I mean yeah, what else would the CEO of a competitor say?
hoytschermerhrn··on S3 Strong Consistency

hoytschermerhrn··on Apple’s T2 security chip jailbreak
My understanding is that because this is a hardware-based issue, there’s no way to release a software patch to fix it.
hoytschermerhrn··on Modernize your Bash Scripts by adding GUI
A lot of hate from people too stubborn to recognize the value in various forms of input / output, but I think this is a great idea. Will be trying it for one of my next projects.

hoytschermerhrn··on UFO VPN claims zero-logs policy, leaks 20M user logs
Piggybacking on this, can anyone comment on Mozilla’s new VPN service?
hoytschermerhrn··on The TikTok War
FYI it is possible to upload a video edited in a 3rd-party app (i.e After Effects) in lieu of using the tools available within TikTok itself.

Source? I’m skeptical of your claims but interested in any content that backs it up.
hoytschermerhrn··on The Day AppGet Died
Saying that it’s just “a big company thing” is giving Microsoft a pass here. Look at their recent PR: wanting to embrace the developer community [1], their love of open source [2], etc. While AppGet may be an isolated story, I’m inclined to believe that MSFT is simply acting they way they’ve always have — by embracing, by extending, and by extinguishing.
