Edit: "fire reward receptors in my brain" is probably nonsense scientifically but hopefully it gets the point across

It can be seals that buckle before the lid. It can be a tiny hole with a soft rubber stopper. It can be one of many things that cost a couple of cents extra and a bit more engineering and testing effort.

The cheapest disposable coffee cups I've used have a tiny hole for the express purpose of not pressurizing and spilling hot liquid everywhere.

There's a lot of conversation in the comments about "was there was an expectation that the pressure release valve would be there" There absolutely is a safety expectation that a sealed container of hot food is designed with a pressure release system.

BTW the fermented food thing is a misdirection. The pressure release system should have released pressure way before it even reached ballistic territory.

maybe because of it's association with really cheap, buggy hosts i explored in my teenage years. maybe because of their largely unnecessary complications (except enterprise maybe). maybe because of the tendency of large bloated depressing organizations to use these even in places they shouldn't.

not that many software have faith in are faring any better in this cve-storm.

At this point this is not really white-hat/ethical hacking anymore.

Ofc the kernel-distro security loophole is stupid and should be patched ASAP, but that doesn't absolve this company of wrongdoing.

Also, there should be some universally accepted way to have access to your data and a secure personal computer in the duration your device is getting repaired.

And private third parties are very shady. They have effective monopolies and no significant public face to care about. I think we have seen this pattern play out in healthcare, compliance and other industries already.

Also idk about banks being the effective gatekeepers to the internet and eventually all technology. Just feels like its not their place to do that.

The point of this is not to verify age really. It is to verify identity. There's no way to prove someone is some age without presenting a legal ID.

Also, it's not just porn, facebook, online gambling etc. It is the OS based on some bills. So ALL your activities.

A competent IT person can have a backup plan for every expected failure. They can't control registrar level screw ups.

Companies explicitly selling you "bulletproof domains" like MarkMonitor have screwed up big time.

Also as an IT guy, asking to register a new domain with X is much easier than asking to transfer a long held domain away from Y.

If you’re taking more meds than that without clinical supervision Id say something is wrong in the system or your medicine practices.

Where I’m from it’s common to walk to the nearest pharmacy and get meds when needed. Even over the counter stuff like paracetamols. And talking to the pharmacist. They’ll ask what you’re already taking and tell you what else to get.

Apple, Google and such will contract out this age verification to a third-party which will ask you to upload your ID and a 3D face captcha, which the third party will delete within 15 days, but somehow magically still make it into an unfortunate, unavoidable data leak a couple of years later.

Search inside Settings (both mac and ios) was also really really stupid for a long while. Why are you taking me to some random accessibility toggle when I'm looking for "displays" ? But I checked right now and it's good.

IMO Android suffers from not controlling it's hardware. I can't ever be sure if the hyped new feature will come to my phone because I'm not using a Pixel or a Samsung.

If you wanted to reduce the size of the charset, you'd basically create a transition plan, and ask everyone in the world with a passcode to set a new passcode and validate that against the new charset/rules. A company that can perfectly transition the world from x86 to ARM can surely manage that.

As for iOS 26, no reasonable person would have let it ship. From one source (John Gruber -> "Bad Dye Job") the previous head of Apple's UI design team who lead the UI team was just not a UX designer, he was just a visual designer or something. I think it shows.

I'm quite wary of using SD card for backup. Too easy for me to lose.

Just have an automated keyboard test for every new release to ensure those characters aren't broken.

His vision of perfection didn't always match common sense. There are quite a few examples of this.

I always cringe a little when I read these "jobs would have rolled over in his grave" comments.
