In 1999, the iBook was US$1599 (equivalent to $2925 in 2023) (source).
The 2010 13" Air was $1299 (more in today's $) (source).
The current 13" M3 Air is $1099 (source).
So yeah, they may well raise prices, but the cost of Apple's entry-level hardware has decreased in absolute terms over the years, and has decreased substantially if inflation is taken into account. Not to say the margins aren't higher (no idea about that), but it's interesting.
I'm usually against large institutions colluding together to kill off other institutions...
...but if the major research universities and labs all agreed to stop publishing in backwards for-profit journals, well I wouldn't exactly cry about it.
Whaddya need that for, Dude?
I'll push back on that a little. Peloton has, from the beginning, been a very closed ecosystem.
Contrast this to the smart trainer I have which is marketed to cyclists (a Wahoo KICKR). It uses standard protocols to talk, and while they have some software available, it works independent of their ecosystem on standards compliant equipment (ANT+ and BLE). You can even talk to it using the open source GoldenCheetah software.
I would say I own this device. Sure I can't necessarily hack the firmware easily, but I can't hack the firmware on my microwave easily either, but I'd say I own that, too.
Right, you can control that behavior in bash with the HISTCONTROL variable, and in zsh with setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE :)
Linux is just as bad though
.zsh_history records every command you run!
(/s, obviously...)
Honest question, are there any reasons why a private citizen performing this sort of thing would be legally less of a problem than the state?
From a philosphical perspective I'm all for catching mail thieves. But I would get a little twitchy hearing that the police are mailing tracking devices. And I would be more or less ok with a private citizen helping to "catch the bad guy" with their security camera, but I do not want police surveillance cameras on my street, thank you very much.
Does the stock necessarily get liquidated for these sorts of transactions though?
Obviously if I owe the bank $100, they will want that in cash, not in $SPY or whatever. But for the Twitter levels of debt could stock just be transferred without being sold first? (Not a rhetorical question, I don't know how this works.)
Any chance you have a DMZ set up on your router?
On your router, are there any settings specific to any host (other than the server maybe)? For example, a static IP or a port forwarded rule.
Do you have a VPN on the phones? Can you traceroute from your phone to the server and post that? (I like PingTools for Android.) You should have 1 hop (you -> server, nothing in between).
Can you verify that you are on the same wifi including same wifi channel? Phone on 5GHz but Linux box on 2.4GHz, for example.
Some mobile clients make it easy to accidentally downvote. I sometimes see that I accidentally downvoted a comment from time to time.
PingTools has been useful for me (though I mostly just use it for iperf).
Posted this in another reply, but their entry level hardware has decreased in price over the years I think:
