Nothing about Apple has changed. They make incredible hardware, and their CPUs are really good. Just that Apple enthusiasts put them on a pedestal thinking they are one of a kind.

There were just another company, doing a lot of good things, and also doing a lot of bad things. Most people were willingly ignoring the bad parts until now.

How is this any different than terra, sol etc or leopard, yosemite etc, or model x, y, 3, s ..

Dont companies always talk in private? Like, Apple having a business meeting with Meta is not nefarious nor out of the ordinary. Companies coordinate on things all the time. Why is that surprising to you?

Isnt it about risk?

Just because you saw your friend move to a new country for a job doesnt mean you will make the same choices, even if you are similarly qualified.

I think the confusion is lot of Apple enthusiasts drank the kool-aid the company served them saying touch screen is "yuck". And now they have a touch screen, it takes a while to re-orient themselves.

We saw this with foldables. It was a bad idea, but when Apple did it, it was a great idea all of a sudden.

And if you rewind a while back, you'll see "large phones are bad because one handed use .. blah blah" and then Pro Max.

I really really love uv but this uv-ty post seems "shipping the org chart"?

They could have just said uv now has type chancing capabilities (or whatever it is ..) ty afaik isn't a super popular brand so the post makes people first understand what ty is ..

Why do they need to even do that? They already know the link from the email body. This is some urban myth.

If it is for click tracking there are far efficient ways to do that.

You do realize all companies, including the most "moral" companies advertise - like Apple?

If you self host, why does it matter if it is E2E? What's your threat model?

What you need is encryption at rest yes?

Google PMs catching strays lol.

Is it that easy at these companies to change policies like these?

Ternus seem to be a lot more personable. On the flip side, the most you circulate the less elevated you become.

> a session lasts a given number of seconds, then the kernel returns to the loader and hands over its log.

What does this? You can only 'use the device' for x seconds before ..shutting down?

I know what you're getting at, and I agree DNS is simple for folks who hang out in HN but at its core DNS is pretty complicated.

Try explaining top level authoritives, ttl, DoH etc etc to a lay person. Yes, it is example.com in, a.b.c.d out but it is anything but simple.

My larger point is calling "phone book" doesnt make DNS dumb.

There is nothing 'dumb' about DNS. It is a 'sophisticated software to translate human readable addresses to machine-understandable and infinitely routable identifiers'.

Anything can be reduced down to 'dumb' if you try hard enough. Officer, these are just chemicals in a specific quantity and just goes boom when mixed together.
