Google Is ‘Thinking Through’ How to Make the Pixel Watch Repairable
  • It is. Making anything easier to disassemble requires connectors which are a huge tradeoff in terms of space Vs features. Screws take a whole lot of space especially in something you want as thin as possible such as a watch.

    Nowadays the direction is embedding of passive and even active components directly into the PCB layers and an increase of the number of layers. That means that if any of them fails there's nothing to be done, or at least not without equipments that cost way too much to be worthwhile to anyone.

    In a few years, microelectronic systems will be mostly just one big custom die with the processing units and all accompanying mosfet, inductors, capacitors and resistors directly etched into a 25 layers PCB with barely any surface mounted components. Even lithium batteries can been embedded and most likely will.

    If you want something totally serviceable you will have to sacrifice on size.

  • I tried to selfhost Nextcloud at work
  • That reminds me of work. I'm old, young me has been through the mistakes and the pain of wanting to control and self-host everything.

    Now I manage a team of young idealists who have not yet been burned sufficiently hard by reality and I feel like I spend half of my time denying them permission to add new self-hosted services to our stack.

    Just last month a young padawan was pissed at the spent on an external auth service and had been pushing hard for a self hosted OSS solution which he was convinced he could handle by himself (which was most likely true, from a purely technical standpoint).

    Since he wouldn't let it go, I "punished" him by having him spend one day in excel and powerpoint to prepare a cost benefit analysis to present to the architecture review board, including server cost, backups, redundancy, security, monitoring, pen-testing, auditing, his time and all the bells and whistles we needed to be compliant with all the ISO-x we have to be. (we're in a banking related field).

    Our estimated internal cost ended up about 6x the one of the SASS solutions and still wasn't as reliable.

    Most people don't understand the amount of effort it requires to run a secure & reliable system and if I had a dollar for everytime I heard it's as simple as "docker run", I could retire early.

  • Switzerland: Police investigate 1st use of 'suicide capsule'
  • Swiss law allows for assisted suicide so long as the person takes his or her life with no "external assistance" and those who help the person do not do so for "any self-serving motive," according to a government website.

    So you can get help or not?

  • Smart home
  • I have this old & tiny b&w laser printer that someone gave me that is actually perfect for the 2 prints a year I need to do, by my calculation the toner it came with should last me roughly another 250 years.

  • « On repart 50 ans en arrière » : au procès des viols de Mazan, le visionnage des vidéos se fera sans la presse
  • C'est énervant mais c'est logique.

    Le juge se doit de les traiter comme innocent tout au long du procès, et donc ça implique effectivement de « respecter leur dignité ».

    Le droit a la dignité a été consacré comme principe a valeur constitutionnel par le le conseil du même nom en se basant sur le préambule de 1946.

    C'est également l'article 1, chapitre 1 de Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne.

    Et plus généralement la préservation de la dignité humaine est une notion fondamentale et transcendante de notre système légale.

    Et ce n'est pas un droit que l'ont perd, quelque soit le crime dont on est accusé.

    Évidement ca ne mesh pas avec les gens qui veulent une exécution publique et pas un procès dans les règles.

    Je suppose que vous vous ne voudriez pas qu'ils puissent porter plainte a leur tour et en plus se faire indemniser, ou réussir a faire péter leur condamnation à la CJEU a cause de ça ?

    Le juge avait pas le choix.

  • Apple's macOS Sequoia Update Breaks Security Tools
  • A few year back it wasn't rare to find company who were running two years behind windows update.

    The fact that 90% of corporate stuff now runs in the browser has alleviated most of the upgrade issue.

  • Macron names right-leaning French government under Michel Barnier
  • The United Right alliance placed first for the third straight election and won a plurality of seats but fell short of a Sejm majority. The opposition, consisting of the Civic Coalition, Third Way, and The Left, achieved a combined total vote of 54%, managing to form a majority coalition government.

    So exactly the opposite of what you said.

    The party with the largest number or seat didn't get to make a government and the largest coalition who managed to get a majority of seats did.

  • Macron names right-leaning French government under Michel Barnier
  • Technically the left didn't win the majority of seat in the parliament. They have a relative majority as in they are the biggest group in parliament by a small margin but they don't have the majority needed to make a stable government.

    A majority vote from the parliament can oust the PM and his government.

    If you take all the right wing parties, they hold the majority of seats (2/3rd). A left leaning government would last 48 hours, so in spite of french leftists telling everyone they "won", they didn't.

    Our electoral system is very flawed though and the current make up of the parliament is not representative of what people want, there are much better voting system for plurality based political system that could be implemented.
