I wish the world was as utopian as you described. Unfortunately, and I’m sorry to say, that’s an extremely naive world view you hold. I hope you won’t be taken advantage of by people with less good intentions.

Do you not have multiple confluence space admins to avoid specifically this type of problem?

Then you know full well that just because they shouldn’t take all the crab legs doesn’t mean they don’t/won’t take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I’ll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can’t blame them.

Then why advertise it as “unlimited” or “all you can eat”? That’s false advertisement.

You’re referring to Mandarin Buffet aren’t you

What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered

In what world are “unlimited” and “all you can eat” synonymous with “too far”?

“Too far” implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business’s ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don’t advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that’s false advertisement.

I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It’s much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.

As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn’t say I agree with “more people need to leave it”, I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).

The root of the issue was identified by a third party repair shop, narrowing down to two capacitors that were providing the wrong voltage, preventing the MacBook Air to boot up.

While I agree that a repair shop technician is certainly more technically skilled and trained to find those issues than an apple genius bar associate, it is up to Apple to ensure that they equip their associates with the right tools and processes to identify the root cause prior to providing a quote, and even more so to inform the customer prior to performing the work order, or charging the customer.

Coincidentally, I just came back from a battery swap of my MacBook, and in my experience, there was confirmation at every step of the way before proceeding, even down to email receipts, to ensure that I understand the problem, and approve the work order. In this lady’s case, someone fucked up big time.

What? At the time of this comment, one comment is a link to piped YouTube, one comment about the dispersible nature of Adobe products, and another about the difficulty of electronics repair… Where are these Apple cult members or are you really just hallucinating?

As a manager who WFH, if managers are ineffective at their job, it’s either that they suck, or their org structure causes them to suck.

If upper management wants a manager to manage 30 people, of course they will suck.

Keep the team to 8 max so the manager can actually do some hands on technical work as well.

As a manager, I can confirm that productivity drops in the office (even my own). I’ve got team members that choose to go to the office (moreso than me). I encourage them to work however they prefer, and want. You can work anywhere around the world however you wish, including at some nice beach, as long as it doesn’t affect the project.

As a manager, I empower my team to work remotely as much as possible 🤷

I think you replied to the right post (mine) but I didn’t downvote you.

Information disclosure doesn’t necessarily imply it’s intentional or unintentional, just that information was disclosed. But in a sense I do agree somewhat with that you said, only that WHO the person who developed the API receives that message from makes a huge difference. The IT security team coming to you and says “information disclosure” is scarier than a team mate

Carries the same weight as “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly”. It’s the fault of those little green men in kerbal space program.

Data leak? In the security field, they categorize it as “information disclosure”… But it doesn’t have the same level of gravitas to it

They go by Vaccine Hunters. I don’t think they are active anymore but you can find their history here: https://vaccinehunters.ca/about

Canadian governmental entities (at all levels) aren’t known for their innovative thinking. Throughout the pandemic, regardless of your position on vaccines, the main fact that it was a group of volunteers in a discord channel that were responsible for the information shows the archaic state of digital communication in Canada. Frankly embarrassing by global comparison.

Linus has a track record and proven history of doing/saying stupid shit. I think in this case, he recognizes that he’s just shit at his job and wants help. He most likely didn’t expect the Billet issue (no way he would have known Steve would have released a vid) and if he knew about Madison coming out, he’d have tried to prevent that sooner. Hiring a CEO won’t fix the Madison problem, as that event had already occurred.

I had literally just set this up on my truenas instance yesterday (even though I’ve been using ZeroTier for some time). The key thing to recognize is that truenas whipes out any modifications to its system after a reboot, hence the need for this script.

I’ve heard great things about tailscale, but just have had an opportunity to try it.
