This is the big issue. There is always tension in these “free” setups. I get more worried when the giveaways / marketing is VC funded - they often end at some point or pressure inside to dial back etc. “We have free egress to Oceania!”

A very long article but I’m slightly confused. Is he using proraw? Can you not get unprocessed images from proraw? I’m not sure what the pipeline looks but I thought this type of situation was where pro raw was supposed to be used?

If you were around when phone theft was a thing on BART and Muni you'd never sit near a door again :) It was comical how bad it was and how little the govt did about it other than demand apple fix the issue. Would have been trivial to

I'm not saying they can't figure it out, but there is a lot of repair flow stuff that may not do that because if the person didn't unlock before mailing not that many will unlock after mailing? Or even know how to?

Apple is explicit about making sure lock is off when buying - and at least apple won’t pay out on an unlocked phone reported “stolen”. But yes - the scams migrate. Stolen product still had some value via bogus warranty claims because that p

I don’t think asurion spends the time to do the reset flow if the lock is showing as on. In most cases users don’t turn off lock after the fact. I thought reset flow was needed to get network connectivity back which is needed to check lock

The reduction in iPhone theft after activation lock was remarkable in the Bay Area. Did the person writing the article confirm none of these were stolen? Owners can now remove devices via web site I think. So if folks are saying these are j

Interesting- I wonder if new staff issues or changes in menu for food safety- we also dialed back for disappointing food but thought just local store. I am rooting for them - far less fried food and far less sugar

It’s a fantastic board spec. Timing with them on availability can take longer. If they can get VMware compatible would be great. Because they have dual 10g you need no network card in most cases. AM5 integrated graphics allows bring up

I'd check out something like oil which is a large and high dollar market. The relationship between production and price is well established, and no, production does not move inversely to price. This is because the marginal cost in almo

I thought this was a reason Europe has struggled in tech a bit - hard to try things out. I also thought this was why lots is “on contract” - it’s better not to bring people into your actual team (which must have some negatives)

Article seems weak but Apple Card does not sync to personal finance packages so at least for some users a no go. I’d guess impact is small but I’d imagine users paying attention to spend might have stronger credit? The ads I see for the App

The issue I’ve seen is need for heat goes up a LOT in older houses when it gets that cold, and the heat pump without resistive heat performs a lot worse (like 2x+ worse). So it’s a noticeable combination

The key issue is despite claims that cold doesn’t affect heat pumps it absolutely does. We have an old house. When very cold the heat pump struggles to put out enough heat. It works well enough, but something to be aware off - go bigger in

Some cautions - noticeably lower heat output at cold temps. - install is important, many installs done get adequate ventilation- so cold air collects near unit. - high ceilings can be an issue, evaluate fans to bring heat down - gas is amaz
