I regularly play UHD HDR content I ripped from my blu-ray collection to my 4k AppleTV over 1Gbs Ethernet. I use the Infuse app instead of Plex, no stutters, no issues, looks great!

One of my greatest treasures as a young computer nerd was a bare 386(I think) chip that I received after sending away for it via an Intel ad I found in Byte magazine. I just had to cut out part of the page and mail it in. Several months later I get a package back with the naked processor glued to stiff card along with a low powered magnifying glass to scope it out with.
Sorry, im a nerd/geek, and I know god does not like nerds/geeks. Our mutual interests do not hold up in heaven. We are all basically wasting our lives on things 99% of girls don't like. And eventually you won't like it either.
I committed a few sins lol and became a noble Saint, so God started speaking to me, decided he didn't like me, and now I'm stuck with a bunch of useless knowledge.
You must not know people very well imo. Most people just want fun/money, that's all they think about. A lot of people lie, cheat, steal, hurt people.
Who do you think triggers these hormones to start being produced?
There's a lot we can do with science that affects our bodies, i.e. steroids. Your citing behavior after hormone manipulation doesn't make sense.
God works slowly on people, once he makes a decision your basically stuck with it. He would not cure balding magically or otherwise just because a person changed their character or repented and reformed.
God might work slowly, but hormone manipulation works fast and predictably. I'm not sure why you'd choose God over hormone manipulation. One is something which is proven to work and proven to work fast, one is riskier, slower-acting and you are on the whims of someone.
I would really love to see an official "hide my email" extension from Apple. I use this feature so much that I go out of my way to use it since I don't use Safari and that's the only integration for HME.
Bonus is that I use a separate subdomain of my custom domain for disposable email addresses which means it never fails email checks (some don't like disposable/temporary email domains).
Doesn’t seem like a bonus. Your custom domain could just be blocked wholesale. Hide my email uses iCloud, not a separate domain. iCloud addresses probably won’t be blocked as that’s the default email given for hundred million plus Apple accounts.
Fastmail by default uses @fastmail.com addresses for masked email, same as their cheapest plan, so when I used it there was never anything blocked except the occasional site that only accepts gmail addresses (yep, they exist). Personally I prefer it that way for personal use, the custom domain sacrifices anonymity, but it might be nice for business users.
Fastmail is still like 0.1% of users. If you're a "growth & engagement" company you're probably better off banning that domain wholesale and as a bonus will get rid of tech-savvy ad/tracker blocker users without making any impact to your target market.
The advantage of iCloud is that it's a domain laymen use - those same laymen the "growth & engagement" scum wants to track and spam. They can't just ban it wholesale without alienating a large chunk of their target market (and a pretty lucrative one at that, since Apple hardware is expensive).
A while ago I ran into the first site that told me I couldn't use my fastmail masked email: remove.bg.
I don't know if they block every fastmail.com address, or if they somehow check if it's a masked email.
Lots of random weirdness for me trying to use mine. Most recent example was trying to checkout as a guest on Little Caesar’s app. Kept declining my Apple Pay transaction without telling me why — changed the email and it worked.
There’s only been a handful of times I’ve used it, maybe 12? At least a few of those times it wouldn’t even let me submit it saying it was an “invalid email”. Couldn’t even get past the validation.
Any idea if using a custom domain would have worked better here? I wouldn't be surprised if some places only accept email addresses from a small set of "known" providers
Companies blocking disposable email domains are doing it to prevent many users from using their service with a disposable email.
A custom domain that only I use specifically for disposable emails would look indistinguishable from any other custom domain out there, and nobody else would have used it for them to even be aware of its existence.
To block it pre-emptively, they’d have to either be omniscient or block every single custom domain in existence. The former I highly doubt is the case, the latter would generally do more harm than good to them.
I used to use an MX record that had mailinator handle nospam.jrock.us email addresses... but stopped doing it for anonymity reason. ("whois nospam.jrock.us" whoops there's my home address!)
The alternative I currently use is letting Gmail handle the spam. I used to be big into jon-foo@jrock.us for "foo" and that sort of thing, but every address ended up on every spam list anyway, and the filtering didn't increase the signal to noise ratio.
For true throwaways I just use mailinator. If I want to receive email from someone someday, I can just create another account. If they spam me, Google will filter it out. So it goes.
You use jon-foo-randomchars@example.com because then you can be sure where the address was leaked from and which companies are selling your email address, and to provide additional signal to the spam filter. If you use just jon-foo@, then that's guessable and you can't go off on them for selling your email address when they said they wouldn't.
I generated a “hide my email” forwarding address specifically for my HN profile last weekend.
Not via a chrome extension, but it’s pretty easy to generate one on any Mac (maybe even iOS?) in system settings. You can name the forwarding address to have different ones for different uses
Edit: re-read your comment and sounds like you’re already doing this manually, like me. I agree it’s a hassle and would love to see a more native UX that doesn’t involve opening system settings
Shameless plug: I've built the unofficial "Hide My Email" browser extension [0], available both in Firefox [1] and Chromium [2]. Tried to make it as frictionless as the Safari UX, which proved to be a challenge given the lack of native HME APIs.
Same for Apple Pay. Given that I mostly buy thing on my computer, and that I don't use Safari there, I basically never use it, even though I would really prefer it over entering/auto-filling my card number.
Apple’s Hide-my-email service is only useful to people who don’t have their own domain-name for email. I assume most of here on HM have a vanity dot-com or dot-me that we just point to GMail (or maybe Office 365 if you lean that way) - all those services (not to mention self-hosted) allow us to set arbitrary, catch-all, and disposable addresses (even the perpetually un-cool O365 supports it now too).
I’ll never use Apple’s Hide-my-email service until they let us use it with our own domain-names. It’s my email mailbox and my dodgy account registration, not Apple’s.
I wouldn’t say it’s only useful for people without vanity domain names - it also adds a level anonymity should the user database get leaked (IE: it’ll be a random HME account that will look like every other, vs your specific domain name)
Also FWIW you can use it with custom domains - I use it with fastmail and have since day one (their version of it isn’t as tightly integrated as Apple but they offer this service as well). Hope this helps!
To confirm, you're saying that Apple will generate something like "randomString@yourDomainName.com"? If so, how can I set that up? I don't see any relevant settings on my phone's iCloud settings page.
I cancelled my Rivian order precisely because they kept on changing my configuration to the point I was still going to pay a huge premium for a vehicle that I didn't intend to order.
I am willing to wait but Rivian and the others have lost so much credibility to deliver that I do not even trust a deposit with them.
So I will continue to wait until manufacturers can ship these things as ordered.
Deleting the option to have the max battery pack along with quad motors was what pushed me over the edge. I was still with them when they removed some of the other gizmos like electric bed cover but the battery and motors are what I really wanted.
If I wanted a dual motor config I'd just have ordered a Ford, which would probably deliver sooner, for less money, and probably better supported in the long run.
Could be worse, you could be GM writing off your loan then selling your investment in Lordstown Motors only to have Foxconn step in to legitimize the business.
I visited their website yesterday and really liked their two models. Beautiful cars, but I just can't fathom spending >CAD100k on one. And that's before tax where I live. Just so unattainable.
Max Pack + Quad is no longer an option for pre-orders and now is Dual Motor + Max pack. The Max pack has likely dropped 1 battery module that it would have had. Power Tonneau is gone but may return.
So mostly the "drastic" things that have changed are related to motor/battery unknowns.
Adventure never included the kitchen or tent you had to purchase it, they just are re-working it and or discontinuing it. The main issue is their lack of communication around timelines.
They have so many issues in their powertrain. I work for a major oem and we chose not to even test the rivian vehicle for competitive benchmarking since the performance was so poor, there was nothing to learn from it.
They are using BOSCH motors and Samsung batteries. At least until their new dual motor config comes out with their own motors. I'd say this is neither poor or great since these are mostly industry standard options.
Munro has done a very detailed teardown of both the Rivian and the Lightning. The main complaint of the Rivian was that it was overbuilt and they are spending too much money. Otherwise, it's been given very high reviews for quality.
I suppose you could argue that the quad motor config is maybe something other OEMs wouldn't take up for many reasons, but it's not a "Poor" choice. It's resulted in one of the most unique vehicles to ever exist, which was probably a very good brand building strategy. The problem with Rivian now is that they haven't been able to pivot to mass market vehicles quickly enough.
the point i am trying to make is about 'vehicle integration'
most of the oems don't make their own emotors. they 'engineer' vehicle attributes and provide the suppliers like Bosch with system level targets. this process is generally referred to as target cascading. if i want motor to sound xdB at driver ear, my vehicle needs to provide ydB isolation and then source needs to be at zdB, if this process is not hashed out well, you end up with poor isolation. you also have to consider variability in source and your manufacturing.
This is the area where an automaker shines or crumbles, doing this poorly results in poor experience and hence poor reliability/quality. most of major oems think rivian is struggling in this area and just now laid of most of the sme's lol
My hunch is that you're experiencing title inflation.
If I am correct, the hiring manager knows you have 4 years experience and isn't necessarily focused on hiring "Senior" but more interested in people who have a proven track record, which 4 years in is.
The way to really distinguish my guess from reality is to ask a lot of questions about the expected duties. If they fall within or near your current experience then you're all set.
If they are asking you to make big decisions about technical direction or influencing development teams then the hiring manager is really looking for a more experience person. Still, in my opinion, if they're giving you an interview and if you think you can meet the expectations then no harm, otherwise you should pass.
Even though it seems like a minor thing, it is pretty liberating to just close up your laptop and carry it around without also carrying a power brick. Even if you're the type who always has a bag and does not mind carrying extra cords, it still is liberating to not have to hunt around for a power outlet. Just set up in the most convenient/comfy place and get to work.
I can work for 4-6 hours on battery anywhere, after that I have to charge. That's with a Surface Pro i7. My point is that how often are you going without recharging your battery to begin with and how often are you not within reach of a plug? At some point it is no longer a top priority for most consumers. Also comparing x86 chips to ARM chips is nonsensical when it comes to battery, given the ARM will ALWAYS win. It's not even a discussion. Why that is downvoted is insane. The performance is less about "Apple silicon" and more about ARM having a massive advantage on power consumption. Compare it to a PC with an ARM chip, it will still beat it across the board but at least it will have been a fair comparison.
> it is pretty liberating to just close up your laptop and carry it around without also carrying a power brick
With USB-C (thanks EU!) that's not a problem anymore, you can bet someone else already brought it or the coworking/bar/friends house/whateverplace has a spare one.
