Out of curiosity, what makes you attached to Touch ID? Face ID is one of my favorite things about my SE to mini upgrade.

Damn. Didn't know about this until now but it looks like, at least, he sure put in the effort. "exploited the intelligence for illicit profit, brazenly ordering his moles to redirect aircraft carriers, ships and subs to ports he c

I think there are a bunch of related questions though: - Are the Mac Pro and Mac Studio getting yearly updates? - Are they as intricate to design and manufacture as phones? - Are they liable to eat into sales for more profitable models? Per

I don't know them by number and I wanna guess before googling. The one about having N standards, wanting to create one that unifies them all, and ending up with N+1 standards? Edit: I guessed right.

I'd argue that fragmentation is also a symptom of a lack of truly high-quality solutions, where people keep reinventing wheels because they think they'll solve problems in the existing solutions (and end up creating a different se

So a lawyer who only picks cases they can win is more of a real lawyer than, say, a public defender?

Similar boat (~25 years) and, while I've run into some sites/services that rejected my domain, I'm pretty sure it's happened fewer than 5 times, total.

Agreed. I can't think of a single feature I personally think GMail is missing (and arguably some features I wish they hadn't added). I do think their settings panels, and their filter management in particular, could sorely use som

For some reason, that smell is one of my favorite memories from my early school years. I really liked it. That combined with the magic of "Wow! Copies?!"

IDK, I'm French, and worked in the US and I can't say my perception of the US way of working generally matches yours. I've never worked in France so I can't compare there.

Damn it I was hoping you were going to reply "that's my family!" :D

I left A^3 (or Acubed, groan) 5 years ago, to relocate overseas, so I don't know how it's been since. There was definitely a bit of a "Silicon Valley knows best" attitude that I didn't buy into (because the people I

That is that we do as well, but she still has her own email account that I presume she'll keep as long as Gmail exists.

What a weird world. :) Edit: side note, your username is also the name of my favorite fusball table maker.

My spouse suffers from this as well. It's bananas to me how many people use that email address clearly thinking it's theirs.

What a coincidence! That's my name too!!

by rkomorn 1y ago
Maybe, yeah. And it's also quite possible that my view (which was across a slice of new-technology stuff hosted by the "innovation" arm) was skewed, and things aren't the same elsewhere in the company. I just remember be

by rkomorn 1y ago
Yeah, but even looking beyond individuals, my personal take is I'm no longer convinced, for example, all the massive amounts of electronics, fast fashion, and other consumerism-oriented production (which definitely do all use energy) a

Office politics, I guess, though it was kind of tinged since the offices were in different countries, but it still was Airbus-level, not nation-level, I guess.

by rkomorn 1y ago
Your note on politics is interesting because my anecdotal experience was quite different. I worked at an Airbus offshoot in Silicon Valley and my visit to Toulouse for a bunch of meetings with the teams working on new tech and AI things wer

I know, I know. Look, I'm sorry for nitpicking. I actually agree with the idea of having a lower footprint, reducing, etc. I think you're doing a good thing, and I hope you stay safe at sea.

by rkomorn 1y ago
Yeah, but presumably that's not acceptable to the person who talks about "(not) caring about the privacy of data you put in windows" in the ancestor comment, which is why I mentioned rebooting.

I have the same experience. I assumed it was a mix of (as you say) not wanting to deal with EU rules, but also not wanting to deal with licensing concerns (eg "do I have the right to show this media in this country"). Part of why

I know it's the rule of the road, but that's not the point. The point is the inconsistency in tone between "your life choices make me go around your wind farm, that makes my life difficult", and "my life choices mak

Not OP, but in general, while some things do improve my life (climate control, hot water, cooking), I'd say there are also plenty of things that don't. I don't think my device usage habits or media consumption actually improv

by rkomorn 1y ago
Yeah idk. Maybe it's the tone of stuff like "it would incur undue hardship" (re indoor temps) that comes across to me as a bit holier than thou and makes the rest of your first paragraph seem more self-centered.

by rkomorn 1y ago
I find it somewhat inconsistent that you feel people's choice of indoor temperature is an imposition on you, but also that your choice of sailboat should entitle you to having something that is literally hundreds of times larger and le
