Apple has a reserved billboard right across the street from my apartment. Every time it changes I notice, Privacy ad, Sexy product photos, Shot on IPhone ads. Guess what it is now? AI Emoji, a hot dog holding a briefcase. I’m not surprised people aren’t impressed.

I live in Center City Philadelphia and we have many similar issues with public transit and transportation. I think it will be very interesting to see how the next few years play out both in NYC and here.

I'm all for adding additional support programs for those that need help(and pay taxes to support it) but that's never been popular or successful enough to make an impact. We need more housing, increases to the minimum wage, and many other changes to help support those in need after they immediately get help(which is still hard to come by). These are long term changes that can't get a "quick fix". Meanwhile faith in our public transit institutions continues to degrade as they are ill equipped or unwilling to help enforce order in a way that makes the majority feel safe.

Last year Philly elected a mayor who promised to restore order, potentially bring back stop and frisk and make changes in policing to make the city safe. I hope order and safety do return, but I feel many will be uncomfortable with the level of compassion given to get to that level of safety.

Exactly, which is why if this gets any traction I believe it'll be removed. Apple does not allow you to consume your own content on their platforms without a tax or at least a little roughing up.

How’d this get past app review? Apple has allowed zero emulators of any type on the App Store. I bet this gets crushed.

My guess is they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. Seems like the products they sell would be very useful to said companies. Wouldn't want to air any of their dirty laundry, it's PR not a reporting/review perspective.

100% this, Apple wants complete control over the distribution and tooling used on their platforms. While it does provide advantages for their hardware development I think it just ties back to them wanting 30% of any application or gaming revenue.

Most of these are solved problems on the "server" end, but make sure however you play your content is beefy enough.

Can't speak for Jellyfin, but Plex effectively can't "Cast" in a meaningful way. Invest in an Apple TV and it can play every media format, quality, etc. Trying to cheap out using an old smart TV app or a fire stick and you'll end up in transcoding hell.

What I meant is what would prevent IBM or other large corporation from acquiring them as well?

Given my experience, RHEL is a favorite among enterprise environments. As such IBM will continue to pursue a strategy that forces people into that business funnel. They do not care who falls out of it, the ecosystem will only become more closed.

I think we need to be more realistic about where things are headed. SUSE? Market cap of 2.2 Billion, IBM paid 34 for RH. Ubuntu? Still not profitable. As we continue to see the tech sector cool and become more mature belts will tighten and things will consolidate.

That’s the disconnect I also experience. Working with multiple different organizations they either .

1. Use Docker Compose and have no container strategy

2. Have a container team and an orchestration platform.

Not many organizations operate in the middle ground, seems difficult to do well with little overhead.

IMO this is lowering the barrier of entry to newbies. I work in this space and often users coming out of boot camps that want to set up their own labs for learning have a steep learning curve. Such is the difficulty with entering cybersecurity without an IT background, for better or worse.

I think people fail to recognize how much of everything now is an internet connected computer. This was true at McDonald’s 15 years ago. A bunch of Windows XP embedded machines at various stations(Fries, Salads, Sandwiches, Desserts) getting routed their individual components.

In more recent years it’s gone WAY WAY past that level of complexity. Dual lane drive thrus? They have cameras and track which car is which to try and keep orders straight. All of this data feeds into a system so management has a clearer and clearer idea of what’s actually happening in the stores.

In a smaller operation like a Dominos it’s super easy to cheat and bump everything off, but once you have any real volume it becomes unmanageable.

I honestly prefer banging rocks together vs sticks but that's just my opinion.

The VCS was a good idea IMO. It just needed a few more hardware/software iterations.

Maybe it's just the area. I'm in the Philly suburbs and while I love it here I cannot express how little people travel. Even going downtown is a "big deal" if you've grown up to believe either,

1. Cities are awful dangerous places with no value 2. Strip malls and chain restaurants are the pinnacle of civilization

When I moved from Bucks County to Chester County I was "moving away" and many people just wrote me off. Despite being an hour or two drive away.

This has happened before, they don't end up killing the air. Often when the new "base" iPad has a significant improvement in some way it comes in at a higher price tier and the previous generation sticks around.

The new base iPad is just in a tax year as I like to think of it. If you really do want that better model but not the air you pay the tax. In 12 months or so I'll drop down to the existing previous generation price and that model will finally be phased out.

I just think it’s ridiculous to have to pay a 100$ a year subscription to run whatever code I want on the devices I own.

If it's open source you can compile and install from Xcode I believe but the 7 day limit still exists.

This is so great in theory, too bad if you can only install these via the AltStore and if you’re away from your Mac for 7 days the AltStore and all those apps stop working.

I didn’t get that involved but was told it wasn’t a matter of cost. There were very limited hookups that could be moved slightly for the sinks. Bathrooms could not be moved or modified in any way. I assume it’s a limit on the overall building in/output.

I learned this when my company leased the floor of a big office building in Philly. You can do almost anything you want, except for with plumbing. Especially bathrooms. Despite having almost 150 desks there is a limit of 3 sinks, 6 stalls, 2 urinals, and 6 hand washing sinks. Full stop.

I'm a big fan of Security Hub, it's a great tool for smaller shops to have better native visibility in their environment.

My main issue with it is the standards, PCI, AWS Foundations. These all have "Versions" which aren't controllable. For example AWS Foundations has been at 1.0.0 for over two years, despite receiving several updates and changes over time.

So with this what games actually support Vulkan 1.2 and ARM processors? Maybe there's a version of Quake that could run but I'm wondering what would really work outside of just tech demos and benchmarks.

What was your experience like and where did it lead you? For me it was part of the wake up call that showed me to the door. Being OTP for 14 Stores and GM for 1 was what pushed me over the edge.

I’d say so. Also there was effectively no troubleshooting in the store you could do. Aside from unplugging and replugging the appliance and terminals it was all under a very strict service contract. Too many terminals down or the appliance that processes transaction and a tech had to be out in 8 hours regardless of time of day to service.

I was involved with the card reader upgrades at McDonald’s in the US. Essentially the card readers were stripped out of the main network and all buildings were rewired With a physically segregated network for cashless transactions.

Registers placed orders to the main routing Server in the back which passed the information to each individual station for fulfillment. The only time the card reader is involved is when the register makes a request to the cashless processing appliance in the back office then it reaches out to the card reader on the segregated network.

I think the main issue is to the more common person that paragraph read like as bunch of complete business nonsense. I have no idea what the vast majority of those abbreviations mean.

Being raised in what I believe to be one of these communities this feels very true. In Pennsylvania this supposedly supports seniors, but seniors often are the ones gambling. The most frequent shops for selling lottery tickets are also tobacco stores. I find it hard to resist a scratch off from time to time myself.

I don’t know what the solution is, I know it gives people hope and excitement. Even if they think it’s impossible to work themselves out of debt they hope they’ll “win big” one day keeps them going to an extent. It’s really just another version of the “Marshmallow Question” just with adults instead of kids. You could write it all down for them and spell it out, but to them the math wouldn’t work out.
