I know it's hard for people to take the time to read the article when they could just be typing inaccurate responses.. but from the article:

> While this won’t affect the default browser setting in Windows, it’s yet another part of Microsoft 365 and Windows that totally ignores your default browser choice for links. Microsoft already does this with the Widgets system in Windows 11 and even the search experience, where you’ll be forced into Edge if you click a link even if you have another browser set as default.

The issue is that O365 is going to launch the link within the app (say Outlook) which is going to be running it on Edge, which lets them completely ignore whatever browser you would rather be using.

It's like every app on iOS that is shipping with a safari wrapper so it doesn't have to actually launch safari and give up its snooping abilities.

same. my local drop off is one day a month at the local prison which is ~25 minutes away. and commercial store that takes items for recycling is twice that distance.

i don't follow your argument on #2.

i also dont understand why we can't have legislation that says "you can only have a stove cooktop if its properly vented"..

In the winter, when i lose electricity, i can run my house on a small amount of power because i have natural gas heat, cooktop, clothes dryer, and two natural gas fireplaces. I'm not particularly interested in giving up that safety or luxury.

dont forget that Samsung followed that up with batteries that swelled while just sitting on a shelf as well.

wouldn't suppose you could tell me what it's for? I see someone saying that Twitter recreated it.. but that doesn't mean anything to me.. their website is so arrogant as to basically only offer a link to download the app.. because I should just.. "know" what they do?

on the other hand, a bullet isn't stopped by bullet proof fabric, it's stopped by what's behind it. If I take a 9mm round to the arm then my arm is breaking. That 600J is focused on a much smaller area than a heavyweight punch.

might be separate, non-interchangeable species (I don't know) but they require the same farmers, equipment, logistics, etc, to be in place and as everyone learned the last few years those things don't just scale up and down like latest cloud tech here.

Because we don't want to be responsible for raising our own children. We only want to be responsible for blaming others for ruining our children.

I think most Americans on here are concerned that if they're at home, and their neighbor has a carrier sponsored wifi hotspot, then their phone may prefer the neighbors hotspot to their own home network. Things like this could disrupt talking to local devices (airplay, homeassistant, etc).

they pissed it all away recently. they joined the league of evil printer makers.

but how many people are willing to participate based on false information or reputation due to the perpetual hype/marketing/lies he has thrown out with regards to something. The general public thinks he has solved self driving, after all it's coming next year (for the tenth consecutive year), meanwhile an industry report recently ranked Tesla dead last in likelihood to deliver when compared to nearly 20 other companies.

hot, dry air has a tendency to evaporate water.

It is a NoVA thing. The '07/08/09 recession had minimal impact on the DC area housing market compared to the rest of the country. It peaked and fell like the rest but the fall wasn't as bad and the recovery was far quicker. The federal government and its related commercial contractors are the main ingredient in that.

What market have they cornered? They're not even the number one messaging app on the continent that's imposing this rule.

There's is a near infinite number of competitors to iMessage. There's Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Viber, Kik, Skype, Whatever Google Makes that they'll kill in six months, WeChat, Snapchat, Lime, Telegram... and I'm sure a bunch of others I've never heard of but other people live and die by. Not mention SMS and MMS.

As a result, I don't understand why people are so mad at iMessage that they need it crippled. You're not forced to use it. Apple doesn't block other messaging applications.

Plus, this law in question is a great foot in the door. Wait until they start lowering the monetary valuation of companies to slowly encompass all major messaging apps. At which point they'll have leveraged themselves right into a position of ending E2EE forever.

> Both headlines give the most important part of the story: a US agency currently believes that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak.

seems to me you're still leaving out a very important part of the news, which is that the confidence level is "low".

so right now the US government has multiple theories, none of which it is confident. it's just that of the reports that is not confident in, it might be the least not confident in the lab leak idea.

but the WSJ has decided to throw integrity aside and ignore that part in their headline.

except the tech industry has been immune to layoffs because it would represent such bad PR to be the one company downsizing in the midst of a bull market. Fortunately for the tech industry, the market is now bearish and they're finally allowed to trim the fat that they've been accruing for over a decade, which is why when someone finally blinked first then the rest followed (and continue to follow).

why would I expect my phone to get that right on the first try and not verify it? how lazy have tech people gotten that they blindly trust terrible tech?

Well.. it does look like a paid placement.. she's a Notion Ambassador.. I have no idea what that means.. but if her domain is "notionthings" and she's preaching about Notion... I'm taking a lot of this with a grain of salt.

That said, the only reason I didn't adopt Notion for my social club (went with Confluence) is because Notion has a surprisingly small file storage for free accounts. Basically made it a non-starter for setting up something basic to try and convince my club to adopt.

I'm just playing devil's advocate here but - If you control the people that run the capital flight operation, then you control who can flight capital. That may be appealing to you if you're a high enough power and want to be able to move your capital but not let the peasants do it.

This is a big term in aviation, because in most cases in order for something catastrophic to happen it requires a lot of things to have failed. And one way to ensure that enough things fail is to start deviating from your maintenance, inspections, or general responsibilities. Related: the swiss cheese models.

linus tech tips?

isn't that what apple did/does?

In America we have half our income "stolen" from us as well. We just pretend it's not.

i dont get the impression that Valve will release an updated model for several more years

There isn't a 747 pilot on the planet making only $50/hr

It's usually the filed flight plan (for instrument flights)

Is it Bob Tillman? Because I'm absolutely rooting for him if he's still stuck in San Fran building purgatory.

but the end of the year for all of these companies was October, the end of the fiscal year. Yet companies are still doing it as we head into Q2 of 2023.

Not really. And for most commercial pilots this may come down to whether or not ForeFlight caches theirs or not. I'd actually be really curious to see unofficial commentary from ForeFlight developers about this because it's a pretty unique scenario in the age of electronic flight bags.
