The problem is if someone figures it out and starts sending you spam to {random}@domain.tld. That's when you will need to sit down and start creating actual aliases for all those used email addresses and stop the catch-all forwarding:)
Also, another downside is that you will loose privacy by using your own domain.
And the lack of privacy makes targeted scam/phishing more likely, and targeted scam is the one we are most susceptible to.
All in all, I am not saying this is bad idea, in fact I am doing it myself, just pointing out this is not so black and white.
Using iCloud solves those problems, but puts you at risk of getting your account banned and loosing access to those emails, so there is that.
Probably best way to deal with it is to get dedicated email domain with a bunch of your friends, and hook it up with something like SimpleLogin. But that's gets complicated quickly ;)
Not really, this only works for other emails hosted by Gmail (including Workspaces) or if you supply SMPT that will send those emails. If you use simple email forwarding from your DNS provider, you don't have SMPT server to give to gmail:/
Ouch, I did not expect my complaining would get a response from the author!
Just to be clear, I do think Ghostty is amazing piece of software and it's so fast that it's hard to believe, so thank you for the hard work.
> read Ghostty's terminfo page, but also just do some light web searching on how terminfo works. Its a total nightmare.
Oh, yea, I totally get that. I actually _did_ try to understand what the issue is, but gave up on that time-sink rabbit hole and decided I might give it another try once the xterm-ghostty is more popular.
Have you considered the fact it could be because Apple Watch itself is closed, walled garden and Apple has full control over its security (and therefore trust in it)?
Imagine a world where they allow Pebble to go through certification process for it to get jailbroken half a year down the road opening the gateway to iMessage for all the spammers in the world. What then? Should Apple now play whac-a-moll with the spammers forever, or block the access to all Pebble watches creating another scandal? And what if this happens to next 10 different watch makers down the road?
They own Apple Watch and if it gets jailbroken its their mess to deal with, but if they open it to the world then they have zero control over it.
Free does not mean limitless. Where I live in EU its not uncommon to wait for over a year to see a doctor on „free” insurance and less than 24h when you pay out of your pocket.
People get free insurance but hospitals get fixed amounts of cash allowing them to admit fixed amount of patients
In this scenario the answer is yes, it loses some value. Still much better system than private care in US
For a several years now, all new cars sold in EU must have an S.O.S. button that will call emergency services. As a result each and every car has some sort of SIM card built-in and a cellular plan that works across entire Europe.
This SIM card must be free, but its a gateway to things like upselling (pay us $XX and get a wifi in your car) and also a way for the manufacturer to have always-on connection with the car.
Some manufacturers (KIA/Hyundai, Ford, Toyota) offer complimentary free app that you can use to check car location, open/close it, turn on AC (hybrid/ev) etc. with option for more paid features.
Edit: As for the speed limit, its also Europe regulation from this year - car must know the speed limit and beep if you exceed it. Different manufacturers do it differently, but since this has been optional feature for so many years in every car, all manufacturers had this ready - and its mostly based on built-in navigation + road sign recognition. It could use cellular but since this has been feature for so long I don't think this is how it works in majority cases.
Unfortunately, its not that simple. From the car company perspective, all they want is to sell new cars and they are perfectly happy with scrapping the 8-years old EV with damaged battery.
Also, people keep talking about converting batteries to home energy storage but its not that simple to do on your own - in fact its borderline dangerous to do so on your own due to hundreds tricky mistakes you can make that will end up with fire completely burning your home. This will only make sense at industrial scale but that also means it wont be too cheap anymore (not to mention those 8-years old cars which are in good condition, just missing battery that is more expensive than new car).
Also, I do think people are scared way too much by those dying batteries. Some of them will fails, sure, but there are so many gasoline cars with engines which have like 50% failire rate between 90k-180k miles driven. That's also pretty expensive to fix where often the only choice is to buy another engine from crashed car. I assume it might be similar here - 20-30% batteries will fail soon after the 8y warranty and will be replaced by batteries from crashed cars, the rest will work just fine for 15+y
I own Mach-E EV and I am scared. It's a great car, I love it but looking at what tesla is doing to the EV market - both new and used - I can't even fantom how it will look in a few years.
Its surprising how on one hand a huge effort is put into World of Warcraft running smoothly on macOS (they always implement all the new Metal features with every expansion and it was the first native Apple Silicon game) but completely abandoned macOS for new titles.
Well, yes its Apple thing, and they do have systems in place to prevent this, though I'd argue they are not very user friendly for non-tech savy people.
It's not a multi-billion company, it a bank that has billions of loans and deposits (assets and liabilities). Yes, its a profitable bank but on order of magitude lower scale:
> It also logged a pretax profit of £88 million ($106.5 million) in its last fiscal year ended December.
Am I missing something? I know of this limitation but I dont understand why would anyone need this. What's the goal or running Windows on Mac to run WSL on it?
The thing is, it only supports windows xp + windows 7, and not 8/10/11 (those are supported as arm64). Apparently the amount of work is massive (so are performance hits for the Windows XP/7 when you run it).
It's one thing to emulate apps, another entirely to emulate whole advanced OS.
Haven't heard about them, but its more like Heroku - not pure VMs but instead IaaS where you deploy apps using CLI and they manage/scale machines for you.
Also, another downside is that you will loose privacy by using your own domain.
And the lack of privacy makes targeted scam/phishing more likely, and targeted scam is the one we are most susceptible to.
