I made the same mistake once with a junior dev

It also checks your financial records periodically to make sure you didn't "miss" anything.

Curious why Apple chose to remove support for spinning disks. APFS is designed for flash storage, not hard drive storage.

For those of us with encrypted spinning disks sitting in a fire safe/deposit box for a decade or more, macOS suddenly won't be able to mount them for data retrevial because of a software block. If we want to move our cold storage to APFS encryption, we'll need to replace the spinning discs with expensive flash storage, or live with slow fragmented access.

For comparison, I can still pull out a USB floppy disk or CD drive, connect it to modern macOS, and read a shoebox of floppies/discs inherited from my grandfather.

I’ll just vibe code a tool that rebuilds and reinstalls every 30 or so days. :)

From a marketing standpoint, most gamers would associate a “reset” as a final surrender in technical troubleshooting their Xbox.

They want gamers to “reset” their expectations, but I don’t see that panning out well as a strategy.

Yes, the 21st Amendment is democratic society accepting the negatives despite the limited positives.

Alcohol consumption would be another good example of a culture we’ve accepted despite the deaths and limited positive benefits.

Best we can do is a paid vacation and taxpayer-funded settlement, maybe transfer them to neighboring jurisdiction if they were real bad.

They bought a content competitor, now they get to "reset" their vision for it. Mission successful.

The “technical arguments” are documented here: https://blog.cr.yp.to/20260221-structure.html

2006's NSA is not 2026's NSA

As long as we're socializing the gains just the same as we're socializing the losses (through taxpayer-funded bailouts), I have no problem.

That's unfortunately not been the reality through Obama, Trump and Biden policies.

I don’t think the spy agency would use nsa.gov address to manipulate the technology trajectory.

No perhaps. A change to the U.S. Constitution requires a democratic process, not achievable by authoritarian executive order.

Hiding it from users and then charging for additional tokens (if you’re Chinese).

Imagine the outrage if they did the same to Jewish people.

Trump Mobile did the same with the false advertising of their phone, and that’s apparently okay.

While maybe a small scale issue, the solution isn’t an authoritative order that tries to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and bypass democracy.

Your opinion has been duly noted thank you for sharing.

When it comes to publishing anti-human, genocidal rhetoric, I hope they would say "we don't want your blood money."

Flipping that back around, I'm glad I'm not a Mullvad customer that would say "I'm okay with a portion of the money I give you being used to call for genocide."

Money that leaves your wallet and goes to Mullvad ends up funding politicians that believe non-whites shouldn’t have speech at all, as a personal choice by a top executive of the company.

The company’s values aren’t reflected accurately if you believe your money is funding free speech regardless of race.
