Yes, you grant the entity you've submitted a contribution to, to use (not own) your contribution in whatever it ends up in. That was the whole point of the developer's contribution right?

The CLA does not change the copyright owner of the contributed content (https://zed.dev/cla), so I'm confused by the project's comments on copyright reassignment.

Adding a security policy to an unrelated repository is easily missed and questionably applicable.

The security policy that didn't exist until a few hours ago?

Yep, same here. I've closed accounts folks opened with my email address, sent replies to humans confused why I haven't shown up to an appointment, etc. I just can't stop the flow of emails from these folks using my email address for seemingly legitimate business.

Google doesn't offer anything in the way of migration or consolidation of various email-linked data (e.g., store purchases) so I just let mail accumulate and delete everything manually once every few months.

The simpler version is that Microsoft Authenticator--a mobile app that provides 2FA--is discontinuing its password autofill feature and the passwords stored/used with that will be wiped in August unless action is taken, as has been communicated for a while now.

I also recall if you swear at it quite a few times he'd start spewing numbers everywhere as part of fake fault sequence. Used to crack me up.

The GAO wrote a report on fraud, waste, and abuse potential of Energy Star in 2010. They were able to get a gas-powered alarm clock (and 14 other fake products) marked as Energy Star compliant. Worth a read/laugh.

Windows recently had [Compress to postcode] in its context menu for en-GB users.

Yep, I stopped using Samsung products not too long ago.

Reminds me of the time when a Samsung VP (or whatever his title was) showed up at a Microsoft Build conference to promote their TVs and the shiny new Tizen .NET Framework that shipped inbox. I asked if they planned to backport it to last year’s model—which I had just purchased—so we could test with and target existing TVs in the market. He looked me straight in the eye and, with a smarmy grin, said (paraphrasing), 'No, we want consumers to buy new TVs.' I walked away disgusted and abandoned any idea of targeting that platform.

Similarly, I vaguely recall a Samsung event that had leadership--CEO?--flat out say they wanted consumers to buy new TVs every year or so. I couldn't immediately find the quote though.

If you were still confused like I was, here's a photo of the map on-site (best photo I could find):

Very cool and a great speaker. Forgive my naivete but would enclosing the back with a short-throw projector reintroduce the LCD light bleed he fought hard to eliminate? I wonder how you would address that. I suspect painting the interior Ventablack wouldn't be enough.

It appears Microsoft released their 'detailed announcement' - it's just a one-sentence fragment in a Markdown file: https://github.com/microsoft/vsmarketplace/blob/main/Removed...

I'm increasingly suspecting there was nothing actually wrong with the extension, and Theo and others may have simply demolished an open-source developer's reputation primarily because they found him difficult to collaborate with.

This is nuts.

On Windows 11, open the Microsoft Store app and select the Entertainment section, (confusingly) marked by a clapperboard icon. You'll notice an unfortunate design choice where the text labels disappear upon clicking, making navigation (or remembering where you are) less intuitive. I've raised this as a usability issue multiple times with the development team and they don't seem to agree or care. It drives me up the wall.

My wife and I are working through this book, and while I see its value and plan to finish it, I've found it (thus far) a bit underwhelming. It feels like a collection of Jupyter notebooks stitched together with a loosely edited narrative. Concepts are sometimes introduced without explanation, instructions lack context, and the growing errata list on Manning's website makes me question if I'm absorbing the right information.

Seems like a good tool for ensuring everyone is aligned.

Nit: The policy document seems inconsistent in its authoritative tone. In some sections, it hand-waves and punts to an external resource. For example: "Yes, there are key kernel maintainers who support Rust in the kernel. [Check out this PDF of keynote slides and figure it out yourself]."

NVIDIA GPUs still require "dummy" HDMI plugs. They won't be fully usable without something plugged in; it's not clear why.

Tangentially related, previous releases of the game were also hit by a DirectInput device enumeration regression that Microsoft (behind the scenes) refused to fix. (I haven't checked the latest re-release.)

With Rust's support for inline assembly, I suspect this could quickly devolve into a competition to create the most optimized assembly code specifically tailored to the runner platform. Perhaps next year, the contest could exclude inline assembly to better identify bottlenecks in the standard library.

I was also curious about how a popular beaver [1] was raised by humans and "instinctively" knew how to build dams.

Tangent; you reminded me about the Robitussin liquid (Dextromethorphan) in my pantry. It prescribes 20 mL doses but the bottle contains 118 mL total. Really grinds my gears this is legal.

iOS 18.1 has a release note about fixing unexpected restarts on iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models.

Loved the game (superb voice acting by Daisy May), reading the book now. The studio also sells a sweet snow globe, highly recommend! https://store.11bitstudios.com/product/snow-globe-the-invinc...

I saw "over-engineering" in the title and half expected to see Wi-Fi signals being abused to detect human bodies in the room.

Am curious about the stickers. If the company gives you hassle for in-warranty repairs after opening the case, please let the FTC know. (Microsoft and others were warned about this previously.)

> By agreeing to the settlement, [...] David W. Plummer, of Redmond, admit multiple violations of the state Consumer Protection Act. [...]

Not sure what release he's referring to (NTSUR isn't the name of a release). But I find it interesting he decides to only do his homework after the video/discussion.

Am very aware how Microsoft works, been involved with them my entire life, wrote a few books, etc! I agree with you though. That's why I don't record YouTube videos asserting what happened 25 years ago.
