Why did you stay, if you hate your employer so much?

They will likely just shut the location down if they loose. It’s cheaper than setting a precedent on union recognition. No doubt they have other nearby locations in their expansion pipeline.

No their apps are not exempt, they are treated in the same way as every app that does not track you like this, or sell you data. If you don’t engage in objectionable behaviour, then you don’t have to ask permission.

You just have to upgrade the non-UniFi devices to UniFi ones.

Your iPad will work even better when you pair it with an iPhone, Mac and AirPods. The seamless integration is unmatched by any other platform. Cut on one device and instantly paste on another. Get a call whilst watching a movie and the AirPods will just switch over to which ever device you answer the call on, and then switch back when you’re done. The list goes on, but you get the idea.

I switched the licensing model on my Open Source project (iframe-resizer) from MIT to GPLv3 + Commercial license options for non GPL projects. Most business don’t want to distribute under the GPL, and are willing to pay to get around it.

You can offer a fix fee for smaller businesses and an individually negotiated annual licenses for majors like Google.

I’m in my second year of running like this, and the extra income has enabled me to invest a lot more time into the project, than I otherwise would have been able to.

You know you can buy a new iPad for $349 right? You don’t need the Pro version for you use case.

You completely missed the point of the iPad. It’s a simple device for people for people who want something that just works. Most people just don’t care about the types of features that are important to you.

The locked down ecosystem makes it far harder to screw up your system and for the target demographic simplicity is the key selling point. Sometimes less really is more for a lot of people.

I own both the iPad Pro M4 and a MacBook Air. I find 90% of the time I gravitate to the iPad. Nothing beats it as a media consumption device, casual browsing, email and portability. I even use it for basic office tasks and zoom calls.

The MacBook basically never leaves my desk, plugged into a 38 inch screen. It’s used for coding (iframe-resizer.com) and occasionally when I have a task that needs a larger screen.

If you wish the iPad was a Mac, you should just by a Mac. For everyone else the constrains Apple places on it, have made it more usable, not less. Sometimes less really is more.

The latest Pimax VR headset give you 57deg resolution with a limited field of view. This requires a more or less 4K by 4K display for each eye. A resolution that melts even the performance of a 5090, ideally you would be able to have a 5090 for each eye.. Their long term plan is to get to 6k4k per eye to give 57deg resolution and a wide enough field of view for full immersion.

What I get from this research is that VR ultimately is going require 12k8k per eye and the GPU performance of at least a dozen 5090s! That is a few decades into the future at current rates of performance improvement.

Having an ATMOS system at home took away the last advantage of the movie theatre.

PayPal has a long history of cutting of accounts without warning. Steam are luck that they are not holding on to funds for six months like the tried to do with a festival I used to run.

It come from the idea of the “Vibe Shift”, which has recently gained a lot of traction in the political sphere. The term came out of a NY art collective called K-HOLE back in 2022, their founder Sean Monahan explained the current shift as follows.

“[. . .] the trajectory of the 2010s has been exhausted in a lot of ways. The culture-war topic no longer seems quite as interesting to people. Social media isn’t a place where you can be as creative anymore; all the angles are figured out. Younger people are less interested in things like quote-unquote cancel culture. These were kind of, like, the big pillars we used to navigate pop culture in the 2010s. And we had the rise of all these world-spanning, like, Sauron-esque tech platforms that literally have presences on every continent. People want to make things personal again.”

Translated to coding, it is trying to express the idea that the old way of coding is passé and that new generation of programmers will use new tools.

It doesn’t need to, if AI can double my productivity as a developer, companies only need half as many developers. Once supply overtakes demand you can say goodbye to those crazy salaries we’ve been getting for the last couple of decades.

I would love a 10k120 ultrawide monitor. Where can I sign up for such a thing?
