Yandex’s parent holding company was Dutch, and Nebius is now the same. A lot of their employees were effectively transferred between the two. Nebius is basically still just Yandex, just rebranded and legally a different entity.

It’s also by many accounts a bit of a weird company to work for, but they can afford to pay above-market for many roles.

This is why we don’t use Mythos/Fable-series models at $WORK (hosted on Vertex).

Mollie doesn't resell Adyen, nor does it rely on Adyen's banking license.

> also sends gray bubbles

Incoming messages are _always_ gray on iOS, irrespective of the use of iMessage or SMS. Your solution is not any different in this regard.

> Everything that isn’t a MacBook will be more expensive than a MacBook

Unrelated, but never thought I’d see this kind of sentiment

Weird to raise $100M and not announce it for almost a year, imo. But the fund leading the round is also crypto-focussed, which doesn’t seem like it would go down well with large swathes of the user base.

It is - you’re not trained to upsell, only to give the customer what they need to do what they want.

Can be a little annoying (an employee actively tried to downsell my partner, even though they knew what they wanted), but overall it’s a nice practice.

This. You can’t downgrade below the version the device ships with (a forked build of the current version at time of mass production)

Yes - all ABM accounts are Managed Apple Accounts, not Personal ones. You can’t mix and match (they each have different features).

angulardragon03 — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:15:48 +0000

I use a Mac because I have no desire to maintain a Linux box. The software I want is all there, it has a great *nix terminal, and the hardware quality is second to none. I work with computers all day - at home I just want to be able to focus on the task at hand.

All fine and well, but oracle will threaten to turn off your instance if you don’t maintain a reasonable average CPU usage on the free hosts, and will eventually do so abruptly.

This became enough of a hassle that I stopped using them.

This. It’s technically possible (the same way Asahi uses), but Microsoft has to bring the support in Windows.

No, because there is no codesigning/notarization on Linux.

Gotta juice the utilisation numbers somehow. Limiting everyone to 10 per day would kneecap them, and they’d have nothing with which to attract new investors to keep the gravy train going

Honestly no idea. Hopefully! And hopefully you’ll be able to vote with it.

I just have a magnetic wallet on the back of my iPhone with the two cards and my travel card, so I always have them. I don’t carry a physical payment card or cash so don’t need a wallet otherwise
