There are 10,000+ roundabouts in the US and the number is growing rapidly. One could argue they may even be overused in certain areas (exhibit: Carmel, Indiana).

This is also how Valetudo delivers robot map data to Home Assistant https://hass.valetudo.cloud.

As an update, I found that some of my issues were due to some bug in FileVault. My Spotlight would seemingly stop working altogether. The only solution was to toggle FileVault off/on.

I am using my mac with an LDAP (AD) user account, so I am possibly in the minority of people here.

I use Mail.app on macOS as my daily these days, and it’s somehow even worse than this. Especially the search function, which works in even more bizarre ways.

It’s truly amazing that we have seemingly regressed in basic desktop functionality since the early 2000’s.

Everything Apple does seems to be designed to drive hardware sales. Why support external drives, when you can be up-sold for larger internal storage (at a huge markup)? The "Photo Library" could simply be a database file with references to photo locations, alas that might confuse Mac/iOS user with "files" vs "photos".

> Oh yeah, this will work out great.

It seems to me that the Cybertruck has less of a blind spot in front of the hood than F-150. The "not seeing the front" is actually hinting at this, it's below the field of vision. The hood angles down agressively vs. huge

Large trucks/SUVs are infamous for poor pedestrian visibility right in front.

Edit: this graphic (https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/1600/1140000/800/1140...) comes to mind.

My count might include additional elements from going through signup flow with their bank connection providers.

My lists are:

  - uBlock
  - EasyList
  - EasyPrivacy
  - Online Malicious URL Blocklist
  - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
  - uBlock filters – Annoyances
  - AdGuard Annoyances filter
  - pl: Oficjalne Polskie Filtry

> There's some analytics from Tiktok, Clarity, Reddit and Spotify

Yeah, if my bank started embedding those on their account page, I would GTFO.

I would love to use and pay for your service, but it's inexcusable than a service that charges $100+ / year has so many trackers that uBlock shows 87 elements blocked just in the account signup flow (/signup/connect-spending-account).

A financial info aggregator is the one place where I would appreciate NOT having my data and behavior exfiltrated to third parties.

Indeed I did, thanks!

Is there any reason this would not work on a Mac and iterm2? I get the initial encryption effect, but sadly, no decryption :). I tried different fonts and iterm2 settings to no avail. I guess I could try the ncurses option, but curious to see this not work natively.

Edit: as helpful comments below me explained, you either have to press another key to decrypt, or launch it with the `-a` option.

Really cool design, the Milkdrop tab is a nice touch! I found some of the stations to be perfect as background tunes while working.

It is an open secret that criminal groups also pay unscrupulous T-Mobile employees to assist with SIM-swap attacks. I am not sure at what scale this happens, as those instances _should_ be easy to trace and prosecute. But I have seen evidence of criminals reaching out and offering "side work" on the T-mobile subreddits, as an example.

In those cases, hardware keys for employees would not help.

This is a terrible decision just from the optics perspective - alienating those who are more likely to be power users.

But how many people do they seriously expect to install the official Twitter app instead? I, for one, will not; as the privacy page on the App Store basically makes me "steer clear".

Whatever percentage of 3rd party clients they get to switch over seems like a rather dubious trade-off to all of the bad press, and the terrible manner in which this was executed.

> Steam might not be perfect, but compared to any other option I can think of it's not only better, but far, far better.

What about GOG? Their client is optional, you can download full installers for offline archiving, no DRM.

First option that comes to mind that is clearly superior.

> it doesn't ever crash and it sleeps and wakes correctly.

Maybe I have been unlucky, but I have experienced many panics across several different machines running recent MacOS releases. 2 of those being corporate machines, so I can blame the "security" software that gets deployed. My home Mac mini, does not have any crapware deployed, and it still managed to crash once or twice.

In contrast, my ancient desktop running Windows 10 has not had a single BSOD in the years since I built that Ivy Bridge machine. And this included running much more intensive workloads than the terminal/docker/text editor workloads on my Macs.

That 1080p screen would be hard to get used to after working on crisp MBP screens. Especially when staring at text all day.

The rest of the laptop does look great for the price.

That's not a solution from Apple support. That's the solution that the USER came up with, after support was satisfied with "nuke your DNS zone" as a solution and closed the case.

This all can be fixed with a simple regex, once the right person gets involved.

But it seems a week is not long enough to get someone who knows how to use `dig`, and can create a bug report for the appropriate engineering team.

It is amazing, that a company with the amount of resources that Apples has, can screw up support for basic services, such as email, so badly.

It appears that it's not possible for a normal person to report actual problems, or get in touch with people who actually support the iCloud side of the house.

The desktop and app support works great, but if Apple is going to play in the "premium email provider" space, they need to make some improvements.

> I wish people would qualify their “Apple Hate” every time they mention it.

Apple hate? I'm a Mac convert, and I admire most of their hardware and design. But it's no secret they purposely refuse to interoperate with other vendors, and purposely develop proprietary technologies to keep you within their ecosystem. The recent acquisition, and subsequent planned shutdown of Dark Sky is just one recent example.

Part of it is just the business model, I guess. For example, Google's apps are widely available across a variety of devices, since it gives Google the juicy data that they're after. For Apple, which is not an ad company, the incentive might not be there for opening their apps up to a wider audience.

Since I cannot justify a $1k+ phone for myself and my family members (I am content with my $500 S10e), and I have a mix of Mac, Linux, and Windows devices, the Apple applications (however well designed) are sadly out.

Despite Apple's anti-competitive ways, I am often impressed with their attention to details such as these. Glad there is still sanity out there in the world of "always listening" devices.

> as non-US, I would always choose such a wonderful and welcoming country and great people over police state of US these days

The US certainly has many issues, but I find calling it a "Police State", while praising the Islamic Republic of Iran in the same sentence quite ironic.

This is not true. Modern top loaders, such as Samsung High Efficiency top loaders don't waste water like the old mechanical top loaders. They weigh the clothing, adjusting the water levels accordingly. They also don't have agitators, and wear fabrics less than the spinning action of a rotating drum. For a 2nd story laundry, they are a no-brainer, because the spin cycle (which is much faster than an old-school top loader) results in significantly less vibration than a front loader.

Source: owned a front-loader, several cheap "old school" top loaders, and a modern, High Efficiency top loader. The last one, is the best by far.
