It's more than likely you're getting the first since Chinese factories simply make more of what the big brand has ordered and sell the rest to drop shippers
As far as travel and hotel goes, another huge benefit is that the router enables devices without captive portal support, on a recent trip I can use:
- Fi base station for my dogs trackers (huge for me)
- FireTV stick (no need to trust hotel streaming apps will clear your credentials like they claim)
Also I can WireGuard back home automatically for select IP ranges (no need to configure WireGuard separately on many of my devices)
SDE jobs are usually deliberately kept open to satisfy the H1B/PERM testing. Most big tech company does it so they can hire H1Bs and in turn do day 1 PERM sponsor as an incentive for H1B hires
This is an interesting point but if I may offer a different perspective:
Assuming 20 working days a month: that's 20k x 12 == 240k a year. So about a fresh grad's TC at FANG.
Now I've worked with many junior to mid-junior level SDEs and sadly 80% does not do a better job than Claude. (I've also worked with staff level SDEs who writes worse code than AI, but they offset that usually with domain knowledge and TL responsibilities)
I do see AI transform software engineering into even more of a pyramid with very few human on top.
Yup WSL feels closer to the Services for Unix which has been around since NT 4/5.
It was sad to see WSL2 taking the path of least resistance, that decision has always felt TPM driven ("we got unexpected success with WSL and people are asking for more, deliver xxx by Q4! No I don't care _how_ you do it!")
Great engineering work but as a user I don't get why we need these: I just want the OS native widget that allow me to play pause seek and maybe choose captions. Especially on iOS 99% of these web players behaves awkwardly when you tried to pinch to zoom to full screen (usually it zooms the whole webpage, iOS native player just works)
The main incentive to have these custom controls I see is anti adblocking
I find it interesting that iPhone doesn't do a sanity check of these WiFi/cell fingerprinting based results against the GPS receiver it actually has. I can understand how WiFi only device would not have such an option, but why not do it on iPhones if Apple is known to be against location spoofing?
this is not true, `kubectl debug` attaches to the namespace of a container of your choosing (`--target` argument). You don't have to enable process namespace sharing at the pod level
