<p>If US manufacturers (or manufacturers in allied countries) do this, legal avenues exist to hold those manufacturers accountable. Not so with China.<p>(That is not to say that the FCC change will move the needle on the underlying issue of router security; as some of the ancestor comments have said, lax security practices are common industry-wide, irrespective of country of development/manufacture.)</p>

<p>I would largely agree with that assessment, yeah. Dangerous place to bike, too. I've even seen pedestrians get clobbered by bikers because they stepped into the bike lane not realizing a bike was barreling toward them at 20mph+. This is part of why Waymo and Uber warn you when the dropoff is next to a bike lane.</p>

<p>I was recently in a Waymo in SF. It was turning right from a busy street onto a narrow street. Mid-turn, the car slammed on the brakes. I sat there for a couple seconds like “???” wondering if we'd hit something. Then a dude on an e-bike _flies_ past the car in the bike lane.<p>The car saw this dude coming from way down the street, flying, and was like “yeah, better stop.” Probably saved the biker from serious injury, or worse. I wouldn't have seen him if I was driving.</p>

<p>Man. I'd really rather they did the inverse: drop systemd and only maintain the SysV versions of the materials, even if that means dropping GNOME/etc., because I think understanding the Linux init process is far more important than making any specific desktop environment available.</p>

<p>If you're talking about their headphones, I agree they _feel_ cheaply-made, but they are by no means low-quality. When you make headphones with premium materials, they get heavy, and that makes them uncomfortable/painful to wear. Speaking from prior experience. It's an incredibly delicate balancing act. Bose optimizes for comfort, which is important for e.g. long plane rides.</p>

<p>In a previous life, I was the platform architect for the Bluetooth headphones at Bowers & Wilkins. We, naturally, did tons of competitive analysis, and I tend to agree Bose blows sound quality-wise, but their active noise cancelling is hands-down the best in the biz, and they have the weight and comfort extremely dialed-in.<p>Glad to see them setting a great example here instead of letting these speakers become expensive paperweights.</p>

So this is a bummer to hear. Many thanks to Adam and the team.</p>

<p>Yeah. I feel the same way. If not for the fact that my gaming PC pulls double duty as a work PC, I'd seriously consider ditching Windows 11 for Bazzite.<p>I worry that we are edging closer and closer to a similar phenomenon with macOS as well. Apple seems intent on squandering every bit of stability and sanity that macOS used to represent. Maybe now that Alan Dye is gone, we will at least see the abomination that is Liquid Glass fixed…somehow.</p>

<p>Extremely context-dependent for me.<p>For boilerplate stuff like generating tests against a well-defined API, in a compiled language, maybe 2-3x. Far less in languages and frameworks like Ruby/Rails where the distance between generating the code and figuring out if it’s even valid or not is large.<p>Mechanical refactors that are hard to express via e.g. regex but easy in natural language: maybe 5x.<p>HTML and CSS, where I know exactly what I want and can clearly articulate it: 2-5x.<p>For anything architecture-y, off the beaten path, or where generating a substantial amount of code is required: near 0%. Often in the negatives.</p>

<p>Before I left Apple ~10y ago, it was pretty common to drop linked-on-or-after hacks into AppKit and UIKit to keep popular software chugging along. Assuming they're still doing that sort of thing, this was either missed or deemed not high-enough priority to add such a check (or maybe one was added, and the only reason this issue has been noticed is because Electron and Electron apps are now being built against the macOS 26 SDK).</p>
