Well, was mostly making a joke but would be pretty cool. I’ll bet there’s some way I could figure out how to use the waste heat to offset the water heater or something.

Hmm, liquid cooled… now you have me thinking :).

With my growing homelab, I’m nearly self hosting this same sort of solution in my basement.

Sure, it’s available in several databases you can find on some very credible sites 🤣

I’m so used to having my personal info leaked. Sony, T-Mobile, Experian, LastPass, Comcast… what an incredible world we live in.

I agree, but what’s more, I am not trying to defend the behavior of Jobs here. But…to me anyway there is a material difference between say this, where the product did live up to the demo ultimately. In this case the demo was done on pre-release versions and so problems were expected and planned for.

Contrast this with say the cyber truck launch. Similar situation but 1. they failed to properly anticipate and plan for failure (broken window?) and 2. they made promises about wishes and desires, because the delivered product thus far does not live up to the promises.

The whole behavior is shitty to be sure, but I’d be ok going back to demos about planned yet achievable and deliverable features.

it was honestly my first thought when it all went down. Cryptobro CEO fired for not being sufficiently candid. I was sure a rugpull was on it’s way.

I mean, I get why people don’t like it but at the same time, no one forces you to buy one. I like Macs, I enjoy using OS X and would use it as my primary OS. I don’t because I don’t find the value proposition of their hardware worth it.

Their loss, they have a market, they just aren’t interested in it.

This dude makes good videos. I’m going not a motorcycle guy but I watch his content for stuff like this video. I was also impressed by the PFAS angle this one took.

At least I’ll finally get to win the argument with my dad about if climate change is real or not.

I say this as a rare person who prefers to work in office.

Good.

Seriously, would much rather work with productive happy people. the remote work phenomenon has proven that between reduced traffic, the commercial real estate bubble, the fact that we’re literally all connected to each other 24/7 through the series of tubes means it’s about time we restructure the workforce.

It’s the enshittification of the entire country.

Exactly, it’s just a phase of enshittification. Shortly after they close the platform down they will start ramping up the ads even more, maybe even embed them. Who knows how long it will take but it’s part of the death spiral we’ve seen many times. No idea if it’s become too big to fail though, either way, if I’m blocked it’s probably for the best regardless.

they also overestimate their importance to the same crowd. I mean, I use youtube a lot but as soon as I’m unable to without my adblocker in place, I’m done with the site. Already cut out several other sites that have done similar things; YouTube is big, but it’s not the only time waster in town.

Headline reads like a punchline.

The way I see it is that anyone can put up an ad wherever they want but in my own space I’m allowed to do whatever I like to block it out. Feel free to show them to me but my eyes so I decide what to look at with them, and the tools that modern systems have are the same as the cardboard I put on my window when I was young to block out the gas station lights across the street.

If they tell me I’m no longer allowed to look out the window without being blinded by neon, there’s a 100% chance I’ll move.

Do you remember the early days of social media? IMHO, as the new hotness I’ve seen a rapid pace of improvements that I honestly expect to ramp up further as more utilization comes. Pure speculation but I’m basing it on my grey beard and the refreshing experience I’m having here.

Mine was a joke about that being their former corporate motto. Yours works just as well though :)
