Isn’t HFS still a thing people use? Literally one file, no need for python, no install, just run it and you’ve got an http interface available on your local network to upload/download files to.

Yes and no. It’s more that there is a lag time between demand and supply. So the scarcity is “manufactured” but simply because the manufacturer rolled the dice on the demand and lost.
Keep in mind, many manufacturers aren’t selling for more to stores when this happens, they typically have a contract setting a price.
Now, can the manufacturer back out of this contract and demand a higher price? It really depends on the contract wording. You can’t really be forced to sell things unless a specific number of items was part of the contract.


We aren’t even halfway to the “this isn’t a great idea to live in” levels, and far from lethal levels. Purely from a “toxicity” level your bedroom at night is far worse than projected co2 levels in the next 100 years.
Does that mean it’s fine to keep increasing? No. But arguing that we are anywhere near “high levels” as it pertains to toxicity is inherently flawed.


Strawman much?


Yes, but my point is that it’s a completely separate problem. Think of agentics like powershell applets. They generally only do one thing, but you can chain them together to achieve a larger goal.
You’re complaining about single applet, or a specific type of applet, while the topic is applets in general.


To play devils advocate, agentic things wouldn’t necessarily include software development. “Hey siri create me an e-commerce site” isn’t likely to happen for a long while, because like you said it’s a complex thing that doesn’t have clear success measures. But “hey siri get me a restaurant reservation at place, hire a taxi for me to get there, and let Brad know the details” can be broken down into a number of different “simple” things that have simple to define measures of success. Did a reservation get booked? Did we tell Brad the details? etc.


I promise you, cloudflare is down less often than my self hosted sites. >.>


This is a weird response. From the sounds of things, Rebble essentially “stole” at least a large number of the apps in question from the original developers, and now claims that data as their own. Going so far as to charging for access. Which makes no sense at all.
Eh, it’s running a whopping 300W power supply. It also seems to be pretty damn tiny.


I’m not seeing how this is any different than getting an ID at the DMV… in fact this may be more secure if you can’t just pull the ID up on a locked phone, which would be an improvement.


Just as an example, 1Password has a secondary encryption key that they can’t even recover. If you lose it, you’re fucked. I doubt the chances of that being cracked are any good at all.


In fairness, that’s another 2 year commitment.


But that bad content would flow over to the new platform. Just like bots and bad actors exist here on Lemmy, and wether or not you want them to be here they are.
You can’t build for “the good content” and assume the bad won’t follow. And honestly, once you hit a certain scale it is literally impossible to weed out the bad.

“Affordable” is relative. Do we even know what the drives are?


Sounds good in theory but there just isn’t anything that can hold up to the same traffic. Don’t get me wrong, I’d migrate away from YouTube in a heartbeat, but there really isn’t much that compares when it comes to the creators, and the music. All of which are “free” and easy to access with an ad blocker.
And I’m including piracy.


Oof, I’d question how they could even determine that beyond “shouldn’t have worn that fast” but I suppose they know what they’re doing…


Horsepower is a pretty standard way to advertise things in the automotive industry…


So you get another set under the warranty? Maybe even twice?
I mean, are you intending to retroactively add SSL to every tool implementing SSL in the past few decades?…
Browsers aren’t the only thing that ingress SSL.
