RIP any hope for an Apple alternative to Samsung Dex. An iPhone 16 pro running the same specs will never be able to run macOS. We already knew it but this made official

Why would anyone buy this over a good as new refurb 16 pro with 100% battery and likely few months of Apple care left? Here they can be found for $650 or less
Looking at this, it looks like it's intended to handle that by only denying certain code paths.
Think denying access to production. But allowing changes to staging. Prove yourself in the lower environments (other repos, unlocked code paths) in order to get access to higher envs.
Hell, we already do this in the ops world.
So basically we are back at tagging stuff as good for first contributors like we have been doing since the dawn of GitHub
How does a potential positive contributor pierce through? If they are not contributing to something already and are not in the network with other contributors? They might be a SME on the subject and legit have something to bring to the table but only operated on private source.
I get that AI is creating a ton of toil to maintainers but this is not the solution.

Yes but Heathrow has around twice as many departures per day (edit after your edit:) than Gatwick.
This is on BBC news. Heathrow is twice as busy as any other airport in the UK. It's the easiest major airport to reach from London (other than LCY which is not that "major"). I literally know people who are leaving from Heathrow this week and are affected by this. C'mon, it's newsworthy.
Yeah and 50% more than Rome, but overall less than all airports already doing it in Europe. This news made front page out of two things:
1) English people do not know anything about continental Europe
2) Americans do not know anything about Europe

Heathrow is by far the largest airport in the UK, with several times more flights per day than any other, and flights to a broader range of destinations. So it affects a lot more prospective fliers. I looked up European airports and found some mention that Rome and Milan also have this new equipment, but they're both still significantly smaller than Heathrow.
Gatwick already had it too, at least a part of it.
The fact Heathrow got 30/40% more traffic than other airports in the same continent already having it doesn’t make the news worth all this noise.

How is this news? A lot of airports in Europe had had this for years and even in England there were terminals within the major hubs where this was already the norm

Reading the blog post and comments here from fellow UK inhabitants I am shocked to see how phone lines are considered common when I always ever lived in places with only one of them for the entire place (3+ bedroom houses on two floors).
Halan commented on GitHub should charge everyone $1 more per month to fund open source blog.greg.technology/2025... · Posted by u/evakhoury
GitHub already charges organisations to fund open source features. Otherwise it wouldn't lack so many enterprise level features, it wouldn't have half baked solution that do not take into consideration enterprise requirements. GH Actions for example is still not there yet after years
Always fingerpick test if the monitor throws a number you don’t feel.
Any diabetic person must have heard and read this recommendation a thousand times.
The actual scenario to worry about is if the number is too high and a close loop system make so the pump injects too much insulin.
