Like I said, no system is perfect. But let’s be real — which OS model is likely to better secure them and limit the damage? It’s objectively clear it’s iOS. iCloud backups make recovering from the damage much easier too. Backing up MacOS or

Disagree. Every system has problems. Look at what happened with Zoom — unrestricted access to your entire user account on MacOS, for them to do whatever they want. Normal people should not have to even think about a virus or malware scanner

I found that odd too. I like TikTok, but it’s really nothing like YouTube. TikTok is basically a better Vine.

I’d like to think so hah, but I’m not 100% either. It seems it would be easier to integrate the true (or close) environmental cost so there is a negative profit impact, instead of twisting people/countries to do the right thing. Becaus

I definitely understand that viewpoint (China and other Asian countries say similar things). And specifically for Asia, much of that pollution is technically originating in the west, we’ve just outsourced a lot of our pollution to Asian cou

I’ve been thinking about doing something like that, but would that stop auto-playing videos on news sites? Or are there specific filters for that? Either way, do you find that the Adblock detection / nags are less reliable when you do

Good idea, but I wish there was a less harsh method. I have been using my iPad a lot recently and the thing that bugs me is that it’s almost impossible to listen to Spotify uninterrupted as you use Safari because of auto-playing videos (not

I found that comment a bit bizarre, too, as an American. Many (most?) people in America simply don’t care about this or have any general curiosity about the world outside of them. America is the land of fast food and unsustainable cheap bee

Maybe they won’t bother until a 5G deployment in the future? The merger will probably take at least a year, probably longer, to fully integrate anyway.

That definitely happens, but I think a lot of the blunders are due to good intentions with poor execution or not enough thought into the need and demand. Things like adding features to solve a problem, when those problems only affect a smal

Also worked in ops my whole life and can definitely understand that stress when downtime hits and people are counting on you. Minutes begin to feel like hours. Seeing more of these large companies (Google, Facebook, Cloudflare) have signifi

Absolutely agree. I had a shaved head for a while and it has downsides too. I live in a sunny area so I had to wear sunscreen all the time, or hats, which I generally don’t find I look right in. I got a lot more sweat rolling down my head a

Same here. The one other person that mentioned trans women was downvoted into oblivion. And in general, all the comments are very male centric. Women have hair loss too. Cancer or alopecia. Although many can embrace their baldness, to dismi

I don’t think permission is the main problem here, it’s the volume of people taking the exact same picture. I wouldn’t want a stream of Instagrammers at my door “asking for permission” to take a photo either. That’s also annoying.

“Kellogg’s secret research to make cereal taste better” “Tesla’s secret battery program” Neither has negative connotation to me. Like you said, I think it’s because Facebook regularly acts unethically in public view. Anything they do in sec

Wait, the “no shoes” thing is mandatory? I remember reading about it, but thought it was optional. Still creepy. Either way, like you said, I wouldn’t work for them for the same reason — obsessive company culture, which indicates a poor wor

A nontechnical person won’t blink an eye. Those are still sane people, they simply don’t understand the threat like we do. Same reason that recent issue with all the Chrome extensions happens. A lot of people blindly click OK, just like we’

I like threads. Especially in busy rooms, or where you need a quick diversion of a topic that only affects some of the participants in the room. I use it for incident updates internally too so the discussion is grouped. Much easier than pag

Why would they do it? I want a native Slack app, but they have no incentive to do so. Look at where Slack has grown with their current app and ecosystem. I’ve never heard a single company say they’re moving to Microsoft chat because of Elec

I’ve seen this a lot more over the last few years with US carriers. The bottom tier ticket doesn’t let you choose and you have to pay more to get a choice (aisle or window). It definitely used to be more of a first-book-first-choice policy

I think it’s also the realization of a supply problem. A lot of companies around the world cannot compete on compensation with the larger tech companies in the Bay Area, and many people don’t want to move there, so it’s win-win.

Forbes is a trash publication, living on its historical reputation to vomit SEO spam all over the internet. A good recent example: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/21/business/media/jeffrey-ep... “Th

Yep, I looked into that but you basically cede all control back to ARIN. ARIN does not let you consider them “assets” so they get involved in any company acquisition. IPv4 space from other regions is much more flexible.

Ah whoops, sorry about that. Thought they were referencing the larger IP space issue. My point still stands, ARIN is terrible :)

Good. I hate that crap. Come on NYT, I can clear your cookies and have the exact same effect as using incognito.

I’m not usually a “let the market decide” person, but ARIN has only made this problem worse with their idealism over reality policies. Their response has continued to be “time to switch to ipv6” which grossly oversimplifies the reality of t

I don’t agree with that. Regular password rotation increases the opportunity for phishing attacks because people become used to sleep walking through it. And users are generally just adding one or two characters to the password anyway. Inst

Couldn’t they charge for viewing? Or charge for loaning it? I still think the appraised value is nuts with that law in effect.
