bringing new innovations to market and not facilitating other people to copy what they build. From Apple’s perspective the request is even more twisted: they should move to standardize all their technology and also give it away for free (lest folks complain about paying a “Core Technology Fee”!)?
> the ASF will always provide all of it's released software under a similar style permissive license to Apache-2.0, as long as the organization is around.

What makes you think that? What stops a few "evil" people from getting on the board and changing the mission in some way and then changing the license so that it is no longer permissive?

I've never been clear on what stops the above attack. Many people have setup foundations on their death that are now promoting things the person was clearly against in their life. Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech is now property of his heirs who milk that copyright for all the dollars they can get - I believe this is not what he would have wanted. There are plenty of other examples.
I have multiple pairs of high end Sony headphones, Pixel buds, numerous Bluetooth speakers, and Bluetooth works reliably when I pair those phones to my AV receiver, my PS5, my Pixel phone, my tablet, or my TV. I rarely have any problems: the audio is clear, the latency is not noticeable, and devices connect quickly and without fuss.

There are corner cases that cause annoyance, and those corner cases are indeed around where Apple is adding on top of Bluetooth: The ability to instantly switch the connected device without needing to disconnect from a previous device, and the ability to pair just by having the devices close. Those features are replicated in the Android ecosystem but are not standard.

If those two features are what you mean by "sucks" then fine. But that doesn't imply that Bluetooth doesnt work reliably, just that it doesn't have these two features broadly supported.

A difference here is that fast pairing and device switching on Android, while not a standard part of the protocol, is open for device manufacturers to support, unlike Apple's versions of these features.

> there are discontinuities in the marginal tax rate, not the effective tax rate

This is often claimed. And the whole point of the article and much of this discussion is that no, there are often major steps / discontinuities in the overall tax rate. In the US, the many ACA discontinuities just by themselves are large and do not effectively pay attention to the bottom line. For that matter, I don't know of a single country or US state that actually "runs on effective tax rate". Which might be a solution to the problem if anyone were actually looking for a solution to the problem.
As a new engineer (engineer #2) at a startup decades ago, I was asked to teach the new incoming engineers about the company product.. Next week.

Doubtful, Google got dinged pretty hard in part because there were too many steps to allow other app stores to exist, and becsuse app stores couldn't auto-update apps like Google Play could.

And all that is way easier than rooting/jailbreaking. I doubt that will be enough of a deterrent considering the anti-trust angle being that you can't compete with apple's native software

No. I think part of the value of Redis to date was exactly that it was BSD licensed. When I started using it, I showed many other developers what they could do with it, and those devs took Redis to work, and built products and some bought services/products from Redis. Without the open source product, Redis the company would likely not exist as it does today. Times change, and the right strategy for Redis the company probably looks a lot different than when they started it on the back of Antirez's still awesome software.
I can't dispute this, but since you shared an anectdote I will also. I haven't seen this in any of the communities I visit personally. Do you mean bot accounts which are passing themselves off as real people and karma farming? Or bots that self identify as such to fill a legit need?

If you click a link, fill out a web form, send in a physical letter, or make a phone call and effectively say I want to get info on <product> and the company gives your name to an affiliate who is a licensed professional to try to sell you <product> I don't think it counts as spam either.

I wish your phone had a standardized way to link your expressed intent, the nature of the caller, and official nature/licensing or professional affiliation and show this data on your phone during receipt or during call kind of like you can click on an icon and get information about the legitimacy of a website.

EG when you express the interest in <product> a singular number is created on your end and carried through to anyone who is actually acting such request whether it was asking someone to fix your cable or sell you life insurance and you could then verifiably see beyond caller idea and absolutely verifiable and relevant info in order to ascertain more data than is available via caller ID
