zchrykng··on The Hackintosh Reborn
They have to prove that the changes you made is what caused the failure. If they can't and/or the changes are unrelated to the warranty claim, they have to honor it.
zchrykng··on Passkeys are not a trap
Depends on how you look at it I guess.

My workplace doesn't offer this, but I like the idea of how 1Password does it. If your workplace has a business account with 1Password, each of the business users gets a personal account for free. If you change jobs you can pay for your own account, but it isn't tied to the company account other than getting it for free with the corporate account.

The other person's iCloud backup I assume.

Avanced Data Security keeps your copy in iCloud safe, but doesn't help with the people you are messaging's copy.

Caddy is great, but doesn't solve the problem I was talking about on its own.

Caddy will get SSL certs automatically if it is exposed to the internet and DNS for that domain points to it, but if you are routing over tailscale exclusively Caddy can't automatically validate the domain names over ACME. There is a Caddy extension for doing DNS based validation, but that puts you back to needing a DNS provider with an API.

I mean, I have a lifetime license for Plex, but even I would happily pay some nominal amount every year if Plex stopped making their software worse intentionally.

You do need a DNS service with API access for automatically creating/renewing the certificates for things that are only served over tailscale though, since they aren't publicly accessible for the letsencrypt servers to talk to.

If you don't proxy or tunnel the connection, it isn't an issue. I assume they are using Tailscale for the actual connection.
zchrykng··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
The GP believes that countries deporting people and/or enforce immigration law is "ethnic cleansing"
zchrykng··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
Scalping is not a serious risk with digital goods. When the company can sell an infinite number of licenses, there is zero risk of a third party coming in and buying up a significant fraction of the capacity and overcharging people.
zchrykng··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
Only if you have cold to retain...

Just get the crypto bros involved. Track the license using blockchain. Should allow transferal of the license without allowing endless duplication.
zchrykng··on For first time, a cell built from scratch grows and divides
It is a common phrase and has been for a very long time though has increased over the last 6 years or so.

zchrykng··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
So, the exactly same as the USA then.
zchrykng··on The 'papers, please' era of the internet will decimate your privacy
They very much aren't good enough yet. I'm a highly technical user and have had to move to using MDM tools to actually have something that works reliably.
zchrykng··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Dodged that bullet. Heard Tim Cook's comments and decided to pull the trigger on the machine I was debating as I didn't think Gruber was right on them waiting until new models to change prices.
zchrykng··on Google workspace threatening to block Firefox access
Not really a serious argument when you are accessing a Google product. Sure, don't want to interact with Google? Don't interact with Google, but logging into Google workspaces with Firefox definitely isn't protecting your data from Google.
zchrykng··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
Mail.app's search is completely and utterly broken in my experience on Macs and on iPhones.

I've heard good things about it, for sure, but I'd argue that it isn't really an Email client. It is a Gmail client as it doesn't work with anything else. Fastmail is in the same bucket, but it is part of my contention about there not being good Email apps generally.
zchrykng··on Swiss parliament lifts ban on new nuclear power plants
It hasn't made a significant contribution because of panic after the various accidents and the "environmentalists" deciding to advocate against it when it was the clearest path to accomplishing their stated goals.
zchrykng··on Swiss parliament lifts ban on new nuclear power plants
How much do those batteries cost and can they supply power for multiple days or a season if your renewable sources aren't providing like normal?

Not to mention the environmental damage from producing and disposing of batteries.

zchrykng··on Microsoft new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly
Got an example of a well-implemented natice app for email? I'm bugged by some bugs with the Fastmail app, but have generally had a better experience with it than any other client I've tried. Search in particular is far better on the Fastmail app.
zchrykng··on Show HN: Homebrew 6.0.0
I like mise a lot, but only use it for project specific tool management, JDK versions, etc.

I tried to use it for system wide things, but found it didn't work as well for me with things that I wanted to just be tools where I didn't care what specific version it was as long as it was more or less current, Helix, NeoVim, RipGrep, etc.

Not American as much as it is "corporatese".
zchrykng··on I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling
... I'm not sure what part of "If you extend that logic to the world" you didn't understand.
zchrykng··on I'm skeptical about efforts to revolutionize schooling
If you extend that logic to the world, is it malpractice to teach anything before Mandarin or Hindi?
zchrykng··on Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
Not actually science until you can test it.
zchrykng··on Entanglement Builds Space-Time. Now "Magic" Gives It Gravity
I mean, I don't think we are living in a simulation, but even if we were, there is no reason to believe that simulating something inside of a simulation is going to prove anything about the outer simulation.
zchrykng··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
I think we have different definitions of "emergency" if a text message that they may or may not see any time soon is an acceptable solution.

If it is an actual emergency, I need to know that they have received the communication in real time. I'm never leaving someone a voicemail in an emergency situation.

Sure, let me know when any of these imaginary physics is useful for predicting anything that can be observed.
