They could be in a situation where that’s not available such as a child’s phone with parental controls or a managed work device that has it locked out.

Perpetual and irrevocable? Derivative works?

I recall an event some years ago around Supermicro that was along these lines. Chips added during manufacturing by nation state that interfered with the operation of the BMC and TPM. Wasn't it the catalyst that pushed hardware supply chain concerns in to mainstream media?

Actually a pretty good walk through of common issues! Most impressed with the intentional reproductions for the photos.

I don’t begrudge paying for support, I want to. But it needs to be good.

And I want to ship logs, but they don’t provide a mechanism for all their logs to be shipped.

Don’t assume ;)

That’s just patently not true for Ubiquiti. You enter the Enterprise space with them and you are paying monthly. Their very expensive Identity Enterprise monthly per user subscription and their per site support charges to be able to get help with their latest rushed release. Paying extra for Apple wallet support. And you don’t even get complete APIs in return, or proper SCIM integrations. Can’t even pull access logs via API. Infuriating company that just do not function at scale.

“Enterprise”

First hand experience many times over: there is little more regrettable than placing Ubiquitis latest test-it-in-prod release in to an Enterprise setting.

Evidence does tend to point that direction, yes. What they did to the VMware ecosystem is reprehensible

This IPO marks and inflection point where a fund that tracks whole market value shifts in definition, because of the forced rush value nature of the rule changes.

If the fast entry rule changes hadn’t happened I would agree with you entirely.

This author has clearly never operated internal infrastructure at scale. The measures proposed in this are home lab grade at best, and require ludicrous levels of precision and overhead for something that changes thousands to tens of thousands of times per day.

And for very specific nit picks, and I can’t believe I’m entertaining this idea enough to ask, but tell me how the new device on the network bootstraps without DNS? And the guest device. And the printer without Ansible support. And the NDI receiver that needs to resolve its host. And how do you resolve split brain resolution for roaming devices? Are you going to publicly address all internal resources now so my laptop keeps working outside the office?

DNS was not created as a random solution looking for a problem…

I have had a TrackIR 5 since pretty much release which I used religiously for flight siming. I also have a tobii eye tracker. I have pretty much stopped using the trackir entirely now in favour of the eye tracker + opentrack. It is incredible, works flawlessly. You have a very small amount less horizontal turn tracking, but honestly your head has to be comically side on for you to notice the difference. Perfectly smooth and predictable. Lately been using it in Nuclear Option and it’s changed the game. TrackIR also works great, and is also flawless, but the key difference is the eye tracker requires zero hardware on your head to work. Even works through glasses.

What impressed me most is when he pushes a button and the board physically moves up to make space

Sounds like a secession…

Congratulations, and enjoy your time :)

The unionised Openreach in UK who are really the de facto layer 1 network provider telco build infrastructure to a staggeringly higher quality than most of the move fast startup alternatives.

Aviation unions force very high standards and represent a lot of the developments in safety and procedures.

Nuclear power is heavily unionised, resulting in a very stable and highly qualified workforce.

Unions in film and tv have done great work defending artists rights and protecting actors, writers, crew, and others from predatory behaviour by studios.

Fire fighter unions stand against unsafe demands and protect the crews in ways the individuals can’t, resulting in meaningful change. (I’m aware of UK but projecting and assuming this applies internationally)

I could go on…

You could invert this question and it would be equally valid.

The question is why the gulf, rather than why the lag. Why is big tech pay so high?

When you compare it to other trades and industries video game dev pay is much more “normal”

Marketing definitely takes interest in status sites

More likely that 'update the Status site' lives a long way down their incident response plan, and they have alarms going off well before that

So I was, for about a month. But I had to give it up due to, mainly, compatibility with MAM requirements for work and app quality. It’s so infuriating to me how good this hardware is yet how equally underinvested it is.

I do enjoy it when I’m in a work type that is well supported.

I would love deeper integration with macOS beyond just screen sharing too. Or alternatively a broader selection of native equivalent apps.

There also seems to be an odd standoff between Apple and the streaming apps, eg no native YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, etc. Not that it impacts work, but it impacts consumer adoption.

I’m very curious how this new era of Apple will respond…

Quite incredible. This comment is larger.

What happened with VMWare licensing post acquisition is a travesty and has absolutely ruined what was a great ecosystem of small to medium scale hosting operations (talking in the half a rack to 10 racks territory). There is still no alternative with feature parity.

Hmmmmmmmm

Have a look at meshrank and the current map over UK. It’s quite wild how much coverage there is.

Why should a company continually grow in headcount?

What an unfortunate time for these niche hardware companies to be launching new hardware. Framework, StarLabs, System76, (I wonder if Tuxedo will release something). The RAM prices must be killing them. Even if they increase prices to accommodate, I know quite a lot of folks who are simply punting any purchasing until things calm down.

The Intel 13th gen will draw ~1% per hour while suspended to RAM.

Oh, I must be misremembering. I also used to use it with XBMC/Kodi, but I recalled kodi itself being the dvr element. Or maybe I’m even conflating it with plex. It has been a minute :D
