half tongue-in-cheek, half kinda serious: on the up side, if any SWEs in the US used the very high pay as a reason to not consider other countries, now there’s one less reason to stick around (the last year was a very big motivator for me to get finances sorted out)

I’m afraid they’re going to push much more aggressively into services upsells and ad revenue if hardware sales start slipping

The last few years of them having upsells to paid services to built-in apps (News+ in Stocks and Weather apps) and the rumors of a Health+ service have me very concerned. Also the paid prioritization in Maps search.

it’s incredible they spend more outrage on the LLM when really it should be pointed at comma.ai, which sells a device that bangs out commands to drive cars over an interface not really designed for that usecase

And the solution to an executively flagrantly disregarding laws is impeachment. An authority that Democrats also have the ability to kick off even as the minority party. As my representative, are you going to work on that, or just push tweets?

The last thing I did before selling my car was change all the preset radio stations to cooler stations, so the 22 year old buying it though I was still with it.

It's really doing a good job exposing how lazy a lot of people are... Just because a document gets "written" doesn't mean it's accurate or that it's even done correctly, but people see a 500KB document and go "well that's done!". I'm so tired of people pasting unreviewed paragraphs into Slack.

Apple has a very-well-established “fuck you” stance when things go awry so I can see why someone would want to play it safe with the cell modem, especially if they only upgrade every few years.

Lmao @hackadayofficial.bsky.social has completely lost the plot. In the desperate search for click revenue, they’re defending the Raspberry Pi’s ban on hacking up your own Pi.

this was <$500 in claude tokens. the codebase isn’t complicated so the historical “why” is the important part. but claude has been able to figure that out now im thinking… is my primary output going to be hitting enter, running meetings, and workplace social networking for the rest of my career? 😐

I’ve been at a new job for a couple months and I’m feeling weird about where software dev is going. AI made it pretty easy to pick up the codebase quickly and I was able to summarize a bunch of history in a timeframe that’d normally a few more months… but like, where do we go from here lol

seems to happen to every tech blog. lock in on something to the point where reality doesn’t matter because clicks are king. ArsTechnica became pretty unbearable with Gitlin’s obsessions.

i disagree with the linked blog post’s “just sandbox it harder” solution for keeping the harness when the more correct solution in this case would be to just dump it

you can safely ignore anyone claiming to be a journalist who uses the term “ai datacenter”. it’s a term used more often to hype one’s own brand/substack than actually describe what’s happening (there’s a more accurate term less rooted in clickbait: just plain “datacenter”)

its crazy how dumb a lot of distros are being with barring AI I imagine some the people opposed to AI would’ve been the same people arguing to have “distro_version_2_REALLY_FIXED_now” folders everywhere instead of using a SCM.

I wonder if someone could lodge a lawsuit against the government by saying they were harmed after not getting their $12k. Probably would be a stretch but it’d be amusing.

I use whatever Kensington’s TB4 dock is and whatever Caldigit’s TB4 dock is. Both have worked very well over the last couple years for me. I use a vertical macbook holder for my work laptop and haven’t had much issue.
