I think helsing and or andruil do?

I don’t really have experience running anything like this so this is very much a comment front the peanut gallery but

Is that really the best way to do things? I’m not really sure what an agent offers here does it just look at logs and do actions? I would not really feel safe if that’s my service’s answer to security.

I could see it maybe as a really smart filter to block ips that are sending probing requests but I don’t really see that as a good reason to have an agent be sitting 24/7 looking at logs.

Not sure why this is being downvoted so hard. More than the ui ux experience the damn thing just freezes and needs to be restated regardless of the phone being used. Subaru outsourced their software and it shows.

I don’t think that’s fair. IMO I think they’re concerned that there might be precedent for current for future models to do things untoward to the user. Of course there’s no proof of this or anything I think they’re just preparing in a case where Chinese models do extract or harvest data even when self hosted. Given they have an internet connection of course

But consumer perception matters. When a person engages with a product a social contract is formed. If it’s broken as the case here, I think it’s reasonable that they fight back. They have an expectation is privacy and it wasn’t upheld regardless of what the TOS says or how the tech works. This probably ends with a warning in new sessions like the McDonald’s hot coffee warning.

Note that I’m not arguing if it’s right or wrong idk on that front

not quite, you're missing some crucial points. "Apple should be able to be dramatically more perfect than anyone else in software has managed to be" is off by a lot

1. Much of the software I interact with is bad.

2. I’ve had better luck with Apple software but I’d still categorize it as “bad” relative to the good software I’ve interacted with.

This is a form for software engineers. In the 90’s users accepted things like applications crashing due to lack of memory protection in the OS. We know to expect better.

Again I’m not asking for some alternate reality version of software. I’m asking them to fix clear issues that they do not seem to care about.

Not to mention Apple is a large engineering organization with plenty of talent. The software dosent need to be bug free but I shouldn’t run into as many issues as I do.

Some other fun ones: Finder locking up and refusing to minimize

FaceTime putting me in a call with “testing” when I switch devices

Safari’s extension icon flashing on and off on iOS

Stalling on the lock screen despite me looking directly at the phone to unlock it

To me these are issues that should not make it past the engineers and layers of testing.

I don’t think this is unreasonable do you?

I don’t really think it’s something to agree or not agree on. This is the experience I’ve had as an Apple user. I use their products extensively and like them quite a bit. The issues I’ve seen I deem unacceptable for a company of this caliber. I’m not talking about .6 seconds of load time or absolute customization. I’m talking about FaceTime actually switching when I click the button. Apple Music not leaking memory. Basic usability not niche items.

Now unfortunately apples stuff is usually a cut above other software I’ve used but in my opinion is nowhere near as good as it should be.

I disagree. They deserve the criticism. Among things software is one of the few things we should get correct.

I don’t think anyone is asking for the world I just want software that dosent crash and makes sense to use.

Just a couple weeks ago Apple Music was leaking GBs of memory.

I feel bad for your employer

I’m not really sure why this is surprising at all. Isn’t steam based on web tech? If anything I think the comparison should be on features and experience. I don’t think it’s that hard to make something launch faster than steam. I do think it’s hard to make a better experience than steam.

The big thing for me is the liveness is completely gone or at least can be. In a regular box I can at least poke around at the facilities even if the process dies. I don’t think it’s impossible I just think it’s a hard problem I don’t see emphasized enough.

As mentioned before on this topic. What about debug ability? An application overflow now corrupts part of the network stack.

In an oxide episode there were some mentions of reading off data lines but I just don’t think that’s practical.

The reduced attack service is cool but not at the expense of my visibility and liveness of the system

Commenting about the unique compensation to ruin someone’s bingo card :)

This is very cool! What do you use for payment processing? Also what’s the site it love to check it out. Not really into mushrooms but I love a good hand made ecommerce site!
