That and their foray into crypto, both easily and permanently disabled with clearly labeled toggles along with all telemetry.

Most AWS docs are over-engineered marketing designed to get you to pull in 8 other billable services just to use the one you wanted in the first place.

Knowing how to decipher their docs and navigate support is a resume-worthy skill.

The Eufy SmartTrack card is great! Mine is non-rechargeable and going on year 3. They have released a rechargeable version called the “E30”.

Honestly, not well. It’s hard to articulate to a 4 year old that people like us are hiding for fear that they’ll be taken by “army men”

Accurate, if even a bit softer than how it really is.

I never felt unsafe in my west side Chicago community until the Black Hawks started doing daily intimidation runs. Until they abducted community members who were out working one day, gone the next.

I used to push a wagon with side pockets full of bubbles, snacks, and toys. Now there’s fewer toys to make room for gas masks for kids and adults.

Chicago is a tough town. People here are doing an amazing job restraining themselves and others. I’ve heard on more than one occasion people in crowds reminding one another to not give them reason to pull in the Guard.

This will likely not be the case forever.

More people need to see what’s happening here. This is not sustainable; generational harm is being inflicted on those directly targeted and those who seethe with anger and have to explain to kids why their friends aren’t around anymore.

In some cases, sure. My anecdote:

Electric car. Horn keeps failing. $15 part, $900 to do the work. Why? Because to get to the horn, the entire front end of the car has to be disassembled, including the hood, bumper, fenders, you name it.

My fuel car’s horn assembly is easily accessed through the engine bay with a single bolt to remove it.

Efficiencies in one area seem to have led to extraordinarily difficult repair abilities elsewhere.

I won’t even go into how the air filters are replaced — but it starts with removing the dashboard…

Same; I switched to ControlD when it appeared NextDNS was on autopilot without support or fixes.

Withings makes smartwatches that do not scream Apple Watch

All the takes on this release miss one crucial point: if you want people to adopt E2E encryption, you must reduce friction. For users of Gmail, that means familiar elements and flow to their usual use of Gmail. If this lets even a handful of people use more secure messaging, it’s a win. For Google workspace-centric orgs it’s a good step in the right direction.

If you disagree, go set up GPG on a non-tech’s computer, tell them they need to use Thunderbird or some other helper app(s), and see if you can even go home before being asked to remove it all.

There isn’t. Your software is incorrectly flagging it. Please don’t make accusations without proper vetting.

It does not. If you believe otherwise, elaborate on your claim.

This seems less like professional speaking and more like preemptive feelings management.

As a gen-x’er, I find myself having to navigate these waters often as directness is likened to being unnecessarily aggressive, rude, inappropriate, etc.

I would never speak like this and would quickly disabuse others using this style of speech. You’ll do more harm trying to be saccharine than just saying what you mean in an appropriate tone.

“Aspirational sugar” is as common in startup culture as in Fortune 500 sales contracts, they’re just messaged and “de-risked” differently.
