Knowing the Tesla owner community quite well, I suspect Tesla was hoping nobody would find out it’s a dummy and complain that the newer cars are inferior to the older ones (like they did with the radar and ultrasonic sensors)

I'm intrigued by the referenced article's rallying cry > It’s time to create a new operational standard. What does that look like? I do find agile to be tiresome and overbearing at times, but its operational model seems to make

For loads of tabs it does. For docker or VMs maybe not. Requiring a large amount of fully allocated RAM, like 8G+ seems like a deficiency in the software/dev environment, and definitely an edge case. In my whole career I've not ne

Am I crazy? The author writes > It's not as insane of a downgrade as it sounds. And then goes on to describe assembling a Frankenstein laptop that has specs and ergonomics that pale in comparison to the MacBook's. This sounds l

This should work if you enable ARC (must be enabled on Apple TV settings, and on your HDMI switching device. You also need to use an ARC compatible HDMI cable and to be using the ARC port on your "switching" device, since often th

I F'in LOVE the OG HomePods. The sound quality absolutely slaps for the money/size/convenience. I've got one for music in the kitchen and it fills the room like a setup 3x as large. The bass response even at low volumes

This is a great case for using iCloud “hide my email.” Curiously, I tried using it with “sign in with Apple” on slack and slack rejected it as a “hidden email.” I was able to circumvent that by using the regular sign in flow with a pre-gene

This is the point of the original post isn't it? An old/cheap DSLR will not beat an iPhone in most scenarios. I found that to be true, although I did expect the old camera to beat the iPhone due to "physics". It seems th

I broke out my Sony a6000 and 35mm f1.8 prime at a new years party. I don't use it much anymore but it had always excelled above my phone in low light "party shots". The next morning I imported them and flipped through commin

This is cool and welcome. A golf-pencil sized Apple Pencil for iPhone would be pretty awesome. I'd love to see Apple take on google docs, but pages and numbers seem far behind. Notes is getting insanely powerful, but collaboration is s

In my dysfunctional organization we spend half of every quarter planning OKRs for the next. First we have to collect all of the O's from top down and adjacent team blockers. Then we have to craft measurable KRs. Engineers are usually i

Seems like it's the default that employees have privileged access like this unless it is explicitly designed out of the system. It's hard to do that even in domains much simpler than a cloud.

My company used Rackspace back in 2013. It was my first gig where I was "managing servers" and "deploying to production". The rest of the team was as inexperienced as I was. We paid extra for the support services that en

It’s really straightforward. Platform owners make investments in supporting development on their platform. Xcode? Metal? Would there even be any apps, developers, or users on iOS if they didn’t make this investment? Tolls and taxes bother m

Yes. I've also grown tired of it. I used to spend nights and weekends learning, testing out new languages, starting (never finishing) side projects. I'd often work on actual work items after hours out of excitement, and it would e

I've had a few situations skiing at resorts where I was just a bit off-piste and found myself struggling through waist-deep powder. In the dense trees and snow it can be very difficult to see and hear even a small distance away. Add an

Apple is building up a nice portfolio of life-saving features. Currently we have fall detection, a-fib detection, crash detection, satellite communication. These are all solid value-adds and differentiators from the competition. I'm no

The idea, and economics, of converting office space to housing is fascinating to me. Once you think about it for more than a moment you realize there are some major difficulties. A modern office high rise, for example, may have windows only

I am conflicted on the definition of a ponzi. It seems to me that there are ponzi dynamics at play but sometimes the intent that makes it a "scheme", ala Bernie Madoff, with ringleaders is not always there. In this case there is M

USB-C is inferior from the hardware/form standpoint. It's a larger, more fragile and flimsy connector (than lightning) which is very un-apple. It can be crimped shut if rolled on by a chair. Additionally the charging standards are
