I don't think the kid did anything at all.

Pretty sure it was this one.

I should have said unconstitutional.

As it stands there are other laws that deal specifically with flying that could very much make this illegal, and probably do.

"Ultimately, whether it is legal in the United States to falsely shout "fire" in a theater depends on the circumstances in which it is done and the consequences of doing it. The act of shouting "fire" when there are no reasonable grounds for believing one exists is not in itself a crime, and nor would it be rendered a crime merely by having been carried out inside a theatre, crowded or otherwise. "

If you were trying to show that it is illegal, you made a poor choice.

DACs are a dime a dozen and you aren't able to tell the difference on between whatever silly expensive headphones you use and my $30 pair with a 3.5mm port and good drivers. DACs were a solved problem more than 20 years ago, support circuitry at this point is also a pretty well solved problem for the most part - you have to go out of your way to fuck up a reference design to make it bad enough for your claim to be true.

A mac neo is certainly producing a quality signal that I'd bet a paycheck on that you can not tell the difference with audio equipment to help you, certainly not with your ears. I'm fairly confident you couldn't tell the difference between your choice digital headphones and my $30 3.5mm set.

And my 3.5mm device works all the time, never goes dead - which is pretty much what is constantly the state of wireless devices. Its absolutely silly to think like we're in 1992 and you're arguing a gravis ultrasound vs sb16 DAC.

A 3.5mm port is cheaper and smaller than any other port your are going to use in its place, including USB-C. If your device is so short on real estate place that it can't afford the space for a 3.5mm port - it better be a foldable phone or something that fits in your pocket cause pretty much every laptop has room to spare something like a 3.5mm port

I can tell by your comment that you own lots of monster cables so you get that warm sound out of your digital signal.

Because if it doesn't, its not a rival, its just another PC clone knock off wannabe.

I don't want a neo for the hardware - I want one so my kid can have OSX and not have to deal with half assed operating systems.

Almost no one buys a macbook because of the hardware. Don't get me wrong, its quality stuff - but its not the most cost effective unless you buy immediately after a good hardware refresh, otherwise its over priced and not worth running any other OS on.

People by Macs for OS X.

Headphone ports are complete wastes of space. 3.5mm headphones are almost universally garbage, and even if you have really nice high-end 3.5mm headphones their quality doesn't matter if the device's DAC sucks - like the Neo's or any other budget device with a 3.5mm port. Anyone still buying or using 3.5mm headphones is cringe.

I don't love LLMs or vibe coding, however, there are ways to block LLMs from being able to access your repo - none of which this author has done. A message in the User Guide about not using LLMs means absolutely nothing. So, the author wasted his time putting in literal malware into their repo solely to spite LLM users before downgrading the malware to a useless informational message. In the time it took the author to do that, they could have locked down their repo against a significant majority of LLMs, but no.

The author is either incompetent, stupid, or lazy.

So Meta == a tobacco company ... rather than a cartel - no wait - cartels do it too, heard of crack cocaine?

Even if that happened, absolutely nothing of consequence would happen to the people that actually did it.

No more fines. No more sanctions against organizations.

Criminal charges, multiple years of very punitive jail time - against the people that ACTUALLY did it - from Zuckerberg right on down to the SRE that deployed the changes. Every single one of them made an active decision to be a complete shitbag and they should be treated as such. I don't really care if the SRE was ignorant or just doing his job - if you don't expect people to put effort into it, they won't - AND ALL OF THEM could have spoke up and done something to stop it. But they didn't. It was easiest FOR THEM to just do what their boss said, and screw everyone else ...

No legal protection of any sort for any of them.

Theres a reason the only people on the planet that speak out against Luigi are CEOs and politicians - not the rest of us who are all basically like 'Yea, that was wrong, murder is never the solution - but he deserved it for being a pile of shit who profited from letting others die with 0 compassion, we aren't really going to punish Luigi'

Apple will fail.

Cast it into models of the eiffel tower

Yeah, he should have put it in a brokerage account for a couple of years and then returned it as surplus to requirements.

Why have an LLM tell you it thinks you fucked up when you can have the compiler not allow you to make the fuck up in the first place?

I can't wait for more liar CEOs to get Luigi'd.
