Unfortunately, many of these system don't offer any kind of local control, like the ability to monitor and set charge level. You have to use a cloud service with Ecoflow systems, for example.
How are these scores so vastly different between airlines?
I understand the water sources may vary (by airport? not sure?), but if the planes are largely manufactured by Boeing and Airbus, how are the onboard water sources / distribution systems getting contaminated?
Delta being a 5.00 means they're doing something different, but what is it & what control do they have over the plumbing, water systems, etc.?
If you have a holding tank of water like in an airplane, and you never clean it, you’re going to have pathogens build up. Just adding in new fresh water isn’t enough.
But you can have an apple device deployed in your stack to handle the OCR, right? I get on-device is a hardware limitation for many, but if you have an apple device in your stack, can’t you leverage this?
Yeah, but handling macOS is a infrastructure-capacity sucks, Apple really doesn't want you to so tooling is almost none existing. I've setup CI/CD stacks before that needed macOS builders and it's always the most cumbersome machines to manage as infrastructure.
Alright, so now the easy thing is done, now how do you actually manage them, keep them running and do introspection without resorting to SSH or even remote desktop?
How do you manage any EC2 instance “without resorting to SSH”? Even for Linux EC2 instances, the right answer is often tools like Ansible, which do still use SSH under the hood.
You usually provision them via images, that they then either install from or boot from directly. Not to mention there are countless of infrastructure software to run that works for at least Linux, sometimes Windows and seldom even macOS.
I specifically mentioned the imaging capability of EBS for Mac, which you dismissed as the easy part. Now you’re claiming that is the main thing? Well, good news!
And yes, Ansible (among other tools) can be used to manage macOS.
This discussion doesn’t seem productive. You have a preconceived view point, and you’re not actually considering the problem or even doing 5 seconds of googling.
Managing a Mac fleet on AWS isn’t a real problem. If Apple’s OCR framework were significantly above the competition, it could easily be used. I would like to see benchmarks of it, as the other person was also asking for.
I don't buy safety/medical products from Amazon. There was a time (maybe even today still) where those products go into a big bin with no verification of who the actual supplier was (1st vs 3rd party). I don't know how to verify if the issue has been resolved today, but life-critical items such as tourniquets, meds, etc. are expected to be 100% made by the supplier. Unfortunately, the money in the industry is so big that "cheap Chinese knockoffs" are being sold as high-quality replicas, even though they may not meet all the required specs.
There were many cases a few years ago of people buying branded tourniquets, only to be sold fake ones. The item looked genuine, but the integrity of the plastic could not maintain the pressures needed and broke. An emergency is not the time to realize that mistake.
This is awesome!! I can see a major use case for enterprise or government but along with that would come the desire for on-prem. Any chances of that happening?
I'd be happy to build and support an on-prem solution, but I'd a need commitment from an enterprise/government org. If that's something you're interested in, shoot me an email at alex@annotate.dev!
There are still plenty of laws that are not in compliance with the digital age of the 21st century. Some laws only apply explicitly to hardware or physical or physically connected devices and you cannot extrapolate to get the law to apply from software standpoint. In some cases even “wireless” hardware such as a cell phone is legally different from a landline. One case is interfering with emergency calls being a Felony California if it’s a landline but a Misdemeanor if it’s a cell phone. That may be the basis for the drone thing but I’m just guessing.
