I don’t think anyone should expect a battery replacement to be free after 10 years, but it shouldn’t cost $100,000

Yes and no. In the best case, endpoints have enough cached data to get us through that process. In the worst case, that’s still a considerably smaller footprint to fix by hand before the rest of the infrastructure can fix itself.

With enough _autism in your overlay configs, sure, but in my environment tat leakage is still encrypted. It’s far simpler to just accept leakage and encrypt the OS partition with a key that’s never stored anywhere. If it gets lost, you rebuild the system from pxe. (Which is fine, because it only takes about 20 minutes and no data we care about exists there) If it’s working correctly, the OS partition is still encrypted and protects any inadvertent data leakage from offline attacks.

Separate persistent data and operating system partitions, ensure that every local network has small pxe servers, vpned (wireguard, etc) to a cdn with your base OS deployment images, that validate images based on CA and checksum before delivering, and give every user the ability to pxe boot and redeploy the non-data partition.

Bitlocker keys for the OS partition are irrelevant because nothing of value is stored on the OS partition, and keys for the data partition can be stored and passed via AD after the redeploy. If someone somehow deploys an image that isn’t ours, it won’t have keys to the data partition because it won’t have a trust relationship with AD.

(This is actually what I do at work)

Same, I wonder if there would be any way to report it to the state AG, maybe some pressure to ban it could hit google

Probably 64gb chips that failed QC and had some registers disabled. Similar to how CPUs that fail QC have cores disabled and are sold as lower-tier skus

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one wondering that.

It is _slightly different, but in a way that’s worse.

AR uses a transparent overlay over reality perceived through a translucent surface, or at most a small subset of your vision is replaced. Think sunglasses with a screen you can see through, or a small corner of your vision is blocked by a tiny screen.

In Apple’s “spatial computing” cameras recreate and alter reality, nothing you see is with your own eyes because no part of the display is transparent.

It’s a fair analogy about the erosion of ownership

you know what? I like this argument. Software/Streaming services are “too complex and costly to work in practice” therefore my viewership/participation “could not exist” if I were forced to pay for them.

In most modern Linux distributions, you could preconfigure retroarch and whatever else first, then set the filesystem to read-only, while mounting an overlay filesystem on top that is discarded at reboot.

The idea would be no matter how hard he breaks it, he shouldn’t have Root’s password and therefore cannot disable overlayfs

Look for the overlayroot package in whatever Linux distro you’re most comfortable with.

I don’t think it’s so much about thickness, but being super thin presumably means it requires less of a manufacturing process and also less raw materials. Could bring costs down on panels and make them more financially viable for projects.

Yeah but can it run signed drm in a way that the owner of the computer can’t read the keys? Checkmate atheists.

1. Can’t turn off album art or colorized elements changing bright colors while driving. (I just want simple buttons to press to change tracks or pause music without distracting album art). This one is legitimately dangerous

1a. The last straw for me was when they deprecated car mode entirely and insisted on even more flashy moving elements in the standard player. It became a safety hazard to use.

2. Can’t combine your own music with cloud music anymore (when Spotify started, you could combine their libraries with your own music if you had something that they didn’t)

3. No normalization adjustments for songs that are too loud or too quiet

4. No per-device (or at all iirc?) Equalization

5. Periodic check-in required every (30d last time I used the service) for offline content, meaning if you download stuff to your laptop, don’t touch it for a month, and then go on a plane you don’t have access to your music.

6. Constant background app openings. App opens itself constantly to track your location, and broadcast to other devices whether or not you’re playing music. Integrated with lots of ad/tracker networks

7. Quality is terrible. I dunno what it is because apparently I’m not even one of the people that can tell the difference between 128 and 256, but the same song in Plexamp at 320 vs Spotify whatever is night and day, especially on bad car speakers.

I haven’t used the service in years and that’s just off the top of my head why Spotify is terrible.

Or you know, if it’s impossible to strip out individual data, and it’s too expensive to retain/retrain models with data removed… Why is everyone overlooking “just don’t process private data, and only use public data in model training”?

There are some good ones out there. Where I work, they believe me to be irreplaceable. The truth is that I’m sure there are thousands of competent engineers that could replace me, just not for my salary, and certainly not also willing to move to a small town. They don’t want to pay full market rate for what I do, but they convince me to stay on by letting me work my own hours, full-remote, great vacation and benefits, etc. Ive been so productive since leaving office work that the entire organization now has remote work policies.

They’ve figured out that it’s cheaper to just make your employees not hate their lives and I’m absolutely here for it.

what a chad

I agree it’s much more complicated an issue than most people give it credit.

I don’t see why a single human should be able to profit off learning from others but a group of humans doing it for a company cannot. This is just how humanity advances at whatever scale.
