It’s all good. I’ve been having some of those days for what feels like the past month or two now. Hope work chills out for you!

This is very anecdotal, but both myself and the vast majority of my peers use macOS as their base host system. I work in cybersecurity, specifically offensive penetration testing. Myself, most of my coworkers, and probably half of my peers I’m competing against at local conference CTFs or that I know at local meetups are using a MacBook host with VMs spun up to need.

Something like 75% of my job is done in a Linux VM. Doing it on a MacBook is infinitely more pleasant than any other laptop I’ve ever tried using, regardless of what OS it’s running.

Also, and again extremely anecdotal, the most technical people I’ve ever known were all using hackintoshes when I knew them, and would use MacBooks when away from the home/office.

I really don’t understand where this “Mac products are for non-technical people who want to appear technical” trope comes from. MacOS is a phenomenal product for non-technical people. My partner is the least technical person in the world, but they started using macOS in art school and found it intuitive and easy to use. As a technical person, I appreciate the polished UI built on top of the Unix kernel and that I can do everything I need to do from a terminal shell. The fact that the product is excellent for both wildly disparate types of users is testament to how great it is imo.

Yeah, I thought that would land better.

You are right:

You should have gone with “correct”.

Holy shit that got spicy. I was not expecting a Ukrainian and a Serb to start bickering back and forth while stacking racks over the level of support a country gave to the Nazis in WW2 on a kernel mailing list like they were in the comments here on Lemmy.

I get that tensions are high, and for many people the geopolitical reality is their homes being used as cover on an active front line, but like bro your actual fucking name is attached to these messages. At least I keep my most unhinged shit on a semi-anonymous platform. They need to lock it the fuck up.

Edit - jfc, a few messages later somebody comes in with something along the lines of “Taiwan isn’t a country, it’s part of China. When reunification comes sanctions won’t be appropriate against Chinese entities.” Is Lemmy just a front end for this mailing list and I had no idea this entire time?

I mean is there a material pronunciation difference between the two conjunctions? I don’t think so, but I can still somehow manage to work out what people mean when they say use “your” and “you’re” in the same spoken sentence.

You probably want to check out the infuse app for playback on your Apple TV instead of the regular plex client. Once I swapped over every playback issue I was experiencing on my Apple TV went away.

I have one degree of personal separation from Brian Krebs, it makes me feel way cooler than it probably should lol.

Here I’ve built software that can detect the difference between good guys and bad guys, it uses Artificial Intelligence.

The non credible defense bucket.

I really don’t think they intended for everyone to buy it. I think they wanted to get it out into devs and enthusiasts hands, and let people who are interested but not!willing to spend that much money demo it in an Apple Store. They gives time for apps to get tested, independent devs time to port their apps over and iron out any bugs, etc.

I feel like the fact that the first one didn’t move even 100k units but they’re still working on a second generation one that will cost less proves that. That’s kind of what everyone’s being saying about this ever since the price was first announced.

Bruh. Obviously. The person said pay off their mortgage, which is distinctly different from making a mortgage payment. Jfc.

Also, the Vision Pro isn’t outrageously expensive, it’s just expensive. It’s not even just Apple. MSI, Asus, Lenovo, Dell, and Acer all have laptops in the $3,000+ range. I don’t really understand what your point is really, there’s tons of shit that I couldn’t afford for the decade I made minimum wage, but that I can afford now that I make much more. I wasn’t mad those things existed when I couldn’t afford them, and I definitely didn’t think they shouldn’t exist just because they were out of my budget.

It’s $3,500. That’s the price of a specced up MacBook Pro. That’s almost half the price of the Pro Display XDR. I mean I didn’t buy one because it is pretty expensive, plus I barely use my Index, but it’s definitely not “pay of your mortgage” level of expensive.

My dude. You are not a serious person. I’m blocking you so I don’t waste my time with you in the future. Enjoy your life I guess.

Wow you found three different articles, all about the same CVE, that the manufacture published a firmware patch for before any public disclosure was made. That’s definitely just as bad as pretending you don’t know about CVEs in your products lol.

You presented one that doesn’t have security vulnerabilities? Here’s yet another CVE out for trendnet: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-19239

Every. Single. Brand. Has. CVEs. I’ve used Mikrotik, I’ve used Cisco, I’ve used Juniper, I’ve used Ubiquiti. I have a trendnet Poe switch in my attic powering some cameras and an AP right now. I have no “problem” with any brand of anything.

I do have a problem with you implying that a company doesn’t take security seriously when they do. I start to think you’re intentionally lying when you lift up trendnet as the model, because they have quite an especially atrocious history of it.

We can go back and forth on RCEs literally all day. If your bar for using a product is “no RCEs”, get off the grid entirely my guy.

MikroTik is just as serious a network company as Cisco or Juniper, and vastly more serious from an enterprise networking point of view than trendnet.

Also where tf did OP mention anything about warranties?

Edit - lol holy shit look how customer focused trendnet is! They just plugged their ears and pretended an unauthenticated RCE in their product didn’t exist haha. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/04/no-patch-for-remote-code-execution-bug-in-d-link-and-trendnet-routers/

Edit - oof yikes look there’s more. https://www.nccgroup.com/us/research-blog/technical-advisory-multiple-vulnerabilities-in-trendnet-tew-831dr-wifi-router-cve-2022-30325-cve-2022-30326-cve-2022-30327-cve-2022-30328-cve-2022-30329/
