Damn. As a die hard Sync for Reddit fan for years, donated lifetime license and having recently come back to Sync for Lemmy and feeling like it was a long lost friend, really really sad and heartbreaking to hear this.

link fedilink 4 months ago1·arrow-up I hate to say it, but I don’t actually think they would (I might be wrong)… For a country like the UK to jump in, it needs its population to be in support. If it jumps into an armed conflict without the support of its population, it will have its own revolution to deal with.
I think we’ll see a similar, albeit more committed version of the type of response Ukraine received… Military equipment aid, sanctions against US, humanitarian aid.
The same goes with NATO Article 5… US makes up the majority of NATO funding contributions, and European countries have to contend with a continuously brazen Putin… With US threatening to pull away from NATO, it would be countries like Poland and Germany that will step up against Russia, so no capacity to support Canada…
I really really really hope I’m wrong.
It fucking sucks all around.

link fedilink 2 years ago7arrow-up 2·arrow-down While I think these companies should definitely be regulated, I’m not sure how feasible or sustainable it is to nationalize them. It might curtail competition from fostering, if people who are responsible for introducing disruptive companies are less incentivized from creating companies.
As much as I’m not a fan and I’m highly critical of Musk, one can’t deny the disruptive impact his companies have had on the industries, and him forcing traditional car manufacturers to innovate. If his companies get nationalized, would that discourage others from creating potentially positively disruptive companies that would force existing industries to innovate?

link Englishfedilink 2 years ago31arrow-up 2·arrow-down In what world are “unlimited” and “all you can eat” synonymous with “too far”?
“Too far” implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business’s ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don’t advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that’s false advertisement.

link Englishfedilink 3arrow-up 1·arrow-down 2 years agoedit-2 I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It’s much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.
As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn’t say I agree with “more people need to leave it”, I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).

link Englishfedilink 5arrow-up 1·arrow-down 2 years agoedit-2 The root of the issue was identified by a third party repair shop, narrowing down to two capacitors that were providing the wrong voltage, preventing the MacBook Air to boot up.
While I agree that a repair shop technician is certainly more technically skilled and trained to find those issues than an apple genius bar associate, it is up to Apple to ensure that they equip their associates with the right tools and processes to identify the root cause prior to providing a quote, and even more so to inform the customer prior to performing the work order, or charging the customer.
Coincidentally, I just came back from a battery swap of my MacBook, and in my experience, there was confirmation at every step of the way before proceeding, even down to email receipts, to ensure that I understand the problem, and approve the work order. In this lady’s case, someone fucked up big time.

link Englishfedilink 2 years ago10·arrow-up As a manager who WFH, if managers are ineffective at their job, it’s either that they suck, or their org structure causes them to suck.
If upper management wants a manager to manage 30 people, of course they will suck.
Keep the team to 8 max so the manager can actually do some hands on technical work as well.
I’m particularly fond of the Gripen. Just an opinion, but personally I hope we get our hands on those. But regardless, even if we get the best available fighter in the world, without the numbers, and the maintenance infrastructure, budget, resource and training to support them, it wouldn’t matter anyways
