I suspect cigarettes generated a lot more litter but with a lot less precious metals in it

cancer of all modern religions

Meh, they're all pretty bad imo

Modern Religion is an oxymoron

as every accessory with a lightning port just became e-waste. I guess Mother Nature didn’t see that.

I think it's interesting that you see this as USB-C's fault.

If Apple had stuck to a standard connector they would have been on usb-c in a year or two anyway and none of that e-waste would exist.

Or if they went back on their word and switched to usb-c from lightning after a couple years, there would also be way less Lightning e-waste. What do you think happens to all those Lightning accessories when someone switches from iPhone to a different device?

Apple's proprietary Lightning connector is responsible for the e-waste, not USB-C or regulators.

These regulations will stop companies like Apple making proprietary connectors purely for profit that generate all the e-waste in the first place.

"I don't have any side projects so there's no reason you shouldn't pay me a living wage"

"Popular with locals:"

The 100+ people at the company are not responsible for what happened, the 2-3 people that should have dealt with it are.

That's not how businesses work.

Those 2-3 people were acting as employees of the company, executing business for the company. The company is responsible for those actions.

You can't just hand-wave it away as "our employees suck at their jobs".

You hired them. You authorized them to do those jobs. You are responsible for the manner in which they were done (or not done)

What really blows my mind is not that the lower-end models have USB2.0 speeds, but that all iPhones always have in the past.

Lighting truly was ancient.

Use KeePass.

My concern with using a text file is you have to defrost it to use it and whenever it's not encrypted it's potentially exposed. You are also vulnerable to keyloggers or clipboard captures

KeePass works entirely locally, no cloud. And it's far more secure/functional than a text file.

I personally use KeePass, secured with a master password + YubiKey.

Then I sync the database between devices using SyncThing over a Tailscale network.

KeePass keeps the data secure at rest and transferring is always done P2P over SSL and always inside a WireGuard network so even on public networks it's protected.

You could just as easily leave out the Tailscale/SyncThing and just manually transfer your database using hardware air-gapped solutions instead but I am confident in the security of this solution for myself. Even if the database was intercepted during transit it's useless without the combined password/hardware key.

I agree with that other reply.

Linus knew just enough to be dangerous.

My experience with most Windows users and their first encounter with using a Linux terminal is every single warning/error they see no matter how mundane is a big deal.

Things like the boot text or a random apt install on Linux will often display various warnings or even "errors" that are really of no concern but ime tend to freak out new users.

Linus is in that narrow band where he doesn't really know shit but knows just enough to be falsely confident and ignore all the warnings/errors instead of just the irrelevant ones

This is silly, it's much easier to bill their loved ones

Keep your dirty cross-origin paws off my pixels!

Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.

When I ask you for the logs I don't mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.

Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.

I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that's not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function in a text editor to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.

Please provide the entire log, this "helping" concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.

That's quite an understatement.

It has:

  • a new SOC
  • a new Southbridge
  • 5A USB-PD
  • a dedicated fan connector
  • a dedicated uart connector
  • 2 dual purpose DSI/CSU connectors (you can now use two displays or two cameras instead of one of each)
  • A PCIE FPC ribbon connector like the one used for DSI/CSI (you don't need a hat, just a ribbon) also the pi4 did not have any accessible PCIE lanes, only the cm4 did. Also the pi5 is capable of PCIE Gen3
  • More bandwidth for the usb3 connectors
  • more bandwidth for Wi-Fi (reports are it gets about double the bandwidth despite using the same Wi-Fi chip)
  • Fully SMD board, no through-hole components.

There's plenty of stuff I would have liked to see that didn't make it, but there definitely a lot more to it than an RTC and a power button. For $60 this is not a bad SBC at all.

I would have liked to see normal HDMI connectors, 2.5G Ethernet with PoE included, and higher RAM options.

More PCIe lanes would have been nice too but probably unlikely given the price point

It does support m.2 (and presumably other single-lane pcie devices via a HAT apparently.

So that's an improvement

Regulations didn’t make Apple change. A viable standard that met their requirements did.

I call bullshit.

USB-C has been around and better than Lightning for a long time, they didn't switch the iPhone to it until they were under pressure by regulators to do so.

If your theory were valid they would have switched many years ago.

Ok but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere

But it's worth noting that any emergency call that requires 2G to go through will still work.

Emergency calls will use any network they can reach, even if you disable it.

I have both set up right now.

Things I like better about KeePass:

KeePass doesn't use the cloud, you don't have to worry about the server getting compromised or going down because there's nothing public-facing to hack. You always know where your password database is.

KeePass lets you encrypt the database with not only the master password but also using the challenge-response from a YubiKey. That means every time you save your DB the encryption key is rotated and the DB is actually encrypted by two authentication factors.

While both can add custom fields to an entry, I like that KeePass has the option to set fields as protected so their contents are hidden like the passwords.

Things I like better about VaultWarden:

Convenience.

You can log in to your VaultWarden account on any device from the browser. KeePass requires some software to access the DB.

The VaultWarden companion software is just better. It just does autofill better. KeePassXC/DX work well but just not as well as the BitWarden software.

Other thoughts:

Syncing passwords between devices with KeePass requires 3rd party software like SyncThing. If you break/lose/etc your VaultWarden server you could lose all your passwords with it.

Always make/test backups.

USB-C was finalized 2 years later so the decade of Lighting e-waste is still on Apple for holding out as long as they did.

Maybe instead of designing a whole new Lightning connector they should have been pioneers and been one of the first to make a USB-C phone.

UGC = User-generated content

Not sure how that could mean anything except the ability to block users/posts

hundreds of dollars worth of equipment

My code may be stroganoff, but it's my stroganoff

Just be an immigrant and Desantis will use taxpayer money to illegally traffic you over state lines!

"poorly."

He may have eaten that billionaire, but it was for the good of the people so we're gonna let this one slide

I really love Kopia.

I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.

It's really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression algorithms and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage.

Snapshots are also effortless to mount and it even supports error correction to protect against bit-flipping and other long-term storage risks.

It's also cross-platform and FOSS.

De-duplication prevents duplicate bits of data from being stored twice. Even if they are different file names or even synced from different systems.

The rolling hash/file-splitting means if you modify a 25GB file and only change a couple MB then only the changed couple MB will need to be stored. This means you can spend a month modifying small parts of a massive file thousands of times and avoid storing a new 25GB file thousands of times to archive those changes.

Oh my sweet summer child

At least then there will be no more confusion over who's fault it is when your iPhone doesn't charge as fast as you'd like.

It's always been Apple's fault, but now there will be no more saying it's because Lightning is somehow better.

It's just dumb people playing on the fears of other dumb people.

Imagine you had no idea what an IP/MAC address or SSID was.

Then imagine Fox News start reporting that Mr Pillow's WMDs have found countless instances of voter fraud, show a big list of MAC addresses.

You'll easily have a large number of people convinced they've seen indisputable proof of voter fraud all over the country

I use fennec from F-droid on mobile

Those poor court stenographers

Imagine if we like really did "drain the swamp" and suddenly started holding all these fucks accountable and just replaced them all with people who will really work for our best interests?

If they kept the 30-pin for another year or two they could have been one of the first with USB-C and it would have been good for two decades or more and we wouldn't be having this discussion

Yay basic formatting.

Keep should have had MarkDown support from the start

If California is anything like Massachusetts then it's a bit more complicated.

Over there several towns and cities have decriminalized and it's on the state ballot much like California, but cannabis dispensaries in those towns and cities are already "gifting" mushroom chocolates and such to customers.

The law says they can't sell it yet but they still manage to get it into the hands of paying customers
