true, but also there is no debugging, right? it's apple's software either it works or it doesn't. (i guess other than connectivity issues)

idk if most of my home assistant automations have actually saved me time since i def had to debug them, but the level of satisfaction when they do work is def worth it for me, since i created (and debugged) them haha


Home Assistant automations for me are rarely about saving time, they're about saving mental energy. I no longer need to think about turning off the bathroom lights, my coffee machine is already warm when I go to make my morning coffee rather than standing around waiting for it, and when the washing machine is done I'll get a note reminding me to go empty it.

Yeah this is true however i will use the manufacturer app if Siri or the Home app doesn't work.

can you explain why? what unintended consequences would such a law have?

It was illegal to offer public WiFi hotspot in Germany until about 2018 because any consequences for its illegal use (up to and including fines for downloading movies and prison for downloading child porn) would automatically fall upon the person to whom the IP address was registered.

Imagine if any time someone was caught driving drunk, the registered owner of the car went to jail.

This was fixed in 2018 by adding a special exception to the law. Other countries had public wifi a decade earlier. Germany still doesn't have much.


what is incomprehensible about her actually having paranormal powers


> but the feedback ended up being AI-generated slop...

Wow yeah the feedback is actually useless ai generated slop. Has that happened before?


Something similar happened with another API recently. https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/1198#issueco...


Every time I do report these kinds of bugs it's clear to me they clearly do not look at them lol. The Feedback site still thinks windows 10 is the latest windows version and doesn't even display the latest ios version.


It's unknowable if they look or not consistently across all groups and departments because of their habit of zero feedback/response. I assume they don't look anymore because of assumed overwhelming backlog and lower standards than the past.

Perhaps on their side, AI might be able to consolidate, triage, and perhaps even propose fixes far more scalably than even a huge department of customer support-oriented coders.


I reported a bug in Apple Music on windows where it wouldn't update the audio output until you restarted it. They did a change in a few weeks where they made it update the audio output. Probably team dependent, but I was really amazed by how quick they changed it.


They are looked at.

there is no verification happening though


There is in New York, Brazil, and probably other places too. Attestation is a foot in the door and will become verification when it is shown to be ineffective. And unless the law is defeated, it will provide precedent for further legislative intrusion into personal computing.


First they have to build infrastructure for the future mandatory KYC. So, age field comes first, then comes new Poettering startup to deny you modifications of your Linux, and finally you are not allowed to use a computer unless you present your ID.


Because systemd isn’t an operating system. It’s just providing a mechanism for the OS to store/lookup the user’s birthday. It’s up to individual distros to do the verification (should the law stand and OS vendors choose to comply)


True but I'm very much opposed to building the underpinnings for this stuff. If you build it they will use it.


Besides, my OS has no business knowing my date of birth whatsoever. All it should know is the account name I gave it which of course doesn't have to match my real name.


It boggles the mind how so eagerly open source projects are trying to pave the way for these laws.


this is not attestation though? it's just parental controls, no?


what control panel is perfect for literally every type of project and has no edge cases


there is PEP 671 for that, which introduces extra syntax for the behavior you want. people rely on the current behavior so you can't really change it


I've only so far seen the re9 comparisons and imo it's awful there. lots of colored light transfer is suddenly gone, post processing effects like bloom on street lights is also gone and in general it just looks flat to me now
