After switching to Tuxedo OS recently, I'm firmly in the camp that MS and Apple have some catching up to do. The simple desktop customization out of the box is awesome, does things I couldn't getting Windows to do even using desktop enhancement apps. Also less disjointed all around on the settings side. That's not even getting into 'power user' options like changing out window mangers. Just need mainstream support.

Login has a very enter your username and password to proceed connotation. That is very different then authentication, which can be through any number of methods of identifying the requestor. Is using a pre-established trust relationship to access an API endpoint a login? I'd have to argue that it isn't, but does require an authentication request be fulfilled. I'd similarly argue that permissions make sense when talking about user access to a frontend. It doesn't make sense when talking about two backend services that have no user interaction. Basically authorization and authentication are more general terms in software and should be as such. Hearing login and permissions makes me immediately assume some level of user interaction is required to access functions of an application.

Even though it's an Apple product, it's essentially a high priced tech demo. Really hard to get developers to invest into creating software for a niche product in a walled garden. The Vision Pro is a big step up in VR, but ROI in VR software is hard to come by. Being a brand new space for Apple and zero install base, its hard to prioritizing this as a developer. This really is a prototype halo product. It won't sell millions of units by design. Apple will lose money on it, but they will also wow people and build an ecosystem for version 2. Developing for version 1 isn't going to pay off for years, assuming there is a version 2 for the masses. If there is a version 2, even at $1500, developers will be jumping on board with real development. Not just tech demos and ports like most of VR.

A Tesla Model 3 is just over $30,000 after taxes rebates. Several other cars in the around $30000 range of look and don't want a Tesla. If your bank won't approve that loan, your not in the market for any newer vehicle. EVs are too new to get a beater..... So yeah, sorry they, and most like all but the cheapest newer car is out of your price range.

Would be a shame to to lose that gas station culture. Where is else can I possibly all the worlds vises under one roof. Dinosaur goo, check. Tobacco, check. Gambling, check. Sugar coated sugar wrapped in sugar, check. Anything good for your body or the planet..... Hmm, might be a week old Apple next to the shrink wrapped sandwich.

Ford is losing double for every EV truck they sell. Why? Total and complete lack of innovation, both on design and manufacturing of the vehicle. It's a F150 with batteries and a frunk. While the Cybertruck has a polarizing design, it's a true electric vehicle from the ground up both in design and manufacturing. Nobody wants an F150, that happens to be electric at a huge price premium. They want an electric vehicle, designed and manufactured as an electric vehicle. The Big 3 are constantly complaining about the increased manufacturing cost of electric, which is true when you continue to build them the same way you have since the 80s. Don't make 18 trim levels, while charging extra for basic features like cruise control. Make a simple, easily producible, reliable vehicle and you can sell a shitload at a profit, electric or not. Improving the manufacturing process and supply chain is the only way this happens. Keep making overly complicated shit for prices nobody can afford and your only hope of profitably is taking out of tax payers pockets. Personally, Tesla is the only vehicle I'll consider that's been produced in the last decade.... they are the one company I have any confidence will be around in a decade to support it the way legacy auto is fucking up right now.

So looking at the consumer survey, Tesla ranks 29th with a 88.6% satisfaction rating. Show me any industry outside of automotive where 88.6% isn't a score a company would kill to have. Simple fact is cars, being as expensive as they are, better be damn good to stay in the market. People expect a lot from what is generally the second biggest purchase in there life, outside of a house.

Linus Tech tips did a Tesla review not too long ago, as not being a car enthusiast/reviewer, I found a few things that I thought were interesting he said in contrast to car reviewer. One was how little it bothered him, from an average consumer perspective, that gaps between panels weren't a consistent 2mm (or whatever the standard spec is) everywhere on the car. As long as they aren't noticeably gapping, causing noise going down the road or some other defect this is only a problem for people that spend too much time thinking about cars. Paint not 100% is along the same lines. I may notice a small defect scrutinizing the car on deliver, but as long as it is functionally good I'm going to forget there's a hair the paint the second I stomp on gas. I know it's a reviewers job to nitpick a product, anymore with the competitiveness of most markets that may be all that separates products. As consumers you really have to ask yourself if you really care. Marginal panel alignment, don't care. Wheel falls off, not going to be buying it.

Per protocol all high level government electronics are encrypted and only accessible through 2 factor authentication. They have the hardware, but not the data. You can be absolutely sure nobody elected to the highest offices in the America would do anything to put our country at risk currumventing security for their own convenience. Security is of the utmost importance atfer all. Nope we're screwed.

He never directly states that they are being charged based on revenue, just that what Apple is trying to charge works out to 15-30% of their revenue. It's sort of splitting hairs, but something that is pretty much a problem with any business that relies on larger businesses. For instance a small Architecture firms pay a much larger portion of the their revenue each year for software license than larger firms that use the exact same software but can better utilize their licenses and be eligible to receive volume discounts or other perks. The Apple Store, not that it's uniquely Apple, are notoriously harsh on startups since the percent they take for distribution is often larger the smaller the business is. There are some business for this, like a customer that brings in $10,000 may have as much or more overhead than one that brings in $1,000,000 so it makes sense for Apple to incentivize large customers. To that smaller customer any such reason it pretty well mute though, it's making it harder for them to keep the lights on. Not trying to excuse Apple with some of their practices, they have proven repeatedly that their business practices are shady at best, just not can't really say they are singling this guy out any more than anyone else.

Anyone else having trouble finding a use case for a wireless network with super short range, no material penetration and speeds that are far faster than 99.9% of cell phone users actually need? Outside of a feature to selling phones to under educated consumers what purpose does 5G actually serve over existing 4G networks? I may cynical but would actually love to see a good argument for why this in a good thing. I could possibly see a use case for very dense concentrations of people like convention centers, stadiums and the like, but as for a reason any needs this walking around on the street I'm at a loss.

Exactly, and in typical Rockstar fashion PC release a good year or more after the console for reasons that are more and more non-existent. An online mode that will never really be complete or cohesive, but a cobbled together mess of features in endless DLC. A launcher that becomes more and more bloated, with RDR2 type troubles with each release. All the pessimist in me coming out. Hope I'm mostly wrong with those predictions.... sadly still think they are mostly spot on.

I find it funny that they want Facebook to truth check political adds and censor them, but they have never had any problem with political adds lying on Television. The mud slinging that these people engage in to get elected is shameful. Only difference is the source of the lies and who endorses them.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=... This is why 5g is useless. Also who actually has any use for 1gigabit download speeds on their damn phone.

This is pretty much old news, nothing new for AMD Pro processors. It is a neat feature, but not as ground breaking as this article insinuates. This is really just a new line to get the Pro in line with 3000 processors.
