This is untrue. Apple was fighting EU the entire time trying to avoid a switch to USB-C on iPhones. EU representatives were publicly critical of Apple, eventually Apple was forced to give in.
I realize a conspiracy narrative gets more clicks but … you know Apple started the development of USB-C and shipped some of the first devices in 2015, right? People whined about the MacBooks requiring new hubs, etc. for a couple of years and got over it. The same thing happened with the iPad in 2018, AirPods, etc.
When they introduced Lightning in 2012, they made a commitment to all of the third-party hardware developers that iPhones would support it for a decade. I’m sure the EU pressure helped but USB-C iPhones shipping in 2023 is right on that original timing.
But why would Apple, the company that famously hates backwards compatibility, make things easier for third-party accessory manufacturers, instead of making things easier for users bought into the ecosystem who had USB-C on their iPads and Macs?
Sure, I’m not saying they’re altruists. I just think the most likely explanation is that they promised compatibility under the “Made For iPhone” program and kept that promise because they’ve been in business long enough to know that screwing people who supported your last product is a great way to ensure they don’t support your next one.
I’m not: each thing I wrote is common knowledge—read the Wikipedia pages for the Lightning and USB-C pages if you don’t believe me—and it’s a little silly to spin this as something other than large companies not making massive supply chain changes quickly. I’m glad USB-C has won but you don’t change things deployed in the hundreds of millions in a year–I saw an original iPhone connector in the wild as recently as last year!
Truth is, apple didn't want to migrate their phones due to some internal decision not relevant for us, and the fact some other devices were on it doesn't change this. Users comfort was never part of the equation, its politics, sales projection, stabs at competition and similar.
Truth is, apple fought EU hard, we saw it from inside quite well. Backstabs, some cheap tricks trying to delay and evade this, even when it was clear how things will be. Not their best days to be polite.
Why giving some heartless mega corporation free moral credits if they are not well deserved?
People can and do fight things they agree with on the principle of not wanting to do something because they were told to. You fight it just to say “you can’t tell me what to do” (for precedent) not just to actually defend a position you believe in. Even if the other side wins, they had to pay a cost that may discourage or at least raise the floor for future regulatory efforts.
It's super fast if you use Native AOT. My entire application starts up in 0.3 seconds, that includes Avalonia and all my code too. It does use more memory than I'd like though, about 200 MB.
Actually, the great thing about this show is that it doesn't focus so much on the actual zombies, that just gets boring fast. This show is story driven and I really like that.
Agreed. Zombies usually require a lot of suspension of disbelief and the humans to make frustrating mistakes for the zombies to do anything meaningful.
Also my wife would absolutely not watch the show if there were zombie suspense scattered through every episode.
I haven’t played the games though so maybe my expectations would have been different.
Why Scandinavia? I live in Sweden and senior developers around here make less than half of what it seems like junior developers make in the US, and that's before taxes.
Salaries in sweden are good! But if you arent satisfied go with cool company and a consultancy broker eg. Nikita (I recommend them warmly - they are very honest!) and start making some greens!
Eh, no. I'm sure they try but more often than not my YouTube is streaming from Amsterdam according to http://redirector.c.youtube.com/report_mapping, I live in Stockholm and have a 250 MBit connection. So instead of blazing fast speeds I get buffering like I'm on a modem.
I've found no way of reporting this issue, my ISP did not know either. I worked around the issue myself with hundreds of lines like this "74.125.163.38 r1---sn-5hn7ym76.googlevideo.com r1.sn-5hn7ym76.googlevideo.com" in my router hosts file. This finally made videos buffer pretty much instantly.
2^128 ip-addresses / 10 million packets a second = 7.8 * 10^13 times the age of the universe [1]
To actually scan the entirety of ipv6 address space in under 6 minutes you would need to send 1 billion billion billion billion packets a second [2], or 100 octillion times faster than 10 million packets a second. [3]
Assuming ideal conditions, a 10GbE adapter uses about 20W to send at most about 15 million packets per second. Assuming no improvements in efficiency (unlikely), the network adapter that could do this would use 3500 times the power of the sun for that six minutes[1], which would be an amount of energy comparable to the kinetic energy of the Earth orbiting the sun (1/6th) [2]. That amount of energy would be enough to more than boil the oceans[3], it would practically liquefy the Earth. It would be enough energy to ionize a ball of water the size of the earth into plasma, according to some sources, but I'm skeptical that 10000 Kelvin water at that volume would remain a plasma for long.
tl;dr: We won't be scanning the IPv6 address space any time soon. And hopefully not on Earth.
