  That’s only 10 Petabytes per cartridge. The Internet Archive is currently sitting at 212 Petabytes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple shows its 'massive battleship' is getting tougher to move⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But, without disruptive new products, sales seem to be stuck in a muted place. And the next swing at big disruption, Vision Pro, starting next year, feels a like a slow build, initially.

  Fuck stock market analysts. In one sentence it’s “they don’t innovate.” In the next sentence it’s, “they innovate, but I want them to do it faster.”

  How often can you expect a single company to disrupt entire markets? These expectations are not sustainable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who came first, the programmer or the code?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The links from that post and top comment point out that that initiative was dropped. It got mired down in bikeshedding from hundreds of opinions and SO eventually just said, “Fuck it.”

  The MIT announcement thread was edited with the cancellation announcment:

  Update: January 15, 2016

  Thank you for your patience and feedback. The changes proposed here have been delayed indefinitely - we’ll be back later to open some more discussions.

  The top comment from your link points out the current license:

  You’re supposed to do that anyway. Code on SO is licensed as CC BY-SA, which requires attribution.

  Again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple removes app created by Andrew Tate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s what I want. For the government to tell me who I am or am not allowed to spend money with. I’m sure that wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.

  Firefox has been very good (better than Chrome) for several years. Ever since they released Quantum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonarr (dev) now supports postgres⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was curious too, so I looked into their Github issues. Apparently, SQLite doesn’t play well with k8s due to the distributed/networked nature of the environment. According to comments in the pull request, that seems to be the main driver. And apparently, Radarr already has a Postgres option.

  Though, there are requests going back to 2017 to support it…just because, I guess? That person seems to just want all their data in one DB for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There wasn’t even a maximum on the contract. When I got my first two phones, I agreed to a 2-year cellular contract. If I closed my account or moved providers before that, I had to pay AT&T some amount of money to kill the contract. After those two years were up, I could do whatever I wanted. I was then on a month-to-month payment, like standard cell plans today. They just wanted to make sure to recoup their money over 2 years for subsidizing my cheaper phone upfront.

  Now, the subsidization is more like a subscription fee, where there are additional fees on the bill each month toward the phone and the cell phone company encourages you to get a new one once it’s paid off. You’re still paying full price for a phone. Possibly forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Internet is not forever after all: CNET deletes old articles to game Google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  However, before deleting an article, CNET reportedly maintains a local copy, sends the story to The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, and notifies any currently employed authors that might be affected at least 10 days in advance.

  People are freaking out so bad about this story. They’re doing the right thing and archiving it before deletion. Settle down.

  How many CNET articles from 2004 are you reading that you’re getting this angry about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an iPhone 8 and see no reason to update in the near future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vodafone Finds Brits Keep Mobile Phones for 4 Years Instead of 2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When smartphones first took off, each new one was a large upgrade

  And they were subsidized by the cell phone company, so they only cost $200 (In many places in the US, at least).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you manage your dotfiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I store them in Dropbox and symlink them to their correct location.

  I do that instead of the standard Git method because it means I don’t have to worry about remembering to sync each computer. Everything syncs immediately.
