They meant the lawsuit will take 20 years to adjudicate, by which point it will be completely irrelevant.

Enterprises that buy ThinkPads do care about maintainability and Lenovo does provide parts and detailed instructions to repair almost every aspect of their machines.

They most likely have contracts with them Lenovo and were former users of IBM.

I haven’t heard of any big company tyat repairs their own hardware in about 20 or so years.

I used to have a UniFi gateway for the nice traffic visualization but Ubiquiti lost my trust when they started running telemetry without consent and I’ve gone back to an OpenBSD’s box as router, thus this device does little for me.

I’m looking forward to the GL.Inet MUDI 7, their first 5G hotspot, which should be running an open-source and hackable OS unlike most hotspots:

I have a little WIFI-6 era GL.iNet travel router and it is fantastic, really like their software and hardware.

For both home and travel routers OpenWRT is far and away superior to Unifi gear. Usability, configurability, and especially security.

What makes them more so secure? Configurability I can see, usability maybe, as Ubiquiti is all about simplification and ease of use.

- open source and auditable

- support modern VPN protocols like WireGuard and Tailscale

Open source and auditable I can see.

Ubiquti does support wireguard natively. And you can get Tailscale running if you manually install the package through the SSH CLI.

Ubiquidropped all cloud requirements, but I am not sure what you are referring too here.

I haven't paid attention for a while, but this definitely hurt their brand massively: https://www.theregister.com/2019/11/07/ubiquiti_networks_pho...

Pretty sure that's what OP is referring to.

Exactly.

I’ve been waiting for one of these with built in eSIM support

This one has eSIM and dual physical SIM support.

I’m really struggling to understand the SIM side, the page talks about 5G while tethered to a phone?

I think these models can act as router while leveraging RNDIS tethering if you don't have a separate sim card...

Zero mention of anything other than WiFi on its tech specs page :-/

This is incorrect. No sim support here, and no cellular modem either :-)

I was talking about the https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-e5800/, it in fact does have eSIM and 2 physical SIM slots.

Web search engines' advertising can be hidden with an ad blockier. The App Store? Not so much. Its search is completely unusable anyway, even when you give it the exact app name you want.

Apple's enshittification is real, and accelerating.

You can charge a premium for a premium experience, or you can show ads, but not booth. This reinforces my determination to move off macOS and iOS to Linux and GrapheneOS.

Wang never led a frontier lab. He founded a company that uses hlow-paid uman intelligence to label training data. But clearly he is as slick a schmoozer as Sam Altman to have taken in a seasoned operator like Zuckerberg.

Google and PayPal are notorious for locking customers out with no recourse.

Or even if they have any operations outside the EU, as the recent case where a Canadian court requested data from OVH showed.

$2000 seems ridiculously overpriced. They are based in the City of London and I suspect they are cargo-culting the Bloomberg Terminal, hence the name.

Meh. When I see Developer Terminal I’m thinking more Mac OS Terminal where I live out my days and nights than Bloomberg’s Terminal.

I know Bloomberg’s is iconic in the financial world but that’s a different persona.

Also, before the responses to me start to pile up, yes: I am aware of the UNIX underpinnings that NextOS/MacOS relies on for Terminal and the influences thereafter.

I wish they made their keyboard into a standalone Bluetooth device, it's far better than anything else in its size class.

Bluetooth is a PITA.

This is the 21st century version of an axiom: it's an XKCD.

Pairing is a pain, charging is a nuisance, battery life is a constant worry, responsiveness is dodgy... there is nothing good about it. Give me something built-in, cabled, and always-on.

Wireless is for fashion victims.
