Apple Music gave me a 90 day trial as soon as this Spotify snafu started, and it imported all but maybe 50 of my 5000+ songs from Spotify without issue, including King Gizz. I haven't touched Spotify so far this month, and I think I'm going to cancel it. I would say the music discovery features on Music are worse, but I also haven't tried to use them much yet. (That, and Spotify had gone massively downhill, I'd be lucky to get one or two new songs a month I liked with their recommendation pipeline. Which is a shame, because it used to be one of the best for me.)


That’s missing the point no? It seems to me that the movement in the article is against unlimited music streaming, just as much from Spotify as Apple Music.


Regarding Z-homing being last - usually endstop positions are on Z-, not Z+, so they do a bit of a hop (2-10mm upwards Z) before the X and Y homing so they don't crash the head. If your Z endstop is on Z-, you can home that first since you know the head is out of the way.

EDIT: to be specific, this is for "bed-slinger" printers, but the concept is the same for fixed height tool head printers (eg where the bed is what's raised and lowered).


If your name or email address has non-alphanumeric characters, their entire authorization/EULA flow breaks silently. I had to use an old email to get it to work.


Yep! I use it to run SolidWorks on my M1 Macbook. (They sure don't make it easy, though - one of their many EULA approval steps fails silently if you have any non-alphanuneric characters in your name or email address. Feels par for the course with bigcorp software that assumes you'll have an IT team to deal with things.)


It has been worked into a tune! Love this artist (Venjent), he takes a lot of random samples like that and turns them into EDM tunes.

Similarly, Mistabishi's Printer Jam from 2009 sounds much like you might expect from the title.

Please someone mention The User with their Symphonies for dot matrix printers (1999 and later): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Grb_EIDSVnY


Almost forty five years ago, Telephone and Rubber Band by PCO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_h9AvSnYQA


Venjent slaps, and this is his best track (imo).

His door genre deserves recognition too.


On the bright side, the official apple adapters are $10 and have a legitimately alright DAC in them (including mic input). I picked up a couple to use with pcs and laptops since I generally have better luck with the OEM apple adapters vs the onboard audio (which usually applies weird EQ and FX - looking at you, Dell).


I've been having good luck on my M1 Max MBP with Whisky, which uses Apple's game porting toolkit: https://getwhisky.app/


My theory... Being able to code well or fast doesn't one to one translate to a good end user experience. The strength of your org's ability to determine good features and iterate on them from a product perspective is what matters, and that /can/ potentially happen faster if AI is enabling faster development, but it's not guaranteed.

Even if we had a magic box that results in perfect code coming out every time for a given feature description, that doesn't mean the feature itself is good or well thought out.


This. AI coding can almost turn an excellent product manager into a one man shop. We all know precious few exist.


Off, for now... Until a future windows update post-install nag screen uses dark UX patterns to turn it on, probably as part of some other "yes, shut up, let me use my computer" button.


"Additional research revealed a hardware backdoor that allows authentication with an unknown key. Teuwen then used the new attack to obtain (“crack”) that secret key and found it to be common to all existing FM11RF08S cards."

Static key, decrypts all cards of a given model regardless of user stored keys? Yep, it's a backdoor.
