I'm amazed apple has got by with a 3/4 day charge for 10 generations while garmin has had products with a 7+ day charge for years.

Ultra has better battery life, most people don’t wear a watch while sleeping, so it’s easy to charge at night like you do with a phone anyway. It also enables you to do almost everything essential in terms of communication without a phone if you want to leave it. Garmin watches do not.

So they brute forced 2fac codes?

hx833001 · 8 months ago

Yes, because of a horrendous implementation by Microsoft. 3 minutes instead of 30 second TOTP validity and unlimited guesses.

Seems like it was previously owned by Coherent, like some kind of III-V (specifically GaAs mentioned) photonics processes there in the past. This kind of technology is typically quite useful for lasers, LEDs, or potentially image sensors as well. Many LIDAR sensors and even light sources can notably depend on III-V semiconductor sensors. Also widely used by the telecom industry.

Outside photonics definitely useful for high speed electronics, but that would probably take more process development to get going.

They were closing because their major contract had been with Apple for FaceID components https://www.euronews.com/business/2024/05/27/apple-changes-l...

Not sure why you say that. The Biden admin pursued a number of cases and recently got a monopoly ruling on Google

hx833001 · a year ago

The case was filed by the Trump administration in 2018, not Biden.

Intel should have produced ARM chips for Apple as a foundry. If they’re to be wildly successful again, they will be doing this anyway. They gave up 18+ years out of x86 pride and bad leadership. I hope Gelsinger can beat TSMC at the process technology game and win Apple’s business.

They just don’t care. Corporate tactics 101 - push limits until someone screams bloody murder.

It’s the big corporate equivalent of move fast and Break things that is so beloved of SV

So i'm not the only one, huh. Got myself an iPhone, downloaded 2 apps, went to bed, woke up to a complete lockout. They unblocked me through a phone support request, after 18 hours, and then hit me with a fresh ban, not even 24 hours later. Account got permabanned after like 5 more calls, where they just started sending me a legal notice instead.

The fact that your device can become a complete brick, because of an issue in their completely hands-off account management system, smells like a class action suit

You should email Tim Cook. Executive relations can often fix problems. Edit: amazing that someone downvoted advice. This site has some problems.

I'm using my own domain for e-mail, but obviously I need another e-mail for registrar, hoster, etc. I used to use gmail for that, but recently switched to icloud as I thought gmail is too dangerous with Google banning people around. Seems Apple's no better.

I have no idea how to untangle this dependency chain. I'm using registrar in my country, so if everything goes wrong, I can just contact them with my ID and hopefully fix things up, but I'd prefer to have 100% reliable e-mail in the first place.

hx833001 · a year ago

As long as you can change your Mx records, it doesn’t matter who is hosting your email. If Apple had a problem, you could switch it to any other provider and request the reset email again, etc.

Do people do that? I just use my phone beside the old useless infotainment. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a new car that used an in-house infotainment specifically because they go obsolete quickly (<5-10 years) and cannot be economically (or at all) to the latest tech. Carplay seems to be long lived.

hx833001 · a year ago

No degradation at all for me over seven years. It’s a game changer. Car still feels new
