I assume you might be talking about the Mac app that has not had an update since 2023. But why do we consider that abandoned? It seems like the kind of thing that if it works, why keep updating it? Now if it broke in a new version of Mac an

I do realize that there are alternatives, but I just don't feel the need too. I am already fully within the Apple Ecosystem for other reasons. Continuity is icing on top. I prefer Mac to Windows and I have zero desire to use Android. B

I have seen parts of this ad come up on YouTube and every time I see it I wonder how they thought it was a good idea. There are so many other use cases they could have chosen but instead they went with, instead of a genuine letter lets make

For the most part I am fine with Safari, but I also can't say there is any browser that I actually like using. I feel like one of the biggest problems is, well what are the alternatives? I use Firefox on my PC but since that is primari

This, cannot be real. Why was this not abandoned immediately as soon as the AI Pin and the Rabbit thing failed miserably. Putting aside the questionable (and frankly dystopian) side of using AI for something like this, Apple, Google, and Mi

I don't believe we have any confirmation of Android, but there will be an app for Windows. Which likely covers most of their bases, I imagine the crossover of people with iPhones and a Windows PC is far larger than those with a Mac and

Right I saw that, but no communication about if/when CodeCommit is actually going away. That is something that AWS tends to be really good on. Maybe a bit uncommitted on smaller features of a product, but this is a weird middleground o

Do we actually know that it is being deprecated or just stopping the ability to set it up on a new account? I don't see anything official from AWS stating this. The other link mentions it will still get security fixes but no new featur

This is very much a “easier said than done” situation that I would think Hacker News of all places would be better about when it comes to “just” doing something in code. First Windows already does something similar. After 3 it is supposed t

Hardware failure hosed or just needing a re-image hosed? Unless the hardware was already near failure I don’t see how this could cause hardware failure. The worst case scenario was the machine just constantly rebooting but after 3 (I think,

It does feel like Apple TV has gained a reputation for science fiction (and just generally nerdy things), there are multiple articles out there on it. Putting out the type of content we used to expect from HBO. So my hope would be they woul

This needs to keep being repeated anytime someone wants to blame the company. Many don’t have a choice, a lot of compliance is doing x to satisfy a checkbox and you don’t have a lot of flexibility in that or you may not be able to things li

I sympathize with the engineers, QA, and everyone involved in getting this out. I have to imagine it was a lot of long hours, and the testing was insane. The last thing I want to do is put this tool out and it somehow messes things up more.

How is "being on the latest patch" (security definitions), not part of the security architecture? No where am I implying that it is the only part of security. Also you are still ignoring, that for many of these companies they have

At some point you have too, you will never control 100% of the system between your servers and whoever or whatever will be interacting with it, and between your servers and whatever other services you have to work with. There might be small

Most of the blame here falls on Crowdstrike. Both from a software standpoint that it can cause a BSOD so easily and not be able to handle something like this happening. But also whatever failure happened to let that file get out. Some, mino

Realistically what is the alternative if you are running servers that could seriously be the target of an attack? I will give you that I highly doubt that a large number of these machines are anywhere near that critical nature, but there ar

Right, I have never been in a situation that a re-write was considered in another language that it was not due to some other reason. Most of the time it is first, we need to change some major functionality, we have an architectural issue, o

You know what game is it though. You know where they are getting their sources from. As much as I hate react videos, at least the situation is the same. You know where the source is from and can go to the original if you wish. Show me the a

That is not the same and I really feel like the distinction should be obvious. Most articles will link to sources from others and then build on top of them for their own article. Actually giving sources for your work. That isn't swipin

I do have to wonder if Target or Wallmart have this problem, particularly with Wallmart going the same marketplace model. Clearly something is wrong with Amazon's return process, but just curious if this is unique to Amazon or just kno

I have to agree, this to me seems like a great in theory but questionable in practice. We know how much damage a cli can do, they often don't have the protections in place most other systems. I mean if I copy files with AWS s3 there is

Yeah I wish there was a solution to that, even open source isn't a solution since it would be trivial for there to be a difference between what is running on the server and what is open source. Ultimately you have to make a decision ba
