Are there jurisdictions that allow this? In my jurisdiction, that would be considered a constructive dismissal and legally treated the same way as a layoff with the same employer obligations.

The Amazon contracts specially say five days a week in office, and always have. Even through the pandemic. The work from home was always a "trust us".

So it's not constructive dismissal because they are just enforcing the already existing contracts.

I just checked mine and I don't see a provision that says I have to be in office 5 days a week anywhere. I've even seen a few folks that even had a contract that specifically said remote pre-pandemic, which the company "converted" to in-office post RTO announcement

I'm the same and fixed the issue by getting some custom eartips made. They aren't cheap but have made my AirPods Pro usable.

On-ear headphones hurt my earlobes and over-ear headphones make my head get hot so I can't seem to find happiness anywhere. The custom eartips I think have gotten me the closest though!

Have you tried the vanilla AirPods? I have the Huawei equivalent, and they are very comfortable to the point it's easy to forget I wear them. Recently, new designs (like Huawei Clip) started to appear which are apparently even more comfortable.

I've tried the vanilla Earpods which are pretty much the wired version of that. Those ones at least stay in my ear, but my ear starts to hurt after 30 mins or so.

where did you get custom tips for airpods pro? I feel the same way about the stock tips - great sound quality, but I couldn't wear them for more than 5 minutes.

This is who I used. Went to a local audiologist for the ear impression and mailed them over.

Edit: Note that these DO NOT fit inside the Airpods case, you'll need to remove them each time.

oof, didn't think about them fitting in the case. have you noticed any wear or play on the earbud/airpod interface from having to do this all the time?

Unless you’re dependent on one of the many many AWS services that don’t support IPv6-only access.

He's probably being paid by Big v6 to push it.

I imagine it was a fat fingering. I’ve purchased MBPs for my org in person at an Apple Store because I needed them urgently and I had to call my Apple rep to manually assign the serials to our company in ABM.

You can manually assign MacBooks to your Apple Business account.

Just install Apple Configurator on an iPhone and hold the phone close to the laptop at initial boot. It will show a sort of QR code and when you scan it it’s attached.

The initial detection will only trigger when it is in the “choose locale” screen, just after the very first “choose language” screen.

If you go beyond “choose locale” it will not work, even if you go back a step, and even if you reboot.

Then in ABM change the MDM platform to whatever you want (your Jamf instance) and Bob’s your uncle

That is simultaneously (a) so freaking cool and (b) the most nonobvious, undiscoverable UI/UX I've ever heard of.

"How do you do this sort-of complex business process to a new apple device?"

"Oh just install this app on your phone, then hold the phone next to the computer when you turn it on. No, don't open the app. No, don't lock the phone. No, don't click anything on the computer, lest you go too far."

It’s documented. I assure you I didn’t find that by accident =)

GDPR can apply extraterritorially but not to the extent you're suggesting.

For example, I am an EU citizen living in Canada. GDPR does not apply to any company interacting with me. However, for a US citizen living in an EU country GDPR would apply to every company they interact with. Even US based companies.

I think intent is probably implied. All software has bugs so with your assumption all software is malware.

I don’t think that clause would be enforceable because of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

They can’t deny warranty coverage because of a user modification unless they can prove the modification caused the damage?

Money. Certifying a system like that would cost a fortune and unless the operator is forced to do it or you give them a very compelling case that helps their profitability, it ain’t happening

A. It is supremely surprising that this isn't already a legal requirement. My modest software hobby business is required to keep durable copies of all communication for several years, as has been the law for decades. Yet a commercial airliner responsible for the lives of possibly hundreds of people is permitted to trash it after two hours?

B. The storage costs of cockpit audio recordings of a jetliner for its entire service lifetime might be less than the fuel for a single long haul trip. Even if we add in overhead for redundant replication and other expenses. If money is the legitimate reason for hesitation then this is miserly on an extraordinary scale.

As a commercial pilot student, I misidentified a runway once but caught it in the air and early before I started final approach.

Easy to do if you’re unfamiliar with the airport and task saturated.

Although this is in small little piston plane with only one pilot. No idea what the situation is for airline pilots in multi-crew environments.

I wouldn't say saying it came from the inside is unique to AI art. You very much need a welder's understanding of welding in order to be able to automate it for example.

I'd just say the scale is different. Old school automation just required one expert to guide the development of an automation. AI art requires the expertise of thousands.
