They're Apple doing Apple things. While many of their products are reasonably priced when compared against the alternative, they're also very famous for having outlandish prices if you, for example, increase drive storage.

Fun fact, the “open” in OpenBSD doesn’t refer to open source licensing, but to an open development process, including the ability to anonymously checkout the CVS repository without an account, which was a novelty in the 90s.

> An economic theory described as part of "heterodox economics" can, in fact, be relatively mainstream

No. It cannot. This time I cite the literal first sentence of the Wikipedia definition of heterodox economics.

> It used to be that a person in the US could graduate from high school and get a factory job that provided enough income to have a house with a yard, a non-working spouse, and children.

This is more mythology than reality. The areas where it came the closest to being true excluded over half the population (women, non-white men) and were in industries and times where the U.S. had an enormous advantage over bombed out, financially precarious European competitors while our high upper-bracket tax rates and large numbers of government jobs provided strong support for the economy.

Tariffs can’t get us back there, and alone they can’t even get close because what you really need are investments in a support web of infrastructure, education, and policy over time. That looks more like what Biden did with the CHIPS act where they invested in the factories, employees, committed to doing so long enough to make a multibillion dollar investment safe, and there was no talk of tariffs before alternatives existed. In the cases where tariffs make sense, they’re a limited part of a larger strategy.
Billboards are targeted at a very specific demographic: drivers. They're designed to draw attention away from the road and to whatever it is that they're trying to sell.

That reason alone is enough to ban billboards: we can't tell drivers they're terrible people for glancing at their phone for a second to get directions while simultaneously allowing corporations to plaster the roadway with ads that are deliberately designed to distract them.

People dunk on the USB port being on the bottom because it's an example of how comically opinionated Apple's design is. Even if it only takes a few minutes to charge, Apple decided to make the mouse unusable during those few minutes because they don't want people using their wireless mouse as a wired mouse.
Have you measured how much latency it adds to each query? Naively I'd expect adding in an extra network hop to be a pretty big hit.

You sound like Gary Marcus.
I mean, I completely disagree with the premise used to establish the argument.

> After the contractors appealed the mistake, city staff required them to tear the wall out and reinstall the approved siding.

This sounds to me like the most bullshit of bullshit jobs out there. Seems to me like if it was the building owners prerogative, great replace the siding, but city staff being involved in such seemingly trite issues—often with poor taste—infuriates me.

Sorry, your house doesn't meet the shadow requirements, you'll have to tear it down and try again. Sorry your house is 3ft too tall based on our policy from 50 years ago. Sorry, the outside has to be beige not some other silly thing, this is a place where people come to live out the rest of their dull existence without having to contend with hue. Your fence must be white, it says so right here!

That said, billboards do suck and we should ban them I guess.
The first amendment does not require allowing people to put up enormous structures along the highway that are designed with the express intention of coaxing drivers into focusing on your product instead of the road. That falls pretty cleanly into the kind of provably and immediately dangerous speech we don't typically allow.
I don't know what you mean by "full" free speech rights. But for the last 50 years, under the Burger, Rehnquist, and Roberts courts, pure commercial speech has been held to be protected by the First Amendment. The Burger court overturned Valentine.
Billboards have been banned in Hawaii for a century ie. they were banned even before it became a state. Their are also billboard bans in Alaska, Vermont, and Maine.
When I worked at Apple, I didn't use the Apple mouse either. I used a USB gaming mouse that fit my hand a bit better. I wasn't the only one, and it wasn't weird in the office. Most people didn't use Apple monitors either, I believe mine was an LG, though I don't remember for sure.

I think there's this perception that Apple is this authoritarian company that will execute you for using any competitors' product, but that really wasn't the case. When COVID hit, I bought a giant Samsung TV to use as a monitor, expensed it, and it was approved within the same day. For the first six months I was there, I used an Android, and it worked fine enough for that, even for 2FA stuff.

I don't really blame Tim Cook for using a different brand of mouse. It doesn't even imply that it's bad, just not the one he uses.

I will complain about my time at Apple all the time, but this is not something that I thought they were bad about.
This is what Adbusters has been supposed to be advocating for for decades. Except for that instead of just focusing on getting ads banned, they switched focus and started complaining about George W. Bush instead. And that is why we still have billboard advertising to this day.

It's the best case study I know of on the importance of just sticking to your one issue and not getting caught up trying to fix everything else that's broken in the world.

When I bought a Model 3 last year I knew full well the issues with charging, temperature capacity loss, battery heating, etc. What I was surprised by was loss of regen! If the battery is below 20F or so then the firmware will only give it a trickle of regen braking. After all, it's effectively very fast charging, which a frozen battery can't handle.

I wonder if regen braking going to zero is behind some of the horror stories of sudden unexpected range loss in cold temps.
Polar.sh looks great. Do they accept PayPal payments? Probably half of my sales on Gumroad come from PP.
Missouri talked about banning billboards in the 90s.

The end result was not only did the ban not pass, but the billboard companies through up what might, in scientific terms, be called a "metric f@ckton" of them down I-70 along with the rest of the state's highways.

They're ugly as dog crap. You don't realize just how many there are until you go up to Iowa and drive in a geographically-similar area and don't have to see the landscape spoiled by "LION'S DEN ADULT SUPERSTORE" and "HELL IS REAL" billboards.

What do you count as data? I can keep naming big breaches that didn't involve exploits, like the Caesars and MGM ransomware attacks, or Russia getting deep into Microsoft. There aren't good public data sets, though.

As an example of a bad data set for this conversation, the vast majority of published CVEs have never been used by an attacker. CISA's KEVs give a rough gauge of this, with a little north of 1300 since 2021, and that includes older CVEs that are still in use, like EternalBlue. Some people point to the cardinality of CVE databases as evidence of something, but that doesn't hold up to scrutiny of actual attacks. And this is all before filtering down to memory safety RCE CVEs.

Probably the closest thing to a usable data set here would be reports from incident response teams like Verizon's, but their data is of course heavily biased towards the kinds of incidents that require calling in incident response teams. Last year they tagged something like 15% of breaches as using exploits, and even that is a wild overestimate.

> Memory safety is definitely a worthwhile investment.

In a vacuum, sure, but Python, Java, Go, C#, and most other popular languages are already memory safe. How much software is actively being written in unsafe languages? Back in atmosphere, there's way more value in first making sure all of your VPNs have MFA enabled, nobody's using weak or pwned passwords, employee accounts are deactivated when they leave the company, your help desk has processes to prevent being social engineered, and so on.
It's true. Large businesses have unfair advantages in general, and I think we should discourage large businesses from existing, too.
Thank you for the history lesson! :)
I would define "advertisement" in this context as "paying someone else to say something of your choosing".

So, in the case of a billboard, if you are paying a landlord, that's advertising. If you are paying a newspaper to print a specific article, that's also advertising. This means paid press releases are also not allowed. Product placement would fall under this definition too - if a specific car brand is paying you to feature their cars in a movie, that's advertising.

Notably, it's not advertising if no payment is being made. If you are making a movie and you decide to feature a specific car brand - and you aren't getting any kickbacks for it - that's completely allowed.

It's also not advertising if it's first-party. For example, a sign that's advertising a restaurant is allowed if the actual restaurant itself is underneath that sign. And it's also not advertising if Disney is pushing Disney movies and products at Disney World, because Disney owns the full creative rights to Disney World and they aren't being paid by outsiders to adjust the messaging.

This definition can even be robust to grey areas like "what if a car brand makes a movie featuring their cars?" - well, how is that movie being distributed? Are they paying people to distribute the movie, or is it genuinely a good movie that people are distributing on their own? Paying people to distribute the movie is not allowed, but if the movie is good enough that people are distributing it anyway of their own volition, then it's okay!

Overall, the definition is pretty large, and paid promotion is so deeply ingrained into modern society that it's difficult to imagine exactly how much would change if advertising was banned. But, quite a lot would change! Pretty much the entire playbook for all commercial enterprises for "how to tell the world about your thing" would have to be re-written, and new institutions would have to be developed to replace advertising.

But I think society overall would benefit greatly from the change!
I rarely see something this hard to relate to - I think I'm pretty open-minded.

I don't get 10% as angry as most people regarding e.g. removing the audio jack, the MacBook USB power port, the touch bar, the shape of the mouse, lack of side-loading on iOS, app store rules, etc etc. Those were/are all bad - but I also see the other side of all of them.

The USB port being on the bottom of the mouse isn't in that list. It's like seeing insanity in a physical form. It's unaccountable.
For those that don’t want to click on this mostly contentless article, it’s the MX Master 3.

I also have one and I can confirm that it’s a hell of a mouse. I would recommend it for nearly every type of intensive computer work: web browser stuff, CAD, software development, spreadsheets, editing tasks, anything really. I’ve had people try to convince me to switch before and I never believed it’d make a difference until eventually a friend (mechanical engineer) just gave me hers and now I can’t live without it.

Tip, if you don’t want to use the Logitech bloatware the apps LinearMouse and Mac Mouse Fix are both open source and help you get some of the advanced functionality back.

The EU, rather famously, managed with Microsoft. It's mostly the US that's beholden to large corporations over people, rather than it being an intractible problem.

> Meta hardly has anything approaching a monopoly for either advertisers or consumers

Meta does not command the lions share of the time spent on social media, but claiming >20% of revenue is oligopoly territory [0,1]

Do you really belive LinkedIn and Google Photos compete with SnapChat and Facebook for "Sharing photos with friends on social media"? If so, you might as well throw Flikr and Imgur on your list, though I wouldn't count them in the same market either.

> Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that day, Davis said he mostly used the MX Master 3, but sometimes switched to a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.

I respect the sentiment but I think it should not be as drastic as that. However they should have to follow the same rules and regulations that many insiders follow at public and private firms. Specifically those firms that do investments or trading. The fear of god is put into you about the importance of compliance with MNPI due to enforcement actions from the government yet the government itself pays no mind to it.
I’d rather ban the behavior required for targeting (building invasive dossiers on everyday normal people), than the (admittedly annoying) speech.

Tariffs come in as a trigger for domestic industrial revival. The thinking is: by making imports expensive, you create room for U.S. producers to step in
But here’s the problem: American factories can’t scale up overnight.
So in the short term, consumers will face higher prices.
The administration knows this.
That’s why they’re front-loading the pain now, betting that by 2026, the benefits will be visible.
In the meantime, they’re offering some near-term relief.
Tax cuts have already been floated to help offset the cost burden on households.
And while risky, currency devaluation may follow later to make imports cheaper without lifting tariffs.

Having a robot perform increasingly sophisticated tasks in your development environment still seems like a win in certain circumstances.
This. I've worked plenty of places that have awful work/life balances, friends that work in the trades are getting 1.5x to 2x on overtime while I'm working 12-16 hour days and weekends for nothing extra except the possibility of getting fired for performance if I didn't.

I've worked construction when I was younger and wouldn't want to be still doing it at my age, it was physically harder but I wouldn't say it was tough work and at the end of the day I'd leave and not think about it again until I showed up the next day.
This sounds like sarcasm but I’ll assume the best interpretation.

Why do you think unregulated capitalism will solve the advertising problem? Other than what I am guessing your point is to relying on a large portion to punish bad advertisers and that eventually those companies will do boring adverts.

Clearly the average Joe/Jane is persuadable, and does not have an iron will to never be manipulated.

Clearly unrestrained advertisement is how we got here in the first place.
In the specific case here, 7z is your friend for all zips and compressed files in general, not sure I've ever used unzip on Linux.

Related to that, the Unix philosophy of simple tools that do one job and do it well, also applies here a bit. More typical workflow would be a utility to tarball something, then another utility to gzip it, then finally another to encrypt it. Leading to file extensions like .tar.gz.pgp, all from piping commands together.

As for versioning, I'm not entirely sure why your Debian and Ubuntu installs both claim version 6.00, but that's not typical. If this is for a personal machine, I might recommend switching to a rolling release distro like Arch or Manjaro, which at least give upto date packages on a consistent basis, tracking the upstream version. However, this does come with it's own set of maintenance issues and increased expectation of managing it all yourself.

My usual bugbear complaint about Linux (or rather OSS) versioning is that people are far too reluctant to declare v1.00 of their library. Leading to major useful libraries and programs being embedded in the ecosystem, but only reaching something like v0.2 or v0.68 and staying that way for years on end, which can be confusing for people just starting out in the Linux world. They are usually very stable and almost feature complete, but because they aren't finished to perfection according to the original design, people hold off on that final v1 declaration.
If I throw a pamphlet on the ground I have broken some city ordinance or law. If I blow it up so that nobody in the vicinity can avoid seeing it, then I'm all good.

Bizarre.

Trash is trash whether it's a piece of paper on the ground or blown up to billboard size.
Design boards, zoning, permitting processes, etc have been a disaster for the affordability and inequality of the cities that lean into them. Advertising has serious drawbacks but these arbitrary design boards should be pared back and disempowered.
You’re likening actual rocketry to LLMs being mildly successful at describing Paul Newman’s alcohol use on average when they already have the entire internet handed to them.
Nah. There's no evidence to support your claim. You're just making things up to try to find a plausible, friendly sounding excuse to justify government censorship. Citation needed.

Life is hard. It's even harder when you're stupid. Government regulation can never change that reality.
"And, since nobody else is allowed to pay for people's attention, you aren't competing with budgets, you are competing with other ideas. Imho this makes for a much more interesting information landscape."

"You want to like us on facebook and get a perk for free on your app? (No money involved)."

"Hey you maybe want a job? We will give one to those who spread the word most about us"

Devil is in the details. And humans have a lot of details.

Otherwise I am all for starting to ban of advertisement, what is possible.

But disruption should be expected. A lot.

(I mean, most of the internet is financed by ads)

My non-Apple wireless mouse supports being used as a wired mouse, and it's great!

Worrying about the battery goes from a question of "rarely" to "literally never". And I never have to ask myself where the dongle is, which computer it's paired to, or the amount of wireless interference from my neighbors.
Given that Apple was the first home computer maker to offer mice, it's odd how they've lagged behind pretty much ever since. e.g. For a brief while they sold perfectly round "puck" mice that you had to look at to orient every time you grasped them (These are the worst mice I've ever used.). If you didn't grasp them just right, X and Y would become a nausea-inducing mix of XY and YX. It also took Apple decades to finally admit that, yes, at least some users would like more than one button on their mouse. Who else honestly thought that they'd have moved the charging port on their current mice by now?

It's been the same since the 90's. If you buy a mac, the first thing you should do is replace the mouse.
I literally don't understand what you are having issues with on these videos. How do you get cognitive overload on tasks designed for a child?
Not only that, but they were then told to post forced speech by a court not let locations that sell cigarettes.

Whatever, I don't see the difference between PMI/RJR advertising and Anheuser-Busch, and Bayer, and Pfizer, and the US Army, and six car insurance companies all claiming to have the lowest rates and best service.

I kicked television out of my house in 2002. I don't have any streaming services provided by a third party, nor do I really listen to the FM band on my car radio, nor XM. The ads are too many to bear.

Pihole, ad nauseam. If you bypass my pihole, my browser clicks every ad you show and sends the data to /dev/null except what site, timestamp, and a thumbnail of the ad. Its not botting; I'm actively hostile to advertising.
Is backward compatibility even possible?
You sound like someone who has never had to run an event, concert, protest, market a new product, or build reputation on an existing one. Your solution — rely on influencers who only review — is unscalable across industries, price points, and ultimately eye balls.
