Could you please update the title with [video] so that we know what to wait from that link.

That’s not a weak outlook, but rather a weak facebook.
theranger | 4 years ago | on: Why does iPhone 13 screen replacement disable Face ID
It would not be a safety issue indeed only until the replacement part includes some mitm hardware that tampers the face id authentication flow. And this can be planted into the genuine looking replacement part as well.

Apple recycles huge amounts of materials from old products. I really hope that people are not following your suggestion and estimate the environmental impact only by iPhone cable and connector port.

And this is not a problem for MacBooks and iPads. Nobody docks them in a cradle or to a car phone stand.

Tell that to a bookeeper who runs aincent software the company has licensed decade ago or to the factory worker who must use a CAD software for a particular CNC machine to prepare the work files.

Because I consider my time more valuable than the cost of the ecosystem. I have no interest to tweak anything, I use the computer to earn my paycheck and constant tinkering and tweaking is not part of it. Open source and free software is free only if you do not value your time enough.

Well, by the time the systemd gets as old as sysvinit currently is, everybody will have the correct one in their muscle memory.

So the admins should really not rant about systemd but complain about the distributions who switched to systemd or about their employers who force them to use such distributions.
theranger | 4 years ago | on: Avoiding Complexity with Systemd
Stagnation of the ecosystem should not be an argument here as systemd is trying to replace the sysvinit that has its roots in Unix System V released almost 40 years ago.

Well, in your first reply you state boldly that
> Since very many other people have vastly different experiences, we can conclude that the author is either very lucky, or that the author does encounter problems, but forget them immediately or don’t consider them “problems”. I.e. that the author has confirmation bias.
Now you say that "hardware companies are almost universally bad at making software, and this should also apply to Apple".
Who's biased now?
Considering my experience with myriad of Apple devices, Android, Linux, Windows and whatever tens and tens of gadgets I owned, I could oppose that although most hardware companies are supposed to be bad at making software, this seems not influencing Apple.
We are all biased to some extent and this should come as no surprise.

Edit: It also seemed they lack any security in the storage room. Even some simple infrared detectors would have helped there. Total oversight from the security perspective.
