There's a more subtle form of 'make' where you set conditions to induce a result. The fact is, giving anything away for free will increase its consumption.

OLED already works very well for TVs and other big screens; MicroLED would need to push into that market and prove its value against OLED. And OLED tech will not stand still while MicroLED catches up.

MicroLED needs market niches with lots of manufacturing volume to scale up and improve or they'll never get to a position where they can challenge OLED.

Google only pays because Firefox has enough users to justify it. If enough users switch to Chrome because of broken Google-owned websites, why would they keep paying?

Perhaps LLM creators will start using ablation as the censorship method instead of a refusal

I took a look at freeSWITCH's site and it looks like they got bought out. Their documentation is a total mess because the acquiring company has imported lots of wiki pages without much care for how they fit together.

Food is parceled out so a small amount of food bank fraud creates a slightly smaller parcel for everyone, in the case where food is limited. If fraud rates are small, the cost to everyone is trivial; if fraud rates are zero, the costs get piled onto a few unfortunate souls who couldn't pass the test despite actually needing help.

I think the current title is mistaken, the twitter user isn't claiming he can't use the Apple TV, he's just saying the message appears.

I encountered the same message when iOS 16 had just released and wasn't available on my iPad yet. It wasn't a blocking message, pressing "OK" was enough to make it go away, and when iPadOS 16 finally came out I was able to clear it.

It's bad UX but the Apple TV can still be used as before.

That sounds interesting, could you share the script?

I've encountered a few obvious login attempts like that, but since they come from a broad pool of IPs it's not something fail2ban can easily handle without collateral damage.

"The sanctions" in this context being Russia's refusal to supply gas to Europe. The EU has not sanctioned Russian energy because they are dependent.

The demand isn't being made to the product side; Discord and other chat clients already have a chat API which their clients authenticate and talk to, it's all already built and user-facing. They already distrust their clients. They already made everything a third party client would need.

It's a policy change, not a product change, and demanding a company adjust their bad policy is totally normal.

I understand it sucks to hear that people are mistreated, but at least you do hear about it.

The new law has legalized an existing abuse - police threatening concerned observers who are recording - so I suppose you could say it's no longer abuse. Compelling stuff!
