I see no other reason for this than to show to investors "yeah can also do the Apple thing" - most probably to not have to sink something that was probably developed head to head with Vision Pro before.

Expect to not really hear from this again.

The market already answered for the time being: none of them. This is space is an R&D sinkhole, all what companies do is make land grabs for an imagined future.

But we are, for ~6 years now? If you have a Samsung Galaxy phone - the most sold phone models in the world (trades place with Apple sometimes) with 60m+ devices/year sold, just plug it in and there you have it. Full peripherial support, you have a perfect multitasking desktop environment and access the same files - called DeX mode.

And yet, this question is here - somehow no one really uses it or even knows about it.

Local network: Moonlight+Sunshine

Over the net: Parsec

You have probably lived in a big city all this time, which most Europeans have not.

The veil will come off now with the second Trump administration. Everyone knows what's coming, and CEOs already changed tone.

> Waymo and their ilk are already here

Self-driving, already almost here for 10 years. Rolling this out to all cities, other continents will be the 10% that's the 90%, if at all possible without additional major innovations.

Waymo has 4 cities, Uber 10.000 - not counting all local competitors.

The Uber model is here to stay for a long, long time.

Craving for a team of more senior people to learn from, "yodas" who guide you - is a fallacy. I hear younger people mentioning it in interviews constantly as to what they dream team would look like.

You can learn from everyone around you, regardless of their status. There is no "universal developer experience curve", everyone has more or less knowledge on a field or with a specific tool/framework.

You can learn almost everything alone - I mean learning from the web. There are great forums, groups, discord chats, ask LLMs carefully and check on the answers. It may sound reassuring that someone watches your back and won't allow mistakes or would help clean up a mess, but you should not keep relying on this anyway. Learning by doing and taking responsibility will make you much more self assured, which is actually most of what makes someone senior.

Depressing that this is "refreshing and exciting". Apart from the last 15 years this was the norm.

This gets posted since 2018, but it is sadly still not for general use, both due to crashes and data safety issues. I wish this would get more love - especially since ReFS development on Microsoft's part is very slow, and seemingly no priority.

Absolutely not. Thoughts should be free to exchange, and independent of who says it. The "Nobody knows you're a dog" aspect of the internet is not a joke, but a serious advantage. Having a - even multiple - self-chosen personas is a big step-up from classical societal norms. We should not revert back.

This was an open secret I saw mentioned a number of timed on forums of Hungarian internet in those years (secret services having black boxes plugged in to servers of ISPs). Open range times, before https was common.

GLiNet AR300M Travel router. I don't think you could make a smaller one even going DIY (with a case, that is). Perf is 50mb with Wireguard officially.

Are you serious? Compass, gunpowder, in vitro fertilisation, metallurgy, the concept of zero and decimal number system.

In current times China and India has a manufacturing industry the US can't compete with (tries to, with expensive hogwash like the Chip act).

Strictly speaking yes, more people != more innovation, but your examples are just not making sense. You are talking about the second and fifth largest economies worldwide.

China and India, but even Africa not driving human progress in any meaningful way? They are not perfect countries with a western eye, but you should read a bit more on what goes on outside the western hemisphere. Or just look at the label of all your electronics.

The abuse the term "OS" gets is incredible

This will never be a real product. Putting it out as a "consumer grade prototype" is the pivot itself, garner the maximum PR impact and maybe snap a few customers who could be lured by most of the usability of the Vision Pro at fraction of the bulk (congrats for that!). But this ship has sailed for a decade now again.

It is great to have a Drive-like user-friendly UI to your shares (web, mobile apps). But don't do the syncing with it, there are more mature/robust solutions like SyncThing or rsync.

That is called a 2in1 laptop?

Apples and oranges. Syncthing is a selfhosted p2p syncing network and it's miles better for this. Nextcloud is a selfhosted "cloud platform" like Google Apps. How good it is for each use case varies greatly. Most often it is used for easy web/mobile access for files and photos.

You shouldn't use NC for syncing, much better options exist. NC is great for sharing files and photos though web or mobile apps.

This is your life in the EU as a developer. Most companies only have junior/senior titles, just to tell beginners apart from "3+ years of experience". Very few companies have staff engineer level. You can either go on to be a manager, or land in a company which suits your vision of being a senior developer.

I think this goes deeper. Independently of this origin accident, calling this card - which is scientifically unfounded - police can discredit hostages who, "from the inside", see their brutality or ignorance. Not every hostage situation is actually life threatening.

I wish more high(er) profile examples would come from the industry. Cloud bills of any mid-large company are already sky high - that money could go to hiring staff for selfhosting, a win-win in this economy. Success stories would help a lot.

Why and how became diamonds a necessity of marriage in the US? Did your fiancé really expect a diamond, and would have she be disappointed by something that has only worth to you?

Should have written >unmoderated<. No service would live 2 hours if it would be actually unmoderated. But seemingly they only remove content that is directly a product of/causing physical harm.

Smart speaker, car, VR, and now robots... it's crazy how much money can be burned when a few of your other products are successful and mature, while those mostly just receive incremental updates.

You really ask why? This isn't about serving justice - it's statuary example for anyone trying to run an unmoderated platform.

You can use an Android tablet as a wireless Android Auto host.

I took over after such a situation at a company, them working for 5 years(!). Some of them were still around but over such a long span the team changed multiple times over.

In short, please no. No documentation, awkward separation of inhouse/external employees (regardless of team setup, you have different access to resources), there is just no creativity, everything is done loveless and cookie cutter.

If you plan long term, hire long term.
