This might be a legitiate complaint, I can't relly comment since I've not used a mac for years. I.m generaly haoppy with iOS,iPADOS and TVOS os tho, but then again they are generallty mre specialized than a generla laptop/desktop os. Allso I just realised hat out of all the different apps I use on theese devices the only ones made by apple is the camera app (i dont take photos frequently but its handy as a qr scanner and for reading small lables on things) , the mail app (at least until mozillla gets around to releasing thunderbird for ioados), and the calender app (mostly as a frontend for several google calendars). on the apple tv my use of apple apps is 0 (in al cases i exclude the settings app and the abb store for obvious rosens. I also skipped mentioning the web browser on ipados and ios til last, even tho I use Chrome on botth places they are just shells over safaris rendering engine, my only reasn for using chrome is for easy bookmark and tab sync between my mobile devices and my laptop+ desktop both running linux

or complaining that the 911 lacks the possibility to mount a towbar or a pto

true it is weay to easu to fal into the trap of say going to aoole.com finding the cheapest macbook you can find, then going to deel/leniovo and see what the cheapest laptop they have is and concude the wow Apple is sexpensive. the like for like Comparison is a bit tricky today due to apples switch to their own arm chips, in an ideal wrld thinks lik mglops or mflops/A shold be printetd in laptop spects so we have some cind of comparison number, or limpac/geekbench scores put alas the only thing we have to go on s gpu fammuily (if a descendere gpu is installed) ram size storrage and the wildly missleading cpu clock frequenzy. So the very easy but allso very misleading chepest for cheapest comarison is the one the gets triotted out again and afain becouse that is the only comparison that does not tern into a research project

Iot esp industrial iot never gets updated, but ig they do their networking right that stuff should be on a ceparate vlan with no default rout on the hosts , or a firewall that blocks all traffic that is not comming from a bastion host. Freiends don't let friends run exposed telnet daemons ( unless they are knowingly part of a honypot that is :) )

COM1.. I see you're under microslops thumb, i respect your choice ( if indeed it was a choice),If not you might try gnu/linux ( pottering is lurking) or bsd. And you could foreard telnet ( ot any other yco/ip traffic over a serial link with slip, but at that point you might as well make the server present a local login on that serial port and skip telnet and slip alltogether

Yes we dod, but what could we have done, if we had sebdtvour own assets to influence yjr US election anr it had been spotted ( probably) I tink the trump rartifs would have looked lime the proverbial srorm in a teacup. So Europe wisely staird out of those elections and let the US roin it for them selves, with a bit of "help" from Vladimit vladimirovic p

I think the sec might have put a stop to a 10^100 year bond, ar 't wa talking in the bollbark of the heat death of the universe her, at any rate fare after the sun dies, yea that matutity sounds like a scam bigger thad madoff

I suspect this is a short term liquidity move,, they need mony for the ai bilgout and the power bills over the next few yers before they get an roi. they can afford the cupon bot want to push yhe maturity as far in the future s possible, ( ie not my problem for the next 10 decades) when AI comes in in a big way , they'll probably pay it off way early. And if that does't haloen. Well the investors pitcforks won'y be comming out until long avter the currebt board us 6 feet onder

Well we are obviously different, I hate ads but like to easely contribute to the creators i enjoy so yt premium is worth it for me

I don't think the EULA size is significant, it's just text after all. and I'm not even shoure the eula is stored in the executable (well it's obviously stored in the self extracting installer executable but that's another matter)

Ok I must have missed that, can you give concrete examples (besiddes systemd hate, and the remaining phalanges of the x-11 to wauland transition) ?

Well I suspect if a najor nackbone suddenly is cut , and the data has to take a longer path on a now more congested link for weeks folks won't be happy. Remember fiber is not only the last mile, most fiber is in backbones or regional / metro loops. not to motion if a conduit leading to/from a Majotr IX gets a backhoes bucket thru it. Im not saying that getting the fiber going to your neighborhood cut won't be bad but consewuensec are still limited compared to an IX/backbone issue

Nice avoidance there Stallman, you refused to answer the question, you are omly a pirate when sharing the work (be it sw or whatever else) in violation of the licence that allowed you to use that work in the first place. When you say "i only share free sw" well you are per definition not a pirate. Answer the god damed question, or are you a politician?

Well ARM was English, it has since been sold off too SoftBank in 2016

What about setting the delivery rates such that you can beay drivers enugh not to rely on tips, tips should be somthing extra if the person doing the job goes above and beound normal expectationns. not an expected fee on tiop of the price you pay for the service. Would you accept paying your ISP tips for the service they provide, I think not
