how did the idiots who made the policy ever get hired?

I've only been paying attention since 1990 but every single time a feature they don't offer "is stupid" until they offer it.

Even when I liked the company this Cluster B behavior always bothered me.

If there's an example of "that's a really nice feature our competitor has but we don't offer it yet" I haven't seen it.

The closest I can think of was offering WebObjects for Solaris. Not sure if that ever shipped or we just had a beta. I bailed from that Healthcare IT team when the CIO pulled funding for two-phase commit among disparate patient medication systems with the rationale "even if medication errors kill someone it'll be cheaper to settle the lawsuits than pay for the license." Enough people left that they outsourced and everybody still hates that replacement system.

I learned too late that MBA's don't care about quality.

> everything you do has fucked the consumers

Say more ... how has suing to end the Play App Store monopoly 'fucked consumers'?

Let them do their thing.

I remember in High School the Camaro guys couldn't stop talking about how their Camaros were better than Mustangs but the Mustang guys never felt the need to denigrate the Camaros.

It's a matter of nature.

Some people here may need to panic right about now.

Why spend even more money on more equipment that you have to store and maintain, and buy increasingly expensive fuel for, when you can dual purpose what you already have?

That's assuming you can even get fuel of course. When Sandy hit (last big hurricane in this area) most of the gas stations around here were inoperable for the first day or two because - you'll never believe this - but fuel pumps ALSO need electricity and there weren't enough generators rentals to go around. The stations that were operating over the next few days quickly ran out because the depot infrastructure, located on the shoreline, was damaged.

So sure, all you need is a generator, and an entire evening to wait in line for your rationed fuel hoping they don't run out by the time you get to the pump. So easy and much more convenient than just running an extension cord to the EV in your garage, which also runs silently, indoors, all night if you want.

If you want to go full prepper mode buy some solar panels and lay them out in the driveway or lawn. Even a kw or two worth (about 4-7 panels) would be able to easily cover your daily emergency needs with an EV battery to store it in.

The run time will obviously depend on the size of the battery, which will likely be available in at least two sizes. I'm willing to bet you can also set reserve limits so the truck doesn't completely discharge itself, and that further limits the run time.

Battery capacity has yet to be announced though.

All that said, I'd say at least 30kwh which will keep most homes running 2-3 days without any change in usage habits. With some very conscientious usage you can probably get a week out of it.

The right way to do this is to hire a group of developers and have test volunteers report workflow problems - then FIX them - then iterate. That's the point of choosing an open source solution.

Eventually there would be no problems remaining.

But so many possible scenarios exist that it's impossible to guess what happened here.

PS _NSA_KEY

There are apparently other unpatched vulnerabilities that are known but 'too busy':

It sounds like this fix got done because it was 'accidentally' posted as a public PR.

Yeah, the threat actor would need a foothold on the PXE network, which is a private VLAN (or better) in the competent case.

That's why we worry about APT's and such.

Granted, you'll find people on certain cloud providers who do far too much on a public IP.

No one is forcing you to upgrade your iPad every 2-3 years just like no one is forcing you to upgrade your iPhone every year. Some people want to upgrade; that is their choice. For some people, they need an additional iPad for their children/spouse etc. For some, their iPad met an unfortunate end. For most of us, we upgrade if and when we need.

The iPad mini costs more than the base iPad because the base iPad is using a 4 year old chip. The base iPad in the current lineup as far as I remember got the oldest chips. The iPad mini is not cheaper than the iPad Air or iPad Pro.

The iPad does not have cellphone chips so using it as an iPhone is simply not possible. This is known. Not sure why you think Apple is trying to screw you over if you cannot use it as a cellphone when it is not a cellphone.

What if someone has fifty windows open with fifty tabs each?

Solid effort - good job.
