  1. Re:More features no one is asking for...... on Apple Plans To Launch an 'All-New' 16-inch MacBook Pro and 32-inch 6K Monitor This Year, Says Report (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    +1 where are my moderation points when I need them?! recently swapped my brothers MacBook battery, OMG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Difficult to make a living from OpenSource on The Complicated Economy of Open Source Software (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I tried for 20 years (since before university) with various project and means, extremely difficult to get people to pay for open source, support, documentation, donate, you name it. My latest expedient is YouTube videos to finance Open Source work: https://www.youtube.com/user/r... I'm at $3 a day, :-/

  3. What is do damnt difficult, ..? on After Calls For an Edit Button, Twitter Says it is Considering a 'Clarification' Feature (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    To allow editing for a minute or two. Just when you posted an auto-correct typo, or wrong link (e.g. your own YT video, to /edit and not /watch) things like this. I agree long term editing is a bit unfair, but a minute or two like some websites already do, ..?!

  4. Re:No cost for companies on Personal Information of 14.8 Million 500px Users Exposed In Security Breach (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't think costs will help much. There are already lawsuit costs and loss of customers due trust today. For the most part many companies, management, but also developer (who sometimes are not even that skilled and can barely click stuff together) plus many systems and languages (hint: PHP) are also inherently insecure. We need a whole new security first thinking. Also if that would be your company, and you architectured a really nice and secure system, and then there is one stupid small little typo bug and stuff leaks, do you really wanna pay millions of fines for that? While speaking about security – last night I live stream talked about microkernels, because security first, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  5. Apple does not much, and for the most part focus the one ecosystem to ripp of hard working developers. Already for a lone developer 30% less income is a lot, for a larger team making quite some sales 30% is a quite hefty amount in the books. 50% is just a blatant rippof. Compensating for their failing, peak bug product lines. In my opinion 10% would be fair. And also open the market so vendors and users can choose alternative distribution models, ..! (Yes, currently migrating to Android: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...)

  6. No surprise there on Reddit Users Are the Least Valuable of Any Social Network (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ps: can we stop selling each other's users and advertising content and get back to developing selling real stuff, fly to moon and mars and fun things like that?

  7. could swear I saw something this 6 month if not even as long as a year ago, ..?

  8. Apple copying other's innovation again? on Apple's Internal Hardware Team Is Working On Modems That Will Likely Replace Intel (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not that wireless networking comes with decades of innovation and all the fundamental technology research and such. And now Apple just comes and copycats their wireless tech? Get the popcorn ready for even more patent lawsuits. What a stupid move. They should focus on their tech that is only going downhill and is full with: https://twitter.com/search?q=p...

  9. SMD rework is not as difficult as most people think: https://www.youtube.com/channe... https://www.youtube.com/user/r...

  10. Stupid genius Apple App review on Apple Tells App Developers To Disclose Or Remove Screen Recording Code (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    How this slipped their review is beyond me, bur our fine paperless office applications, like ExactScan, they reject because they would "ask for an access the user's Contacs" (which we don't): https://www.youtube.com/watch?... And yet every other time they approve the updates, ..! And I swear we have no code to access the Contacts, ..! And they can't even answer with a backtrace where it would happen, ..! :-/ In the meantime I suspect our "crash reporter" optional "directly sending it to us" code accessing some "~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/" to trigger this. But only time and more data points will show if disabling this avoid the every 2nd App Store review reject, https://exactscan.com/

  11. Starting a CPU project today, I would choose RISCV on Adobe is Considering Whether it Wants To Design Its Own Chips (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Why bother with soon obsolete ISAs? It's open and royalty free also, so, go creative! ;-)

    yep, I for sure love using my Sgi Octanes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ;-)

  13. #t2sde can theoreically do this for a decade, too on Homebrew 2.0 is Here With Official Support For Linux and Windows (brew.sh) · · Score: 1

    Always when I read "major news" like this I feel a bit sad not having polished and pusedh this more in our T2 SDE Linux cross compile emebdded scripting source meta distribution thing: https://t2sde.org/ I compiled to macOS a decade ago to "emerge" Subversion from source and such, 2005/2006 time frame. I even used it to compile some MinGW runtime thing, to cross compile some of my code and test programs to Windows executables. Guess now w/ my new YouTube ad funded effort I could polish this more up again for just build more again – https://youtube.com/ReneRebe

  14. To prevent people going to independent repair shops (like Rich's elecrified-garage)? Also how often does this really happen. This like never happened with the 6 or so Volkswagen of my parents (I'm not into cars). Or are Tesla's simply so unreliable? :-/

  15. USA also uninvited China for 5G and such on China Is Restarting Its Reactor Pipeline, Westinghouse Isn't Invited (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    so why should China invite others for their power plants, ..?

  16. Even harder to compile from source? on Firefox 65 Arrives With Content Blocking Controls, and Support for WebP and AV1 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Let me guess, they found new creative ways to make it even harder to build from source? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  17. All I ask for is a headphone jack on Apple Is Making a 7th-Gen iPod Touch and New iPads, Says Report (macrumors.com) · · Score: 2

  20. Re:What could they possibly do better? on Apple Might Start Making Its Own Batteries For iPhones, Macs (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually I was ironic, and exactly against this patent nonsense as everything is standing on the shoulders of giants and iteratively improving things. Also I can troll Apple and it's fans with their usual "copycat" allegations, ... not?

  21. Re:What could they possibly do better? on Apple Might Start Making Its Own Batteries For iPhones, Macs (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    yes, I totally agree ;-) but that is not my point, I specifically followed up on the proprietary battery development and was joking they could glue it in even strong, and in general I just recently made a video pointing out difficulty of repairability of glued together devices, including the M$ Surface's https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  22. What could they possibly do better? on Apple Might Start Making Its Own Batteries For iPhones, Macs (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Glue them in with stronger adhesive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?... https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Also after hundred years of battery research, development & patents, Apple just comes and copies them? :-/

  25. I did not buy any iDevice in 4 years on Apple Says It Could Miss $9 Billion In iPhone Sales Due To Weak Demand (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't want an MacBook with soldered on SSD (for upgrade or potential data recovery), glued in battery, keyboard that get stuck by dust, and even more thermal throttling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... The iPhone is a similar story, I simply want a normal headphone jack, for traveling, cheap travel headset replacements in case of, also the price is way too high, especially in Europe: https://rene.rebe.de/2017-09-1... and last but not least the glass backs of iPhones just add another unnecessary way to break your iPhone when it drops the usual once or twice a year (or more often for less careful users), ..! :-/
