This is because there is more mass to the plane than most missiles. And that mass going those kinds of missile-like speeds is going to create quite a shockwave and crater. Contrary to what many people are saying, the fuel contributes very little to the crater size.

There's been some side tables mention of this from some Microsoft staff.

Long story short: it's been discussed internally, as a gesture of good will, but they can't, due to intellectual property reasons. Further, there's no good incentive (other than ephemeral good will) for Microsoft to do so, even if they solved the IP problem.

Regardless, there are substantial source code leaks of Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003, if you know where to look.

Most of it's user base are non-paying "free tier" customers.

Sure, and those people have a right to complain.

But, imagine if the complaint vs paid ratio were more equal.

Right now, the ratio is massively skewed towards complainers vs paid. (>99.9% I'd guess)

I have the same general feelings, but then I recall my years as an OSS developer and being abused by people who contributed absolutely nothing to my projects. Not money, not code, not documentation, not even grammar corrections. I'm sure anyone who's been involved with reasonably popular OSS can relate.

I am not contributing to Ubuntu in any way, and that puts it into perspective.

(I still directly contribute to OSS and release OSS projects, but absolutely refuse to engage with the least bit of hostility. Any of that is an insta-block.)

Edit: Whoah the downvotes and comments. I'm not saying that Ubuntu is doing well here. I'm trying to point out that a a vast percentage of the complainers are not paying customers, and maybe if they did pay, Ubuntu would have more incentive and resources to work more quickly.

If it's a non-issue then why are they doing it?

The OP didn't present an absolute. They said "Aviation is a perfect industry to learn from" and I 100% agree with them.

It doesn't, but Cisco was great and they've just evolved into a laughing stock. Their stuff is really bad these days.

And they've overstretched their product line to too many things, trying to be the "be all" company. Fortinet is making the same mistake, but they're earlier in that process.

I mean, it's not really a mistake on their parts, their primary goal is to get rich and they are succeeding.

Citation: I've been working with Cisco technologies since the mid-1990s. At my current job, we are a few weeks away from phasing out the last of our Cisco junk. And since people will ask: to Juniper/Mist and Arista.

Like you?

Not for at least the next 3-4 years. There's been no supply chain leaks from Mark Gurman or Ming-Chi Kuo, and they'd be reporting on it if it were something that were going to be released in the next 3-4-ish years. Back in 2025 or so, Gurman said something to the effect of the 6" screen size being Apple's new baseline when asked about a possible future mini.

I live in a rural area in a red state and it's quite the opposite. People are perhaps maybe a bit too apologetic. I think the unwillingness to apologize or acknowledge oneself as wrong is a symptom of emotional immaturity rather than political persuasion.

They always have been largely handled by the Executive team. Doesn't mean the CEO won't jump in on occasion, though. And I think, depending on the case, the Executive team has historically done an excellent job.

Can't speak to them for the past couple years, and things change, though.

It's mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but is buried: level 70 is "Distinguished Engineer" and below, so effectively, it's available to all normies.

I find it kind of funny they replace these defective units with another defective unit, but I guess that’s all Apple can do, for now.

Has anyone caught wind of any hardware revisions?

Is it really “sneaky” when the whole process, purpose of the SRD, and those requirements are clearly laid out on the front page?

You still need solid motivation, a good sense of the fundamentals, communication skills, social skills, sales skills, and good taste to build good products with AI.

Also, I think you are conflating two things:

1. The genuine advancement (and challenges) AI brings.

2. The inevitable hordes of less scrupulous people who take advantage of every new trend to make money however they can.

I am fully immersed in building with AI and I barely notice these less scrupulous. I know they exist. They always exist. But why are you paying so much attention to them?

You're right, but I could see Apple acting on iOS alone, just because of scale.

There are some orders of magnitude more iOS/iPadOS devices than macOS devices.

There's a bunch of ways we could debate ourselves about things Apple would or wouldn't do, but at the end of the day, Apple is going to do whatever is in it's best interest.

They kind of already are: ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Claude Code, Codex, bots, their plugins for other apps, etc.

Some things to consider:

- There is only so much attention, compute, and talent a company can devote.

- The labs' API analytics already see which use cases are worth entering. That's what happened with coding and bots.

- If a lab launches a product, every company building on its tech becomes a rival. Competing with your own customers is costly.

- Succeeding in other verticals, like healthcare, finance, and even tech takes domain expertise, regulatory work, sales relationships, integrations with legacy systems, etc etc.

I think your point is solid, but prices usually fall for the older models -- or at least older capabilities. But the frontier models still earn premiums.

I think their lasting value is in owning (in a ~duopoly) the customer, their proprietary data and their workflows.

Edit: grammar

Important to note that a large percentage of the current versions of A and B-tier iOS apps won't run on an iOS this old.

But this is still a big step for research purposes.

Not OP, but I use DarkReader and Noir and it doesn't remove/hide the upvote button for me on either. I do have color filters enabled in accessibility on iOS, though.

Yes. Apple is a behemoth, heavy with layers and layers of middle management. It's pretty difficult to steer it any new direction and have everyone on board.

Apple's org chart now resembles Microsoft's org chart from this classic meme, but with far more groups: https://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-org-charts-2011-6

I think it would need a big restructuring with strong, smart product leadership. I'm dubious they have that now, despite the image Apple PR is orchestrating in the press with Ternus as the new CEO.

I think the main issue people have with Roku is that it also does pretty extensive tracking of you, what you watch (ACR), what devices on your network, in some cases, what you say and so on.

And they shared this collected data with a bunch of third-parties.

In other words, they do the same stuff that OLED panel that you recommended never, ever be connected to the Internet does.

But don't take my word for it:

Yep, it's been like that for many years. Well before the pandemic. First noticed when it started triggering our automated incident response systems. Everything is proxied through distributed MSFT proxies.

As far as I know, there is no way to turn it off and "regular" functionality doesn't even exist in the mobile apps anymore. The Outlook mobile app itself is a basic proxy client. I believe the new Outlook is now, or is in the process of becoming the same.

I distinctly remember this episode as a kid and it was so good. It took a safe space, a toy store, and made it so creepy.

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting it, JJ. There's a very strong chance you'll save n>0 lives by posting this.

Minor addition: When you talk to someone who has undergone the surgery, try to find someone that's a similar age and in similar shape to you, otherwise you may get wildly varying answers.

You'll respond, experience and heal from a surgery quite differently at 40 vs 50.

This is the correct answer (from a US perspective).

1. Try to obtain an Apple Security Research Device (SRD)[1] or a jailbroken iPhone.

2. Set up TLS MITM between the device and the Internet. Install the cert on the device.

3. On the device, disable certificate pinning for Apple's apps.

4. Use the device normally, observe all the telemetry flowing to Apple.

You might be a little shocked at the amount of... personal and usage details sent to Apple FQDNs.

No, I'd just do it myself with a trusted image, and save myself some money.

My own vibe-coded replacements for services that I formerly paid a subscription for, for services that need the best latency or uptimes. Also, I have a couple physical Linux boxes with other services running for stuff less latency sensitive or that require much more RAM and storage.

Caveat: almost all of them only listen on a Tailscale network interface, so they are not directly exposed to the Internet.

Thanks for that explanation, got it. Yes, they seem very Vista UAC-like in usability fail.
