If someone else shares information about me, without my consent, and someone uses that to nose in on me, that feels creepy and problematic.

Been using Blink.sh with mosh, and the persistence of session is a joy, but the interface is still.. awkward at times.

Then they became a client/server model.

They are supposed to provide the source code for Plex Transcoder, since that's a modified ffmpeg build. In practice, the version they share is not up to date with the version they ship.

They are generally speaking, closed source.

Paying more money to use a different product, and then expecting all of my users to do the same, is a big hill to climb.

So the Plex inertia remains.

(So I instead travel with an Apple TV that does all of the above, and more)

For most people, salaries have not kept up with inflation

A monopolist hiking prices to this extent will likely see legal action against them. That's a 20x increase you're proposing.

It's also unlikely to have a material effect. .com used to cost $75 a year back in the day, and that didn't stop squatters, and high value domain transfer sales. $75 in 1990s dollars is about $150-$190 today.

His mum Lizzie2 had no problem doing it without causing any problems:

I think it's likely that Chuckie3 is continuing this grand tradition with impunity.

Which is the position the Monarchy absolutely wants you to have, and they definitely don't want you to know that they have veto power over all laws, and regularly intervene and get laws modified so that they're not included in scope.

Meanwhile they just gave themselves a massive pay rise, at a time when government is cutting public spending in all areas.

1/ Force apple to eat a price hike. Failing that, they can:

2/ Terminate their relationship with apple

3/ Go bankrupt trying to sell $2 for $1 (which leads us back to point 1)

My claude code environment shows me cost per token used in that session, according to API costs. It regularly exceeds $200. I pay $200 a month for my claude subscription. That's fairly obviously subsidised, unless you genuinely believe their unit costs are 100x less than what they're charging.

If you do have cross-session memory enabled, I agree this is not glowing performance. If you don't, then I think it's working exactly as intended.

I think that was very hardware-dependent. I don't recall what hardware I had, but it had a > 90% success rate of resuming from suspend and/or hibernation under Windows XP.

Apple's advantage there being pretty obvious: they control the entire range of hardware

> You still have to turn off USB power management on a windows machine to avoid serious problems just as you have to turn off Bluetooth power management if you don't want to be connecting and reconnecting your headphones several times a day.

The irony being that I still have to turn wifi and bluetooth off and on on my macbook air regularly today, as airplay stops working every ~10-20 transfers / every other week.

This is dependent on jurisdiction. Some countries (e.g. the USA) do not consider spirit/intent (anymore), as the judiciary has repeatedly ruled that the letter of the law, as written, is what matters, regardless of whether it meets the intent of what the law was written to achieve.

There are other countries in the world, outside of the USA, that do not work this way.

1/ ZFS datasets with hourly (or daily) snapshots

2/ Samba with vfs_fruit

Gives the peace of mind that even when the sparsebundle shits the bed, you can rollback to a suitable snapshot and only lose a small period of backups, rather than having to lose the entire history and start again from scratch.

(I say when, not if, through considerable experience over the last 15 years that it will always, inevitably, shit the bed.)
