    So, how many reps did you start with and how many do you do nowadays?

    As someone that is not really in the game, does Okta have such a bad track record, and are there alternatives that are considered solid? From the outside, it seemed like EntraID is…

    I don't think I could give an honest reply in the abstract setting without actually being in that situation. But a significant factor would likely also be the actual work and wheth…

    I am not sure if I would manage to correctly identify every typical phrase, but the one I quoted I am absolutely certain of. You could try asking an LLM to write some prose about w…

    It started out as an interesting read, until I got to this paragraph: > The value didn't come from what was said at that moment. It came from what had been built across many such m…

    Seeing the point on UI/UX got me curious as well and from a brief look I don't quite see where it is coming from, but maybe they will expand on it. Regarding their point about rela…

    There was a comment a couple of days ago that mentioned using MDM to lock down their iPhone. So essentially, dumbing down a normal smartphone to whatever your essentials are and re…

    That’s a fair point

    That was my initial thought as well, but on second thought it does not seem like such a good idea to provide binaries that will never get patched for a public-facing service. Sure,…

    I would rather claim that building a theoretically secure system is prohibitively expensive. At the end of the day, Mythos et al. are just better tools for finding vulnerabilities …

    If that trend really wants to measure the quality of video etc. as well, it would definitely be way more. But that assumption seems very flawed to me, e.g. watching a full 4K movie…

    That’s actually crazy, what kind of task is that? And is that a recurring kind of task like some analysis, or coding related?

    I have the dock on auto-hide with a fairly slow timer for it to pop up, as I never actually use it. May be useful to you as well

    I would have assumed that some assistant goes through the inbox and only a (random or filtered) subsample of those mails actually gets read by Tim Cook.

    That is probably the reason they added the /s at the end

    I have actually been curious about this: How good can a WiFi mesh get latency-wise, given the right equipment, and how close would a consumer router setup be to that, do you happen…

    I came across Waterfox a number of times over the years, but I think it will be difficult to get a similar amount of reach for your search engine. In particular, on the home page o…

    The nice thing about many of the native apps compared to their Google pendants is the absence of ads, with the glaring exception of the app store, which looks like a dumpster-fire.…

    Yes, and it works with a user agent switcher extension for Firefox, which is always the cherry on top.

    That was my first thought as well, and I am one of those people. I strongly dislike being called, especially unexpectedly, and much prefer a quick text message to maybe meet up in …

    I cannot say much about the quality, but I am also testing around with it at the moment. As for the identity control, you may be able to achieve this with a few extra steps, if you…

    I would not go as far as calling the iPhone Minis "egregiously huge", keep in mind that screen size is not a great measure for phone sizes across different generations. You could e…
