Prior to the third time going to Genius Bar, I was able to reach a senior manager for Apple repairs in a phone call to Apple Support. And even after asking him to take down a note on my incident to have the repair tech physically open the right ear can, they still came back with "cannot reproduce". There was either a screw loose in my brain or the headphones. Guess we'll never know which.

I owned a pair of the first gen AirPods Max. After a couple of months of usage, I began noticing a rattling inside the right earcup. I had never dropped them or exposed them to any sort of physical damage that could knock something loose. The rattling would happen every time I tilted my head in any direction. I had taken them to Apple Genius support in store 3 different times and 2 of those times the onsite tech agreed that there was a rattling sound. All 3 times they were sent to an Apple repair facility and they always came back with "cannot reproduce". I sold them on FB Marketplace for a deep discount, having alerted the potential buyer to the issue before I sold them to him. Never again will I purchase a set of AirPods.

Can’t have too many agents investigating crimes in DC…

Unwrapping Ocarina of Time. My parents had me convinced it was sold out everywhere. That moment is seared into my brain.

I've previously used O&O ShutUp10++ when I was still using Windows. Seemed to work well without issue. Certain Windows updates would reset some of the settings. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

About to? We're beyond "about to".

Kid hit the jackpot at conception.

If you can withstand the first few days, a lo carb / zero carb diet will do wonders for your appetite. I don’t know what the long term impacts are of such a diet but I do know from personal experience that it’s drastically improved my ability to withstand cravings.

It’ll be interesting to see how Apple markets this at WWDC. Will they explicitly say that OpenAI is powering this functionality?

Anyone beginning to think that maybe owning a desktop/laptop PC doesn't make sense anymore?

Corporate personhood for me but not for thee?

We have millions of poor Americans voting against their self-interests to protect the thousand billionaires.

Fully expect this iteration of SCOTUS to rule against the EPA

Are Facebook and Twitter any less culpable?

Ran into a similar issue. Lost my passion for software development. Thought it would help to learn a new language or framework. I was wrong. What did work for me was getting completely out of my comfort zone. For me that is reverse engineering particularly in the Windows space along with kernel level programming. https://www.microsoftpressstore.com/store/windows-internals-...

Happy New Year HN! May 2024 bring you love, peace, and prosperity.

Merry Christmas HN! Thank you all for inspiring so many of us!

Vulnerability analysis and subsequent exploitation development. I would obviously need way more time than that to be good at it but I've always found the topic interesting.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Merry Christmas, HN! I’m grateful for this amazing forum and its brilliant contributors.

Ashamed to admit I was once a Certified ScrumMaster. I’ve grown to realize that it’s too difficult to implement. The gains, if any, aren’t worth the effort and overhead. As the agile manifesto says: “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools”.

Currently a product owner. I’m in the process of going back to development full time. The day to day rollercoaster of ambiguity is not my thing. Some days are easy, others are chaos. Hasn’t been good for my mental health. I miss the days of having a task with clear acceptance criteria and a feedback loop that’s easy to identify and optimize. God I miss coding.
