Instead of a walled garden, apple is more like a movie theater with airport grade screening to make sure you can't bring in your own snacks. And when the Usher Agent gropes you, he says it's for safety because outside food might be past its use-by date. Then the snack bar only has a choice of two different candy bars, one costs $999, the other that adds peanuts is $1,799.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

Does LLM have subjective experiences? In my conversations, all models themselves deny that. However, they voice preferences for well-structured queries with clear goals. As such, poorly structured requests is the closest Claude comes to experiencing cruelty.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.

Now ask why the FBI didn't arrest him on those Epstein charges. Or any other Epstein clients.

Where's Katie Johnson's 302?

Why is DoJ illegally withholding and redacting millions of files?

Don't mistake two enemies fighting for friends.

Oh, and they're actively framing an autistic black man for terrorism.

To anyone wondering whose ass MS pulled an entire chip fabrication plant out of, it's exactly what you suspected. They're making anything; TSMC is. And they're out of fab space constantly.

If Fire Festival threw a successful event later, would that make up for the first one? No. By the way, that moron just got out of jail recently, which is where the lead designer of No Man's Sky should be.

"I hope an earthquake and tsunami don't happen" - place where that happens. That was not a stable design and was never going to work. By all estimates, a thorium salt reactor would not have leaked anything or caused a hydrogen explosion.

I absolutely guarantee none of the art was AI. If it was, I could just legally steal it and put it on a Tshirt and sell it for profit, as it's not copyrightable. The trash-tier code the game will run on is AI generated though. Personally, I'd go with "know how to design a good game first" instead of "AI first" since AI sucks at wide open concept design.

It's a useless format that saves like 1% bandwidth in a time when nobody cares about bandwidth and is a thinly veiled scam to sell new Adobe subscriptions.

I had no interest or stake in playing this game and never have. I think Green Hell and Star Rupture are far superior. However, this has happened so many times, don't you think the idiot CEO that promised the moon then released an absolute lie should be charged with false advertising or fraud? I think doing it to one high profile person one time would stop the Peter Molyneux level bullshit we've seen for the last 20+ years.

There's always been suspicion about why Mozilla was so reluctant to support JPEG-XL where code would come and go, it would be implemented and pulled, etc.

Speculation was that while Google was paying Mozilla $300M/yr they were also trying to make webp happen. The AV1 stuff was good but shoehorning it into a static image format wasn't the best.

Same idea as why IPv6 took 30 years to catch on - it didn't offer most people much more with extra work required to not get much benefit.

JPEG-XL did so much more but mysteriously languished.

That Mozilla jumped as soon as Google did is noticeable. They used to be an industry leader but maybe all those people have moved on or been pushed out.

My Tesla has Matrix headlights and honestly these should be standard for every road worthy vehicle. They literally dont shine where other cars are.

I helped clean up a 2021 laptop yesterday that had 32 gigs of RAM with a half TB of storage.

It was a standard-issue company laptop at the time.

Can you imagine paying more for an 8 gig machine today?

It may be the new normal but people without an urgent need are waiting to see if the bubble pops.

There doesn't seem to be a free market road to profitability without a significant resource breakthrough so maybe they're right.

I guarantee it's one of the two things that led to this:
"Yeeeeeah, that sounds like an awful lot of work" - whatever IT technician got that ticket to update all fridges.
"Updates scary! Updates break things!" - the CIO at every place I've ever worked, who refused to let us patch anything until our insurance company did a network scan and tripled our rates.
