Makes me wonder if this is an ADA requirement for education devices. (assistive listening devices)

Not even ADA - kids all get headphones to listen to education materials. Wired headphones are way, way easier to manage.

There’s also plenty of room for it which is why it continues to appear on all MacBooks.


That site could use a little more. Maybe a count of how many in the current month and year, tallies for each year, maybe even trends. Could be nice. :)

Too late to create a 0 days since github outage, Too early to create a crypto rugpull about this whole situation.

Born just in time to talk about this situation on hackernews xD (/jk)

> Too slow: https://github-incidents.pages.dev/

I am not even mad that I am slow honestly, this is really funny lol.


This seems really low considering one of the early warning radars taken out cost around $1bil on its own.... and it's possible a second one was at least damaged. (one in Qatar the other in Bahrain)

NSA (Naval support) Bahrain lost a ground station (maybe two), not a radar.

I believe Qatar(?) lost part of a THAAD system which is expensive. But that money has already been spent.

The contract to rebuild it will mean huge profits too. The circle of life (MIC).

This is a Keynesian argument, which has largely been disproved. Keynes famously said if you just paid people to dig holes and fill them back up again, that this would be net stimulative to the government. It works until it doesn't work, because digging holes, as you can reason from common sense, does not actually create value.

This U.S. operation is meant to bomb the Iranians into the Stone Age, so presumably THAAD-level air defense wouldn't be needed again. The Qataris, Saudis would have sold off to South Korea, Taiwan if they wanted.


Possibly. There are a lot of things around that story that seem very off

Aside from the obvious bad AI images floating around the one credible looking video shows a shaheed flying into a radome. A Radome in the middle of a bunch of buildings. You don't put radars in between buildings. And if it's a phased array I don't think it would be in a round Radome either.

They seem to have hit something of value, but don't think it was a 1bn radar

Everything around this smells like the Iran hilariously oversized F35 misinformation

The only footage I've seen is damage to maybe a satellite receiver. Have you seen proof of the radar damage

[flagged]


Not helpful, this is an AI generated post.

We do have actual video of that one radome in Bahrain getting directly struck (from multiple angles). It's possible it was a satellite communication antenna and not a radar.

But the still images shown with before/after are AI generated. (the surrounding buildings are completely different in the before/after image).

The radar that is likely to have been damaged is the one in Qatar, here is reporting from an NPR editor using Planet satellite imagery: https://nitter.net/gbrumfiel/status/2028227786750476627


codeberg might be a little slower on git cli, but at least it's not becoming a weekly 'URL returned error: 500' situation...

These days it feels like people have simply forgotten that you could also just have a bare repository on a VPS and use it over ssh.

Most developers don’t even know git and GitHub are different things…

I've found that a bare repo over SSH is the simplest way to keep control and reduce attack surface, especially when you don't need fancy PR workflows. I ran many projects with git init --bare on a Debian VPS, controlled access with authorized_keys and git-shell, and wrote a post-receive hook that runs docker-compose pull and systemctl restart so pushes actually deploy. The tradeoff is you lose built-in PRs, issue tracking, and easy third party CI, so either add gitolite or Gitea for access and a simple web UI, or accept writing hooks, backups, receive.denyNonFastForwards, and scheduled git gc to avoid surprises at 2AM.

I mean, this isn't a 'URL returned error: 500' situation for anything that Codeberg provides considering this is an issue with Copilot and Actions.

Except actually it was, that was what my git client was reporting trying to run a pull.

I'm going to trust the constant stream of updates from the company itself which shows exactly what went down and came back up rather than a random anecdote.

I only found this post because I decided to check HN after getting HTTP 500 errors pulling some repos.

If you look at the incident details it also claims most services were impacted.

Recent years have shown this to be the wrong prediction strategy. The reason seems to be an incentive imbalance where there are quite a few reasons for companies to lie (including their own CLAs) and not a lot of repercussions for doing so (everybody competes on lock-in, not on product). Of course, the word-of-mouth approach is also exploitable by dishonest actors, but thus far there doesn’t look to be a lot of exploitation going on, likely because there’s little reason to bother (once again, lock-in is king).

This seems intelligent, after all companies are incapable of making errors in reporting and also have absolutely no incentive to lie about stuff like that. Those 500 errors others have reported as experiencing must have just been the wind.

I used to use codeberg 2 years ago. I may have been ahead of my time.

I rarely successfully get Codeberg URLs to load. Which is sad because I actually would very much like to recommend it but I find it unreliable as a source.

That being said, GitHub is Microsoft now, known for that Microsoft 360 uptime.


I have never had this issue. IIRC Codeberg has a matrix community, they are a non-profit and they would absolutely love to hear your feedback of them. I hope that you can find their matrix community and join it and talk with them

Actually here you go, I have pasted the matrix link to their community, hope it helps https://matrix.to/#/#codeberg-space:matrix.org


> Microsoft 360 uptime

I mean... It's right in the name! It's up for 360 days a year.


I mean... you understand the scale difference right?

> Maybe it is an exception?

The ThinkPhone is an exception, yeah. It’s similar to older Android One phones like their Moto X4. Not different because you are in EU, US models get same treatment.

The razr and edge lines do not get as reliable monthly updates and ship with bloatware.


Oops, it's back now though...

No, they raise price because they can and demand isn’t showing signs of stopping despite increased prices. This won’t affect whether there’s a shortage or not, besides we’re not talking direct to consumer float product, they inked commitments.

If they didn’t have a documented history of running cartel price fixing schemes for LCD/OLED display tech, NAND, and DRAM, I’d maybe agree with you but we have the history. They cry every time about China ‘dumping’ for not going along with the racket.


> All of these devices lie to me, that I lost less than 20% of battery health. Where in reality it’s somewhere between 25-50%, and when they wouldn’t pretend that maximum output is any way a good indicator of the real battery life, aka how long you can use a device.

FWIW, I've only directly witnessed this so far on Oneplus devices, others have remarked the health gauge on these seem to use gacha mechanics where health % will be all over the place. (like >10% variability). I have theories as to why this happens, it's in firmware not OS as LineageOS shows same behavior.... but tough to really know for sure if this was by design or not.

Oh and charge thresholds only do so much, heat kills batteries reliably fast. Deep discharges under 20% or so seem to run more risk of electrolyte breakdown. Don't fear fast charge in bulk charge range, it causes less wear than other factors. I slammed the 65W charge into my 8T's and still got years of >80% battery, replacement wasn't too hard to do on these.


Does anyone know if the subscription can be shared with family?

I was looking at the in-app purchases list and it doesn't explicitly have a family-sharing plan like Weather Line does.

This looks great and I'd definitely consider switching my family Weather Line plan over to an Acme Weather family plan if it becomes possible.


I am on the free trial and it did not extend to my family. Unsure whether this will change when the trial converts to a paid subscription.

Yes please devs, make this subscription shareable with family


It is not paywalled....

I posted it because the site was overloaded and would not load at the time…
