So the U.S. military will start killing Americans opposed to fascism (aka anti-fascists; aka the designated terrorist organization Antifa).

Like we didn’t all see this coming…
And yet I’m still surprised it’s arrived.

How was support experience wrt replacing the bad cloudkeys?

"The star of The Apprentice couldn’t believe he was talking to the daughter of the great Pat Summerall. ‘He’s said it a million times,’ Wiles said. 'I judge people by their genes.’

There it is…

I will admit I gave Protect an unfair advantage as it’s the only fully first party solution I tried (unless you count Apple HomeKit Secure Video?)

Protect with 3rd party cameras is indeed lacking. But it works like magic with first party cameras.

The only other solution I’ve tried was QNAP QVR Pro with third party cameras and it was awful

Sounds like you’re having better luck with HKSV than I did. For me that is where I started and quickly bailed on it despite the unlimited cloud storage. It just did a terrible job at recording video. It would always end the recording with the detected subject still in the frame. It was incredibly frustrating.

Is this a common issue folks have with Protect? I haven’t seen it talked about so far.

TBH, for me, Protect has been so much better than the other NVR solutions I’ve tried it has been a big driving force behind the appeal for me.

I don’t think they were calling the meme template misogynistic

Not sure this counts as zero fucks. This person seems to have put a lot of effort into crafting a very unique look.

Not very because I love them and want to help them with their bullshit.

FWIW - If I use “Reader” mode in iOS (I’m sure there’s an android equivalent) I get the whole article.

this is okay?

I dunno…I heard Trump got slammed by republican lawmakers for it…

How have I not seen this used even once at any time in the past decade?

I suppose you think 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is Ionic too…

That’s funny - I thought I didn’t get it because I’m not German…

That’s a Doric column and this alpaca is a big doric. Look at that bandana or scarf or whatever.

What a doric…

Yeah - this really confused me. Why did they make a second update on the 14th when the first update said they’d hear back on the 15th?

Their first party account is an interesting read and available on their blog here:

The post was updated yesterday with the following:

Update 14 December 2025: Someone from Executive Relations at Apple says they’re looking into it. I hope this is true. They say they’ll call me back tomorrow, on 15 December 2025. In the mean time, it’s been covered by Daring Fireball, Apple Insider, Michael Tsai, and others, thanks folks! I’ve received 100s of emails of support, and will reply to you all in time, thank you. Finger’s crossed Apple calls back.

Unless I’m missing something, that inflation calculation is waaaaay off…

15 shillings/week * 4 weeks = 60 shillings or £3
£3 in 1843 is equivalent to £333

I think I learned this after replacing the disposal which made it much less useful information in that moment

I’m absolutely in love with the Beverage Center. I use the heck out of the pitcher.

We got a French door version with the drawer freezer. I’m a bit skeptical of the 4 door. Seems like the freezer would be awkward to access and organize but I’d be interested to hear how it goes in practice.
