Yea it’s a fuckin wild story. The man hired a bunch of guys off the street to pack them up into the trailers as he crawled u see the floors to start unplugging shit. It cause havoc to a bunch of software that specifically called to the data center that the Lego master so skillfully dismantled in the dead of night and has had knock on effects since that moment. In addition, a ton of highly sensitive data was on those servers that was supposed to have significant security measures taken to protect, which the man directly ignored saying that a padlock on the trailer was enough.

And what does it actually mean?

I think Apple knows its customers really well, and caters to them in a way that winds up feeling exclusionary to a lot of folks that have a hard preference for Android for mobile, or Linux or Windows for PC. Apple builds products and makes designs that meet the needs and wants of the people that use their products, and they do it very well. What an enthusiast might gripe about is a convenience for many others.

I think of it like features in a car, like traction control. Max Verstappen might prefer no traction control because he can control the car better without it, but Becky down the street doesn’t have that skill so having the feature on automatically is the better design, because there’s only one Max but thousands of Beckys. Max has the alternative of going out and buying a race car or sports car that meets his needs, but it doesn’t really make sense for him to bitch about how much Becky’s car sucks because it automatically turns on traction control.

WiFi is automatically on, and only paused from control center, because it’s a better experience for most of Apple’s users. Almost all use-cases are that the user wants to turn WiFi off temporarily, but having it turn fully off makes it so that it’s more likely for the user to forget to turn it back on and burn their mobile data. Most of us have had that experience. But, since Apple rolled out that feature, it hasn’t happened to me, which I see as a better user experience. I understand that’s not what many others want, and that’s fine. It just tells me iOS isn’t for them.

Reminds me of the original 3.5” iPhone. Absolutely tiny by todays standards.

Just because it’s marketed as a meat thermometer doesn’t mean it doesn’t have other excellent uses. I use mine for everything from meat to making sure my tap water is the exact right temp for aquarium water changes.

I’ve come to appreciate the cold water.

It’s funny how my mom has no issue at all with everything they load her up with for her cancer, but vaccines? That’s a bridge too far.

Nope.

But I got lucky with a really chill cat. Like, ‘doesn’t mind having his claws trimmed’ chill.

I prefer open, but I got a cat a few months ago that won’t leave me alone if I leave it open. So, closed.

I can’t decide if I prefer this (my stove is this way) or bumping the knobs with my hips.

Has to do with the fact that several burners have multiple sizes that can be used. My stove is the same way, and there’s really not a much better way to do it imo, short of a touch screen, which I don’t want on a stove.

If manufacturers are to be believed, the only thing that our devices are always listening for is the trigger word. iPhones have a dedicated piece of hardware or circuit or smth that listens only for ‘hey siri’ and it doesn’t start keeping record until it’s heard that. After which it sends what you say to the cloud to understand what you said.

Well, no need to change it up if you love it! I’m a roasted veggies person myself, but I don’t begrudge anyone their preferences.

Do you have an air fryer? It roasts veggies really well too, and fast.

More than that for me.

Sorry, yea, I had that context in my head when I posted my comment 😅

The cases are widely distributed throughout the country, with 20 of the country’s 24 governmental regions (departments) reporting at least one case. Seven departments have reported high numbers—including Lima, at the central coast, to Piura and Lambayeque in the far north, and Cusco, which is southeast of Lima. But no other countries in the Americas report an uptick in GBS cases.

The cause of the outbreak is puzzling—even though this isn’t Peru’s first alarming GBS outbreak. In 2019, the country reported an unprecedented surge of nearly 700 cases between May and July, bringing the total to over 900. Before that, a large GBS outbreak was considered between 30 to 50 cases.

Seems like this might be a sanitation issue? Especially if it’s a repeating issue like they describe.

you know elon is gonna post an Invincible meme about this

while you’re not wrong, it’s not relevant in this case.
