At one point, an officer walked into an MRI room, past a sign warning that metal was prohibited inside, with his rifle “dangling… in his right hand, with an unsecured strap,” the lawsuit said.
Apple has a long history of working against right to repair and third party repair shops. This includes making it difficult for third parties to source the parts needed and changing the designs to requiring part pairing in the name of security. It got to the point where repair shops were buying broken Apple products so they could hopefully source the parts needed.
Looking through what they provided now, it’s basic stuff any third party repair shop could do if they could source the parts. It’s useful. However good electronic technicians can go beyond that and do board level repairs. But that requires schematics and diagrams. A lot of times they would have to get those through other parties who in turn got them through less than official means or violated NDAs.
Guess what Apple isn’t providing? Board level information. This is just doing the minimum the law requires them to do.

Looks like someone is copying the contents of news articles from various sites, but there is no attribution or anything to tell you where it is from. Searching for the title I found the Time article they copied.

I would treat them with suspicion though. Not sure if they would start sneaking some other stuff in there in a few weeks or months.
The dog ate his concept of prepared notes.
It’s a quirk in Georgia’s law where cruelty to children and their death gets those charges upgraded to murder 2.
Sounds like an annoyatron or a clone. A tiny device that randomly beeps with a time interval just long enough to be hard to find and annoying. They’ve been around for a couple decades.
Yep, this is the judge that owns Tesla stocks and refused to recuse himself.
And just like Taco Bell when something goes bad you get to deal with all the diarrhea.
But seriously, shouldn’t this be in !programminghumor@lemmy.world and not technology?
I don’t know if there is a polite way of putting this, but 3rd parties are a bit crazy. It’s not that 3rd parties are inherently bad, but we’re a first past the post system. 3rd parties tend to act as spoilers to whichever party they are closer to. Until the spoiler effect is fixed, you have to be a little crazy to run as a 3rd party candidate.
And like you mentioned, ranked choice is one of the options to making 3rd parties viable. But the leadership for the democrats is luke warm on it and republicans are actively working against it. It’s going to take a bipartisan grassroots effort to drag these curmudgeons into a better system.
Always is. Accuse your enemies of that which you are guilty of.
lol, I have no idea what that is.
There’s only one thing I add to my coffee: hot water to the fresh grounds when I brew it. I want to taste the coffee, the roast, the sweetness, the acidity, and all the different elements from where it was cultivated, how it was cultivated, and how it was processed. Adding sugar, cream, chicory, or anything else covers up what the coffee brings. Looking back, when I was adding stuff to coffee, I was covering up my poorly understood brew methods.
Now, if if I was inclined to add chicory, it would be to a fairly flat neutral medium-dark to dark roast that doesn’t have much going on. That’s so that I could get a clear taste what the chicory is bringing. But I have as much interest in chicory as I have in other flavored coffees. Which is when I’m feeling morbidly curious.
Now, if you want to add it, you do you. But there is a lot of depth to coffee when you start digging into using good beans with different brew methods, brew recipes, along with that search for the “perfect cup” of coffee.
If you are interested in getting a good cup out of french press, James Hoffmann has a good recipe. It’s basically a modified cupping recipe.
Let me tell you about a little film, ahem an adult film, called Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?.
There’s video from the group Led By Donkeys.
Vaccines shouldn’t be political. What is wrong with some Republicans?
My guess: turn failing big companies into failing little ones.
That isn’t what that article says. It talks about American Rounds and other companies that use vending machine to sell restricted products. A different company Master Ammo found using AI for facial verification to be costly when they looked at it “years ago”. The article doesn’t specify how long ago that was. If it was 12 years ago, which is the age of Master Ammo, I would find that plausible.
The machine for American Rounds was pulled because of “disappointing sales”. Retail space ain’t free, and I bet it has slim margins too.
In any case, the whole endeavor may not be viable in the long run. They either have to get costs low enough to compete with brick and mortar stores and the Big Box stores, or they have to go where none exist while finding enough locations to recoup development costs. The devil’s in the details and unfortunately all the reporting on this has been quick news stories.
I’m surprised Barrett was 1 of the 3 in the dissent.
I have one like that. He’s so fluffy and soft and his fur gets everywhere.
