The difference is very simple:

Apple uses the derivative (i.e. rate of change) of acceleration, while all the other (ineffective, in my experience) third-party apps simply use acceleration.

People with motion sickness can deal with speed just fine. While relaxing on an equatorial beach, you’ll have no qualms hurtling around the poles at 1600 km/h.

Acceleration is also perfectly fine for motion sickness. Most people are being pulled towards the centre of the earth at 1.0 G with no complaints whatsoever.

But the significance during motion sickness is the rate of change of the rate of change. That thing where the vehicle slows down, turns a corner, goes over a bump.

This is why Apple’s motion cues actually work, because they use what actually matters for motion sickness.

Here’s the thing. That SSD controller is the interface between you and those blocks.

If it decides, by some arbitrary measurement, as defined by some logic within its black box firmware, that it should stop returning all blocks, then it will do so, and you have almost no recourse.

This is a very common failure mode of SSDs. As a consequence of some failed blocks (likely exceeding a number of failed blocks, or perhaps the controller’s own storage failed), drives will commonly brick themselves.

Perhaps you haven’t seen it happen, or your SSD doesn’t do this, or perhaps certain models or firmwares don’t, but some certainly do, both from my own experience, and countless accounts I’ve read elsewhere, so this is more common than you might realise.

Excuse me? The only way you would be able to come to this conclusion is if you did no reading whatsoever and never tried it.

This “confidently wrong” attitude really needs to stop.

Not an answer to your question, but an indicator of shared culture: Tesla vehicles also don’t support IPv6 whatsoever.

Things you might use an internet connection for in your Tesla include triggering air con remotely, live traffic and satellite maps, streaming music or online radio, web browsing, or YouTube/Netflix/Disney+ clients.

It completely refuses to use IPv6 over mobile or wi-fi. Also it refuses to access anything over IPv4 (apart from DNS) which resolves to an RFC1918 address, even if it's connected to said RFC1918 network.

So yes, Starlink and Tesla are different companies, but I see cultural parallels which I'm sure surprises nobody.

Not the O.P., but speaking from experience, yes, a thousand times yes.

Here in Sydney, Australia, both office and WFH are available at my work. I'll have anywhere between 0% and 90% of my team in the office depending on the day or week.

In my experience, even being the only one in the office is a thousand times better than WFH.

Whether teammates are WFH affects me less than whether I'm WFH.

Considering you're commenting in an international forum, what is "this country"?

DisplayPort does audio.

Can confirm.

I was visiting a nature reserve where the trail opened to a resting area with some seats. A tree had a woodcut QR code on it, so I thought I'd scan it to find out more about the area.

Turns out, the QR code linked to some tracking site with a short URL. Even worse, the short URL had since been deleted, so I have no way to know the original URL it went to.

TAFE anecdote time!

In my TAFE class, I was asked to list two examples of operating systems.

I listed Linux and eComStation. The teacher had never heard of eComStation and marked me wrong.

Refused to correct my mark even when I proved him right. I'm still bitter about it a decade later.

> This is very clear in the article: poor transportation from where they can afford to live to the expensive area around the station.

This is precisely why I'm saying the article doesn't make sense: how about exploring the idea of building the LRT in the non-gentrified areas, i.e. where you would supposedly put your bus routes.

This is a lengthy article, yet the author fails to address any of the concerns he claims to be countering.

He claims only the rich use light rail. But what is it about a light rail that causes a poor person to look at it and walk away deciding it's not for them? It simply doesn't make sense. Build LRT to a poor area, people will use it.

He then shows an infographic of a hypothetical city covered in bus routes, alongside the same city covered by one LRT route through a gentrified area. This is unfair. How about comparing equivalent LRT routes with bus routes?

Money sunk into buses is money no longer spendable on LRT.

There's an infographic that shows bus route ridership compared to LRT route ridership but we learn only the what, not the why.

Also, the article makes no mention whatsoever of Melbourne, an example of LRT working very well for over a century.

I'm disappointed to say that I learned exactly nothing reading the article.

While can't comment on whether it is as repetitive, I would point out that the commonality between baroque and pop music are their simplicity and emphasis on chord changes at their core.
