Very cool.

I once did something similar using sockets and Cloudflare's Durable Objects. I had my current playing song, workout minutes and git commit count.

It was a bit unreliable when I switched to Apple Music so it's gone away for now.

This has inspired me to make it again.

Thanks.

Your project also sounds interesting. I did think about how I could add/track loads of different things on my site, but given it's a static website, I decided to keep things simple.

Music was a bit tricky to track and the update frequency would have been too high for my site so I just left it out for now. Maybe I'll go back and change that one day in the future if I change my mind.

I... I think I love it.

Another device for the e-waste pile. I'd rather pay for working software than another iDevice.

I’m getting extremely annoyed that I have to keep paying ~30% more than other platforms for iOS subscriptions.

I’ve already bought the device. I’m already paying for iCloud. How much money does this business really need to squeeze from me?

If I could download and install apps directly from their makers, I would. Just like I can on my Mac.

We shouldn’t let this business model continue.

It's always the second flip

The first flip collapses the wave function so that it has a definite orientation at all. The second flip then achieves the correct orientation.

The wavefunction collapses on the first attempt to plug in: it's always the wrong way.

If that were true then it would work on the second try. In reality it's always the wrong way on the second try.

The second flip is to rotate it around the 4th axis.

Why only in the EU?

Because they're compelled to do so by EU law, they don't want to do this and no one else forces them to.

Only the EU is requiring them to do it, but other governments might start pushing for it given the upsides

This is what I don't get. Surely they know this is coming everywhere. Malicious compliance just looks like a dummy spit and hurts consumers.

It's Apple, it's not the first time they try malicious compliance way, it won't be the last, it really seems to be the only way they can comply with the law.

AFAIK crowdstrike can push updates at any time at any host. There are staging areas they may use, but don't have to (particularly for definitions updates).

Crowdstrike should have done a better job, but Delta chose them (to offload the responsibility and work) and now they're claiming foul. They knew the risk. This is a classic executive play of claiming the fault lies in the consultants/vendor and taking no responsibility.

Just shows how many planes would be falling out of the sky if there weren't federally mandated safety systems, secondary hydraulic circuits, and failover hot spares at nearly every layer of the stack. Delta should've had backup systems, just like their planes do.

I'm not sure how "you should never use CrowdStrike" is an argument in CrowdStrike's favor.

I guess you're saying they shouldn't have outsourced in the first place? Which does sound like the correct conclusion in this case...

I'm not trying to defend CrowdStrike, but pointing to the fact Delta is the one maintaining and owning critical infrastructure and the executives trying to shift this responsibility onto someone else is the reason this happened in the first place. :)

Okay, good to know. I always thought those embedded systems would be a real pain to maintain.

No. The update was forced
