I’m still using 9 year old hue bulbs, none have failed. The hub finally did, or rather the bricked it with an update and then trying to fix it lost all my config this year so I switched to home assistant finally

Couldn’t be happier and my nearly decade old hue bulbs will continue to work

Iirc they explicitly say don’t / recommend against it. I mean I still did but it definitely isn’t the way most people will install it at all

You can also be put in jail for contempt until you cough up your bitcoins

If those in power want something, they tend to get it

That’s always been my disappointment with streaming, unlike music we’re most things are on most services movies and shows you often cannot find on anyone them let alone even buy physical copies anymore

Torrent galaxy, limetorrents, 1337, eztv

There err also private trackers file list and iptorrents are not hard to get into i hear

Might be all bad but even from your own link some are more bad then others:

"Tesla is only the second product we have ever reviewed to receive all of our privacy “dings.” (The first was an AI chatbot we reviewed earlier this year.) What set them apart was earning the “untrustworthy AI” ding. The brand’s AI-powered autopilot was reportedly involved in 17 deaths and 736 crashes and is currently the subject of multiple government investigations."

added sugar IS unhealthy. Too much nature sugar IS unhealthy. acting like its not is silly.

You are supposed to but there was a story about it working in a canyon after a car crash 400ft down (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/07/24/iphone-14-saves-man-at-...) saved his life and I’ve shared location and just tossed it down on a picnic table in a forest and it eventually sent.

It definitely makes it connect faster (a min or two) vs the 10-20 it can take when you don’t

I’m impressed and it’s nice to have that additional level of safety

The thing about addiction and the way pure sugar acts on some people is they cannot moderate- especially when the addiction is formed at a young age

People who start smoking before their 20s have a much MUCH harder time quitting.

It is likely far more automated requiring fewer people then butchering

type and how you consume sugar matters. HFCS is really really bad for you or consuming sugars in fruits with fiber lowers the insulin spike and absorption rate.

So I’m sorry but some sugary foods ARE inherently bad and sugary cereals are one of them and that’s not even getting into the addiction side of it and how marketing them to kids sets many up for obesity and chronic diseases

Btw you can also be “skinny fat” from sugars

companies behaving badly is bad for society as a whole, so allowing the "owners" ie shareholders to make a quick short term buck at the cost of employees or a local factory that supports the town because "it doesn't make ENOUGH" money chips away at society and drags down the country all so a couple people can make a quick buck destroying 1000s or 10,000s of lives and/or entire towns.

putting financial success for the shareholders above all is the reason for so many things wrong right now,

I still find it easier to get someone real, and returns rarely require someone real, then most other companies.

That’s such an odd thing to hood on too, one ids socks, two you could have just returned it.

Discord is worse then GitHub issues by far

Electricity seems to generally be expensive where the “free market” has enabled private companies to extract wealth, and then reasonable/cheap and reliable where a Goverment entity provides it. I love my 9c cad Goverment power (and that is after the last right leaning government saddled it with 20 billion in additional costs going straight to private companies)

That is literally forcing edge on people.. it is ignoring their choice, and forcing them to use edge or change the desired browsers.

It is not forcing them to use it (mostly) but it is forcing edge on them in a dark pattern which needs to be called out.

You can opt out of going to places where a top is expected.

I switched to airvpn and have been happy

I imagine the next step is to allow texting like an inreach, then maybe other services like weather.

I am always annoyed by how hard I have to work to buy things that last/won’t need replacing because they break

I think you are grossly underestimating the number of apps that no longer see regular updates/have active developers

You seem to be forgetting that every app in the App Store would need to be rebuilt.. and developers would need to buy in and do so

this is addressed in the article, and even if you halve the deaths from gunshot its an incredibly high and concerning number.

the os isn't the hard part, its the app ecosystem and navigating how do you ensure they all run properly on x86, and not with a huge performance or battery hit. i would be rosetta2 in reverse, and as great as rosetta2 is it has limitations & does come at a cost.

sharing the cpu arch makes things easy, case in point at launch m1 ran ios apps.

different cpu architects - surface book is still just x86 under the hood.

ios is arm, macbooks were x86, now is arm. thats why. it is impressive what rosetta 2 does, but it still impacts a significant performance and battery hiut

Now why they didn't make a touch macbook/detachable screen with osx is another question, and likely because there isnt the demand. i was just addressing why you couldn't just smush ios and osx together/run both on the same device

Are you in the USA? I think it’s very country specific

You are just speculating - having a 2 in 1 device is not as easy as “osx on an iPad” or “iOS on a Mac”

Until the m1 is was 100% not possible, now that they are both arm it’s possible but still would require an entirely new device class to do it justice
