Weird take, credit card debt is much more of a risk to that demographic than debit cards ever will be

Must be nice to work under the eternal threat of being laid off on a whim.

It's annoying that smart plugs/bulbs etc use wifi when Powerline exists

I don't understand why powered IoT devices (lightbulbs, switches etc) don't use powerline for network access.

No BS here. The _average_ house price in Auckland is 1 million dollars. How long does it take to save a 20% deposit on 150k in a HCOL country? And 150k is generally a senior level wage, no one in NZ is starting on 150k

Why's it difficult for techies to accept a lower quality of life (when it's completely unnecessary)?

For me, having to log in to multiple AWS accounts, Firefox containers are a killer feature

This is why you need older programmers, protection from the hubris of youth

That generally prevents epidemics, yes.

I think I've commented before on this but I've had great success using VSCode Remote Containers. Essentially using the M1 as a frontend to an x86 environment.

Works great and I can move between a local and cloud servers depending on requirements

I'm a full-stack/devops generalist with 20+ years experience weighted more towards DevOps/Backend development. I believe knowledge across a broad range of technologies brings a deeper vertical understanding of each specific stack. More than happy to learn new technologies.

I get this on my M1 Air, maybe once or twice a week.

I use a Magic trackpad, and when it occurs the built-in trackpad still works fine.

To fix it I disable Bluetooth on the M1, then re-enable and everything is fine again.

This lead me to believe it was related to the Bluetooth stack, but if people are experiencing it while using built-in trackpad if be interested to know if my workaround still fixes it.

We did both, customer got an iso image with a single line install command. The installer would automatically download all the docker containers and lock the system down.

Since this was the customer’s initial impression (and we wanted the IT gatekeepers to be happy), we strove to get installation as close to turn-key as possible

It's funny you mention WAF because that's exactly what kept me away from 1password.

I loved almost everything about 1P but their reluctance to authenticate with keychain means it's a PITA for me, and an absolute deal breaker for my wife.

Has this changed or do you still have to enter your 1P password every time you log in or your session times out?

Exactly! When it comes to home media I prefer the Linux model of small utilities connected by pipes.
