I’m also puzzled by the Instant On divestiture. In the original filing and press release the DOJ does call out SMB, even though most of the discussion is about enterprise markets: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/jus

Aruba Networks (acquired by HP in 2015, right before HP split into HP/HPE) has approximately 5% of the market for switching outside of the datacenter segment. They aren't a big player in the DC, you're right about that. Googl

> Google's non-AI efficiency is not much better than Amazon or anyone else. I don't think this is true. Google has long been a leader in efficiency. Look at the power usage effectiveness (PUE). A decade ago Google announced ave

I'm using Kagi as my default, falling back to Google (typically via '!g' in Kagi) for some technical queries. I use ChatGPT 4o several times a day, but typically not as a 1:1 replacement for web search.

In the last paragraph you describe the overwhelming majority of humanity, seemingly without any sense of irony. What outcome do you expect here?

My guess after reading the same -- the bot traffic comes in bursts and targets a specific commit hash for a while. Users are unlikely to need that specific commit, and even less likely to need it at the same time a bot is bursting requests

Parent didn't say anything about complete protection? An LLC does offer some level of protection, albeit mostly liability protection (as implied by the name, Limited Liability Company), and in this case I would be more worried about th

iPhones, Pixels, and Samsung phones have been defaulting to HEIC for around five years now, so it’s unlikely that compression alone would prevent tracking dots or other unique noise or patterns from being preserved. Steganography is a well-

Holy shit though, who thought this email (or Slack message or whatever) in the middle of an ongoing disaster was a good idea? This is the equivalent of asking you to make sure you file your TPS report. Honestly why do they give a shit about

Google used to watermark internal emails using non-visible Unicode. It would catch people copy-pasting things to the press. (This was circa 2010; I don't know if they still do it.) Printers and copiers have hidden "tracking dots&q

Someone provided the solution in another comment. After pinning the extension, click on it and deselect the "enabled" option (the line with the purple X). This will kill the floating orb UI but you can still click on the extension

But... don't you want people to use it? You seem passionate about it otherwise. I'll admit, I almost didn't click past the animation either. I did, and the doc quickly answered "what is it?", but why not just put th

Given the current political climate, this is incredibly unlikely. Reference the situation with TikTok and the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act" which became US law earlier this year.

Probably not news to you, but those are completely different departments within the company with opposing goals.

That still sucks and is prohibitive for indie developers. As the post mentions, in reality this program adds very little value for any of the involved parties.

Let us know if you're actually using it in a week or so. (I tried it a couple of times in the beta. It is slow. It is clunky. It is an impractical way to interact with your iPhone.)

How do you upload content to R2? Someone else mentioned Dropshare, but it is iOS/macOS only. I need a cross-platform solution.

Unusable in what way? I don't personally find the macOS app to be "unusable" at all. Also, you may be underestimating how buggy Swift and the rest of Apple's stack are. It's hard to get those bugs resolved unless yo
