I've been following this issue pretty closely, and it's not only Macs that have this problem with dell monitors, if you check out the dell support forum there are various PC users reporting the problem even dell precision users. Also there are various other problems with the monitor firmware like it crashing and needing to be restarted etc.

Additionally, if you look at the firmware updates they published for the successor U2725QE you'll see things[0] again not specific to Macs like

* resolves monitor wake-from-sleep issues; and * resolves daisy-chained monitors not waking from standby;

Which may not be exactly the same bug, but probably is & it shows the problems are getting addressed in Dell's own firmware

To me, it doesn’t seem strange at all because I’m thinking about how complicated the system would have to be to carry out such a directive.

what do you mean by "exact same thing"

This isn't about "poaching" employees (in our society people can work where they choose, they are not property of a feudal lord) and using their knowledge.

This is about ex-employees accessing Apple's internal fileshares. It's about instructing employees who were about to leave to take everything they could with them, and giving them training on how to evade Apple's offboarding security process.

It's not simply that people will get a warped answer when they ask AI a question.

It's that AI will be given the command, and then generate the stories, post the comments to reddit, contact the PR firms, put marketing contracts out for influencer media, and more, like an army of yes men to rewrite the story.

the new Siri does the apple-ecosystem tasks you would have needed a claw type agent for natively

One aspect you're missing is that people running a claw type agent thing need to run it on a Mac to automate software in the Apple ecosystem.

Neo-Siri in iOS 27 removes the need for a lot of this, but before then, if you want to ask a robot about information that is stored in Apple notes, or to send an iMessage, a Mac mini is your only practical option.

overall, too much of this makes sense. The only part I have any objection to is the part about when you're using an AI to make something, you are not steering.

I think you only give up the steering on the how, but the "what" and the "why", which were always the more important parts, in my opinion, are still in your hands.

There has always been tension on that specific point, and it's what made being a programmer in a company you don't own so painful.

Yep I found that was only true for me after the distraction-detector made me put conscious effort into using the buttons without looking. By default I'm a button-looker

The truck I was driving had physical buttons for all the climate control functions, and for volume/on-off too. It wouldn't have been surprising to me if I was distracted fiddling with the screen, but it would give me the alert because I was playing with the buttons for an extended period of time.

The law only specifies the outcome (alcohol detection) not the implementation (hose blowing)

Ford has had that since Blue Cruise 2.0, or thereabouts. It really shocked me how often it catches my attention being diverted. Things like talking to my passengers, adjusting the climate controls, or eating- I'm not even talking about 'advanced distractions' like my phone.

It also seemed really accurate. I never remember it beeping at me when I was actually paying attention.

It's totally plausible to me that this kind of nudge will save a lot of lives.

It’s funny how a strategy like this would work on me, but I am a busy adult who doesn’t really game.

Compare that to my nephews who have a lot of time for gaming, but they’re always fighting to scrounge up the money for another month of Nintendo online or Xbox online and go without it for at least half the year

> most of the no-name TV streaming boxes for sale on the major e-commerce websites either come pre-installed with residential proxy software, or require the installation of proxy SDKs in order to use the device

> Even people without TV streaming boxes can find their smart TVs enrolled in residential proxy networks, just by installing one of thousands of apps available for download on Samsung and LG smart TVs. In a report released last month, the proxy tracking company Spur found 42 percent of apps available for download via the webOS operating system on LG smart TVs include SDKs that turn one’s television into an always-on residential proxy node. More than a quarter of the apps made for Samsung’s Tizen operating system had similar residential proxy components, Spur found.

Most interesting part of the article for me. I wonder if people with a streaming box run into tor-exit-node type problems.

I can’t believe you guys have not read BOTH. The real pleasure is in reading both contradictory accounts!

And there have been articles written in magazines including perspectives of other people who were there, as well.

I can't believe the level of pushback we're getting on this point. Most of these people have probably never been in those meetings.

Person A: Not able to accomplish anything because security blocked essential... Person B: Shipped product F, look at this impact to our KPI. Saved costs by retiring service C. Mentored little jimothy.

Who get the base salary bump and bonus allocation in that scenario

It was a functional website that I could navigate easily!

I guess the “problem” was it didn’t use bootstrap icons

Smoking doesn't actually look cool, but you might need to have quit before to really see it- smokers are sucking on something that's essentially unpleasant to relieve the discomfort of the first pangs of withdrawal.

If you can put yourself back in that moment with honesty, and remember the hope and inevitable disappointment that this will be a 'good cigarette' ... lol that is not cool

The other day codex 5.5 was trying to debug my app, asked for accessibility to navigate the app and take screenshots. Instead first thing it did was use the codex app to create a new project rooted in my home directory.

I was like damn, is this common?
