"the company is surprised by how many people this change affected"
I call bullshit on this.
Google know EXACTLY how many free G Suite accounts there are, and they know EXACTLY how many are idle/abandoned and how many are currently in use.

What surprised Google is that somehow people were pissed off at being told they had to start paying for something they've had for free for 10-15 years, and was touted as always being free when they first signed up. The only thing that surprises me about this is that Google claimed to be surprised by this reaction - anyone could have told them that this would happen.

The best keyboard I've used, and currently have sitting under my fingers, is the Logitech G915

It's not cheap, but it's excellent.
Low-profile, mechanical keyswitches. Full compliment of multimedia keys, volume roller and dual wireless connections (low-latency Lightspeed Wireless and regular ol' Bluetooth)

Nope, they don't have a volume roller for adjusting the system volume. They are dead to me.
The roller seems very simple, but is now my favourite feature on all the Logitech keyboards I've used that have it, like the G915

What I haven't seen discussed widely is the elephant in the room - what if this developer wanted to be far more malicious, instead of making a blatantly obvious point?
What if he had have committed some changes that individually didn't look like much, but combined over a few months or more added up to putting a backdoor into the code, or a crypto miner or something that would otherwise be classified as malware?
It's clear that people were blindly pulling changes from his repo without even glancing at the changelog. This could have been a far more severe problem, assuming it hasn't already happened in any other popular library.
Just because it's open source, and just because you _can_ read the code, does it mean that you have personally checked over the code of every library you're pulling into your project? No, of course you haven't - you're too busy working on your project. You trust the libraries will do what they say on the box, and you trust that if they are popular and widely used then _someone_else_ has looked over the code and found it to be OK.

I ran the following on macOS 12:
sudo find / -type f | wc -l 2> /dev/null
Aside from it being prevented from looking in a number of directories due to SIP, it told me there are 3,914,709 files on my computer.

I fondly remember the days of Mac OS 9 (and prior) when the total number of files installed by the OS was countable in double-digits, and I could look in the System folder and tell you at a glance exactly what each and every one of the files in there was for.

Now, nearly 4M files on my computer (of which mine can probably be counted with 3 digits) and I can't tell you what the vast majority of them are for.

I can't decide what I like best about vinyl. It's either the convenience, or the low cost to buy music on LP.

Windows 10 on arm64 featured a preview of x86_64 to arm64 translation. Microsoft have recently announced that this feature will ship in Windows 11.

I don't know if they are taking Apple's Rosetta 1 route of dynamic translation at runtime (that incurs a significant performance penalty) or if they're using the Rosetta 2 technique of taking the x86_64 binary and treating it as source code to recompile it to arm64 - which can perform at near-native speeds.

This is already how some enterprise HDDs operate. All HDDs write a full cylinder, before stepping over to the next track.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

This is a solution looking for a problem. NVMe was developed to overcome the limitations of a SATA or SAS interface, interfaces that were designed explicitly for rotating media.

In the last ten years, HDDs have not massively increased in bandwidth, have not massively increased in IOPS, and have not massively decreased in latency - whereas SSDs have. NVMe was developed to offer more bandwidth, more IOPS and lower latency for flash media.
Any single spindle can't even come close to maxing out what you can achieve with 6Gbs SATA, or SAS.

Adding an NVMe interface to a RAID array, on the other hand, may make more sense – but this would be something to be implemented in the RAID controller, not in individual drives.

Deposit $100. Convert to something that's going up - say SHIB. Hold for 15 minutes and make $5 profit - this should cover any fees. Convert back to fiat and transfer back to your bank account. Wait 7-10 days for your "free" BTC, either hold that or convert back to fiat and transfer to your bank account. It's pretty easy.

What self-respecting JavaScript malware author is releasing un-obfuscated malware?
Particularly even when "legit" JavaScript is usually always minified and crunched, which is a form of obfuscation anyway.

What's more, we can never see something fully complete its fall into a black hole. The event horizon is not only a place in space, but it's a place in time as well. The surface of the event horizon lies far, far in our future. As matter falls in towards the black hole, it gets redshifted further and further, and eventually from our point of view (if we could see it beyond all the hard radiation) it would stop and freeze just before it crosses the event horizon.

I actually think they have a really good hardware and software platform. They're a bit overpriced, but then so is anything with the Cisco brand on it, so that's par for the course.
I don't even mind paying for continued access to a management console, nor do I mind paying for support. I just don't agree with a provider being able to brick my network if I don't pay up each year. Many corporations however have decided differently, and Meraki are pretty popular.

I will never use, nor recommend, Meraki equipment.
I could handle having to pay a subscription cost for continued access to their cloud console, or for continued firmware updates, but with Meraki if you stop paying your subscriptions, your firewalls stop routing data and your switches stop forwarding packets. No thanks.

Don't get me wrong, their hardware is good quality, and their cloud console is one of the best in the industry - I'm just not putting in equipment that will hold my internal network to ransom if I don't pay up each year.

This shouldn't come as news to anyone who's ever owned a car. Have you ever priced parts at the dealer, vs an independent mechanic? There's a reason people call them the Stealership.
Sometimes there's no difference in quality between OEM and third-party. Sometimes third-party is worse, sometimes however third-party replacements can be better than OEM.
