Not entirely crazy narrative from Apple either. The "leaks" brought a massive boost to his channel. We've seen YouTubers do crazier things to get attention before. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Wouldn't be surprised if it just gets settled out of court for an undisclosed amount though.
I would think the logic runs exactly the opposite way. Browser diversification would make not using chromium the good thing, rather than not using gecko.
AFAIK, McDonald’s does this with their mobile app (they weren’t letting me log in with my password) But the problem with their implementation was that the magic link that they send you is wrapped in a click tracker whose domain is blocked by pihole (and the likes), and I could not reach the actual auth URL to complete the login process.
A more sensible thing that should've been done is to tokenize the case ID so that you can't just guess it with a numerical range. Also important that you don't leak your key business metrics (# of support cases over time).

That's exactly the problem these Asian countries want to avoid/address: as soon as you deviate from the standardized test scores, you lay yourself open to potential biases and discrimination.
> Remind me of where the best universities in the world are again?
Quality of Bachelors programs (which is what's being discussed here) has pretty much zero bearing on how universities are ranked.
I think the point is that the audience might like to know whether confident claims that something is legal or illegal are backed by actual expertise or just vibes, not that things people say on a web forum are legally binding.
There’ve been lawsuits. Anything can happen in court, but emulators are currently about as settled as “legal” as anything. Including commercial ones. Sure, in the US.
Can’t distribute games or other copyrighted software with them, though. Of course that’s still highly likely to get you in trouble. And with the same caveat as anything legal in the US: it’s as legal as your ability to weather a series of failing lawsuits against you.
Does anyone know of a good text normalization (?) library that converts symbols and initialisms into plain English before feeding them into a TTS model? All the models that I've used so far do a horrible job at synthesizing speech for them and I'm wondering whether this is the missing piece in the pipeline.
Ive been trying to understand the motivations theyve had for killing off so many products. I cant wrap my head around it. They bought VmWare and then shit on 85% of its paying customers and profit drivers (OEM) claiming profit driven cuts, but i dont get how they see the end of that play? And now they are backhanding anyone who has uses for ESXi free.. to what end?
Like what is the long term goal? And what does that look like at the end? Are they going to try and turn VmWare into a cloud only platform the likes of aws/gcp? Thats the only final destination i can think of that even remotely makes sense given the product chopping block
As it was explained to me, there's enough cream in taking the top 10% of customers direct, that ruining all their other relationships is worth it.
At least in the short term. Because if you are a VMWare partner who just had your biggest customer taken away from you to go Broadcom direct, you are probably now a HyperV, ProxMox or X Cloud shop, looking to lure your big whale back.
We started pushing people away from VMWare when the Broadcom acquisition hit and its been constantly reinforced as a great idea.
VMware clearly doesn't want any new customers and I suspect they haven't had any for years anyway. The plan is to move existing customers to subscription bundles (I don't see how that's different from a perpetual license plus support contract but whatever). The products aren't changing that much but some customers will have to buy a larger bundle to get the features they want. I assume the OEM licensing will come back just with different pricing.
Could you provide a list of names who can/are willing to do it for less? I think our executive recruiting folks (from a lage-cap company) would be more than happy to get some referrals :)
