DanAtC··on Nokia made too many phones
I had never heard of Vertu. They still exist today in some form, hawking some real pricey crap: https://vertu.com/

Looking at the Nokia-era models, none of them support LTE so they're basically worthless these days. People are still trying to sell them on eBay for 100s, though. What a waste.

1 hour lunch is excessive now? Americans, I swear
DanAtC··on CEOs Are Using Return to Office Mandates to Mask Poor Management
> I know several people personally who just blatantly don't work.

Good for them. If this upsets you, then it sounds like you're working too hard.

DanAtC··on Show HN: TLD Squatting
That initial fee is quite the racket. Quarterly's not as bad, but looking at some recent TLDs that have gone inactive you can tell those companies are desperate to save the cash:

Paramount let .cbs and .showtime expire in October, and Gap let .bananarepublic and .oldnavy expire this month.

DanAtC··on Garry Tan, Y Combinator CEO, wishes death upon SF politicians
"[flagged]" of course
DanAtC··on Trello Allegedly Breached
Where do the lists added to HIBP come from? I can't imagine HIBP is paying these characters on BreachForums or wherever they're sold.

DanAtC··on The high price of empty office space
Adapt or die. I don't understand why the landed gentry thinks they're entitled to unlimited return on their investment without some effort.

So I can give my data to Meta? No thanks.
DanAtC··on Governments spying on Apple, Google users through push notifications
Of course they are, how else would they be sent?
DanAtC··on .ing TLD now generally available
You can register as an individual; but I believe they want a valid phone number and mailing address, and a reason for access.

The requests are mostly automatically approved but there are some outliers who take weeks to approve or will reject the request without more info like faxing an ID.

Requests for all these new TLDs sponsored by Google seem to be approved instantly for what it's worth.

DanAtC··on .ing TLD now generally available
These new tlds are a racket.

If you can, get access to czds.icann.org and look over the zone files for .ing and .meme.

No one is registering domains for anything other than trademark protection and speculative squatting.

A lot of money spent for nothing.

DanAtC··on Apple is spending a lot of time and money working out how LLMs might be useful

DanAtC··on Ask HN: Which Wireless Carriers Protect Against SIM Swapping & Port-Out Attacks?
The longer I look at Efani's website, the more it looks like a scam: no clear information about eSIM support, typos, repeated/redundant blog posts that seem AI generated, "11-layer verification" whatever that means...
DanAtC··on I worked in Amazon HR and was disgusted at what I was seeing with PIP plans
The manager was upset because leaving before PIP is regretted attrition which is a metric the manager themselves could get PIPed for.
