I’m curious as to how this manifests when advanced security is enabled. Advanced security on iCloud is supposed to make photos and many other services e2ee.

I logged into Telegram today to this update from Durov. It reads like a bunch of hogwash from someone who is hiding something. They are eyeing investor funding soon, right? (EDIT: eyeing an IPO https://www.techopedia.com/news/telegram-eyes-ipo-as-it-aims-to-become-profitable-in-2025) A lot of things seem to be coinciding with him slinging mud about his competitors.

This happens over and over again with Windows so I don’t really take any of these articles seriously. People will migrate to either 11 or whatever comes next. All the kicking and screaming in the world won’t be able to stop them. How long are tech folks going to repeat this cycle?

You can use Ecobee’s cameras with HomeKit secure video. Just block the cameras from being able to talk to the internet via firewall first.

You’re kinda making things worse.

I believe that is the entire point of the piece.

The Zillow listing was done in error apparently. Zillow came out and said it was not real.

Saw that going around. It has been debunked though.

Embarassing. Does anyone in Silicon Valley have original thoughts anymore?

That’s a reach beyond reaches.

Seems like you’re spewing FUD to me, mostly. I agree Apple is far from perfect, but they literally introduced an e2e methodology for much of iCloud data recently.

Besides, even if they are only doing this out of selfish desire, it’s still a good thing for the consumers in this case.

Good on them for standing up for what’s right on this.

Same boat. Need those concrete reviews this time around.

EDIT: my comment got eaten and I don’t want to type it again.

TLDR: I had the FW 11 gen and it was not good with Linux when it came to being a laptop. Sleep was fundamentally broken due to hardware issue.

I almost threw my hat in this ring but I must wait on people who use Linux to get ahold of it and review it. Proably an early 2024 buy date for me.

For a long while last year, I had an iPhone and my fiancé had a Pixel. It did not matter whatsoever in regards to the relationship. We used Telegram (still do).

If phone choice dictates someone’s choice in partner it is probably safe to categorize them as “terminally online.” Stay away from those people.

There is no double nat. Passthrough mode has worked as expected for me. The one issue I have is that the RG will maintain firewall states, so it limits you to the RG hardware for those states. I have a pretty large home network though, tons of devices, IoT, etc, and it has been stable.

Latency seems decent. I have an AT&T fiber 2gb symmetrical connection and a ping to google from my Netgate pfSense machine is around 10-15ms.

I used Plex for years, and it is the superior product (if you pay) compared to Open Source alternatives. However, after seeing Plex’s recent incentive pivots and looking for investors I jumped shipped to Jellyfin. The thermometor of enshittification is indicating that Plex is on its way out.

Folks who haven’t looked at alternatives yet, do so now.

I absolutely defended her and rallied folks to vote in that election. I live in Missouri, though, which means we are constantly outnumbered. I tried, though.

Advice for you: drop the internet virtue signaling and assumptive behavior.

I understand the arguments in favor of making everyone pay up, but the PPP loans were forgiven and the same arguments that should have been applied there were not. Very clearly no decision here was made in good faith.
