We also experienced similar delays but Yubi was straight up with the expectation that it was going to be 8-12weeks.

I’ve reduced 99% of tech calls from elderly family(60s-80s) by moving them to either ChromeOS/Android or MacOS/IOS and all printers to Brother lasers. If they spend money on phones I lean toward Apple ecosystem. If they penny pinch - Google is king with all second hand Samsung galaxy/books, Dell enterprise chromebooks, or chromeboxes - making sure to verify years of support. It also makes it significantly easier to not mix ecosystems. I then set updates to automatic and make ublockorigin default in the browser. The last 7 years nearly every issue was resolved with a restart.

Reading this article and the comments is frustrating given everything about these infotainment systems has been the same for 10+ years with very little improvements. Its embarrassing an iPad from 2012 can out perform these multi-thousand dollar car systems in both UX and speed. I was hoping the tesla experience would light a fire in traditional car companies making it more a priority but here we are basically just using the system as a screen to project our phones “car mode”. If it were possible I would rather buy a car with a floating usb-c mount for a tablet than pay 5k for an expensive system that I “basically” only use the display to mirror my phone.

My PoR: I use ford sync 3.x daily and recently used several popular models of Subaru, Hyundai, Dodge, and Porsche.

I believe they did an encoding(Morse code or something) in the lyrics to prove google was using them verbatim.

They are selling miniature replicas of the products as "toys" for 40$.

My problem with the get your own domain and DNS is its far more likely I become incapacitated and become unable to pay or manage it than getting locked out of gmail or outlook mailboxes.

Recently its been niche discords. I’ve had a bit of luck being able to find and converse with people behind some popular things.

Most of the responses here do a really great job at pointing out the flaws of this project. My biggest gripe is it currently has no plans to be integrated by default. So just like all the other package management tools for windows the tool itself is a prereq requiring another hoop. If I have to deal with more configuration management to install this from the app store I’d rather use chocolaty at least that can be installed reliably.

The Code execution vulns for both OSX and Win10 probably. In windows clicking a UNC path link would pass hashs. I believe for OSX there was an installer trick that allowed any code to run if triggered.

Pretty sure the kits they are referring to are “unfinished or 80% lowers” which become functioning with a trivial amount of drilling and cutting and are essentially sold as raw material instead of a part.

The Sony z series RJ45 hinge was just a bad design. Having used other brands that have this style port specifically the Dell latitude 7490 they function much better. Dell will likely continue to have a laptops with dedicated rj45 ports for a long time at least on business models.

What happens if i created a device that has multiple speakers and through a software update I make one an (albeit)poor quality mic? Do I need to tell you before hand that this was possible? Are they still considered speakers?

Although personally I’ve never had it happen, I work closely with our support team who handles these issues. It happened to around 5% of staff towards the 4th year of use and about 100% more on the 5th year. Majority shut off and never came back on. A small percentage were able to turn on and we could retrieve all the useful data after a clone. Thankfully we have a policy that critical things should never be keep local.
