Impressive that he had the tools to flash the chip but it’s absolutely ridiculous that HP and all companies in general can get away with this sort of nonsense, voiding the warranty should be an easy small claims court appeal.

The subtitled video doesn't say anything about ethnic cleansing, the minister says he would like to see those who were exiled from Gaza in 2005 returned and allow Jews to live there again. He makes no mention of displacing the current population.

Article is paywalled but the healthcare system is death by a thousand cuts, there's no one boogeyman to blame, it's a very classic tragedy of the commons. Anyone claiming they've found the root cause of the broken healthcare system is selling you a bill of goods.

Yup I have mild ADHD and as the day wears on I find it harder to do this subconsciously. I need to start making a conscious effort to focus only on the person I’m speaking with and not the cross conversation happening at the same table.

> I'm not sure if their diagnostics sucks, or I'm just a normal person and others pretend better that they hear everything well

This is one of those frustrating gaslighting things that is half true in that half the time I also pretend to hear what someone else is saying even though I couldn’t just because it’s not really important and making a big deal about it (ie asking them to repeat it at continuously louder decibels) can get awkward.

Same as always, apply. Specifically with OS stuff you’ll need to show an aptitude for it, easiest way is if you’re already a college grad and you took an OS design track. If you’re self taught, it’s much harder to prove you have the basics down, so as another person suggested, contribute to OSS projects, which also sounds daunting, but unlike web dev, OS dev is not somewhere where it’s ok to be mediocre.

> I just wish Microsoft could get their act together on their OS and release a Surface Phone

MS has given up on mobile as a OS or device category. In fact I’d argue MS has given up on the entire OS sector, as a revenue stream Windows is increasingly less relevant to their bottom line. They only see windows as a way to bring other applications (read: advertising) to their users but not as a means unto itself. Ask yourself, what new OS features has ms released since windows 10 that is more than UI changes, or applications that aren’t really a core part of the OS? Adding dark mode or tabs to notepad are not real features that anyone needs.

The truth is that the OS has gotten so complicated and it’s nearly impossible to find competent talent that is excited about OS design and development so it’s barely possible to just keep the OS up to date with the latest hardware, there’s simply no time or effort available for new development.

This article is interesting but when we’re talking about design elements I think it’s always a good idea to include some actual demos or examples showing the final result and not just the “code”. I might also not be the target audience but I still don’t understand what container queries are or what old paradigm they’re replacing. The author does a good job explaining the difference between border-radius and the old way of using photoshop, but fails to do that for the features that he’s trying to promote.

> In fact, recently they asked to renegotiate the contract due to some obsolescence and we ended up significantly dropping the bill as a result. Kind of backfired on them, I wonder if the account manager is kicking herself for this.

Only if the cost of supporting the depreciated feature was less than the delta.
