For me this feature is worth upgrading over: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/you-can-finally-manag...

Hmm, that actually is an important difference. I was considering trying to set something like this up so I didn't have to bring two laptops with me while traveling, but was skeptical it would go smoothly, apparently for good reason.

You need to read the book for the reference. Apparently mark likes to play catan and everyone else looses on purpose…

In a rental unit you should not have things that can’t be replaced. People who rent it will break things, either by accident or purpose (there are always idiots around).

I know it’s not a official client but rclone have great iCloud support (but only if you don’t enable advanced data protection).

The article spells it out clearly: charging them with violating sanctions law by directly or indirectly making economic resources available to EU-sanctioned entities.

>"making economic resources available to EU-sanctioned entities."

this is very vague

It comes from EU law. E.g. Council Regulation No 269/2014 defines economic resources as "assets of every kind, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, which are not funds but may be used to obtain funds, goods or services." (https://finance.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2020-06/200619-opi...)

And of course "EU-sanctioned entities" is a rather well-defined list, details here: https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/consolidated-list-of-pe...

Sanctions thing is such a hypocrisy. Russia pumped through ukraine about $1B worth of gas PER DAY after the war started and continued for about 2 years, yet they sanctioned some companies that were like a drop in the ocean of those billions paid to Putin

If it feels fake?

Ok, I'm not from US so maybe I'm missing something here. Why exactly does his speech feel fake?

The part where there will be jobs in the future. Not that I think Eric Schmidt or anyone else is responsible. The genie is out of the bottle and you can't put it back in, no individuals or companies or states can.

His former company keeps firing people and saying the very reason for that is AI.

There sure is hope for C-level to juice more and more. People who are about to join work market may not share the positivity.

its fake because they have tried their hardest to hoard all the money to themselves

Burglars are a thing.

Also a reason to have off-site backups. Many people have done backups to local servers, only to discover that they have no way to recover their data because thieves stole everything.

I think of the books by Charles Stross halting state and rule 34 are both better books and give a better 15 minutes into the future feeling.

Halting state might be a bit dated but rule 34 absolutely holds up.

Or the dark empire comic book series.

So much ripe fruit just sitting there that the decision to wander away and do their own thing would still have been objectively crazy even if they had fully succeeded. It just would have been an objectively crazy decision that they managed to succeed despite making.
