They run GrapheneOS Wonderfully...
Someone made it and got it flying. Its available as a hobby rocket model kit:
This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.
If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.
I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad...
Because I have a firstname.lastname@popularcloudemail.domain type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.
I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!
I was also diagnosed late in life (mid 40s).
For me it became a significant impact in two places in my life:
-
as my roles changed and I needed more ability to handle "blank page" type work assignments as I became more senior, rather than "survive this chaos" which I've always excelled at (given my ability to drop something, pick up something else, then revert later.) With previous "chaos surfing" roles, my now diagnosed ADHD was actually a secret super power (seriously, I managed turn ADHD into a career). As my roles became more "take this blank page, and figure out what to do, and make it into a project to make stuff better" I fell off a performance cliff.
-
as 1 happened, my ramp up of symptom management routines started to impact my family. (I didn't actually realise this until my partner filled in her part of my diagnosis questionnaire. )
My Doc basically told me I had been doing everything they want ADHD patients to do to manage the impacts of their symptoms, but my level of challenge had reached a point where medication could help me live at an effort level below the 99.99% constant I had all the time.
He was right and it did..
At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.
Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house....
Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!
Test your hearing range with this if you want...

I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz....
When running a business, you need to budget 3x salary for actual TCO of a staff member:
1x covers their direct salary 2x covers retirement fund, electricity, office space, and infrastructure items unlike server and laptops for corporate use etc.
The 3x multiplier is for when you're a services company, and that represents a possibly profit margin.
So for signal, your $380k becomes $190k which in my experience is average for a US tech sw dev at a mid to early senior level.
I donate to signal monthly and I have no problems with the costs they're posting. I work in SV tech and I've seen 20x worse numbers.
FWIW GrapheneOS patched these storage bugs before they made it to their A14 beta.
Well, for one, Bob Sagat's performance would be described these days as "Bloated, wooden and just down right creepy.."
I get concerned when companies like Apple uses the "We won't break our application for demands of one country" argument as Australia, France, the USA and possibly other countries are either planning or already have similar legislation.
The right argument to have is the one that says "this is just plain wrong!". That is a much tougher needle to thread though.
there are ways to make it easier; it's been gamified:

When my partner stops to play pokemon go, I complete some Open Street Map info quests...
