RobT7k··on US Government wants DNA and social media from visitors
Isn't your Hackernews account a "Social Media" account? Maybe it is, maybe it's not. We have no idea what the Governments definition of a Social Media Account is.

Some Apple Apps can bypass Little Snitch though.

RobT7k··on CarPlay Ultra, the next generation of CarPlay, begins rolling out today
I'm a big fan of carplay, but I'm not sure I want whatever this is.

Some better integrations, sure. I can see wanting the carplay maps able to know the charge of the battery/fuel levels to plan out trips that include chargers/gas stations on the way.

But, taking over the entire dash? Nah, let's not overcomplicate things too much.

RobT7k··on Mise: Dev tools, env vars, task runner
I'd really like a better idea on Windows support for mise. Especially for development using WSL. It seems like it probably works there, but the docs are pretty slim.

> Note that Windows support is very minimal for now.

RobT7k··on Apple's risky bet on CarPlay
I have zero interest in the CarPlay v2 (as described in the article).

CarPlay v1, however, is an absolute requirement. It works great and gives me pretty much everything I want.

RobT7k··on Apple's union-busting practices violated employee rights at NYC store
Soo, your dell laptop died, and you decided to checkout how far away an Apple Store was? That's a very odd thing to do.

Apple Stores aren't the only way that Apple offers support, it's one of many. Just because it didn't happen to be convenient for one of your scenarios doesn't mean it's not convenient for thousands of others.

Also, from what I can tell, Onsite warranty support is a paid upgrade for Dells, not a default. I could be wrong on that, though, haven't bought a dell in a while. Apple does also support onsite warranty support for some computers if you pay more as well. So I'm really not sure what the point of your comment is.

RobT7k··on No Man's Sky Now on Mac
No, this is for the Mac.

They seem to be teasing the Apple VR as well for later, but this is "all about the Mac"

RobT7k··on Apple introduces Ask Apple for developers
Quinn the Eskimo and Eric Schlegel, you get an answer from them you know it's gold.
