basejumping··on Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US
So why do they want Americans to use TikTok? It's not like they can't live without it, and anyway, they still have Youtube and Instagram short videos, etc. It's also not to show other countries that US is better and not banning foreign apps (like China does for example), since showing a good example won't change what other countries do. Is it because they know it's a more addictive service that they then control and can influence people's minds? Is it for their friends to make money off this split?
basejumping··on Trump to impose $100k fee for H-1B worker visas, White House says
They should set a very high salary as a criteria for hiring someone from abroad. You want exceptional people, not regular people that you pay less than the ones you find in your own country.

You should then be dissatisfied with both at the same time. When people wish 'any change' they actually wish a change into better, otherwise it's plain stupid.
basejumping··on JetBrains IDEs Go AI: Coding Agent, Smarter Assistance, Free Tier
Yes, but you need to pay the license to them. I guess I'll switch, it's just silly that there isn't an official integration
basejumping··on JetBrains IDEs Go AI: Coding Agent, Smarter Assistance, Free Tier
Is there a way to use Claude within the Jetbrains IDEs? I have a Jetbrains IDE license, and a Claude subscription, but I couldn't find an integration. To use Claude and have it integrated I need to subscribe to Jebtbrains AI instead, but then I don't have Claude in the browser anymore.
basejumping··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
He doesn't need to follow that recipe for dictatorship. He just needs to do whatever he wants, being a bully without consequences both internally and externally, transforming the image of the US into an aggressive nation. At this moment Americans are as guilty as Russians for allowing this to happen.
basejumping··on DOGE has 'god mode' access to government data
Maybe it's temporary, not 'once you build it they will use it'. Time will tell, if in the end a dictatorship proves itself to run things more efficiently and make everyone richer, then other countries will follow the US and adopt the same model.

Why did you pick up 21 mln people? Just to make a contrived connection to the number of bitcoins?

basejumping··on GDPR Violation: Scribd acquires PII on 500M users in a deal with LinkedIn
I didn't even receive a LI email, checked my spam as well, yet I can login to slideshare and see my account with full name and profile scraped from my LI account. Great!

By the way, my email is marked private on my linkedin account, but now it's on slideshare. So selling information you marked as private!

basejumping··on How I built a keyboard/video/mouse switch for my two 4k monitors
I have been looking for the same thing. I want to connect my 2 laptops to the same dell monitor via one usb-c port, charge them, use the mouse and keyboard attached to the monitor. Now I have to move the usb-c cable from one laptop to the other, which already started to leave a mark on the port enclosure.

basejumping··on Megadesk
I suggest they also program a child lock for the buttons. My son caught his fingers between a chair under the desk and the desk itself while pressing the down button, luckily I jumped in time to help. I've since then moved the controls on top of the desk and at the back.
basejumping··on Avoiding the Global Lobotomy
I don't know if this works for you, but since a month I started taking a 1h walk every evening, after my kids go to sleep. I'm in my 30s, walking for me was something older people do. I also run every other day. But I find it so relaxing, it gives me 1h of reflection, burns a few hundred calories, and in that time I would have probably sat at the computer anyway. I think this is one of the good habits one can pick up, and in your case I think you need to pick up some good habits. Focusing on how to break your phone addiction could be hard since it's very specific, so maybe changing some fundamental things that you do will shake off this behaviour.
basejumping··on New iPhone SE
Is the frame made of aluminium or glass? I can't find it mentioned anywhere.
basejumping··on Bose QC 35 Firmware 4.5.2 Noise Cancellation Investigation Report
I have the QC35-II as well. I've now disabled it on my phone, and hopefully it will only connect to the computer. I wish they would have put a physical button and let me cycle through the connected devices. But no, I don't know what they've thought, that the headphones will guess my intention? The reason I have it on my phone is that because of the poor bluetooth range I will keep the phone in my pocket and stream to the headphones when I walk through the house, but when I come back to the computer I need to hassle again to switch the connection.
basejumping··on Bose QC 35 Firmware 4.5.2 Noise Cancellation Investigation Report
I have the QC35 and besides the noise cancelling they are crap. The bluetooth drops off when I'm sometimes only 8m away, the battery life is low, but the most annoying thing for me is the multi devices connectivity. They will connect to both my iphone and mac at the same time, but never in the way I intended to. A lot of times I need to turn off the bluetooth on the iphone, or turn the phones on and off several times, or desperately try to connect/disconnect the phones to the mac, do this a few times a day and see how it feels. There is no option on the phones to switch between devices, or even to stop multi connectivity, the phones know better and will connect to the device which is 'closest'. Good luck when you sit at the desk with the laptop and the phone on it. The only way is to use the Bose supplied app, which is full of dark UX patterns. Every time it asks me to create a Bose account, to connect my other social accounts, etc. And it doesn't even solve anything, do I really need to open my iphone and open the Bose app to turn off a connected device every time I start the headphones?

By comparison my Beats solo are much better, for range battery and connectivity, but they don't have noise cancelling.

basejumping··on Last Week on My Mac: Deceived by the Finder
I had so much frustration yesterday while renting a movie from Apple TV for my kids. I wanted to view it on my wife's laptop (also a Macbook), apparently she can't download the Apple TV app unless she subscribes. I had the app from when I had the TV trial. Overall such a poor and buggy user experience, not going into details, but I hear these devs are getting 400k/yr for not giving a shit about the overall user experience.

Doesn't WebRTC need a TURN server to proxy traffic when you're behind a NAT? It's not really peer to peer when all the data goes through a central point.
basejumping··on My 2020 Hackintosh Hardware Spec
I meant that I run on a Macbook. I was comparing Windows with MacOS. Btw, software that I won't even notice? I paid 2.5k on a laptop that I keep docked most of the time, so I guess I do notice it, along with all the other things I've mentioned.
basejumping··on My 2020 Hackintosh Hardware Spec
Yes, but then you get Candy Crush install by itself, and every day new KB updates, system updates that you cannot prevent like it's not your own system to chose, optimisation processes which start consuming CPU without you asking for it, clunky UI. I prefer to use a Mac just for the peace of mind.
basejumping··on U.S. Cloud Act is raising concern about extraterritoriality
Cloud is not purely hosting, it's the services on top, the benefits of the company behind it. I don't know the statistics but probably bigger companies will pay a premium knowing that it's Amazon doing the hosting and not 10 different Uncle Lius.

basejumping··on Front-End Microservices
I work in finance and we have a similar setup. We have a platform type of app and many different teams working on different products. Each team is responsible for its own part, from JS web components to the Java backend micro services. There are of course teams responsible for building the portal out of the many components, orchestrating the backend of microservices, etc. It does allow teams to work and release independently.
