They’ve had router firmware updates that have borked networks a few years ago. Software QA processes weren’t up to snuff.

FWIW I run real linux VMs on my Mac with Lima. Only limitation is that it can’t use the GPU. Otherwise works great for me. Is WSL functionally equivalent?

Does it still play well with the notorious new Plex app?

Phil Schiller came across well here in the report. He was overruled by Tim Cook.

How do you protect yourself from this? Treat public QR codes like "free" USB drives – don't use them?

Uh, Gmail also has usage limits for each tier. I know before I’ve painstakingly removed emails with large attachments just so I can keep receiving my email.

The author wrote about her experiences 3 years later on: https://www.greaterwrong.com/posts/zpg2C9fmzcGqqhZpE/hyperpa...

TLDR: while meal replacements were technically effective, they did come at a cost to her mental health. Shifting to a well balanced diet appeared more sustainable in the long run.

I think that’s meant to be a security feature. If it can be toggled off in software, that lessens the trust that it reliably represents the state of recording.

Maybe a black circle sticker might help? I see people do that to block the camera. Should work just as well for the LED.

Not sure why your comment was downvoted. ^ is absolutely the right answer.

Open WebUI is functionally identical to the ChatGPT interface. You can even use it with the OpenAI APIs to have your own pay per use GPT 4. I did this.

AltServer from the AltStore folks allows you to automate the renewal of sideloaded apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s an excellent workaround.

Could it work with bookmarklet as like what pinboard did?

Also any support for importing from pinboard archives?

Safari support would be great. Any chance of a self hosted version?

I checked out the other thread commenting on the original WSJ article and only a handful of people called bullshit. Gruber’s piece is an excellent and thorough critique.

100%. I do know it might come bite me in the ass at some point.

Already I didn’t realise my docker container was saving data to the NON-PERSISTENT data volume. But that was a greater reflection of Chatgpt taking me beyond my knowledge limits, and me being in a place where my ignorance of my ignorance can lead to not-great consequences.

Lol just an attempt at being pithy. It’s true though. Something about ease of functionality curves making whole classes of new use cases / customers possible.
