Just because it technically supported something in some RFC it doesn't mean you could get affordable and capable equipment supporting it.

Hetzner provides backups for VPS and machines across all tiers, which are very easy to set up.

I had like... less than 10 minutes downtime on Hetzner in years (funny enough, that makes my personal containers more reliable than productionized AWS and GCP deployments with their constant partial outages). So perhaps all that complexity (beyond maybe a backup container) isn't really necessary for companies where a bit of downtime doesn't really affect revenue?

Like, I know Leetcode tells otherwise, but most companies really don't need full FAANG stack with 99.999% uptime. A day of outage in a few years isn't going affect bottom lines.

Second that I wrote the same in my comment somewhere above.

LARPing as a FAANG is waste of money and lots of companies doesn’t even need 3 nines let alone 5ve.

You can get an (a bit less than) a full employee for that. And that's a better ROI than just throwing it away.

I don't think you can get someone decent in a tech related job for that much money anywhere.

Companies have other employees than just techbros and in many cases they're more valuable.

Android Studio is IntelliJ with tweaks.

Not sure what that dude is going on about, noone sane wants VSCode over that.

It is like it is because:

* It was designed by people who didn't have the full picture and were missing representatives from hardware vendors, small businesses, home network admins and a bunch of other people that will be affected by design.

* It was designed by people who didn't consider the cost of migration and the amount of work that would require (see previous point).

* It was designed by people who lived in an ivory tower of "noone will run dual stack for a long time", "everyone will love to run two completely separate network designs".

* It was designed on a premise that end-to-end, fully accessbile devices are something we actually want and won't cause privacy issues.

I think it should be a study material on how standards and designs by commitee can go wrong if they're not headed by people with extensive experience across the industry with enough authority to push for good solutions.

IPv6 tried to do too much (just like many software "let's refactor this legact code") and was done by people who didn't consider all perspectives and costs (again, like many less experienced architects trying to rewrite legacy software).

So this "hack" is basically reading app storage on a rooted phone?

Wow.

The whole notion that Google (or Apple or anyone else) should ignore and flaunt the state is insane by itself.

I don't want megacorps to ignore our EU laws just like I don't want them to ignore US laws. They're not people, they don't get the right to disobedience.

It is the US administration that is flaunting the law, not Google. Nobody is actually asking Google to break the law, they are in fact asking it to follow the law by not complying with illegal requests.

Which requests in this case were illegal? And isn't legality established by the person suing the government in this case and not megacorp playing the lawyer?

ICE's use of "administrative subpoenas" and other executive tactics are in violation of the 4th Amendment of the Constitution. To operate legally, their request would need to be approved by a judge. That's not even a high bar, given the judiciary rubber-stamps the vast majority of warrants, but they can't even be bothered with that. The article points out that Google used to notify users of exactly this kind of request specifically so that the victim of the crime had time to challenge the subpoena in court, where it would be tossed out without giving away their private information, but now people are no longer being given a chance to defend themselves from abuse by Google's complicity.

I mean, I’d rather foreigners who demonstrate and cause civil unrest not visit my country - seems like a lot less trouble for everybody that way.

When in Rome.

The law of their respective country most likely.
