I use the iOS app and agree it’s not the most intuitive app to use. I used to create requests under other and 311 would manually redirect it to the appropriate department.
After awhile though, I can find the appropriate category to use.
What I don’t like is that often tickets are just closed and nothing is done. This is often the case for issues created for the code department. PARD and AE from my experience are decent.
This guy has not aged well. Dude did too much coke in the 2000s-2010s. Now his brain is all fucked up and out of touch with reality.
I really hated all of his films. Except maybe “Get Him to the Greek” (mostly carried by supporting cast).
His acting was always the same “pretentious British douchebag”. Coincidentally also a pretentious British douchebag in person. In his sad excuse for comedy and standup. He’s the type of guy that thinks he is the smartest person in every room.
And now he’s a rapist, sexual predator and making friends with some of the scummiest people on this sad planet.
Apple standard is 6-7 years for latest OS support. My 2017 Intel MBP still going strong. Had one free battery replacement because this generation of MBPs plagued by quality control issues — butterfly kb, poor hinges, poor heat management, highly sensitive to dust.
Of course, it won’t get Sonoma but still very useful for occasional out of the home/office work (ie, airports, coffee shops, libraries, …). Plus since I mostly VPN into office/home assets, it’s more of a dumb terminal now and offload heavy workloads to beefier machines.
is that legally an executive team works for the shareholders. They must ensure shareholder return no matter what as they are in the hook for it.
Not an excuse for just blatantly fucking over the customers. By implementing this hostile pricing model, company is alienating their customers. Big game studios may or may not cough up the money (or just delay that payments and take Unity to court if threatened). Small companies will just not pay up and either kill their projects or redesign from the ground up using a diff engine. Indie devs will likely just use another engine all together.
It’s a clear money grab that will backfire on them (losing trust of an already small community, and thus money will slowly stop rolling in). Fucked by the loss of sales. Fucking over the shareholders and creating new bag holders. Only winners here are the insiders that dumped their shares before announcement.
seriously though - I have doubts that the largest producers of emissions (US, UK, China, Russia, …) will be able to meet reduction goals. Americans are hooked on energy produced via fossil fuels. O&G continues to fight for their existence, and fight against any regulation all in the name of profit. Americans (yes this includes Canadians) will refuse to change their 1950s way of living (high consumptions of meat, high dependency on car centric transportation, highways to fucking nowhere, …).

This idea of feeling safe is causing us to regress as a society. This “feature” is just discrimination wrapped in a nice sounding name — “Women Plus Connect” and UI.
We used to be able to identify the predators in our communities and do some sort of action: jail them, shame them, beat them up, whatever. Now we are using fear of them to perpetuate discrimination and AVOID them.

His most valuable lieutenants at Tesla and SpaceX had learned ways to deflect his bad ideas and drip-feed him unwelcome information, but the legacy employees at X didn’t know how to handle him.
Decades of propaganda painting the entire government as bad, deregulation, defunding, union busting, and lobbying in the capital have paid off for the private sector.
Companies can now promise to not do bad things. Because that worked out so well in the aftermath of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis…
The new company, ChargeScape, will create a platform that can be used by both utilities and EV owners to benefit from the expected surge in mobile batteries plugged into the grid.
I am imagining this scenario: “ChargeScape” will become the future “pharmacy benefit managers” between state and federal grid operators and power storage entities (ie, whether it’s from an EV or some independently owned array of storage cells).
They will handle and negotiate the deals between these 2 entities. You will have no say in this matter and “ChargeScape” will always be taking their % from the power YOU supplied to the grid.
The area you moved into has a number of fees and costs which make charging for the grid a loss operation? Too bad.
“Fuck you, pay me”
You didn’t charge your EV during the mandated time as laid out in the ChargeScape contract? Electrical company will now charge you a higher rate for that month to recoup costs of dealing with violation. Can’t afford it?
“Fuck you, pay me”
Didn’t meet the quota for the month? Here’s a violation fee for the month and an improvement plan has been generated. Failure to meet quota for 2 consecutive months results in higher rates. Can’t afford it?
AirDrop has a new NameDrop feature for quickly sharing contact information with a person nearby, and the Phone app has customizable Contact Posters that let you choose what people see when you call them
I wonder if this is a possible vector for a “1 tap” or “0 click” attack. NSO and other black hat security firms can’t wait 😂
Attacker:
setup malicious “contact poster”
call victim
victim gets malicious contact poster which is able to bypass security and achieve RCE
(putting my scum bag business exec hat on with obj to pump the numbers)
Because they want you to splurge on the highest tier phone.
Technically, I don’t see a reason what would prevent them from doing so. If Apple didn’t pair the components with the phone, there’s no reason why you couldn’t buy a broken pro max, swap out the camera on the pro, and have 5X Zoom
Wow, has it always been like this? I thought it was because of the exchange diff between USD and CAD, but I checked and it’s currently 1:1.35-6. So if translating the $1599 USD cost to CAD, it should be $2,168.06 for iPhone Pro Max 1TB

In a way, some states do have this. Texas for example has the “homestead tax exemption” which puts a cap on the tax burden increases when prop evals 📈. This is only applicable to one home for the family and they must reside in it. You can’t claim this exemption if you are renting it out or have a summer home in this state.

Use your vacation time and reset - travel, catch up with friends, go camping, visit family, talk with a therapist. Do whatever it is that makes you happy or to find happiness.
Once you reset, then make a decision whether you want to uproot your life to the Styx and pivot to something else.
Reminds me of Houston, TX in the aftermath of Harvey (2018). Our high dependency on unclean sources of energy is impacting everyone. Yet we continue to do nothing.
I recently switched my mail/domain from Google to name cheap. I’ve been keeping a critical eye on my junk mail as the spam filtering doesn’t seem as good....
I would suggest setting up DMARC, SPF, DKIM. I have it setup so mail servers would reject/drop e-mails if they do not originate from specific mail servers. If a spammer tried to send an e-mail like you describe then it would be rejected by my mail server or mail server provider.
most of the smart locks that are supposed to be drop in replacements for traditional locks are mostly trash.
Personally been eyeing upgrading to UI’s access readers, but it lacks features like door unlock with Apple Homekey (for now anyways since it requires some specialty hardware). So been holding off.
This particular product is geared towards small business and large enterprises. But can be setup for home usage if you have to technical expertise.
US needs to regulate how data is collected by all companies. This shit is just gross. Is this perhaps one of the reasons why right to repair is opposed so strongly across industries? In addition to selling overpriced manufacturer repair they don’t want us to cripple one of their revenue streams.
From what I understand, right to repair would give consumers and independent repair shops the ability to repair their items and grant them access to schematics/repair manuals, specialty tools, and parts.
In theory, this should make it easier to develop aftermarket parts. And for electronics and software, be able to develop drop in replacements, flash aftermarket hardware, and that function of the car should still work.
In this case car manufacturers don’t want people to rip out their embedded spyware and thus uncouple them from using their data collecting phone apps.
Currently aware of at least one report of a couple of car manufacturers backing some astroturfing groups to oppose right to repair [1]
I can see flooded EVs susceptible to electric shorting. But I haven’t read or seen any reports of combustion simply due to exposure from salt water. Maybe those vehicles were pierced by some object during hurricane?
Do you have a source?
Also modern ICE vehicles not immune to electrical shortages due to heavy water exposure. Most if not all have ECUs and other electronic equipment that is sensitive to water exposure.
