I assumed there was something wrong with my setup because this UX is insane. Good to know it’s just shit.

That’s not possible without a permission prompt (on both iOS and android). So there’s no changing the goalposts like you suggest, without the user giving explicit permission.

51·10 months agoThe fact that they’re owned by Automattic makes it a total write-off for me.
That 2013 won’t be getting security updates anymore. Apple only tends to provide security updates for 10 years. I’d be cautious with that honestly.
Unfortunately that’s not really true since the M1 series, because there were no drivers for any of the custom Apple hardware. There is a purpose built Apple Sillicon distro but it doesn’t even run on M3 or M4 macs yet.

1·1 year agoAre these genuinely being hand rolled in an enterprise environment? Unless it’s completely impossible to automate then I can’t be sympathetic to companies that are just doing it wrong.

20·1 year agoWho is buying SSL certs for $300? Is this an enterprise thing? I’m using free certs on AWS. LetsEncrypt is also fine for self-hosting.

21·1 year agoI have no issue with the stealth part given that it can only recognise audio which is already publicly available. If you don’t want people to know what you’re listening to, just don’t play it loudly in public.
This project also wouldn’t be possible if people were aware of it (it would just be gamed and certainly removed).

3·1 year agoExactly this. When you procure custom hardware, you’re paying (a lot) for the vendor to ensure that each unit meets the specifications you provide. If you validate off the shelf hardware like this, there is no guarantee that another batch of the same sku will also meet your requirements. Imagine training on these controllers then a certain batch of them has wildly different sensitivity.

2·1 year agoThanks for the correction. I was definitely out of date, what I said was only true during the USB 3 era.
So this is an optional part of the USB 4 spec, but from what I can tell this is required for PCs shipping with Windows 11 and USB 4 ports. Yes, this seems like more manufactured confusion courtesy of USB IF.

If you’re expecting shit data then you’d have unit tests for those cases so you’d know what to expect.
