They added telemetry. 100% of responses had internet access.

Yup, that “what can I start in 10min” question really ruins a lot of productivity.

I don’t know why everyone is so negative. The gameplan seems pretty clear to me.

1. Make expensive fancy product. This is effectively a “devkit” that companies can use to start experimenting with AR software.
2. Make lower cost product. There are now a few decent apps available and early adopters will be willing to buy it to be one the leading edge.
3. Now there is a bigger market, leading more companies to be willing to develop apps.

Apple is hoping that this is enough to break the chicken-and-egg cycle. Enough to get a few powerful apps such that more regular consumers will be willing to buy which again increases the addressable market which makes it more attractive to companies.

Basically yes. But also they can do that via email or web push notifications. Not that I would allow either.

As I said if you know what you want the cashier is usually faster and easier. However I don’t eat at any single fast food place very often. So even if I know sort of what I want I don’t remember exactly what toppings, flavours and sizes are available. If I was ordering I would probably just pick whatever common order I would expect can work, but I appreciate that I can see a list of options and do a bit of browsing.

Yeah, I like this style but don’t want their apps installed on my phone. A few places have mobile sites which is excellent, I know what access it has and it is shut down completely when I close the tab.

I am a touch screen enjoyer. At least in theory. I like having time to browse, look at pictures, easy access to customization options and most importantly no feeling of pressure. I am not spending a cashier’s time and potentially blocking someone behind me (at least there is usually less of a line for the self-ordering).

However there are negatives for sure. My biggest annoyance is that these devices are often annoyingly slow and unresponsive. They just display a tiny bit of text and images, they should switch between screens at 60fps, not 2s per click. Also if I know what I want it is often faster to tell the cashier and let them enter the order (on their more expert-optimized and less laggy keypad).

To buy the next website that people are making fun of him on.

Actually a sailor makes sales.

Counterpoint: RCS shouldn’t exist either. We should use something that isn’t tied to our mobile service providers.

So then don’t buy a folding phone until they make that better.

No one is saying that everyone should having a folding phone. But it seems obvious that the ability to have a large screen that fits in your pocket is a great feature that many people value. There are downsides, but for some people the upsides outweigh them. For other people (like you) they don’t and you can continue to get a non-folding phone.

Yeah, not only are there a dozen platforms that you need to search but they all suck. I have seen so many instances where people download videos for a vacation and then they can’t be played. I can’t even share screenshots to advertise the shows that you are selling to my friends for free!

Funny enough when I have a video file sitting on my computer it just works, all of the time, super fast. And instead of using services that tell me what streaming platform a given show is on it is easier to use a service that tell me the infohash of the file.

My problem is that I do red, blue, green then can’t think of any more clearly visible colours.

You could go columns for the content, but I think my ideal layout would still have the main content in a single column. I would put all of the chrome horizontally through. For example no header before and footer afterwards, put everything in different columns. Maybe even throw some extra navigation on the screen.

You don’t need to use every pixel, just avoid putting things offscreen unnecessarily.

With ansible you need to change the relevant step to use apt remove instead of apt install and to change the config file step in a step that removes the file.

Wait until you have 2 services that use the same resource. Now you need:

1. When both are enabled the resource is set up.
2. When either one is enabled the resource is still set up.
3. When neither is configured the resource is removed.

Doing this with Ansible is a nightmare. And 99% of the time you don’t even realize that you have this problem until your configs don’t work for some reason.

It really depends on the quality of software you are running? A SMTP, IMAP, Mumble, Photoprism, Jellyfin, bittorrent, Tor, Subsonic compatible server, who even remembers what else? Fine. One small Minecraft world? Boom you’re dead.

I think that is the better case. That is just NPM aggregating the metadata. There are lots of packages that print their own ad.

Have you tried installing any packages from NPM recently?
