The interface of the id4 was known to you prior to purchase and the Chevy bolt existed…
We needed a third electric car and instead of buying a second audi etron we bought a second Chevy bolt for 1/4 the price solely based on the interface and controls.
I beg to differ. Tiling window managers like ion, ratpoison, dwm, et. al, and the simple and elegant tooling that accompany them are a wonderful example of UI innovation.
UI/UX designers who copy, and iterate on, infantile eye candy have only themselves to blame.
Agreed - and I find the same thing.
Distilling these processes to terminal commands has the highest potential for usability and efficiency gains.
This seems very odd ... a quick one-liner install process is by far the simplest and most efficient way to install a piece of software ...
What other fragility and unnecessary complexity comes along with graphical installation tools ?
Is this a pain point for non-technical users you might prepare this system for ? Who do you have in mind when you specify this ?
These are not implementation errors or miscommunication between different business units.
What you are witnessing is an intentional setting of a revenue dial to the maximum allowable setting that still permits the original sale.
You are not required to carry ID when transiting an airport for domestic flights.
It will be difficult and annoying but you can fly domestically without ID.

US and USD need not be involved - EU does this on it's own without any pressure:

"As a result Baud will not be allowed to travel within EU countries and his assets in the Euro zone will be frozen."
His assertions are not particularly extreme and, without question, fall into the realm of protected, free speech.
This is orthogonal to whether you or I agree with what he is saying. Finding his views "dangerous" is an admission of profound weakness.

I haven't seen this on HN in a while so it is worth reposting:
Asking for a friend…
I can't speak to, nor do I have any interest in, legally pursuing this random vendor.
The op implied, correctly I assume, that the Abbott terms are "toxic".
I am simply restating, as I very commonly do, that this vendor is not a government agency. They are not the IRS. They are not law enforcement. They are an adversarial party until proven otherwise and you owe them nothing.
I'm simply trying to reiterate - as often as possible: you do not need to tie your personal identity to products and services like this.
Merry Christmas!
There's nothing to demonstrate. We will have no interactions.
The op implied (probably correctly) that their ToS is toxic. I am pointing out that there is no reason for you to enter into that ToS.
Are you suggesting that I, an anonymous piggyback user of their service, would blow up my anonymity (and all of the protections and peace of mind that it affords) by attempting to reestablish some form of legal contact ?
No. It's easy come, easy go and that's just fine with me.
Yeah ?
Who agreed to that ToS ? Abby McAbbott ? With no phone number ? A throwaway email address ?
As I said: I have not entered into any agreements of any kind with Abbott. You should not either.
I (a non-diabetic interested in athletic performance) use an Abbott CGM sporadically and I have absolutely not agreed to any terms of service nor any other agreement of any kind - legal or otherwise.
I bought a purpose-specific, old model iphone from "Back Market" with no SIM card, very briefly allowed it wifi access long enough to download the "Lingo" app, then set the phone to airplane mode. Dedicated, throwaway email and AppleID.
It has never left airplane mode and it works perfectly. Pairing subsequent sensors does not require taking it out of airplane mode.
Further, I have no legal relationship nor have I made any agreement of any kind with Abbott.
I highly recommend that any user of these devices do the same.
Would you elaborate ?
I believe there are a few all-metal laptops competing in the marketplace but was unaware they were actually better than the apple laptops ... what all aluminum laptops are better and how are they better ?
That being said ...
We got a lot of mileage - many good years of use from male and female children - out of "Snap Circuits":
A very, very cool building ecosystem with easy to build and understand recipes - we built a working FM radio, for instance. Not at all fussy or fragile.
My children are not particularly "STEMy" but they all enjoyed breaking out the "circuit kit".
The only time we ever interface with apple is to install a new app on the AppleTV and that is very rare.
The appletv is not connected to any other apple products or services.
Specifically:
If a flock (or similar) camera is deployed on public land/infra there should exist default permission for any alternate vendor to deploy a camera in the same location.
I wonder how that could be used and/or abused and, further, what the response from a company like flock would be ...
... which is the expected, default use-case for a playground ...
OK, now I remember - it was this comment:

Would you please elaborate[1]:
- who was the person who ran crimeflare, etc.
- Where can I learn about the lawsuit(s) that made them suspend this reporting/indexing ?
I am (potentially) interested in resurrecting these efforts but would like to have a better understanding of them first.

"(proton fraud detectors) are looking for certain patterns in use. And they collect clues on the dark web. For example, if you find Proton mail addresses in criminal Internet forums, the accounts behind them will be blocked."[1]
I've never participated on a "dark web" or .onion forum but I could imagine doing so for a variety of reasons ... are there not very interesting discussions occurring there ?
I would be classified as a criminal for being part of that discussion ?
Should I be retroactively classified as such for my discussions on cypherpunks in the nineties ?

- Why is the tooling so lame ?
- What do they, themselves, use internally ?
Stringing together mac minis (or a "Studio", whatever) with thunderbolt cables ... Christ.

... which is quite simple and cheap ... and can be used in place of SMS 2FA.
The fact that these tokens exist and are so simple to deploy and use really deflates any claim (by banks) that banking and/or auth apps are required. It causes one to consider what the real motivation is behind the bank desperately pushing customers away from the simple and adequate web service towards the apps.
Web based online banking (since nothing related to banking requires 3D or VR/AR or camera/mic access or other fancy things that apps do) and 2FA auth. That is all I have ever seen or used.
Further: the three apps I install are not crucial - I could live just fine without them. All I really need is Safari and a working POTS endpoint for my cloud-hosted phone number ...
