This is a tough one. One way I sort of get around this is I buy the discs (if international) or rent them (domestic), but it’s probably so new and exclusive that it hasn’t been released on any rippable media.

I don’t why but the fact this is on YouTube seems hypocritical but I can’t put my finger on it.

I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.

It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.

I think it’s a CSS issue. Word wrapping won’t break apart the amount because it’s considered one “word.”

There are ways to address it though.

I’d totally check it out but I have 100% of Google blocked. 💀

I don’t think I’d make that information public were I in their shoes. Wouldn’t that be a hint for anyone attempting to crack them?

I’m explaining why I’m a programmer for some context why I’m interested in technology, not to argue that all programmers hate gaming.

I was replying against the smug “you must’ve been born in the 2000s” comment. I’m arguing that not everyone is into gaming just because this is a technology community, and to maybe drop the attitude because someone isn’t cOoL like them because they were born earlier. 🙄

I was born in the late 1980s, can I know what it is?

Edit: Looks like a game. Are we assuming everyone in a technology community cares about video games? I’m a programmer but can’t get into video games at all.

I think the part you’re missing (and others haven’t addressed) is that you don’t send 100% of your traffic to one endpoint (much like how most use VPNs). You can route different things to different places.

For example, I’m in the US and have two Tailscale exit nodes. Both are located on VPS machines in the US, but one sends traffic down a double-hop VPN back out into the US, the other does the same but to Switzerland. My “default” route is through Switzerland (better privacy laws) but I am forced to route some things through the US exit node due to websites that won’t work outside the US. For my personal devices, traffic routes directly to them via WireGuard tunnels.

In addition, my wife doesn’t care about blocking everything that I do (social media, tracking) but her phone still needs to update sensors in Home Assistant. She can choose not to use the exit nodes but can still communicate with our nodes on Tailscale. She also uses it to print documents at home from her laptop while she’s at work.

Recently I was waiting in a hospital with public (unsafe) WiFi that blocked UDP traffic, but Tailscale does some magic that will relay traffic via TLS. I was able to access services at home with a 20ms latency. The tech is very, very nice to have.

I wonder how this works in other countries because I know it’s normal to do (what we call) ACH-to-ACH transfers.

I’m actually all for speeding up ACH and using it more often (rather than P2P transfers apps), but you raise a valid concern here.

I think I’m talking about the speakers and codecs themselves. I always try them in the Apple Store with high hopes but the audio is blatantly compressed: it sounds “tinny” while lows and mids come out poorly reproduced.

I know that with Bluetooth there is limited bandwidth, so even with high quality source files it’s always going to be (re-)encoded with AAC. Apple ditched aptX which is a shame, because at least the quality was much higher than AAC.

I use an AudioQuest DragonFly while listening to music, and it’s clunky for sure but I don’t want to be forced to use Bluetooth and compression.

Mint Mobile only works on T-Mobile. I’m wanting something that works on both. My wife is still on T-Mobile, and whenever we travel our state one when one of us has no signal, the other does. I’d like an MVNO that can automatically switch between the two.

Google Fi supports this but last I heard it doesn’t work on iPhone.

So yeah, I’m the opposite: I have high expectations if I’m going to switch.

I was a T-Mobile customer for awhile and am on AT&T now. In my region it’s always one or the other with the best coverage.

I was going to switch to Boost Infinite right before they became Boost. Still trying to figure out if Boost will work on AT&T, Boost, T-Mobile networks like Boost Infinite did because if they do, smell ya later (kinda) AT&T!

I would love to jump on that bandwagon, but they sound so fucking awful. I’ll pick my Audio-Technica gear with the awkward Bluetooth every time; not that I use the Bluetooth while listening to music but it sure would be nice to have something on Apple’s level of wireless for meetings and audio quality in one package.

I only have experience trying to run two Tailscale containers on the same machine and hit so many roadblocks that running it containerized just wasn’t worth it.

Containerizing is probably only worth it if you have an explicit need for it.

I don’t think it’s hard to understand regardless what their experience with billing terms may be.

“Don’t give them credit” still makes sense to me as someone who has that experience. It also makes sense to me as just a normal human that maybe we shouldn’t just let unreliable parties pay later given their wild (basically public at this point) history with paying people.

That might be true, but I think the point is that maybe it shouldn’t be rare (especially when dealing with these guys).

So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.

What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.

I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.
