Or, alternatively, coms management is important and formally declaring an incident is an important part of outage response - going from “hey Bob something isn’t looking right can you check when you get a sec” to “ok, shits broken, everyone put down what you are working on and help with this. Jim is in charge of coordinating the technical people so we don’t make things worse, and should feed updates to Mike who is going to handle comms to non-technical internal people and to externals” takes management input

Most of them block everything other than ports 80 and 443, so unless you’ve set the gateway up to run on one of those ports it’ll probably not work

I’ll lose my tabs!

Por qué no los dos?

I had a client once who used to be obsessed with this. By his logic, if a potential customer visited the website and had a bad experience because the site didn’t work properly in their browser, they’d think the company was unprofessional and wouldn’t come into the store and we’d lose them as a customer forever. Analytics showed that 99+% of people would visit in one of the big three, and he wouldn’t pay for someone to test the site on the less popular browsers, instead he insisted on fingerprinting logic that broke all the time and probably caused more bounces than any possible rendering quirks from niche mobile browsers would have caused

I spent a couple of years doing contract work in a team that built the APIs that ran behind a fairly complex site; they understood that I was helping build the site, but really didn’t get that I had nothing at all to do with the UI or content, and yes thank you for your suggestions about the layout but that’s not something that I can “just go fix it” because a) change control is a thing and b) that part of the site is maintained by an entirely different team, from a different company, and I don’t have access to their source code

Look, it’s all about authorial intent - if the author had wanted their book to be easy to reference or accessible to people who use screen readers, they would have published a DRM free PDF in the first place. Gotta respect the artist’s vision.

We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.

It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this

Because Google is great at naming things, you might be getting confused between a few distinct products:

• Android Auto lets you tether your phone to your head unit (via USB cable, some units support wireless connections as well), and access cut down versions of some apps on your phone via the head unit - it’s pretty common on first party units on late model cars, and has the advantage that you don’t need a data plan (it uses your phone) and don’t need to keep your phone and your car in sync - everything is running on your phone directly. Apple has an equivalent called CarPlay
• Android Automotive is a special version of Android designed to run directly on head units - it’s licensed to OEMs and usually skinned to match the manufacturers branding. I’ve never seen Android Automotive in the wild (it’s only available on first party units for some specific model cars), and I’m not really clear if you can install arbitrary Android apps or not
• Some after-market head units come with Android installed (they are essentially tablets in a head unit form factor with the appropriate I/O connections on the back) - depending on how professional the manufacturer is, they might brand this as “Android Auto”, even though it has nothing to do with real Android Auto. These typically will never see an update, and probably don’t meet the IP as specifications they claim. You can typically install whatever apps you want, but make sure you understand your local laws, where I live having a screen playing video “within eye line of the driver” will get you a fine and points on your license, so playing YouTube while driving is probably a great way to have an awkward conversation with highway patrol

Then you load up your site, go “oh, those ads make my site look like garbage”, and turn the plugin off. Ads don’t magically appear, someone has to actively decide that they want them and that they are happy with the trade off for user experience

Idk. Sure, use an ad blocker, but the medium is also content - if the comic author wants their site to be so full of ads that their content is unreadable then tbh I’m probably going to give up reading. Ads like that don’t just happen by accident - ad placement is just as much an artistic decision as the colour palette they use

it wasn’t an engineering decision

It’s ok, we all need a wetware update every so often

x86 is deprecated in AOSP, iirc x86_64 is supported (the official SDK emulators are x86_64) but you will probably run into plenty of apps that don’t ship native components compiled for anything other than ARM.

You understand that “Palestine” and “Hamas” are not synonyms, in the same way “Afghanistan” and “Taliban” aren’t right?

You might have a hard time selling the buds at or near MSRP cos I suspect a lot of people will be doing the same

Can’t sell Google Drive storage subscriptions if everyone has tons of storage on their device

My issue has been the right earbud getting capped at ~10% volume - left is fine, right is almost inaudible. Luckily didn’t have the battery issues others had with 2.0.0

All I can say is don’t buy the Sony wf-1000 series. My XM4s are in for warranty repair for the second time in 6 months.
