I agree - I am running my own Samba server and I don't think I'm affected, but it isn't really clear to me how to double check or why Apple's new default broke things in the first place

Also hoping that this work continues and tooling is made available. I suppose eventually someone could even make a wrapper around it that implements Docker's remote API

Not to mention, Proxmox does not support running Docker in an LXC officially (of course many users still do it). It is not a supported configuration as of now

> Detaching and reattaching EBS volumes can take 10s for healthy volumes to 20m for failed ones

Is there a source for the 20m time limit for failed EBS volumes? I experienced this at work for the first time recently but couldn't find anything documenting the 20m SLA (and it did take just about 20 full minutes).

I haven't seen any in depth performance comparisons, but I had also started to dig into this and I was leaning towards using Scrypted instead of the HomeBridge plugin. Just wanted to name-drop them for others also interested in all this

Right? It would be great if I could plug a USB-C cable into 2 ports on my Mac and it could figure out what the cable is capable of

Fair enough. My apologies. It was quite a vague statement to make at it's best

From what I have seen that is not the case. The AirPods nor connected iPhones are interacting with the other person’s at all.

If you think those 2 things are even close to comparable I've got a bridge to sell you

Would you be open to dropping an email address? I'd love to chat about your experience with Elixir for financial applications if you have any time

I don’t have to auth on my phone every time. I suspect maybe I do for the first time I use this feature for that boot of my phone, but I haven’t confirmed that yet. This would be useless if you had to auth on the phone every single usage

That was the first thing I checked, and it looks like they’re using some existing python package to parse docx files. I wonder if they contributed to it or vetted it strongly

I suppose the difference is 1st party support for creating the audiogram, plus the clearance from the US gov to market it the way they want as OTC hearing aids

I wonder if the flag gets reset every so often if the device doesn't think it's in the US for a long period of time. I've heard Apple considered that for some of the other EU restrictions

Because you'll have users who do it by accident and lose basic hardware functionality of their device without knowing how to fix it

The $15 makes this pretty hard to scale too. The link someone posted was $0.05/request. I'd love to see how/where you can get this data in bulk from a primary source.

Uhh this seems like a big fact to gloss over, and something I am quite surprised by. Could you point to any examples as I’m having a hard time finding anything available publicly from any DMVs/states
