The box certainly resists crushing, although it is also, presumably, designed to resist crushing to protect its contents. The current Apple packaging is 100% recyclable though. There is no plastic. The box is closed with adhesive paper tabs

I agree almost completely, though I don’t know whether a humanoid robot is it or not. Maybe the car is a car. But I’m thinking “car” could be something we might find hard to imagine.

To paraphrase, a study found that EVs are clearly cheaper to own for the kind of driving most people do and the kind of EVs most people have. A vehicle with low energy efficiency per unit weight, like an SUV, costs about the same regardless

The article addresses the big miscalculation by the telecoms, as I see it, though somewhat obliquely. In the telecom world, the telecom was the network. If you wanted to exchange data with someone, you placed a call to someone directly. Eve

Interesting perspective. Through the author's lens, I would have to agree — if growth is the chief measure of a company's health and the main driver of decision-making, and if you're there for stock options, then yes, it&#x27

I fully agree. We do too much to keep people who are already safe from feeling slightly awkward or experiencing minor psychological discomfort. We should do what we can to make life easier for everyone. If that makes a majority of people aw

This comment made me realize the historical term in the headline actually, for once, refers to the term’s historical namesake, unlike “VHS” and “Datasette” of late “VAX” referring to VAX. Not to be taken for granted!

Thanks for reading, considering, and replying. I appreciate it. Happy new year!

I dunno, I'm not sure any of these rebuttals move me. I'm going to indulge in a reply against my better judgment. How much iMessage is used relative to other services depends on who you ask, I guess, but nobody seems to think it&#

Nobody is clamoring for interoperability between any of the other messaging apps. The precedent I’m watching for isn’t airport lounges[1], but Carterfone — in which it was successfully argued that AT&T, the dominant telephone service pr

Just something like, “I need to write an abstract for a presentation about XYZ. It need to this that and the other thing. Ask me questions about it.” Or “I have this data in this format and I need to write a program to transmit it using thi

Related tangentially perhaps, but I find this to be a particularly helpful application of things like ChatGPT. Instead of asking it to give me the answer, I tell it what I’m trying to do and ask it to ask me questions about it. It’s great f

The latter. MDM is way ahead on Macs, imho. Intune and Autopilot with Windows 10/11 and Azure are only just now catching up to what MDM and Jamf can do on Macs, or even what Group Policy can do on local devices. The decommissioning pro

This is a corporate device management facility. It exists for both Windows and Macs. With Macs, it’s more closely tied to the hardware because of course they’re integrated. With PCs, Intune and Autopilot are Windows features that depend on

On my iOS device, according to the battery report in the Settings app, the Traccar client does appear to use about 8% of my battery throughout the day. Google doesn’t show up at all, however, which doesn’t seem correct at all, so I’m not su

Traccar is relatively easy to set up, for those who might be interested in ditching Google for location history altogether.

Nothing has to be on your phone for a cop to demand its contents. At which point, if they want to find something incriminating, rest assured they will. “Nothing to fear if you’re not doing anything wrong” is a fallacy that serves only the c

Seems like where semver focuses slightly more on the state and process of development, this thing focuses slightly more on marketing. For instance, semver increments field values when the state of the API or level of compatibility with prev

I’m sure for those who encountered it, it’s not easy to dismiss. But it does seem like this might be getting a little extra attention perhaps because it’s relatively uncommon to hear about a flaw in ZFS at all. Drawbacks and tradeoffs aboun

I went up this road. I ended up settling on Mailcow because it does all this same work and more, with pretty good integration and sensible choices, together with some valuable tools for things like migration and backup. If and when the Mail

The fragmentation is both a flaw and a feature. It means we have diversity in media vendors, at the cost of a pretty high cognitive load to just watch something… which app is it on? What’s the account login? Search the device main search, t
