It would be beneficial to have unvarnished tweets from someone in a technical role, written for technical peers rather than the general public. The press and tech journalists can filter the jargon into something useful for customers. "Dashboards are showing ABC, we're trying XYZ, so far it's looking like LMN", even if the public don't understand what is being said, is more reassuring than a generic statement. It suggests competence and hints that yes, it really is a difficult problem.
(Oh my, has it really been that long?)
Given some of their commentary, I'm not sure it can be claimed they were making a good-faith effort. There is a clear agenda to their analysis.
At this point I always globally disable wake timers in Windows. They're mostly used for automatic updates. (For more fine-grained control, look at the various wake timers in Task Scheduler.)
And if you do move away from Apple's Passkey to your second key, you'll want to buy and set up a new backup key. So have to do the tedious mass-enrollment anyway.
The real trouble I had with the old versions was the inability to build walls. As I recall, once you dug something out it was dug forever.
It's possible I'm unaware that there is a simple protocol for this. Am I incorrect here?
It's a frustrating problem.
That photo is relatively recent (2006), and it's quite likely that that bike rack is not very old. It appears to be on the grounds of a hotel estate where locking would be unnecessary and a rural aesthetic is key.
Unrelated fun idea for hardware engineers: develop a GPU that outputs average image brightness before each scanout. This allows the monitor (or GPU itself, though you'd suffer quantization issues) to slowly ramp during dark-to-bright transitions. Consumers would love the feature: people like to stare at devices in dark rooms (bed etc) but melt their eyeballs every time they navigate from a dark page to a light one. This would prevent that pain.
The latter link provides some sources, but not much experimental evidence.
