Ruckus APs also use OpenWRT. Saw it in a recent update that they pushed to Unleashed software.


Another problem is locked hardware. Newest Synology hardware has lifted the HDD locks but still doesn't allow third party SSD and RAM. Mac Mini storage upgrade is a DIY solution, why not use the standard M.2 2230 slot?

True of NVMe SSDs, but SATA SSDs are no problem.


Yes. These units now come with dedicated NVMe slots and they don't accept third party drives.


I hate this. Archive.today provides a useful service for people like us in developing countries; without archive.today we would not even have luxury to read and document a lot of stuff. In our countries, hard disks are expensive and internet is not fast either. We don't have the luxury to just download; and so many useful Youtube video are just made private after one phone call from Police. Why take it away from us...


Repairability, upgradability and standards compliance needs to be minimum in consumer products. No to proprietary connectors. No soldered SSD or RAM. For home use, allow relaxed licensing options for discarded enterprise products like switches, Wifi Access Points etc. (Juniper Mist APs are fantastic, but are a brick without their cloud). Currently, I cannot put in a market bought SSD in my Macbook. I cannot put in a SSD in my Unifi router without buying their $20 SSD tray. I cannot put third party ECC-RAM and SSDs in my Synology NAS because the policy has only been lifted on HDDs but nothing else. I fear opposite will happen. Only leveraged companies have access to DRAM and NAND and hence will use it to lock us into their ecosystem as consumers won't even get access to storage in the open market otherwise.


lol what even is this article. Embedding a chip into sari so that someone from New York can get whole "biography" of sari, and hence this blockchain adaptation will mitigate economic distress in India by owning the Hermes style of "handcraft" consumerism?


Unfortunately, doesn't mean much. Per capita wise it's among the lowest. GDP of downtown Vancouver surpasses that of richest state of India.


Is that using nominal GDP or PPP?


Tahoe has been giving spinning wheel on Firefox browser since updating it. You switch from spotlight to Firefox, there's the wheel; leave computer alone for sometime and comeback there's the wheel. I want this mess fixed.

Similarly on iOS, Safari bookmarks don't expose all folder names but only "Bookmarks" and "Favourites" as default. Why do I have to do another extra tap to expose a single folder that I have to save bookmark in? Why cannot at least five folder names be exposed? Another absurdity is while saving a fullpage screenshot after cropping it, you have to click the checkmark "emoji" which is otherwise blank with no description, and then comes a sub-menu to save as pdf or photo; why cannot those four options be presented as is on the main menu?

You are definitely not alone:

While there are a few overlapping/similar issues being alluded to in those threads, it definitely seems like something is going on re: task switching. There are also a couple of tricks mentioned that might fix some specific issues related to bookmarks or graphics acceleration, but no silver bullets so far.


I have similar issues with Firefox on Linux, I don't think it's a macOS exclusive problem. Unfortunately it's hard to tell which problems are caused by which component when all of them are unreliable enough that they could be the culprit.


The Firefox issue sounds like a Mozilla issue, not an Apple one. It’s not like Apple doesn’t ship betas for developers to catch issues like that.


"Yellen’s concerns start with the idea that capitalism depends on the consistent application of the law — regardless of individuals’ or businesses’ wealth or political connections. Undermine that, and businesses, both domestic and foreign, will begin to think twice about making investments."

Law upholds capitalism? Can law be bent towards socialism?


And can she point towards such a magical place and time where this was true?


Here's an article (book review) about corruption that I find illuminating: https://archive.is/CBQFY


Yes. It's not like economic systems are either capitalist OR socialist: other economic systems exist, or have existed. Some depend on enforcement of laws, others depend on unequal or selective use of State power.


After this change, accounts created in US will be sought after. Operate them through a US VPN. Voracious appetite for consuming content will be filled by outsiders. US effs up the world with violence, now world is riling up Americans with similarly worded content of their own politicians.


Why couldn't you get any other news media than the HindustanTimes.com; a plainly unhealthy Indian news blog to be consumed. We Indians have to suffer it because we have few options, it's amazing when these unreliable sites are given SEO boost on here too...
