Personally I’ve changed to leveraging social media to pursue my work and some specific interests. No friends or family.

HN for stay current in my industry.

A very curated Twitter via a third party client for following specific tech creators.

No FB, IG or Reddit. No keeping up with the Jones’s or lusting after others lives.

If I want to talk to someone I make a habit of doing it regularly. I text friends and family at least once a week just to say hi. I attempt to maintain my relationships actively instead of the passive “likes” you can send through social media.

PLEX’s is based on FFMpeg.

Of all things to be concerned about I wouldn’t consider a media transcoder to be one of them.

This is what happens when the franchisee's are in what I will refer to as a "predatory" relationship. I've been involved with several Quick Service(Fast Food) Franchisee's in the USA and there's predatory relationships and then there's those where the franchisee's have some type of union or owners organization.

In McDonald's the Franchisee's have several different organizations they can join to represent themselves and bring grievances to to corporation. Cost of product is almost always a focus and you'd never be in a situation where you could buy product for cheaper anywhere else due to their scale. It's all about who has the leverage in the situation. I will say that reading that 7-11 offered to buy back all product is a very gracious move on their part. They had no incentive to help him out of the situation he no longer wanted to be in.

That whole shopping center is getting remodeled and the management has been arguing about renovating the space.

It's just a bunch of back and forth on who will pay for what, since they only lease half of that building. I have heard they are doing quite well.

No HTC? They don't have much left worth acquiring and their VR sales numbers are weak. I'd say they won't see 2021 for sure.

I read this and I'm not sure how to feel. This is the real world impact of devices that can actually impact our lives being internet accessible and with security that doesn't match.

That's not to say a simple password and email isn't secure enough, just that there's much bigger repercussions when your nest gets hacked as opposed to your GrubHub account.

I think this is the sign that the big T-Mobile "ride" is over. There won't be any big future "consumer friendly" practices. They're going to absorb Sprint and become just as awful as AT&T and Verizon.

I attempted to use this for a couple very simple projects and the conversion completely fell on it's face. I tried four projects and none of them successfully converted.

Have you found kompose to be a suitable replacement for compose? I’m trying to migrate my docker projects to k8s and I’m having a hell of a time.

Coming from someone who spent years in hospitality this is 100% the right answer. I’ve since moved onto technology gigs but it’s very common to prove yourself in a much lower tiered position and move on.

Start at McDonald’s, move to Panera and receive a nice Quality of life bump, then move onto something even more stable and rewarding like Trader Joe’s or Costco.

The other side of this is those that are very capable but very deficient in other areas, they started working at Waffle House since they don’t fit into normal society as one would think of it and happen to land there. Since the barrier to break into these jobs is nonexistent they do find a “home” and lack the ability to ever grow or move on, for better or worse.

I found it disappointing that the models supporting sidecar were a bit limited. My 2015 MacBook Air couldn’t do it, only 2016 and newer Air models.

I understand I’m usually spoiled when it comes to how long Apple provides software support, but disappointed none the less.

This seems like a large oversight given people usually decide to use the Pi for better documentation and support. The Pi 4 is being marketed as a "Real" desktop replacement option and I find it very surprising HEVC decoding documentation is this poor. So basically FFmpeg communicates with the HEVC hardware decoder via a bunch of rough code? Is this stable?

Also the "Firmware" package.

In the Kernel, if you're not running the very specific version of Ubuntu they compiled you still need a ton of custom packages from mesa-git and others. I think we're still a few months from stable on all packages and then further months from those packages making it into distros.

Seconded, I'm in the same boat. I realize attempting to wipe my data from all the various sources it may be in across the web is futile but I'd still like to try.

I can't imagine RCS getting the momentum to become a real viable platform. Even if it's integrated into Android phones and seamless from the users perspective the major carriers have no interest in putting forth the effort or making it a real thing. I suspect it will be a nice to have feature like "HD Calling" where calls have increased quality.

With Google lacking any real leadership in the Android division(See Wear OS) this problem won't be solved anytime soon. I recently switched from Android to iOS because I have faith in their ecosystem and vision. Sure it's a walled garden, but I'd rather have a nice walled garden that's tended to than a forest with no supervision, direction or purpose.

Thanks, this should really be the post. I didn’t find the Forbes article did anything but excessively quote the source material.
